MINUTES OF THE ST. JOSEPH PLANNING COMMISSION
September 12, 1988
Members present: S. Kathleen Kalinowski, Art Budde, Ben Kremer, Phil
Durkee
Others present: Ross Rieke (Council laison)
Ben called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m.
A discussion centered around Joe Bettendorf's letter from March
recommending that the Planning Commission consider increasing the
minimum frontage on new lots to 80 feet, expanding the minimum lot size
when utility easements run across it, and enlarging the minimum lot size
beyond 10,000 ,quare feet.
S. Kathleen moved to recommend to the Council that the Zoning Ordinance
be amended so that the minimum lot width equal 80 feet. This entails
the following changes:
1) p. 125, Subd. 5: change paragraph c) to read: "Minimum width of
80 feet and an average depth of not less than 110 feet."
2) p. 129, Subd. 5: change paragraph e) to read: "minimum width
of 80 feet."
3) p. 132, Subd. 5: change paragraph e) to read: "Each 1 ot sha 11
have a minimum width of 80 feet at the public right-of-way."
4) p. 168, Subd. 4: change paragraph a) so that the numbers in the
first sentence are 80 feet instead of 65 feet.
The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Easements on new lots did not seem to be a problem since they are
usually placed on the edge of new lots. To enlarge the minimum lot size
from 10,000 square feet did not seem needed to the Commission at present
since most new lots being platted are larger than that.
The Minutes from August 1 were read and approved.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
