Members present: Hub Klein, Ben Kremer, Phil Durkee, Art Budde, S. Kathleen
Kalinowski
Others present: Ross Rieke, Harvey Schmitt, John Korngiebel, Wilber Wilkins,
Dale Haug, Dale Salo, Sy Theisen
Ben óalled the meeting to order at 7:40 p.m.
Harvey Schmitt and John Korngiebel inquired about variance proc.edures for
building a 16-uni t elderly complex\. SQu.th of Kennedy Elementary School on
land currently owned by the Convent. The units are one-bedroom, 630 square
feet units; the building would be a frame structure with brick facing. The
land parcel was inadvertently zoned public because of its juxtaposition with
Kennedy. A rezoning hearing would need to be scheduled to rezone the parcel
R-3. The 16-unit dwelling exceeds the maximum dwelling size of 12 units
specified in the city zoning ordinance. Thus, a variance must also be sought.
Wilber Wilkins and Dale Haug presented a request by Resurrection Lutheran
Church for city annexation of a land parcel in the township consisting of
the trianglar section between Co. 2 and old Co. 2 north of the railroad
tracks. A 7200 square foot church will be built on the site. The parcel
is designated PURD (Planned Unit Residential Development) in the Compre-
hensive Plan '.d would be zoned as R-1. Art moved to recommend to the City
Council that the section described be annexed by the City. The motion was
seconded and passed unanimously.
Dale Salo presented a request for annexation of Outlot A southeast of the
City and its zoning specified as R-1 (single family housing). Mr. Salo
would be the developer of the addition. The land, currently in the i;'ownship,
is designated PURD (Planned Unit Residential Development) in the Compre-
hensive Plan, and can be developed as a traditional single~family residential
area at the developer's discretion. Water and sewer services for the area
appear to be adequate. Art moved to recommend to the City Council that
Outlot A be annexed by the City. The motion was seconded and passed un-
animously. The Commission also observed that if the annexation is approved,
the City Council might want to inquired whether the current residents along
S.E. 7th ave. on the east side of 7th ave. would also desire to be annexed
at the same time.
Sy Theisen inquired about procedures for requesting a variance to the number
of unrelated persons who could rent his home during a nine-month period of
time when he and his wife will be in Europe. He will apply for a variance.
The Minutes from February 3 were read and approved.
