1. Call to Order – the meeting began at 6:06 pm.
2. Discussion with Swanson Haskamp Consulting on the draft zoning districts section of the
Unified Development Code Project.
J. Haskamp introduced the working draft of new Section 153.200 Zoning Districts of the UDC and
the draft Zoning Map. Two new zoning districts were described – Rural Residential Neighborhood
for shoreland properties, and the Village Districts renamed by character: Historic Core, Center, and
Neighborhood. The RR-N proposes minimum existing lot sizes consistent with the MnDNR’s
minimum lot size regulations. If this change is accepted, approximately 60% of the non-conforming
lots will become conforming to the new standards.
M. Lamb identified the Village areas as described by character, using place features to assist in
developing the standards for development patterns, to be further discussed at future workshops.
Special Districts were introduced, to specify that PUD’s and Open Space Conservation PUD’s (OS-
PUD) are a rezoning as opposed to a conditional use. Haskamp recommended the existing open
space subdivisions be rezoned during the adoption of the new zoning map, so that they do not
appear to be non-conforming to the existing ordinances.
Staff will work with SHC on subdivision language pertaining to permitted encroachments into
required setbacks.
3. Adjournment – the meeting concluded at 7:38 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Brenda Eklund, City Clerk
