p Planning Commission Minutes April 26, 1983 Page Seven Discussion was held concerning keeping the drainfield far enough away from the bank so it doesn't leak over the edge. Rick Breezee indicated that if the variance was approved, he would like to recom- mend that it be included in the motion that the installation of the drainfield would be done under the supervision of Darrell Mack, the Elk River Sewer Superin- tendent. Commissioner Hartman indicated that it was stated in Rick Breezee's memo that Darrell Mack felt very confident that a system could be done with no problems re- lating to contamination of either the lake or Mr. Mikol's neighbors. Chairman Tracy stated that his only concern was that the construction be super- vised. Rick Breezee indicated that Mr. Mikols had agreed to this. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HARTMAN, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WILLE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST BY MR. TONY MIKOLS WITH THE STIPULATION THAT THE ELK RIVER SEWER SUPERINTENDENT CLOSELY MONITOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE DRAINFIELD AND THAT PER- IODIC WATER SAMPLE CHECKS BE DONE. THE MOTION PASSED 6-0. 012. Adopting New Land Use and Zoning Map Amendment Mr. Zack Johnson was present for this item. Mr. Johnson pointed out and explained the recommended revisions on the land use and zoning map. Rick Breezee indicated that he felt the people should be heard if they have anything to say regarding the recommended changes on the land use and zoning map. Mr. and Mrs. Schuur own property along Meadowvale Road, north of the railroad tracks. The land is currently zoned light industrial. The recommended change is to move the line to the east so it would become low density/residential or R-la. Mr. and Mrs. Schuur were questioning if they could put up a pole barn. Rick Breezee explained that if the recommended changes on the zoning map were passed, they would be able to put up the pole barn; if, however, it was not passed, or the Schuur's wished to put up the building before it was passed, they would have to apply for a variance or an individual zone change request. Mr. Don Schumacher of Cretex Company was present for this request. Mr. Schumacher ex- plained that the property along Upland is owned by Cretex, with the exception of the corner lot. The property is currently zoned I-I and the recommended change is to R-3. Mr. Schumacher indicated that when Cretex bought the property, they bought it for industrial use and he thought it was unfair that the zone be changed. o Jim Neilson, an attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Kirkeide, was present for this request. Mr. Neilson explained that Mr. and Mrs. Kirkeide's property is the extension of l73rd in a westerly direction, and is shown in a floodplain area, and comprises 4.7 acres. He indicated that Mr. and Mrs. Kirkeide brought a petition to the Planning Commission on September 28, 1981 to change the zoning from C-3 to A-I
