(2015098) ApprovedPlanning Commission Minutes December 2, 2015 Page 2 Chair Davis introduced the request by Southshore, LLC for a preliminary plat and impervious surface coverage variance for "Southshore Addition" located at 9905 13th Avenue. Senior Planner Darling gave an overview of the staff report. Commissioner Anderson asked if the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) had reviewed the impervious surface variance. Senior Planner Darling responded that the ordinance and state rules require that the city forward such a request to the DNR for comment. She noted that the DNR does not have to comment and in this case, did not. Senior Planner Darling confirmed that no comment means the DNR does not have any concerns about the request. Chair Davis introduced Paul Gonyea, representing the applicant, who stated that he owns the two buildings on the site with his brother, Dave Gonyea. He stated financing and estate planning are the chief reasons for the plat. He also noted it would be easier to have each building on its own lot if someone wanted to buy one of the buildings in the future. He did state that he is a long term holder of industrial properties and emphasized his intent to hold this property over the long term. Chair Davis opened the public hearing and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak on the item. MOTION by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Goldetsky, to recommend approval of the request by Southshore, LLC for a preliminary plat and impervious surface coverage variance for "Southshore Addition" located at 9905 13th Avenue.
