DATE:
October 21, 1996
SUBJECT:
Rezoning of the Northeast Corner of
Highway 10 and 165th and Ordinance
.Amendment for Recycling Centers in
the Commercial District
At the direction of the City Council, staff has begun the process of amending
the land use plan map and rezoning the property at the northeast corner of
Highway 10 and 165th Avenue (Recycling Center) from I-1 (Light Industrial)
to C3 (Highway Business). These two applications are in part the property
owner's request to consider allowing a prospective tenant to operate from his
building that is not currently allowed in the light industrial zoning district.
Recently staff has received a letter from the landowner (Mr. Dick Hetland),
requesting that the rezoning be withdrawn, as the property owner has
received interest from other tenants that have businesses suitable for the
present zoning of light industrial.
In addition to the rezoning, an ordinance amendment was also requested to
move forward, redefining recycling centers and allowing this business in the
commercial zoning district. In light of the property owner's request to
withdraw the rezoning, staff felt it would be appropriate at this time to also
delay action on any ordinance amendment that is not necessary for the
businesses to operate at this specific location.
Recommendation
Staff wanted to update the Council on this issue and receive direction if the
Council would still want to proceed forward with the rezoning and ordinance
amendment or concur with the property owner's request to defer action on
these two applications at this time.

Re:
Zoning change

This letter is to request holding a zoning change on above property.
We have interested tenants with businesses that are suitable for the
present zoning of Light Industrial. We fee! that a zoning change would
not be beneficial to us or the Elk River community.
Thank you for your consideration of this request,
Dick Hetland, owner
