Elk River City Council Minutes September 16, 1991 Page 4 e 7. THAT NO REPAIR OF VEHICLES IS ALLOWED EXCEPT FOR MINOR WORK ON VEHICLES OWNED BY THE BUSINESS. 8. THAT ANY DEVIATION FROM THE LAYOUT OF THE SITE OR THE IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED BY THE PETITIONER WILL REQUIRE AN AMENDMENT TO THIS PERMIT (I.E. MORE THAN 5,000 SQUARE FEET OF DISPLAY FOR TRACTORS). 9. THAT THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT BE REVIEWED IN TWO YEARS. Councilmember Kropuenske indicated that he felt farm equipment could be displayed on Class 5 surface and felt that if it were displayed on grass, the weeds would grow around the equipment causing an unsightly area. Mayor Tralle indicated that the addition of a condition requiring the conditional use permit to be reviewed in two years would prevent this from happening. Councilmember Dietz agreed to add this to his motion. COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN SECONDED THE MOTION. Councilmember Schuldt opposed. THE MOTION CARRIED 4-1. 5.1. Zone Change John Weicht/R-2b to C-3/Public Hearing e Steve Rohlf indicated that John Weicht has requested to zone change property owned by six property owners from R-2b-Townhouse and multi-family residential to C-3-Highway Commercial. Steve Rohlf indicated that rezoning the property to commercial would be a departure from the Growth Management Plan, but a logical one. Planning Commission representative Robert Bischoff indicated that the Planning Commission approved the zone change. He further indicated that Mary Eberley had stated that she would like to see the property developed as a PUD. Mayor Tralle opened the public hearing. John Kuester, 19203 Jackson Road, indicated that he had no objections to rezoning the property to commercial, however, he indicated that he shared Mary Eber ley's feelings that he would like to see the property developed as a whole. He stated that the property has natural features and that care should be taken to preserve the quality of the area. He also stated he would feel more comfortable with an overall plan for the development of the property to eliminate the danger of the property being developed in a piece meal fashion. John Weicht indicated that it is the intention of the developer to develop the property as a whole parcel as much as possible. There being no further comments from the public, Mayor Tralle closed the public hearing. e Councilmember Kropuenske indicated that a PUD allows for more discretion and control of the development. He indicated he has reservations in rezoning the property to C-3 as all uses allowed in a C-3 zone would be allowed to be developed in the area.
