City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been published
and property owners within the project vicinity had been notified.
Tangen said he felt a time limit on the presentation of this proposal
should be established. He was concerned because this is a large project
and others in the audience should not have to wait an unreasonable amount
of time for other items to be heard by the Council . Bentley said he would
not like to see a time limit placed on the hearing.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Anderson, to consider this item until
9 p.m. The motion was defeated by a vote of 2 - 3.
Bob Mason, developer, gave some background on the proposal as well as on
Mason Horn3s, Inc. He introduced Dick Putnam of Tandem Corporation, planner
for the project, and Randy Trevalia of Mason Homes .
Dick Putnam spoke to the proposal and presented slides depicting the character
of the land on a site by site basis .
i
City Council Minutes -4- February 15, 1983
Director of Planning Enger stated the Planning Commission had reviewed this
project at four different meetings (October 12, 1982, November 8, 1982,
January 10, 1983, and January 24, 1983. ) At the January loth meeting recom-
mendations regarding the major part of the project were made; at the Jan-
uary 24th meeting recommendations relating to the Environmental Assessment
Worksheet were made. Enger stated there were two requests : 1) to change
the Comprehensive Guide Plan from low density residential to medium density
and 2) for PUD Concept Review from mixed residential land uses. The Planning
Commission recommended approval (6 - 0) of the Comprehensive Guide Plan Change
and Planned Unit Development Concept Review as per the December 13th revision,
subject to the Staff Report recommendations of January 6, 1983, and other
Planning Commission recommendations as noted in its Minutes . The Planning
Commission also recommended that the 581 units be reduced to a maximum of
525
Director of Cormmunity Services Lambert said the Parks , Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission had reviewed this proposal on a number of occasions
the last being February 2, 1983. It recommended approval as per the Planning
Staff Report and the Community Services Staff Report with the following
• exceptions: that the 4.3 acre park be tied into the first phase, and that
the dedication of the park on the Lakeshore along with payment of cash park
fees be reconsidered. The Commission would also like the opportunity to
review the need for an interior trail system as rezoning requests are reviewed.
Bentley said the change in the Guide Plan must be considered before approval
of the PUD concept is addressed. He felt that one of the major considerations
should be whether or not the City should open an area in a low density region
to medium density development. He wondered if the City would be forcing the
construction of sewer facilities into this area prematurely; the public costs
must be looked into in terms of roads and other utilities. He asked if the
proposed density is supposed to fit into the surrounding land uses.
Redpath noted there is already higher density use to the north of the proposal .
The trunk line sewer will have to go through this area some day. He asked
how long the cul-de-sac in area "A" would be. Enger said 1/2 to 3/4 mile.
Redpath said without the connection with County Road 1 this would not be
desirable.
Penzel said in 1972 there were plans which indicated the density would become
lower as one went west and south from Mitchell Road . This , he said, is some-
thing which has been anticipated over the past ten years.
Redpath said the length of time that the Planning Commission and the Parks ,
Recreation & Natural Resources Commission had spent discussing the density
issue should be given a great deal of consideration by the Council . If
these Commissions were accepting of the change, based on a great deal of
discussion, then the Council should consider their recommendation as valid.

