City Council Minutes -3- September 7, 1982
Howard Kyllo, representing the developer, BFK, was present as was
James Hill , architect for the developer, who addressed the proposal .
Director of Planning Enger stated the proposal had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its August 9, 1982 , meeting at which time it
voted to recommend approval subject to the recommendations contained in
the Staff Report of August 5, 1982.
Director of Community Services Lambert noted the Parks , Recreation &
Natural Resources Commission had reviewed the proposal at its August
16 , 1982 meeting at which time it recommended approval subject to the
recommendations included in the Staff Report and with the addition
of a trail connection. The Commission also recommended there be a
future trail on the east side of Baker Road. Lambert noted the best
location for a trail along Valley View Road would be on the south
side.
Penzel asked if the City would have an easement to connect to the south-
east. Lambert stated the City would ;;:r^ "Outlet A" which would take care
of that.
Redpath noted the number of single family lots available in the City and
asked why this site was chosen for development. Hill said the Cardinal
Creek development to the north had proven to be very successful and the
developers of this property decided to come forth with their proposal
largely due to the success of adjacent property. Hill said they hope to
market both the single-family and townhomes at the same time.
{ Jerrold T. Miller, 7120 Gerard Drive, had a question regarding the eastern-
- boundary of the project -- his concern centered largely on the hill on the
property line. Hill said they have submitted a grading plan for the area.
It is the developers' intention to maintain the slopes. Enger said the ex-
isting 2: 1 slopes would remain.
Bentley expressed concern about the problem of marketability of the south-
western single-family lots which back up to the townhouses. Hill noted
that the Walden townhomes subdivision in Burnsville which he was involved
with was done in this manner and there were no problems in marketing either
the single-family or the townhomes.
Miller said he would hope the trees would not be removed -- this is largely
dependent on the machine operators . Penzel said the City would require
staking and snow fencing in areas not to be touched.
110TION: Bentley moved , seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution No. ,82-211 , approving the Arbor Glen Planned Unit
Development and amending the Guide Plan. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved , seconded by Redpath, to give 1st Reading to Ordinance
No. 2-82, rezoning from Rural to R1-13.5 for 24 acres and from Rural to RM
6. 5 for 8 acres. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to instruct Staff to draft the
Developer' s Agreement including the recommendations contained in the August
_ -. -
City Council Minutes -4- September 7, 1982
5, 1982, Staff Report; staking and snow-fencing the areas not to be dis-
turbed during grading; and the road to be constructed as one project.
CMotion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Tangen, to adopt Resolution No. 82-212,
approving the preliminary plat of Arbor Glen. Motion carried unanimously.
B. NORSEMAN INDUSTRIAL PARK 5th ADDITION by He rleiv Helle. Request for rezoning 1
2 acres from Rural to I-2 Park and preliminary plat approval. Located south
of West 74th Street extended. (Ordinance No. 3-82 - rezoning and Resolution
No. 82-213 - preliminary plat)
Herleiv Helle was present and spoke to the rezoning and preliminary plat
requests .
Director of Planning Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed the
requests at its August 9, 1932 , meeting at which time it recommended approval
subject to the Staff Report of August 4, 1982. The Commission also recommen-
ded that prior to further platting in this industrial park the owner be
required to update the concept plan of the proposed development and road
alignment. This recommendation came from a discussion as to the need to
connect West 74th Street westerly and then northerly to Valley View Road.
There was no report from the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commis-
sion.
Bentley asked how many parcels are left to be developed. Helle said there
are 30.6 acres undeveloped. Bentley asked why there is no PUD for the pro-
ject. Helle said since the zoning is all the same it was his understanding
a PUD was not necessary. Bentley said he would like to see what Helle has
in mind for the rest of the site -- a concept plan.
Helle said he felt the road connection recommended by the Planning Commis-
sion is in his interest because he needs it to market the project.
MOTION: Edstrom moved seconded by Bentley, to close the Public Hearing and
to give Ist Reading to Ordinance No. 3-82, rezoning 2 acres from Rural to
I-2 Park. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Tangen, to- adopt Resolution No. 82-213,

Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Redpath , to instruct Staff to draft a
Developer' s Agreement taking into consideration the recommendations included
in the Staff Report of August 4, 1982; noting no further zonings will be con-
sidered unless a plan for the remaining land is presented; and other recommen-
dations of the Commission as noted here this evening. Motion carried unanimously.

Frank J. Smetana , 7722 Smetana Lane, referred to a petition of August
12, 1982, which had been submitted to the City regarding the non-residential
use of Smetana Lane. Smetana spoke to the reasons the residents do not
wish to have trucks on their street and gave a brief history as to how this
came about.
Penzel asked City Manager Jullie if there had been a permit issued for the
crossing of the creek and the grading work. Jullie said the upgrading was
minor and was over an existing crossing. The watershed district was asked
to look at this and concurred with the City.
Don Sorensen, attorney for Smetana , stated that Pearson had violated
Ordinance #103. He gave additional background information on the issue.
Redpath suggested Pearson and Helle get together to discuss a north/south
road through their properties to Valley View Road.
Jullie said he had spoken with Pearson on Friday and he had agreed to
have no trucks travel on Smetana Lane prior to 9 a .m. He had also said
he would be willing to work with the City to find a location for a turn-
around at the end of Smetana Lane so that school buses could go to the
end of the road to pick up children. Jullie, Pearson, and school repre-
