CALL TO ORDER - 7:00 P.M. 2. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 3. PUBLIC FORUM 4. APPROVAL OF AGENDA MOTION by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to approve the May 20, 2009 Planning Commission Agenda. Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION approved. 5. CONSENT AGENDA A. APPROVAL OF THE MAY 6, 2009 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MOTION by Commissioner Jaffoni, seconded by Commissioner Kobussen, to approve the May 6, 2009 Planning Commission Minutes. Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION approved. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. CYNTHIA AND MATTHEW MELIN (2009010) Chair Davis introduced the request by Cynthia and Matthew Melin for a conditional use permit to construct an eight foot fence along the southern border of the property located at 18415 11th Avenue North. Senior Planner Darling gave an overview of the staff report. Senior Planner Darling shared a letter received from Richard and Susan Deal, 18420 9` Avenue N., in support of the fence project. Commissioner Anderson asked if the new fence would be located exactly where the existing chain link fence is. Page 11 Approved Planning Commission Minutes May 20, 2009 Page 2 Senior Planner Darling said that is just at the peak of hill and then the grade starts dropping. That would be the highest point on the property line. Commissioner Anderson asked if there would be any effect on the trees. Senior Planner Darling stated the trees would not be affected. Commissioner Kobussen said the current chain link fence is tied in the property line at the west end. He asked if the proposed fence would be placed where it is now or run along the property line to tie in with the other neighbor's fence. Senior Planner Darling said the applicant wants to put it on the rear property line. Chair Davis introduced the applicant, Cindy Melia, 18415 11`h Avenue N. Ms. Melin said she was not aware the chain link was not entirely on the property line and added that it was there when they moved in 12 years ago. Ms. Melin said she has talked with the Deals, the neighbors behind them. She said they have to put in a fence and want it to tie into their fence. Ms. Melin said it would connect in all corners and the wood fence would meet the chain link on either side. Commissioner Anderson noted the chain link that the Deals put up around their pool is two sides, and the wood fence is one side. Ms. Melin said their fence will be on the south side property line. She said the Deals' property line is only halfway across theirs, so it made more sense for them to put in the fence to be consistent across the back property line. Chair Davis clarified that only the back fence is being replaced, and chain link would remain on two sides. Ms. Melin said that is correct and that there are lots of bushes concealing the chain link. She added that no one but them and the Deals will see this fence. Chair Davis opened the public hearing and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the item. Commissioner Kobussen said he is concerned that the two neighboring fences all tie together. If the Melin's place the new fence in the same place as their existing fence, there would be a six- foot jog in the fence. Commissioner Nelson said if a neighbor wants to tie into the Melin's fence, they would have to place the fence on the property line. Commissioner Anderson pointed out the east end of the existing fence is six feet closer to the house and said he wants the proposed wood fence on the property line. Page 12 Approved Planning Commission Minutes May 20, 2009 Page 3 Ms. Melin stated it will be on the property line Chair Davis said he will approve this request as there is no reason not to, and the neighbor approves. Commissioner Anderson said he concurred, but wants a condition added that the fence be located on the property line. The current fence is six feet short of the property line and the wooden fence will function as a back yard, creating an "easement." He said now the Melin's fence is responsible for keeping people out of their pool. Commissioner Anderson said issues could come up. MOTION by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Nelson, to approve the request by Cynthia and Matthew Melin for a conditional use permit to construct an eight foot fence along the southern border of the property located at 18415 11th Avenue North, with a condition that the fence be placed on the property line. Commissioner Aamoth asked of a site visit would be required if this condition is added. Senior Planner Darling said that condition has already been added requiring the property line to be staked and strung prior to a footing inspection. Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION approved 7. NEW BUSINESS A. CANCEL THE JUNE 3, 2009 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MOTION by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Kobussen, to cancel the June 3, 2009 Planning Commission Meeting. Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION approved. 8. ADJOURNMENT MOTION by Chair Davis, without objection, to adjourn the meeting at 7:21 p.m. Page 13 pyyMOUTk NNESOTA FIRE -RESCUE PLYMOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENT 3400 Plymouth Boulevard Plymouth, Minnesota 55447 FIRE -RESCUE INCIDENT OF INTEREST DATE: July 1, 2009 TIME: 11:04 a.m. ADDRESS: 4930 Pineview Lane DETAILS: The Department responded to a reported house fire.

Page 16 Email 7/4/09 Thank you Kelli, We experienced a house fire on July 1st. The Plymouth Fire Dept did a great job saving my home. Although the house sustained heavy smoke and water damage, it could have been much worse. The house will need to be gutted and my family will be displaced for several months, but most of mementos and possessions were spared, thanks to the great job of the Fire Dept. The Asst Fire Chief, Kip was on scene and was very gracious and concerned, he even got the boarding up process handled for us. Our Council Woman Ginny Black heard of the happenings and took time out her day to come and offer support as well. She was great with my wife and family. Even the City Manager, Lori Ahrens called within an hour of the 911 call offering any help we might need. How great is that? Although the reality of the situation is starting to set in and we have a long road ahead of us, we are grateful for the support of our friends, neighbors and the City. Please pass on our gratitude, thanks. John Vecere and Family. Page 17 City of Plymouth Adding Quality to Life July 10, 2009 SUBJECT: REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR GONYEA COMPANY, INC.
