Planning Commission

Dec 2, 2009

The December 2 meeting of the Upsala Planning Commission was called to order at 6:05 by Dan Cheney. Also present were commission members Joan Olsen, Steve Woller and Lynda Tarbuck. Robert Maciej, Frank Koopmeiners, and a group representing St Mary’s Church were visitors.

The group representing St Mary’s Church discussed their plans for a new church on their existing lot. Since the lot is zoned R1 and churches are a conditional use, Lynda Tarbuck made a motion seconded by Joan Olsen to schedule a public hearing for a conditional use permit to be held at the January 6 planning commission meeting. Motion carried. The moving of a water line was discussed and Frank Koopmeiners was asked to get a measurement of the line for use in getting a cost estimate. A clarification on building height was also asked for.

Frank Koopmeiners provided the commission with more information about the city’s water and sewer lines in general.

A planning commission attendance chart for 2009 was presented and reviewed. Lynda Tarbuck is willing to be re-appointed to the commission for another term.

The commission was informed that the clerk issued one permit this month for shingles at 321 Borgstrom Street.

It was suggested that commission meeting dates be changed to the Wednesday before the City Council meeting and not necessarily the first Wednesday of the month. This would make it easier for some residents to meet the requirement of submitting permits to the commission.

A new address was suggested for the duplex which used to be owned by the school – since the duplex no longer has access from Main St. The new address would be 404 Borgstrom Street.

The meeting adjourned at 7:25pm.

Submitted by Dan Cheney.

Next meeting is scheduled for January 6, 2010 at 6:00pm at City Hall.
