PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. MUIRFIELO by Tandem Corporation, Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from
Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residentlal for approximately
25 acres ; Planned Unit Development District Review, with variances, and
zoning from Rural to R1-13.5 for approximately 11,0 acres and from Rural
to R1-9.5 for approximately 25 acres; preliminary plat of 36 acres into
119 single family lots . Location: north side of Valley View Road, east
of Park View Lane. (Resolution No. 84-269 - Comprehensive Guide Plan
Amendment; Ordinance No. 116-84 - rezoning: and Resolution No. 84-270 -
preliminary plat) - continued Public Hearing from August 28, 1984
City Manager Jullie noted this request had been continued from the August
28, 1984, meeting of the City Council , Since that date, the applicant has
prepared a new plan which has been reviewed by the Planning Commission,
Notice of this Public Hearing was published and property owners in the
project vicinity were notified,
l
- _ - -
City C(.unc i l Mi r;utf�s -3- October 2, 1984
Jim Ostenson, Tandem Corporation, addressed the request. Also present
were Lyle Nash, representina Twin Ci ty Federal , Rose Pavel ks, owner
of the property, and Ken Adolph, engineer with Schoel l Madson.
Planning Director Enger stated this proposal had been considered by the
Planning Commission at its September 24, 1984, meeting at the direction
of the City Council . Upon review of the new plan, the Planning Commission
felt that this , in general , was no different than a typical subdivision.
They did not feel the plan offerred anything different to warrant a Guide
Plan Change and recommended to the Counci 1 on a 4 - 2 vote: it suggests
the Council not adopt the recommendation relative to the Comprehensive
Guide Plan Amendment regarding the change from low density residential
to medium density residential for approximately 25 acres because the
proponent has not provided adequate justification for the Guide Plan
change, as a result a precedent could be set, However, notwithstanding
the foregoing suggestion: because of the requirement of State Statutes ,
that a City Council may adopt an amendment to the Comprehensive Guide
Plan only after receipt of a positive recommendation of a majority of
Planning Commission members, it is hereby recommended that the request
by the Tandem Corporation for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment from
low density residential to medium density residential for approximately
25 acres of the project known as Muirfield be approved based upon the
revised plans dated September 15, 1984, subject to the recommendations
of the Staff Report dated September 21 , 1984, The Planning Commission
went on to recommend denial of the rezoning and the request for the pre-
liminary plat. The reason for denial was that it did not correspond to
the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Enger noted that the Commission wished to
pass on to the Council that it felt that should the Council find that the
Comprehensive Guide Plan change was substantiated, that the preliminary plat and rezoning requests - as presented and as reviewed with recommended
changes as noted in the September 21 , 1984, Staff Report - were acceptable
to the Planning Commission.
Bentley asked if the two specific densities which were recommended for the
site were discussed in any of the Staff Reports . Enger stated the 3.25 units
per acre density was discussed as an average in the first Staff Report. The
second Staff Report gave comparisons .
Penzel asked if this plan had been shown to the neighborhood. Ostenson "
said it had been.
Bob Turk, 6691 Boyd Avenue, noted that there were not many neighborhood
residents here tonight because everyone is very busy; he stated countless
hours had been spent by the residents reviewing plans for Muirfield. He
said some of the changes which have been made are only cosmetic. He posed
the question: "What is different about this plan to warrant a Guide Plan
change?" He also wondered about a precedent being set should the Guide Plan
be changed, and the effect it would have on other developers who will then
request the same. He said he found it hard to believe the developer could
not conform to the Guide Plan. He stated that everyone has said the density
is too hight.
City Council Minutes -4- October 2 , 1984
Redpath said that about four years ago the Council had made a conscious
decision and effort to do something about the high cost of housing by
allowing 9.5 zoning. He said in his mind the justification for a Guide
Plan change is to bring down the cost of housing. He said the word
"guide" does not mean that something is cast in stone.
i
Bentley noted the Council had made Guide Plan changes in the past. He
said he felt the Guide Plan is a guide to be followed generally. He said
he was not totally convinced that a Guide Plan change was required here.
He asked what would happen if a project like this were zoned 13. 5 --
would it still be above 2. 5 units per acre. Enger said he had not looked
at that, but it would be possible.
Penzel said he felt there should be a provision made for a transition
between neighborhoods. To be consistent with past procedure he felt
a process of transition was in order here.
Jack McCreery, 7109 Park View Lane, said he had seen four different proposals
for this project. He said that to say there is a transition is a joke because
there is only one block zoned 13.5 before there is a 9.5 block.
Ostenson said there are assessments of $40,000 - $45,000 per acre on this
property for the construction of Valley View Road. Because of this cost,
more lots in the development are necessary to carry the cost of the road.
Bentley asked what the standard lot size in Edenvale and The Preserve are.
