City Council Minutes April 16, 1990 Page 5 e Holmgren stated that he would be in favor of the proposed ordinance amendment but only as it relates to R-2b zones. Councilmember Schuldt stated that he did not feel the amendment was logical because when making anordinance amendment the Council must look into the future and consider how this would affect other R-2b areas in the City. Mayor Tralle stated that he felt a 6500 square foot lot size and 60 feet wide was too small and would like to see the lot size increased to 7500 square feet with four density units per acre and setbacks of 30 feet for the front, 5 feet for the side and 10 feet for the rear, with the 5 foot sideyard setback being from garage to garage. Councilmember Kropuenske suggested changing the proposal to six density units per acre with a 7,000 square foot lot size. The City Administrator stated that there is only 1.5 acres of the R-2b zoned property left in the Ci ty of Elk River and suggested that the Council do nothing with the ordinance amendment and limit R-2b zoned property in the future.
