CITY OF MEDINA PLANNING COMMISSION
Meeting Minutes
Tuesday, November 14, 2006
1. Call to Order: Chair Crosby called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m.
Present: Planning Commissioners Tom Crosby, Jeff Pederson, Doug Dickerson, Marilyn Fortin,
Sharon Johnson and Robin Reid.
Absent: Planning Commissioner Mary Verbick
Also Present: City Planner Rose Lorsung; City Planning Consultant Kendra Lindahl; Planning &
Public Works Assistant Dusty Finke
2. Public Comments: None
The general consensus of the Commission was to move to agenda item #6.
6. Rising Sun Memorial Park
Lorsung delivered the staff report on the application. She described the property (area, zoning,
guiding, Peter Lake, tree cover, slopes, wetlands). She described the concept elevation
drawings of the above -ground structures in comparison to the screening proposed by the
applicant. Lorsung reviewed the recent update to the cemetery ordinance.
Lorsung reviewed some possible issues the Planning Commission could discuss. Additional
setbacks for residential homes (100 feet on west and south) could be required, as well as
additional setbacks for Highway 55 expansion (100 feet). The city could require that lawn
sprinkling come from NURP ponds, not city water. Additionally, the Commission could discuss
further berming/screening requirements.
Lorsung stated that the level of discretion that the City has on a CUP and Site Plan are relatively
low if all ordinances are met.
Lorsung stated that there are 35 conditions suggested in the staff report if the Planning Commission
were to recommend approval.
Crosby stated that certain uses have been historically allowed in residential districts, including
churches, schools, and cemeteries. Crosby read ordinance language that stated that City Council
shall consider that the Conditional Use will not be injurious to the enjoyment of property or
substantially impair property values. He also read a clause that stated that in addition to the
conditions set forth in the cemetery ordinance, the City Council may add additional conditions
they deem reasonable to maintaining the residential character of the area.

Medina Planning Commission November 14, 2006 Meeting Minutes
Crosby stated that it looks as if the Planning Commission would hold the public hearing tonight and
hear from the applicant and a number of residents. The Commission would then continue the
discussion at the December meeting as well.
Lorsung stated that there were some apparent errors on the plan set including things with regard to
setbacks, property boundaries, location and orientation of neighboring homes, etc.
Richard Gay — Rising Sun Memorial Park — stated that they had applied in July. The application
triggered an update to the city ordinances and staff asked for more time to research and update.
The applicant reluctantly agreed to the extension. Gay stated that the submittal meets the
updated ordinance and should be approved tonight. The items that still need to be worked on
can be done so with the staff.
Gay stated that since the applicant is following the ordinance, they believe the city should as well.
They understand that there are issues that come up because of the type of application and will
work hard to approach any issues with neighboring property owners.
Gay stated that the cemetery would be non-sectarian and would be available for everyone of any
faith, which would be an asset or the city. It would be a burial location of choice for people in
the western suburbs as none in the area rise to the level of the proposal. Buildings would be
placed in areas where current barns are located. There is 25% less square footage of structures
proposed than already exist on the property. There will not be grave markers all over the site,
and there will be continual improvements to landscaping. It will be open to the public, with
trails for walking. The applicant is working with the Minnesota Land Trust to set up
conservation easements in the wooded and wetland areas.
Gay stated that a majority of the conditions in the November 7 staff report have been met. Some
were carryovers and have been addressed already. The lot lines are correct, but there are some
small items that need to be approached. Gay stated that the staff report had discussed screening,
and the landscape plan included a type of deciduous trees that would give screening 12 months a
year. Gay stated that the slope of the lot provides a layout where burial monuments would be
almost impossible to see from neighboring properties. The proposal includes only flush
monuments within 50 feet within property lines.
Public Hearing opened at 7:32 p.m.
Jack Vilski — co-owner of 3595 Pioneer Trail — stated that he had been in real estate of 30 years and
has sold 2000 homes or more. He has his name on $4 million worth of mortgages. His
experience lends him credibility. He stated that he would have never undertaken a guaranteed
buyout if he knew there would be a cemetery in the vicinity. He stated that in his 30 years of
experience, he has seen many factors impact the value of homes. However, the main is
Location, location, location. In 2002, he had a home on the market for 90 days with 70
showings and 0 offers. It was reasonably priced, but backed up to a cemetery. Vilski stated that
new state laws makes disclosure a huge issue. A seller must disclose any issue that may occur
with the property, or they are in deep trouble. He stated that Asian culture states that they
cannot be within a certain distance of cemeteries, so he must disclose that there is a proposal.