Enger said 10,000 - 11 ,000 square feet.
i- Redpath asked if the proponent would be agreeable to adjusting frontages
as recommended in the Planning Staff Report. Ostenson said that was
acceptable.
Penzel asked about the lot size in the Apple Groves development. Enger
said that was zone 9.5 and the lots were between 12,000 and 14,000 square
feet in area . Penzel asked about the frontage of the lots in Sterling
Field. Enger said they were 120' .
Anderson expressed concern about the trail connection to the park . He
said that school children could walk to school if the trail to the park
was built and providing the trail were maintained on a year-round basis.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to close the Public Hearing
and to adopt Resolution No. 84-269, amending the Comprehensive Municipal
Plan.
Bentley asked what the feeling of other Council members was regarding the
second tier of lots. Tangen said he felt if that change were to be made,
the Council would then be considering a new plan. He said he had not seen
the justification for a Guide Plan change. Tangen stated he did not want
to see the Council set a precedent. He noted that when he came on the Council
9,
City CQUr2C i l "tnL:' es -5- Gc Loher 2, 1934
four years ago , the standard was 2 units per acre ; now the Council is
looking at proposals which have over 3 units per acre. He indicated
C he would have difficulty in supporting this change. Tangen said he
would vote against the Guide Plan change and he would not support the
plan.
Redpath said there is a need in the community for this type of development.
He said he felt 9500 square feet is a reasonable figure when the City
isn' t ready for zero lot line type developments .
Anderson said 9. 5 zoning was already in place when he came on the Council .
He said be strongly believed in the transition between zoning districts.
He said if the Council were to change the one tier of housing to 13.5 j
it might work better.
Rose Pavelka, property owner, said she had fought the quarter million
dollars in assessments. She said she could not understand why there could
not be a higher density in the housing along Valley View Road which is one
of the most highly travelled in the City.
Dave Hackman, 18212 Valley View Road, said the decision on whether it
should be 9.5 "or 13.5 zoning comes down to the decision as to what type
of neighborhoods and life styles should be in that area.
Maureen Brady, 18216 Valley View Road, said she did not want to see this as
an area of high density. She said ten years ago she was not in favor of
Valley View Road being constructed through that area,
Bentley said he felt the argument for justifying the change was whether
or not the basic concept of this proposal has some merit and then how
much merit does it have.
Turk said the Sterling Field lots to the north of this have 110' frontages
and those which would abut them would be 80' so each Sterling Field lot
would be di sected by two lots. He said multiple density housing will
probably go in to the east on the remaining 15 acres of the Pavel ka
property,
Bentley suggested that something be done so that the lots abutting adjacent
neighborhoods be matched with the existing lot lines to the north and west,
He noted this had been done in other areas. Qstenson said he did not see
what purpose would be served by doing that. He noted the costs are all
passed on to the buyer; the City should be concerned about the financing
-- that has all been arranged for and is an important feature of any
project. He said screening could be put in which would block the view
of the lot-size variations.
City Council Minutes -6- October 2 , 1984
Tangen said from the discussion he thought perhaps the plan should be
modified which in turn would justify modifying the Guide Plan. He sug-
gested 13.5 zoning be considered across the northern portion of the
westerly half of Block 4. He asked Enger what would be lost by doing
that. Enger said one lot would be lost on the north, two in the middle
and one on the east; the density would then be at approximately 2.9 units
per acre. Tangen said he did not know if that would make the proposal
economically feasible or not, but it might make it more attractive and
would create a better transition.
City Attorney Pauly suggested that Redpath' s motion be amended to combine
the substance of the motion relative to the preliminary plat to include
those conditions so that it would be subject to those conditions .
i
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION : Bentley moved , seconded by Redpth , to amend
the motion to include Resolution No. 84-270, approving the preliminary
plat of the Muirfield Addition for Tandem Corporation , with the changes
as discussed here this evening.
Tangen said he felt it was necessary to have the details as to what
was going to be included . Enger said this would include a Comprehensive !
Guide Plan change, approval of the preliminary plat subject to a reduction
in the northern area of Block 2 by one Tot; in the area south of Boyd Avenue E
in Block 3 the lots would be 13. 5 which would mean a reduction of approximately
two lots ; and in the area on the east side of Boyd Avenue there would be a
reduction of one lot making that a 13.5 area; and in Block 4, there would
be a reduction of one lot.
Tangen said he would like to have the developer have the option in Block
4 of making all of that 13.5, He said he would rather see transitions
in back yards and not in front yards,
VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT: Motion carried unanimously,
VOTE ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED; Motion carried unanimously,
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Anderson, to give 1st Reading to
Ordinance No. 116-84, rezoning, which will conform with the platting t
as discussed this evening.
Penzel asked that the Council have a copy of the revised plat before it
prior to adoption of the final plat.
VOTE ON MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to direct Staff to prepare
a Developer's Agreement taking into consideration the recommendations
of various Commissions, Staff and the City Council,
Anderson said the trail in this area should be constructed so it can be
plowed.
