Tralle and Holmgren Members Absent: None Staff Present: Pat Klaers. City Administrator; Lori Johnson. Finance Director; and Stephen Rohlf. Building and Zoning Administrator 1. Call Meeting to Order Pursuant to due call and notice thereof. the meeting of the Elk River City Council was called to order at 7:00 p.m. 2. Consideration of Zone Change Request by Dirk Barrett/Public Hearing e At a previous City Council meeting Mr. Barrett received Council approval of an administrative subdivision. The newly created approximately 5.5 acre parcel of land was partly zoned industrial (I-1) and partly zoned agricultural (A-1). Mr. Barrett was aware that it is against City Code for a house to be located in an I-1 zone. He was under the impression that the location of his house fell into the A-1 portion of the lot; however. after close review of the site plan submitted for the building permit. it was discovered that the house site fell within the I-1 portion of this parcel. Therefore. Mr. Barrett is requesting a zone change from I-1/light industrial to A-1/agricultural. The newly created agricultural zoned parcel would be physically attached to other A-1 properties. The Mayor opened the public hearing at this time. There being no one for or against the item. Mayor Gunkel closed the public hearing. The Elk River Planning Commission has reviewed the application and unanimously recommended approval of the zone change. COUNCILMEMBER TRALLE MOVED TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 87-34 AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE ZONE CHANGE REQUEST BY MR. AND MRS. DIRK BARRETT FROM LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO AGRICULTURAL. COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 5-0. e Stephen Rohlf. Building and Zoning Administrator. stated that the Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that the land use map not be changed because of this zoning amendment. This recommendation came from the Planning Commission to the City Council in spite of the fact that the land use map shows this property as medium industrial. Mr. Rohlf stated that the Planning Commission's recommendation was based on the fact that 1) this property is attached to other agriculturally zoned property which is also shown as medium industrial on the land use map; 2) that to amend the land use map for Mr. Barrett's parcel of land would create an isolated agricultural zone on the land use map; and 3) that the land use map will be updated in the very near future per recommendation from the Growth Management Plan Task Force.
