. . - . Planning Commission Mintues August 27, 1991 Page 9 Mr. Rohlf also felt that because they are an industrial uses, Staff is recommending approval of the zone change request. Staff is also recommending that the land use map is amended to MI/Medium Industrial for those parcels that get rezoned to industrial. The general consensus of the Planning Commission was that in the near future the rest of the parcels were also going to be rezoned to industrial or commerical because of the industrial uses in the area, and therefore, felt that it should be rezoned industrial. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE ZONE CHANGE REQUEST FROM R-3/MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO I-2/MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL CITING STAFF'S MEMO DATED JULY 29, 1991. COMMISSIONER SPOTTS SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. 13. Preliminary Comments Re~ardinl the Fraternal Order of the Ealles for a Possible Expansion of Their Lodle Vice Chair Nadeau stated that he was a member of the Eagles, but felt that this was not a conflict of interest. Steve Rohlf, Building & Zoning A'dministrator, explained that no formal action would be taken on this issue as it is only a concept review. The Eagles would like to expand but are having a difficult time finding a new location. Because of this, they are looking at expanding their site. The expansion would include an addition with covered walkway for handicap access, hardsurfaced parking area and landscaping. Jerry Putnam from LHB Engineers and Architects explained their plan for the expansion of the Eagles. Their one major stumbling block would be that the site can not accommodate the amount of parking that would be required. Mr. Putlnan explained that they were proposing to get an agreement with Napa Auto Parts to share parking with them on the off hours. Eugene Nelson stated that they had a signed document from Napa Auto Parts that he was in agreement with the parking arrangement. Mr. Rohlf explained the three zoning issues that would affect this proposal if they were to expand. He also felt that parking was the most critical issue as the lot would not accommodate all the parking if they were to expand. The property would also need to be rezoned to either C-l or C-3 which can accommodate lodges. Larry Ebert of Elk River Machine felt they would not have proper drainage and all the excess water would run toward their lot. Mr. Ebert was further concerned with the cross parking agreement. He felt that this could be a real problem if the property were to be sold as the new owners might not agree to the shared parking. Steve Rohlf stated that it would have to be an agreement that is not terminable except by the City. Joint parking agreements are records that run with the land in favor of the City.