City Council Minutes -5 February 15, 1983
Bentley said he is not really concerned with the density question but
felt it could be done in a good way and will accomplish the goals set
forth in the PUD concept. He felt the most important consideration is
the cost to extend the utilities into that area. Fenzel agreed that the
utility cost is a valid concern; but he felt that this would be a part of
the rezoning question. He said the question to be answered was whether or
not this PUD met the original` premises of the Comprehensive Plan. Bentley
asked if the Guide Plan directed itself to the staging of utilities. Enger
said -there is a capital improvements program for the trunk sewer and water
projects and this is slated for 1984-85. Bentley asked how the density
change in this area occurred. Enger said it was the result of neighbor-
hood meetings held in 1975 at which time the Guide Plan was discussed.
Wendell Owens , 9041 East Staring L.ane, said he is concerned about a road
from East Staring Lane into the development. Penzel said City policy has
been to interconnect neighborhoods and that such connections be made as
new developments occur. Penzel noted that such a p) ocedure would only
come about after public hearings and only if and when City sewer and
water connections were made.
Bentley asked how the City could require the loop road extension into
the proposed project which would go through property not controlled by the
proponent. Ender explained there are several things which ar•e beyond the
control of the developer. One is the property is 1400' away from a hard
surface road on Mitchell Raad; 4,000' away from trunk sewer and water which
would be necessary to serve the area. Enger said the proponent is asking
for approval of the land use plan subject to the approval of these various
issues. He said it has been suggested to the proponent that he work with
the adjacent property owners; if this doesn ' t occur in several years
then perhaps there might be some public involvement. Penzel
noted a letter from Virgil A. Seifert in which he expressed his concern
about being assessed for any utility improvements .
Bentley said he would like to see the densities in Section K lowered.
Redpath said if this concept is accepted he would like to see the pro-
ponent come in with a plan for the road system when the time to approve
that is before the Council, Mason said the City has already said they
must have a collector street through this property; otherwise they would
have different plans for this property.
Penzel said the City must look very carefully at the issue of expenditures
of public improvements.
Bentley asked if any figures had been put together for extending Mitchell
Road and if any figures were available for the cost of utilities to this
area. Enger said Director of Public Works Dietz might have a general idea
as to the cost. There were some figures put together several years ago
according to Enger. Enger said it costs approximately $100 a front foot
for each side of a 28' street with utilities in it. For a 1400' street
or road this would amount to $280,000. Bentley asked if there could be
some preliminary figures put together which would also show suggested means
of financing. Penzel said he felt this was a zoning related matter and
the Council should not get hung up on this aspect.

City Attorney Pauly noted the revised draft of Ordinance No. 1-83 provides
that 60% of the profits shall go for community benefit and for "persons or
objects within the City. " Some of the service clubs - such as the Lion' s
Club - may wish to send their profits from a raffle event to some chari -
table organization which may be located outside of the City (i .e. Heart
Hospital , Association for the Blind, Camp Courage, etc. ) Accordingly,

the requirement for using 60% of the profits for persons or uses within
the City be waived. Fees will be delineated in the Fee Resolution,

No. 1-83, relating to the regulation, licensing and use of gambiing devices.

line and Duck Lake Roads.
City Manager Jullie noted Staff had worked out specific details in the
Developer' s Agreement.
Bentley asked about the phasing of Duck Lake Road. Jullie said the property s
owners on the east side of the road would not be assessed for any improvements
until the time their homes were connected to sewer and water. There was dis-
cussion regarding the proponent's construction of the utilities .
i
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to grant 2nd Reading to Ordinance

con ractin , and Adoption of Resolution No. 83-31 , Approving Suinmary of Ordi-
nance No. 4-82, and Ordering the Publication of Said Summary for Cherne Contrac-
tine
City Manager Jullie introduced Delbert Miller of the Hennepin County Park
Reserve, Miller said the Park Reserve District Board still recognizes the
property boundary as it was show in the transfer agreement. He noted the
change has not been approved by the Board. Because the amount of land pre-
viously accepted by the Board amounted to 53% of the site he was not certain
as to the reaction of the Board to the 33% dedication. He thought perhaps
the Board would like to negotiate with Cherne for more property. Miller
felt the City should be aware of what the Board might do. He indicated they
might have to go back to the Metropolitan Council since it was a third party
in this transaction.
- J
City Council Minutes -8 February 15, 1983
Penzel said the City would not want to stand in the way of the Park Reserve
Board's desires. Miller said his concern was the manner in which the 33%
would be given as well as the timing -- how would the 23'lvo donation be handled;
what about the additional 10%? Jullie said the City had a letter on file from
Cherne expressing their intent; the City also would have control over the
building permits issued. Penzel said it would be the committed intent of the
City Council to turn over the land to the Park Reserve.
City Attorney Pauly reviewed the aspect of the transaction which will be
presented in the form of a gift.
Director of Community Services Lambert said there is a copy of a revised
deed which removes concerns ; this will be substituted for a section which
no longer applies. Anderson asked about the restrictions being placed on
the site. Lambert said there were no more restrictions than those which
had been placed on the Bachman-Anderson site.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to grant 2nd Reading of Ordinance
No. 4-82, rezoning. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to approve the Developer's Agree-
ment for Cherne Contracting. Motion carried unanimously.