Medina Planning Commission November 14, 2006 Meeting Minutes
He inquired if we need a cemetery there; there seem to be cemeteries that aren't even filled. He
stated that people who bought property in the area bought for the land as is was, and this will
drastically impact the property values.
Crosby summarized the comment that there is a definite devaluation of property values. He stated
that he wished to make sure people knew the comment was heard and urged further speakers to
avoid a lot of repetition.
Allen Litts — 4660 Covey Trail — stated that he owned the property to the west. He objects strongly
because the proposal impacts his property enjoyment and value. His home is tilted in a way so
that the large proposed structures will be all that can be seen from the back of their home. He
stated that the burial sites are 57 feet from the home. Litts stated that the plans misrepresent the
location of their home and the distance to burial sites. The structures are larger than the current
barns, not smaller. The density is jammed within 4 '/2 acres of the 26-acre site. The people who
say that they would not mind living next to cemeteries often change their minds when they hear
about above -ground structures. The city should require water, well, water table, environmental
studies. Highway 55 is already dangerous, and this cemetery receives access from the highway.
Long processions will cause huge problems. He stated that the 100-foot setback should include
structures such as mausoleums. The change in use should trigger the office coming into
compliance with code, which would include setbacks. He stated that he also presented a letter
that and some photos
Tim Lambrecht — 4605 Wichita Trail — stated that the staff report seems to focus on the Litts'
property, but doesn't speak about properties across the lake. He stated that he meant to speak
with Lorsung about his concerns ahead of the meeting, but was not able to find the time. Their
property is across from Peter Lake from the site and the see the sunset over the lake and over the
site. He stated that hopes that the next staff report will also discuss impacts to his property and
his neighbors across the lake. Lambrecht stated that the developer stated that he would
approach concerns with the western neighbors with bushes and screening, but from the opposite
side of the lake, the property is cascading down in clear view. Lake Peter has a big issue with
water level. There was a beaver problem, and a culvert was put in to drain the lake. However,
he and his father-in-law go out to clear the culvert every four days. The DNR even issued a
permit to eliminate some of the beavers. Tom Hovey stated that they were not even aware of
the water levels. An assessment must be done because the lake is sometimes 7-feet deeper than
normal levels. He also stated that culverts are a bad idea because beavers love to dam them up.
Lorsung stated that condition #8 already states that the DNR will need to establish the Ordinary
High Water on the Lake. The DNR will be made aware of the fluctuations in the water level.
Lorsung described the site plan, showing the setback from the ordinary high water level. The
wetland setback is currently more restrictive, so if the ordinary high water mark does not change
significantly, the shoreland setback will not be overcome the wetland setback.
Fu Wong — 4600 Covey Trail — stated that they moved to Medina three years ago because of the
beauty of the open spaces in Medina. Peter Lake is a beautiful private lake and provides unique
green space and wildlife. This is the definition of open space. Wong stated that the cemetery
3
Medina Planning Commission November 14, 2006 Meeting Minutes
will have severe impacts on the Open Space elements. Additionally, he and his family are from
Chinese background. In Chinese culture, it is not acceptable to live near a cemetery. It creates
ill -harmony and residents of homes next to cemeteries will be plagued by bad fortunes for
generations to come. If this would be approved, he and his family would have really no other
choice to involuntarily move. The proposal is invasive and intrusive to his rights as a property
owner. Wong stated that their minds are constantly on the fact that if this proposal goes
forward, they will be forced to find a new place to live. It makes his property inhabitable. The
developer has stated that you cannot see into the burial areas. This may be true from the
ground, but not from the home. This is a permanent establishment that will be there forever. It
has the longest possible term impact on the property and neighboring properties.
Pat Tillman — 22410 Highway 55 — expressed concern about the proposal. He has lived at the
property to the north for 20 years. He bought because of the views over Peter Lake and the
wildlife. He stated that he asked his daughters (age 11 and 14) what they thought about seeing a
mausoleum across the street and their first words were: "ewww." They do not want to see the
cemetery; they don't want to grow up with it. Tillman stated that his home is 50 feet above the
property, no screening can block that. The future commercial use in the area could be 20 years
down the line, and until then he will live where no amount of screening will block the cemetery.
