Based on the context provided and the dialogue within the transcript, here is the formatted version with speaker names identified. **Notes on Identification:** * **Zach:** Referred to frequently as the person presenting staff reports. While not on your initial list, he is clearly the **City Planner/Staff lead** for the Planning Commission. * **The Applicant:** The speaker at [4:56] and [6:29] is the owner of **Magnolia Animal Hospital** (referencing the move from Artisan Plaza and a lease with David Olson). * **Diane Johnson:** Identified by the applicant at [5:43]. * **Brian Douglas:** Identified at [8:47] and [13:35] as the member making motions. * **Planning Commission Chair:** The individual moderating the meeting and calling for votes. *** [4:56] **Applicant (Magnolia Animal Hospital):** Just looking to kind of expand on what Zach said. We're looking at completely gutting the whole inside of it and kind of doing what we did in the Artisan Plaza and making it more hospital friendly—putting walls up, stuff like that. And so it's kind of very similar to what we did previously at the Artisan Plaza where we're at now. So that's really all I have. If you guys have any questions, you can ask me anything, it doesn't matter. But that's kind of the gist. I know Diane, you asked about parking. There is, according to the survey, there's 30 feet in front of the building. We will own stuff on the side; it is .46 acres, that lot, and most of it is off to the side where the gravel is, and then there's 30 feet in front. So at some point in time, we'll probably put stripes in the front for parking just to make it— [5:43] **Diane Johnson:** —very, you know, observant for people because there is no... it's just blacktop right now. But that's all I had. I don't know if you guys have any questions, but that's all I had. Any questions? Just wondering, do you feel this is a good—is this the one size that you were looking to get to? I don't know, I was looking at the thing where it says there's only so many dogs you're allowed to have. Is this the size? That's basically what you're bringing over from Artisan would be about the same size? [6:29] **Applicant (Magnolia Animal Hospital):** So, it's actually—square footage wise—it’s bigger. The number of pets is... we don't keep anything overnight right now, and so that was something that we were talking about doing of other avenues of different business adventures and just the animal clinic. But this building would just be the Magnolia Animal Hospital. And so 20 is—I think that's what the city is, is for 20. That's fine for right now. I shouldn't have said "for right now," but that's fine for the vet clinic. If we do something else, it'll be somewhere else. Oh, okay. So, yeah, we're actually almost doubling our square footage space for just the hospital alone. [7:15] **Diane Johnson:** And you were renting that one before, is that correct? [7:15] **Applicant (Magnolia Animal Hospital):** Correct. This was always the plan. When I signed that lease with David Olsen back when David Olsen owned it, I was upfront: this was always the plan. And our lease is up June 30th. I signed a four-year lease back in June or July 1st of 2021, and so now we're coming up to that. This has always been the plan is to build. I was planning on building a new facility, but this opportunity came, so it was one of those things where the price was better. Trying to build a brand-new clinic right now is absolutely insane for pricing. So that’s where we’re at. We’re actually doubling the space that we actually have. [7:15] **Diane Johnson:** Cool, which is a win-win. [7:15] **Applicant (Magnolia Animal Hospital):** Yep, so, yep. Any other questions? Perfect. Thanks, guys. [8:01] **Planning Commission Chair:** Thank you. And we'll ask a second time: Is there anyone who would like to speak on this issue? Final call. Anybody who would like to speak on the conditional use permit? [Pause] Not seeing anyone. Public hearing is now closed. We will move on to discussion of the conditional use permit. Do you want to say anything more, Zach, or are you done? [8:01] **Zach (City Planner):** That kind of sums it up pretty well. [8:01] **Isaac Naatz:** Our questions, comments? Sounds to me like it's a good deal for him, good deal for this town. I think it's a good move, I really do. And if he gets bigger, he'll have to move somewhere else, but that's just the way it is. [8:01] **Planning Commission Chair:** There's only one of them. [8:01] **Brian Douglas:** That's right. No, I agree. I think this makes a ton of sense. Looks good. It's already zoned that way. [8:47] **Planning Commission Chair:** Yeah, if no other discussion, is there a motion to approve the conditional use permit? [8:47] **Brian Douglas:** Motion to approve. [8:47] **Isaac Naatz:** Second. [8:47] **Planning Commission Chair:** Okay, that's moved by Douglas, seconded by Naatz. Any further discussion? All in favor? [Chorus of