PUBLIC HEARINGS : ( Cont ' d. ) E. 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 303 (Cont ' d. ) Mr. Hob Kruell asked if this proposal applied to specific pieces of land. Perbix replied - "no" . Mr. Kruhl said he was worried about this affecting present plans and if cil:izens would still receive notices about proposed zoning changes . Perbix - will not affect present plans and citizens will still receive notices. Mr. Kruhl stated it seemed the "professional" types were for the change and "citizen-types" like us were against the amendment. Mr. Perbix explained that PUD ' s are not understood by a number of people and that they are treated differently in different communities. Council has been very careful on zoning to observe procedural requirements . Zoning creates some status and PUD' s are given only when rules are adequately defined. Also, gives more legal status- by Ordinance than a Resolution. City Manager Ulstad explained his definition of PUD' s and referred to "contract zoning" . Stated there are really two stages - concept approval and development approval. 01 Mr. Don Hess of The Preserve - what Ulstad says makes a lot of sense . There are two stages - concept approval and development approval. Everyone has so many different views of this area and time comes along when we may be getting in situations where land cannot be sold because of the time element in getting approval. j Mr. Kruhl stated he thought ,present method working very well, particularily in one area. Putnam replied it worked very well in that area because developer cooperated, however, need procedures formalized so all developers would cooperate even if they didn't want to. Stated we need to update what we have in Eden Prairie to accommodate needs for urban city. Kruhl - leaves us with some help with our concerns. Putnam- should be stated what procedures are at beginning. We do it now in operating procedures, but it is not part of the Ordinance and it is chaos to explain what we are doing. Mr. James Brown - going back to Comprehensive Guide Plan, PUD was unheard of when brought in by Brauer. They have to come in with something, but have nothing to work with when they have no set zoning. Need a legitimate zone to recognize what is now up in limbo . Still have to get final approval in the end. You can take this into a bank, HUD, etc . and they will recognize it. 1-Unutes -6- April 1, 1975 III .