Gary Roller — representing Richard Burke (3962 Tomahawk Trail) — stated that Mr. Burke was very
opposed to the cemetery. The city is currently proposing an Open Space plan, and this property
is right in the center of it. Roller stated that this does not fit in. It is not one single issue
creating a problem. Rather there is a cumulative effect in the short term, and even greater in the
long term. Because the property is permanent, decisions must be based on the long term.
Jim Reeder — Corcoran resident — stated that while he is not adjacent to property, he stated that the
applicant letter said that the cemetery will not allow gunfire. This is offensive and a slap in the
face to veterans who have served the country. He requests that it be stricken from any proposal.
There is no logical reason to disallow gun fire. Noise is not a concern being between Highway
55 and the train tracks. Additionally, gun fire already exists during hunting season.
Public Hearing closed at 8:10 p.m.
Crosby suggested that the Commission step through the topics for discussion in the staff report.
• prohibiting use of the easement to the lake on the south side of the property
Crosby inquired to Gay if the property has any rights to the easement.
Gay replied that it did not.
Crosby stated that this is probably not an issue
• access for funeral procession being only on Highway 55 and not through the residential area
Lorsung stated that this provision was added because there was a fear expressed that the
processions would wind around Pioneer Trail so that they could turn right into the
cemetery.

Medina Planning Commission November 14, 2006 Meeting Minutes
• the proximity to the cemetery and proposed burials as they are within 50 feet of two residential
backyards (staff proposes a 100 foot setback on the north, west and south sides for burials -not
headstones but rather bodies)
Lorsung stated that there is nothing within the ordinance speaking about setbacks for burials
from residential dwellings. This provision approaches the issue.
• The future expansion of Trunk Highway 55 and the permanent land use. The requirement of
100 foot setback on the north side for burials would solve this issue.
Lorsung stated this would allow for future expansion.
• screening including a six-foot cedar fence and additional trees on the west and south side
Lorsung stated that this was discussed because of the proximity of neighbors' homes.
• proximity to the residential wells
Lorsung stated that this issue has more to do with drawdown during sprinkling than is has to
do with pollution.
• requirements for sprinkling that doesn't use city water
Lorsung stated that this provision would only take affect if and when the property is served.
• the conversion of the house to an office and the non -conforming setbacks on the west side (20)
Lorsung stated that as long as there are no additions, the structure can remain non-
conforming as far as setbacks.
• hours of operation
Lorsung stated that this should be discussed because of the residential nature of the area.
• prohibition of future crematorium
Although no crematorium is shown, it should be noted that it will not be allowed in the
future. Additionally, this site plan should be thought of as the Master Plan for the
cemetery and it should look as close to possible to what will happen in the future.
• the scattering of ashes
• density of the proposed buildings all with immediate proximity to the resident to the west's
backyard
Lorsung stated that this could be a way to approach some of the neighbor concerns.
Crosby suggested that the city should prepare a development agreement sooner rather than later.
Dickerson stated the he respects what the applicant is doing, but it seems like the wrong spot for the
cemetery. Although it is within the ordinances, it is the City's fault for not having a better
ordinance. He stated that the permanency of the use brings up legal issues. There are also
issues with safety. A few decades in the future, Highway 55 will be four lanes. 100 years from
now, it may be an interstate and the cemetery will still be there. Dickerson stated that the state
will not be able to use eminent domain to move bodies to increase the size of Highway 55.
5
Medina Planning Commission November 14, 2006 Meeting Minutes
Traffic will not be coming from Medina because there are no funeral homes. Dickerson stated
that funeral processions can be miles long. He stated that it is a concern that the land will not be
taxable. Dickerson inquired what would happen if after a number of the sites are sold they go
bankrupt...who would take over?
Johnson stated that this is a classic example of "not in my backyard." She stated that this is an
allowed use. The decision is made at a comprehensive plan level. She stated that there is no
way to guarantee everyone's complete privacy to their land. There is no way the city can make
a moral decision to not allow a use just because a bunch of people didn't like it. She stated that
unless someone can give grounds for not allowing it except that people don't like it, the city
doesn't have the right to deny it.
Crosby stated that churches are different now than traditionally. The city ordinances don't seem to
deal with the 21 st century uses of churches and cemeteries. He would like to see if the buildings
could be placed on the east of the road or towards the north of the property. This would respect
the rights of the adjacent land owners and would push it where it was less unappealing. Crosby
stated that the landscaping should be improved so that screening will be possible into the long
term. He also stated that the plans should show specifics of the parking for processions.