Ayes]. Opposed, nay? So moved. Done deal. And the next item is just discussion—the Marsh vacation. We talked about that quite a while ago, and Zach will update us. [9:32] **Zach (City Planner):** All right, so new members, bear with me because it might be a little confusing, but I'll try my best to kind of explain the series of events that have led up to today. But last year, Planning Commission and City Council vacated a portion of Stoughton Street. It was a vacation of City Right-of-Way to allow for Mr. William Marsh to be able to build a home on his lot because his current lot is super small. Upon trying to record that—because all vacations have to be recorded with Goodhue County—it was denied because the resolution had stated that the land would go to Mr. Marsh, but in reality, the northern part of the vacation would go to the County and the southern half would go to the City. So, there's nothing to vote on tonight, but I wanted to let you guys know that unless you have any problems or any things you think may be wrong, there's going to be an amended resolution that will be brought to the next Council meeting that will kind of clear things up. And then if that is approved, Mr. Marsh will still... he'll then have to either talk to the City or the County about purchasing the land, but at least that way that's an option for him. So it was already approved; it was paid for by Mr. Marsh, but we wanted to let you guys know that we're going to bring an amended resolution. If there's any questions, I'm sure there might be, I'm happy to answer. [11:03] **Isaac Naatz:** So for those who were not here, does that make any sense looking at the picture what he says? Yes. My only question I have is, is Oak Street ever going to be going all the way through to Stoughton? [11:03] **Zach (City Planner):** Never. [11:03] **Isaac Naatz:** So he's basically just going to be right there. [11:03] **Planning Commission Chair:** Okay. All right. It's downhill. [11:49] **Brian Douglas:** Yeah, I think I remember that because it is down there. I mean, I'm always fascinated when I look at the slope on that hill that they actually put the potential streets through there. I thought, "My, that's a stretch of the imagination." [11:49] **Zach (City Planner):** Right? Yeah, but they did. [11:49] **Brian Douglas:** So, and so he paid to have it vacated? [11:49] **Zach (City Planner):** He did, yeah. [11:49] **Brian Douglas:** And now he ended up owning nothing? [11:49] **Zach (City Planner):** Right. Right. So, yep. Hopefully, both the County and the City will be able to work with him on that. [12:35] **Brian Douglas:** And we've been talking for like... the County thought that... they thought that it already had been vacated. So they told us, "No, it's already been vacated." But then a lot of talk back and forth with their tax assessor, their GIS person, and we found out—we saw the old resolution from however many decades ago—that stated that it was right up to where his property was, but nothing had been vacated. So we do need approval to vacate it. But yeah, he will have to talk to the City or the County. But it was kind of discussed back in May when this was approved that the City... you know, it wasn't City land that we could get rid of it because we wouldn't ever use it or anything. [12:35] **Isaac Naatz:** So how come the County gets half of it, or the northern half? [12:35] **Zach (City Planner):** Good question. So across the street, there's a tax-forfeited parcel that the DNR actually will have some say in as well if Mr. Marsh can purchase it, but they have across the street a parcel that's with the County. So technically, they are the nearest one. [12:35] **Isaac Naatz:** Yeah, okay, yeah. I got you. Yeah, that's why. [13:20] **Planning Commission Chair:** Okay. Any other questions? And as Zach said, there's no action on our part, just update information. [13:20] **Zach (City Planner):** And if you did have something that you want to put, then I obviously I'll put in my memo that, "Hey, this is what Planning Commission said," for the City Council. [13:35] **Isaac Naatz:** So this won't come back to us? We're pretty much... this is it? [13:35] **Planning Commission Chair:** I think it's already been to the Planning Commission unless he needs a variance for the house. [13:35] **Zach (City Planner):** Yeah, right. Which, but hopefully not. [13:35] **Planning Commission Chair:** Any other items before us tonight that anybody would like to bring up? If not, motion to adjourn. Who's turn is it? [13:35] **Brian Douglas:** I'll make the motion. [13:35] **Isaac Naatz:** No, you can make the motion. [13:35] **Brian Douglas:** No, you just made the motion. Sure. Okay. [13:35] **Isaac Naatz:** Motion to adjourn. [13:35] **Brian Douglas:** Second. [14:22] **Planning Commission Chair:** Second on the end. That's a motion to adjourn. All in favor? [Chorus of Ayes]. Opposed, nay? So moved. Thank you. Awesome, we got moved.
