.. ... ,~ ~,. . . . MINUTES FOR ELK RIVER PLANNING COMMISSION Individuals Usually Attending: Dan Bailey Al Bailey Le s Derr Dick Gongoll Hilmer Bartelt John MacGibbon Paul Siegler Meeting: November 4, 1966 In Attendance: Dan Bailey Al Bailey Hilmer Bm-telt Dick Gongoll John MacGibbon Paul Siegler Also JimKnight from the Planning Consultants We reviewed a propo sal for a change of zoning on Highwa y # 169 and Main Street. The planner feels the use of property should be restricted to highway related business. There was discussion of the possibility of changing the zoning ordinance to require comprehensive plot plan as part of special use permit. Planner does not recommend strict commercial development which is essentially what is being asked for in the petition. On the subject of proposed change in zoning of area at Northeast corner of Highway #169 and Main Street from part multiple dwelling and part single family residents to an R -C district. There are the following considerations: 1. A change of zoning does not guarantee the development of any additional businesses. 2. The planning firm retained by the village does not recommend strict commerical development along the highway. This essentially the plan now under consideration. 3. The planning commission is not negative to the zoning change in this area but feels more control should be built in to any change. 4. To further this idea, the commission proposes to work out language for an ordinance change which would allow tying a comprehensive plot plan for a general development plan to such a zoning change. The village council recently referred a zoning change request to the planning commission.