Fortin stated that it is a permitted use within the district. However, she agrees with the letters and
emails that the use is injurious to the enjoyment of property and the property values.
Pederson stated that he would have liked more time to work on the ordinance when it was updated.
There is an obvious effect to the neighboring property owners. He stated that access off of
Highway 55 could lead to fatalities and that there should be a right-in/right-out. He asked how
they designed a mound system if they don't know how many people will be using it.
Crosby stated that the ordinance does leave a certain amount of flexibility in the last clause.
Conditions can be added within reason to protect the neighbors.
Reid stated that this large-scale, commercial cemtery will not benefit Medina residents. The
character of this cemetery is very different than schools, churches and cemeteries. This will
diminish property values and traffic issues are a concern
Public Hearing re -opened at 8:41 p.m.
Vilski stated that the major concern with approving anything was how a use can keep going. He
also stated that a six-foot cedar fence is not a permanent fence.
Lambrecht stated that 100 vehicles would seem to fit on the private road. Cars would then try to
park on Highway 55 and in the neighborhoods in the area.
Public Hearing closed at 8:46 p.m.
Crosby stated that these are not easy decisions for the Commission or Council.

Medina Planning Commission November 14, 2006 Meeting Minutes
The Planning Commission recessed briefly from 8:47 p.m. until 8:58 p.m.
7. United Properties Ferrell Gas Redevelopment Concept Plan: 3575 Sioux Drive
Lorsung delivered the staff report. She showed the area of the concept plan and the conceptual site
plan. Drive-thrus would be for a retail site (coffee) as well as credit union. The application will
most likely need a number of variances in order to be approved. Three of these variances arise
because of the Uptown Hamel district and difficult regulations for drive-thrus. The remaining
two variances arise because of the proximity to Elm Creek.
Lorsung summarized the comments from staff. There appear to some traffic issues to address (both
internally on the site and externally). The Transportation Plan shows a frontage road going
through this site and the commercial piece to the west. The applicant's concept plan shows
these improvements being made as per the Transportation Plan. The DNR, Watershed District
and city engineers will all be looking carefully at the use of best management practices if the
city were to grant the variance for shoreland setback and impervious surfaces. There was also
discussion about the layout of the site in relation to the Uptown Hamel district and discussion
about how to make the site a gateway to Uptown Hamel.
Lorsung stated that while this is a non -binding discussion but as much direction as possible should
be given to the
Crosby stated that he believes as a concept, there is one main issue for the Planning Commission to
discuss. He inquired if a retail development with two drive-thrus is the correct use for this
property.
Pederson stated that he is owner of the property to the west. He would mainly be taking part in this
conversation as a business owner and resident instead of a Planning Commissioner. He stated
that he had met with Lorsung and the city on where the frontage road should be located. The
road should be located close to Highway 55 on the north. It should not come through the center
of existing buildings. If there is going to be road, it should be shown only on their property, not
ghost platted through neighboring buildings Additionally, there should be some berming or
screening.
Eric Simmer — United Properties — Stated that because of the proximity to Highway 55, retail with
drive-thrus make a lot of sense and would be a great asset to the city. He stated that the
Members First Credit Union is excited to move forward. Simmer stated that they were excited
to make this project a gateway to the Uptown Hamel area, a project that everyone can be proud
of He stated that if the site will be held to the 25% impervious surfaces rule, this project will
obviously be impossible, as will most commercial projects.
Tom Worst — HTG Architects — Stated that the main thing you see when you drive up is the large
retaining wall. The elevations attempt to show look similar to the retaining wall. The
landscaping and sign could all link together to make it a gateway.
Crosby inquired what the MnDOT comments were.
7
Medina Planning Commission November 14, 2006 Meeting Minutes
Lorsung stated that MnDOT had requested a traffic study, which would fit in nicely with the city's
study of its transportation plan.
Public Hearing opened 9:20 p.m.
Dan Parks — Westwood Engineering — questioned why a transportation study for MnDOT was
necessary. There is no access to the state Highway. Additionally, there is not a lot that can be
done with the results. There is limited room for expansion of Sioux Drive, and little room for a
long right -turn lane on the southbound Sioux.