4L IX. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNITCATIONS
A. Resolution No. 82-261 , regarding request from Henne in Country to enforce
parking restrictions at Lion's Tap formerly L,ynon's Tap Continued from
11/16/82
City Manager Jullie explained this item had been considered at the November
16, 1982 Council meeting at which time the owner, Mr, Notermann, indicated
he would be proceeding through the City' s rezoning process to a tempt to
resolve the parking problem. As of today, the City had not received any
rezoning applications. Jullie said the Public Safety Department had indi-
cated there have been no additional problems in the area.
Penzel said the commitment the Council was given in November has not been
followed up on and the Council should act by indicating signs will be put
up in 30 days if nothing is done.
MOTION: Redpath moved seconded by f.nderson, to put up no parking signs
if the proponent has not come back to the City in 30 days with the appro-
priate applications.
Bentley said he did not see the immediate hurry since this has not been
a problem in the past.
I
ty Council Minutes -9- February 15, 1983
Bert Notermann, owner of Lion' s Tap, said the plan which they had intended
to bring in is not feasible at this time because they have not been able
to acquire the land to make the necessary changes.
Dick Putnam, consultant to the said the have been attempting
proponent, Y
to buy land from Sever Peterson who is not interested at this time in
selling the land. He hoped they would be able to come back to the City
within a couple of weeks with a new plan. 1

location. Notermann said he felt with an additional expansion and the
addition of parking the Lion's Tap image could be maintained as it is.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
B. Metro Council staff presentation regarding EIS process for Flying Cloud_
Sanitary Landfill
Carl Schenk and Karen Harring•�on were present from the Metropolitan Council .

further on its policy plan and guide plan since 1981. Schenk said it is
supposed to be revised in 1983.

Penzel said he hoped the EIS would answer some of the concerns which the
City now has. The question of what the City' s final options might be was

dicate what these land owners see as happening on the property they own.
The Chamber of Commerce then hopes to put together a report which will
show what is there, what might be proposed, and where the road spurs might .
come into Prairie Center Drive. Bentley said he has been very pleased
with the high degree of cooperation the Chamber has received from the
property owners. He said this study will help to decide whether there is
a basis for a design framework.

Director of Public Works Dietz spoke to his memorandum of February 3,
1983, in which he addressed the rading at the intersection of 78th

ize a change order which would remove the surcharge from the Hyde prop-
erty to Technology Drive, Dietz indicated he had appeared before the

Director of Community Services Lambert called attention to a February 15,
1983, memorandum regarding the 1982 Community Center Financial Report in
which a net operating profit of $2,264. 14 was reported.
Penzel stated this was better than anyone had expected and was a sign not
only of good management but also of the tremendous support of the community.
XII. NEW BUSINESS
Penzel said he would like to see legislation passed during this session of the
State Legislature whereby the licensing procedure for registering car ownership
would be amended so that license plates would be transferred at th-e time of the
sale of a car. This would mean that the plates would belong to a person who would
be insured and if a person sold a car he or she would keep the plates; the
new owner of the previously owned car would have to prove insurability prior to
purchasing plates.
Bentley noted there is a proposal before the Legislature now which would levy
