Zoning Ordinance - comments by Chairman Lindquist
Follow acceptance of comprehensive plan, zoning is natural sequence
to follow.
Primary meed examplified by past examples; bony shop in residential
area, machine shop in res. area; small lot purchase for bldg. Trailer
purchase to put on restricted lot location. (Existing ordinance governs.)
Second point - there is so much public apathy toward zoning so
zoning developed along model zoning ordinance lines for lack of public
interest at meetings. Chairman Lindquist demonstrated by zoning map
locating existing use and wide areas to west showing lack of definitive
zoning because nothing indicated by present use so cri.tism is unwarranted
that whole area is not detailed. Planning Commission members did not
feel any hard lines are being laid down and are not subject to change a
development warrants,
Chairman discussed lot sizes and effect of smaller existing lots such
as 50 x 100 of original plats. It was the feeling of Commission that Lots
should be larger as required by loaning agencies and FHA, etc. Council
could alter restrictions to smaller lots for -1 classification if enough
felt this was required. Mention was made of protection of everyone's rights,
not solely one individual's rights. Comment was made on need of communication
of conditions that effect problems of people who own 50 x 1.00 lots and
protection afforded them. Also Pointed out existing small business in
residential areas are not required to give up business. Mrs. Woj

Pederson Plat
Submitted to Planning Commission by City Council on last meeting.
Council asked for easement around Cul de Sac for uns tipulated future
use. Bob Johnson objected to two small lots and the stigma attached of
accepting a plat that violated proposed subdivision and zoning ordinance.
Jeff Pederson defended his position on lot size and objected to public
critic .sm. Lot 7 has a house on it this is why lots were so divided.
This made Lot 8 also small. Plat was approved by Planning Commission
with stipulation that Commission recognizes that Lot 7 and 8 are smaller
than proposed ordinance provides for in R,-3 but necessary because of the
configuration of Plat and further recommend that this plat be zoned -
n official zoning map to more nearly conform to class of residence.
Seconded by Fred Lester; motion carried - 2 abstentions

Planning Commission mored unanimously to vacate after lengthy
discussion on location, possible affect on arterials, and relationship
to the topography of the area.