Reid stated that it appears as an appropriate use of the site and a good transition into Uptown
Hamel. It appears to be a nice project for the use.
Fortin stated that it would be an asset and a good gateway to Uptown Hamel. She stated that it
seems to make sense for the coffee shop to be where the bank is located.
Simmer replied that he agreed and so would the potential coffee shop. This site plan was very
preliminary because this it is a concept plan at this point. The size and location of structures
may change in the time before the next submittal.
Crosby stated that he likes it as a land use. His concerns are with Highway 55 Rental and the
frontage road issue. He also stated that there appears to be room to locate the buildings so that
they can have two fronts and look attractive from both sides. Crosby stated that a traffic
analysis must be done to see if two drive-thrus can fit functionally in this location.
Johnson inquired about the frontage road.
Commissioners and staff discussed the frontage road location the way it was linked to the south
frontage road.
Dickerson stated that he likes the land use. He inquired about the number of drive-thrus for the
bank.
Simmer replied that there would be three lanes, an ATM lane and a drive -by.
Dickerson stated that previous drive-thrus had been denied. He inquired how this fits in with that.
Lorsung replied that the Ryan development had been a PUD, which meant that all land use
regulations were open for discussion. The decision was to restrict drive-thrus. This project
would not include a rezoning, so there is discretion on uses.
Dickerson stated that the view from the top of Hamel Road should be considered, because rooftop
equipment can be extremely ugly.
Public Hearing closed at 9:39 p.m.

Medina Planning Commission November 14, 2006 Meeting Minutes
8. Bazinet/Otten & Dalbec Preliminary Plat: 3003 & 3085 Hamel Road
Lindahl delivered the staff report. She showed the existing two lots, and how the properties would
be arranged to create a new lot to the east. All three lots are over the minimum lot size and have
the required amount of suitable soils. The third lot on the east is to be sold as a future home site.
Septic systems have a 150-foot setback from School Lake. The existing septic on Lot 2 does
not meet this setback and would be non -conforming. In the case that this septic system has to be
re -built, it would need to meet setbacks.
Lindahl stated that Hennepin County requested a 50-foot 1/2 right-of-way. In previous plats along
Hamel Road, the Council has approved 33-foot right-of-ways and this plat shows 33 feet of
right-of-way. While there are wetlands on the sites, no wetland impacts are noted.
Lindahl stated that the Park Commission will discuss this plat at a future meeting because a right-
of-way trail is shown on the Trails Plan along Hamel Road. A 15-foot trail easement along
Hamel Road would fulfill the Park Dedication requirements for the plat.
Lindahl stated that staff recommends approval of the preliminary plats subject to the proposed
conditions discussed in the staff report.
Public Hearing opened at 9:45 p.m.
Crosby stated that he has no problems, as the plat meets ordinance and requires no variances.
Dickerson inquired about the 15-foot easement on the south of Hamel Road. It is difficult to tell
which side of the road the trail would be placed.
Lorsung stated that on previous plats, a precedent has been set for acquiring trail easements on the
south side of Hamel Road.
Motion by Fortin, seconded by Pederson to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat along
with the 15 conditions noted in the staff report. Motion passes unanimously (Verbick absent).
9. Gary Kirt/Alpine Farms Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit — 2182 Homestead
Trail
Lindahl delivered the staff report. She showed the existing 72 acre lot and how the parcel would be
divided to create the additional lot to the east. Both lots meet minimum lot size and suitable
soils requirements. The proposed new lot is a flag lot with a long, narrow area for a driveway
along the southern boundary. There are large areas of wetlands and floodplains on the site and
it is in the shoreland overlay district. The submittal will need to show the creek and setbacks
from the creek, but it appears that those requirements should be easily met. No wetland fill is
proposed at this time. However, when lot 2 develops, wetland will need to be filled in order to
allow for a driveway. At that time they will need to have an approved wetland mitigation plan if
the disturbance is more than de minimus
9
Medina Planning Commission November 14, 2006 Meeting Minutes
Lindahl stated that this application will also go before the Parks Commission. Although the Trails
Plan does not show a trail at this time, a trail in this area makes a lot of sense because of the
horse uses in the area and the proximity to the County Park. A trail easement would act as the
park dedication for this plat. The applicant does have some concerns with this trail dedication.
Lindahl noted that the new lot should be rezoned because no commercial horse facility is proposed.
