18. 2018 Planning Commission

19. Background The Planning Commission provides assistance to the City Council in the administration of City of Zumbrota Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances through reviews, public hearings, and recommendations to the Council on all applications.

20. Land Use Issues

21. Variances & Permits/Plats • Variance • A variation in provisions occurs when strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would cause a practical difficulty, due to the specific circumstances relating to the specific lot. • The Community Development Director administers the process for variance application and brings items forward for review. • Platting or subdivision of land • No new plats approved in 2018.

22. Variances & Permits/Plats (continued) • The city also provides for the further splitting of platted lots through minor subdivision. • Mr. Lynn Urban – 468 E 4th St • Applied for a minor subdivision to split off a 20’x120’ (2,400-square-foot) strip from his parcel. The intent is to sell the residual property to his neighbor, Robert Goad, who is currently encroaching four feet onto Mr. Urban’s property. • Golf Course • Kevin Kish would like to purchase the split with the understanding that there will be limited easement to Golf Club and a deed restriction tying two lots together. • Midwest livestock Supply • Requested a lot combination of a minor subdivision of a five-acre parcel of land to contract a building to inventory materials and service vehicles. • Status pending for 2019

23. Variances & Permits/Plats (continued) • Dion Peters – Lot 1, Block 4 (Jacobson Commercial Park) • Minor subdivision completed • Sold one lot, continues to develop others • Judy Lang – developer of Trelstad Estates Second Addition residential subdivision • Addressed the board to request to modify several remaining lots • The proposed changes are to combine lots to address development limitations from an Xcel Energy utility easement and geography, specifically steel poles.

24. Conditional Use Permit (CUP) or Interim Use Permit (IUP) • One CUP proposed in 2018 • In order to accommodate the requested changed for the Trelstad Estate Lot Combination minor subdivision, the CUP needs to be modified by the City Council. Goodhue County Recorders Office can then administratively combine the lots.

25. Annexation & Zoning Ordinance/Strategic Planning • In 2018, the City received and approved a petition to annex approximately 25 acres of parcel adjacent to the city limits, west of Hwy 52 and south of CR 168. • No amendments to the Zoning Code in 2018 • Members reviewed the definitions of manufactured and modular homes in the Zoning Code, acceptable land uses in the C2 Highway Commercial Zoning District, and setbacks for accessory structures
