November 3, 1980 Page Two The City Administrator indicated that a Zoning Ordinance amendment was also necessary, because the permitted uses under R-4 do not list religious institutions as an allowable use, and further indicated that the City Planner and City Attorney both found that the use is appropriate in the R-4 district, and it was merely excluded as an oversight in the drafting of the Ordinance. The City Administrator indicated that it is recommended by City Staff that the City Council amend the permitted uses for the R-4 Zoning District to allow bot'h religious institutions and schools as permitted uses. The City Administrator further indicated that the Conditional Use Request for the Assembly of God Church is to allow a temporary trailer to be parked immediately behind the Church to function as a classroom and meeting room until such time as the Assembly of God Church can actually construct their planned addition. The City Administrator further indicated that the Planning Commission had reviewed the above requests at their October 27,1980 meeting, and voted unamimously to approve the zone change from R-l to R-4 and the corresponding Land Use Change, and to approve the Conditional Use Permit for a temporary trailer to be located 15 ft. from the Church for a period of one year. Mr. Lawrence Westholter, a citizen from the area, questioned the possibility of the Assembly of God's Church to use their basement, rather than adding on an addition, for their classroom and meeting activities. Mr. Dexter Mapsen, representative for the Assembly of God's Church, explained that their Church did not have enough room at this time and therefore, the need for additional classroom/meeting room space is necessary.

Barrington Place Final Plat The City Administrator indicated that the final plat for the Barrington Place Planned Unit Development had been reviewed and approved by City Staff and further indicated that the one change included in the final plat from the preliminary plat is the leg of the service road, linking the main body of the Planned Unit- Development to the Elk Hills Drive, inasmuch as it is not a part of the plat and therefore presents certain legal difficulties in the legal description of the final plat. The City Administrator further indicated that the construction of the road would be secured by the Developer's Agreement between Mr. Santwire and the City of Elk River. The City Administrator indicated that part of the final plat approval for the Planned Unit Development is the Developer's Agreement, which stipulates the uses allowable in the Planned Unit Development, in particular, the uses in the commercial area, and sets forth the terms and conditions of the completion of the improvements in the Planned Unit Development, which includes the sewer hookups, buffer areas, and screening as all parts of the agreement.