The Conditional Use Permit needs to be amended to note the change in legal description.
Lindahl concluded that staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat along with conditions in
the staff report. Staff also recommends approval of the rezoning from RR-2 to Rural
Residential and the amendment to the existing conditional use permit.
S. Todd Rapp — Attorney for applicant — discussed the manure management plan for the existing
commercial horse facility. Although there was some staff comment about the proximity of
manure storage to wetlands, an approved plan is in place that is designed to make water to run
250+ feet along a swale so that it can not impact the wetland.
Crosby stated that the existing horse facility, the western lot, is not necessarily part of the discussion
for this meeting.
Rapp stated that the western lot would have 18.3% impervious surfaces, meeting city requirements.
Lindahl stated that this should be noted on the plat.
Rapp stated that Mark Gronberg is of the opinion that any wetland impacts for the driveway should
be de minimus.
Crosby stated that he would be more comfortable with having a mitigation plan ahead of the
approval of the plat. If this does not happen, the city may be backed into a corner because in
three years a person could come in for a permit and demand access to their site.
Rapp stated that he had gone through the conditions for approval. He understands that conditions
will be placed on the buyer of the second lot when they come in for a building permit. The most
significant issue is the proposed trail that is sought along the County Road. This is not in any
comprehensive plan. Additionally, there is the practical constraint that there is a wetland in the
northwest corner of the property that would be impacted if there was a trail. Additionally, there
is a trail within the Park on the western side of the road already.
Public Hearing opened at 10:10 pm
Alice Flischaker — 1942 Homestead Trail — stated that she is concerned that the driveway easement
may become a public road if the second lot were ever to be divided farther. She also stated that
she is concerned how close the driveway will be located to her property.
Lorsung stated that under current ordinance there could be no more subdividing on this second lot.
10
Medina Planning Commission November 14, 2006 Meeting Minutes
Reid stated that this location is significant because of the views. Hopefully the horse facility will be
is existence for many years to come. Otherwise, there do not seem to be any issues.
Pederson stated that his only concern was the wetland mitigation issue.
Fortin stated that she has no issues except for the driveway. She stated that she is a little shaky on
leaving the issue for the future.
Crosby stated he believed the wetland/driveway issue should be approached now.
Johnson stated that she thought the city did not want flag lots because they cause troubles.
Commissioners replied that flag lots were added to the ordinance as an alternative to narrow lots.
Dickerson agreed with Crosby that the wetland mitigation issue should be taken care of at this time.
Rapp stated that the conditions of approval as proposed already state that if the wetland impacts are
more than de minimus, the mitigation must be completed. He suggested an easy fix would be to
put the requirement against the deed.
Public Hearing Closed at 10:25 p.m.
Motion by Crosby, seconded by Johnson to recommend approval of the preliminary plat subject
to the 20 conditions noted in the staff report, along with an additional condition that language is
added to take care of the wetland mitigation issue. Motion passes unanimously (Verbick
absent).
Motion by Fortin, seconded by Dickerson to recommend rezoning Lot 2 to Rural Residential.
Motion passes unanimously (Verbick absent).
Motion by Reid, seconded by Johnson to recommend approval of the amendment to the existing
Conditional Use Permit reducing the acreage and changing the legal description. Motion
passes unanimously (Verbick absent).
The general consensus of the Commission was to move back to agenda item #3.
3. Update from City Council Proceedings
Lorsung stated that the High Pointe Ridge Final Plat was approved. She also noted that the Council
discussed a petition disallow truck traffic on Willow Drive. The Council directed staff to study
the matter further. The Council also discussed resident traffic concerns on CR 116.

Medina Planning Commission November 14, 2006 Meeting Minutes
4. City Planner's Report
Lorsung stated that the following applications will most likely appear on the December Planning
Commission: Rising Sun Cemetery (continued), Ryan Companies Retail Site (PUD
Amendment, Plat withdrawn), Bancor Comprehensive Plan Amendment, and 2 CUPs in the
Rural Residential for accessory structures over 3000 sq. ft.
5. Approval of October 10, 2006 Planning Commission Minutes
Motion by Fortin, seconded by Reid to approve the October 10, 2006 Planning Commission
Minutes as amended. Motion passes unanimously (Verbick absent).
10. Adjourn: Motion by Reid, seconded by Dickerson to adjourn at 10:40 p.m. Motion passes
unanimously (Verbick absent).
