Planning Commission Workshop <br /> April 11,2000 <br /> Page 2 <br /> In general, the Commission was pleased with the changes submitted by the <br /> applicant. <br /> 2. Zoning Standards <br /> The Commission reviewed the draft outline for the reorganization of the zoning <br /> district standards. No changes were proposed by the Commission. <br /> The Commission did, however, discuss building standards and expressed an <br /> interest in reviewing other cities' requirements including Minnetonka,Stillwater <br /> and Maple Grove. This item will be added to a future workshop agenda for <br /> further discussion by the Commission. The Commission also requested that they <br /> review street light standards and also wanted to work on standards for townhouse <br /> development. <br /> 3. Evaluate Consolidation of Single Family Zoning Districts <br /> The Commission discussed the various single family zoning districts and the merits <br /> of combining several into one district. The Commission agreed in concept that <br /> districts Al, R1a and RI would be maintained. They also expressed an interest in <br /> maintaining R 1 d,which would perhaps help preserve areas with significant stands <br /> of trees or water bodies requiring protection. It appeared that R 1 c and R 1 e <br /> districts would be combined into one. <br /> 4. Other Business <br /> The Commission agreed to review the League of Minnesota Cities training video <br /> at their June workshop prior to visiting other cities cluster developments. <br /> 5. Adjournment <br /> Having no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> //4-- <br /> Mi hele McPherson <br /> Director of Planning <br /> • <br />
