Art Cannonp 216 Forestview Lane, proposed that two of the four PRELIMINARY PLAT

concern is that the wetlands and wildlife living there will be CHURCH
destroyede lie also said he was concerned with obstructing the Item 7-8
view.
Director TMWO stated that the layout Will disturb the habi-
tat somewhat, but these are large lots and he doesn't believe
the four residential lots proposed by the church would adversely
impact the wetlsnd.
Director Moore stated that the proposal would not destroy the
wetlands{ the plan won't leave much of an undeveloped backyard
for the homes. There is a large drainage area north of C.R. 15
which drains through the site and there are acme problems down-
stream because the outlets have not been improved. Improvements
awe eventually needed all the way to Medicine Lake. It is pro=
posed that this area became a holding pond which will require a
structure to control the water leaving the area. The flow will
not be increased downstream but there will have to be downstream
imprty ments in the future.

QArwtor Ttsmere stated that, in 1960, the Council initiated a
change to tho toning Ordinance which deleted churches and
schools from the FRD district which is a rural designation and
doesn't have services available at this time. The proposal by
Glory of Christ Church is to amend the Zoning Ordinance to pro-
vide for churches as a conditional use in the FRD District which
would allow thew to proceed with an application for a condi-
tional use peewit and site plan proposal.
The issue is whether churches should be allowed in this zonae
Under State lea, any use allowed in a zoning district is allowed
anywhere in that district and not limited to one specific
property. The Planning Commission has recommended denial of the
request unanimously. The property is guided industrial at this
time.
Rev.J. Strohscheln, 1915 Shadyview Circle, stat., there are
thousands of peop a living to this northwest area which they
propose to serve. They do not feel a church would cause a bur-
den on the City for services. There are already 20 churches in
Plvaouth and he doesn't believe allowing a church in the FRO
would bring a rush of ether e'jrches into the area.
Dean Swanson, 18305 Highway 55, stated he has been involved in
e I&W7Fquisitlon and he would like to see this approved and
he wants to work with the City.
Keith Carothers, 615 Sycamore Lane, stated Plymouth is growinC.
rapialy and needs :his church to serve its residents.
Mayer Davenport noted that th's would set a precedent as this
area is at least 15 to 20 years from receiving sewer and water
and oe would expect petitions from other churches and uses. Now
Plymouth develops in the future depends :)n how the Council
manages growth today. The City cannot e;:courage or permit
urban development outside the lines set by the Metropolitan
Council.
Mr. Carothers asked if the problem could be solved by the church
paying to hook up to sewer and water.
Manager Willis answered that the new sanitary sewer line in the
area was installed with a special dispensation from the Metro-
politan Waste Control Commission to solve a sewage problem of
existing homes in the Schmidt Gardens plat. Ther agreement with
thew was that there would not be other urban connections to the
tine which is a force main eonstructeu to alleviate a sewage
problem in the City of Medina.
Director Moore state4 that there is no City water in this area,
only dry lines.
City Attorney Lefler stated that, under the State Planning act,
a use cannot be establlshed in a district by a variance from the
Zoning Ordinance= the ordinance must be amended.

qJ Manager Willis stated that one of his objectives this year was
to develop a policy statement for facilitating communications
amonq Councilmembers and between the Council and staff. This
proposed policy indicates ghat he will do to insure the Council
Is kept as well informed as possible. The only exception he
awkes are materials which are restricted by the Data Practices
Act. The policy also suggests that the Council should make let-
ters available to him that they may receive, for inclusion in
his informat';r., memorandum, to facilitate communications between
Councilmembers.
