ZON ING
7700 OLSON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY - Phitip Krelitz
Zoning Committee Chairman Paul Velz gave the fol1owing report :
�'Mr . Krelitz is requesting rezoning from residential to com-
mercial category - seven tots (7 thru 14) on the West side
of Rhode Istand Ave. in Cottage Grove Addition. This pro-
perty lies immediately East of the Commercial zone which
includes Red Owl and Warner Hardware.
Mr . Krelitz proposes to construct a building approximately
70 ft . by 107 ft . which would be an extension from the
present Warner Hardware building. This addition would be
divided into four 20-ft . store areas fronting East and one
30-ft. store fronting South and East . In addition, he
proposes a medical clinic bui1ding approximately 60 feet by
139 feet on the North end of the lots to be rezoned, and
`.�'�t ,

ZONING (continued)
the remaining area would be used for parking out to Rhode
Island.
Mr. Krelitz was present at the Zoning Corrnnittee meeting and
presented the proposal described above. The Committee
pointed out several things which were in conflict with the
Zoning Code as follows:
The medical building and all parking would have to be set
back 75 feet from Rhode Island Ave. , and this setback would
have to be landscaped as long as the property East of Rhode
Island is residential . On the North a 50 foot setback would
be required. Consequently, the medical clinic could not be
constructed as indicated, and about 3/4 of the proposed
parking spaces would be eliminated. Therefore, the proposal
does not and could not conform to the requirements of the
ordinance. The Committee was also concerned about establish-
ing a buiiding setback line on the West side of Rhode Island.
These setback requirements were recently adopted by the
Viilage to encourage the development of buffer zones between
different tand uses. This is a good example of how they
discourage creeping commercialism and encourage larger
devetopments with broad enough scope to provide transitions
between zones of heavy and light use.
The Corrnnittee pointed out to Mr . Kretitz the recent report
of the Long Range Committee (Aug. 16, 19b2 ) which set forth
a broad plan for the coordinated development of the entire
area between the Commercial area West ofi Rhode Island and
the residential development along Ketly Drive. The Zoning
Committee is of the opinion that this broad ptan is correct
from a planning viewpoint and witl result in the best
devetopment of the area for the Viltage as a whole.
Because the proposed development does not meet the require-
ments of the Village Zoning Code, and because it is so
limited in scope as to be contrary to the Commission' s
- recommended plan of coordinated development for the entire
area, the Zoning Committee recommends denial of the request .
(One Committee member voted against denying the request ) ."'
The Go�anission then deferred this request to Qec�mber 13th.
REQUEST FOR PET HOSPITAL IN COMMERCIAL ZONE - Dr . R . Rainors
Zoning Committee Chai�man Velz gave the fotlowing report :
'�Dr . Rainors appeared before the Zoning Committee to request
permission to establish a pet hospital in the commercial
zone East of the Golden Valley Lanes bowting alley. He
described his proposed building as one which would be of
first class construction, soundproof and containing the

latest modern equipment for the treatment of pets. He in-
dicated fihat there would be no outside runs or pens, and
that he had no ptans to board pets other than as required
for treatment .
The Committee discussed this type of business as canpared
to other commercial business and concluded that an opera-
tion such as proposed by Dr. Rainors might well fit into
a Commerciat Zone. Therefore, the Zoning Committee
recommends adding the following described use to the
Commercial Zone:
'Animal hospitals where domestic animals are
received for treatment, care and cure, by a
du1y licensed vefierinary physician and
surgeon in the customary and ordinary pur-
suit of his profession, provided that no
outdoor pens, runs or kennels are allowed. '
The Committee atso recommends that either the Zoning Code
or Building Code be modified to require pet hospital
buildings be soundproof.��
i�r . Rainors was present and answered questions the Commission had
regarding his proposal .
Motion by Jensen, seconded by Raugland that the Planning Commission
accept the committee report and recommend to the Council that the
Zoning Code be, changed to altow Pet Hospitats in a Commercia1 Zone.
M�ation unanimously carried.

from Open pevelopment to Commercial . This parcel is tocated
in the Northeast corner of the presently zoned commercial
property at Trunk Highway No. 100 and County Road No. 66, and

Ordinance Committee Chairman Bromschwig gave the foltowing report :
� "Request is for a waiver of Sec. 3 . 11 (setback from alt
streets)
Applicant proposes building a home facing Spruce Trail
(East) . Propos�d buitding is 80 feet wide which puts it
6 feet in violation of the 35 foot setback requirement
on the North.
The Committee took into consideration that the tot was
other than square or rectangular and was bounded by
streets on three sides. The Committee also noted that
the house in reality is too big for the site and was not
designed to fit the lot incorporating the required set-
backs. In view of the foregoing, a motion was made to
apprave the request for a 6 foot waiver. Said motion was
not unanimous, being approved by a vote of 3 for and 2
against . The Committee therefore recorr�nends approval ,"