City Council t'i rues -7- October 2, 1984
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
Tangen noted the developer had requested a permit to do preliminary grading.
He said he would like to have the recommendation of Staff regarding this .
Tangen stated that the Council had made a decision last year that this is
something which it did not wish to happen; if it is to occur, there must
be a strong positive Staff recommendation supporting the need.
B. BLUFFS 14EST 5TH ADDITION by The Bluffs Company. Request for Zoning
District Change from R1-22 to R1-13.5 for 14.5 acres and preliminary
plat of 14. 5 acres into 32 single family lots. Location: south of
Riverview Road, east of West Riverview Drive. (Ordinance No. 106-84 -
zoning and Resolution No. 84-215 - preliminary plat) Continued Public
Hearing from September 4, 1984
City Manager Jullie indicated this Public Hearing was continued from
September 4, 1984.
Mayor Penzel noted at the previous hearing a major issue was the question
of storm drainage in the Bluffs West area.
Director of Public Works Dietz reviewed the findings relative to storm
drainage in the area. He reviewed possible ways of alleviating the drainage F
problems in the area. Dietz noted that most of the outlots were constructed
for storage of water produced by a ten-year rain; the tot lots were designed
for storage of storm water during wet periods -- these were known as "innun-
dation areas. "
Regis Betsch, 11941 Pendleton Court, stated that any constructior of a j
drainage ditch on the hill would cause undue erosion. Betsch said that
Federal agencies would be upset with any dumping of water in this area.
Dietz said any proposal would require a DNR and Watershed District permit. '
He added that the main concern both agencies would have was with silt being
dumped in the area. Betsch said they do not want any leaching in the wild-
life refuge area. Dietz noted the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
has a pipe going through this area.
Penzel had a question as to how the cost of the improvement might be assessed.
Dietz said he looked at this in much the same way as the Bluffs East project
where the developer was required to bring the pipe on through. He indicated
this was now the time to construct this pipe.
Dr. James Diehl , 10530 West Riverview Drive, asked if this drainage system
was necessary only because of� the zoning change. Dietz said the need was
created because of development -- the paving of Riverview and the construc-
ti on of homes in the area; it was was not necessarily the result of the
zoning change under request.
Diehl asked who would pay for this . Dietz said his recommendation would be
to have the proponent pay for all but a small portion of it based on the
street improvements which would then be assessed to the adjacent property
owners .
City Council Minutes -8- October 2, 1984
Brendan O' Donnell , 11590 Riverview Road , said the issues are two-fold. He
referred to a letter sent to then City Engineer Jul l i e in 1979. He asked
the Council to defer any development proposals until the storm drainage
problems are resolved. The issues are whether or not to fix the problem
now or to add to the problem and fix it at a later date. He stated that
all the approvals for the drainage should precede action on the part of
the City Council .
Ellen Koshenina , 10541 Riverview, said they were pleased when the City
Council requested a study of the drainage problem in this area. She said
they were not happy to hear that the same firm which had done the work for
the Hustads was also working for the City. She said they want to make sure
the solution is the right one. She asked if the environmentalists had been
involved in this.. She also asked what the potential problems might be.
Dietz said the consultants had only supplied the City with the "blue line"
drawings and that City Staff had done the remaining work.
's
Diehl asked if there was some way to prevent undue erosion or a way to
restore the contours of the land.
Betsch wondered if there had been any estimates made as to how much more
it would cost to run the drainage pipe to the river via Riverview Road.
Dietz said he didn't make those estimates; he said it would cost about 3
$70,000 to do what now needs to be done. Anderson noted there would be
no land acquisition costs involved in using Riverview Road since the
City already owns that property. Redpath said the Council must determine
what is the best solution. Bentley said he felt consideration must be given
to the environmental problems; he said he was not convinced that all the
alternatives had been looked at. Anderson said he would like to see a
plan for storm water drainage before he approves another plan. Penzel
asked how long it would take to make the necessary review of this area.
Dietz asked if the Council was requesting a feasibility report or a
preliminary assessment roll -- it would take between six weeks to two
months to do a report.
Bentley asked if approval of the Bluffs 5th proposal required resolving
this issue. Dietz said there has to be a permanent solution to the drainage
problem at some time and this seems to be the time.
Wally Hustad, Jr. , proponent, said he would like to have this looked at
further; he would like to work out something whereby they could have a 1st
Reading of the Ordinance this evening,
Dietz said he would be able to come back to the City Council with a t
feasibility study at the second meeting in January.
Charles Koshenina, 10541 Riverview, said he felt that before the integrity
of the hillside is breached, we must loot: at what we are doing .
Betsch said he would like the Council to construct a solution to the problem
before allowing approval of any more homes .
I
City Council hIinutes -9- October 2, 1984
Tangen said the Council had not addressed the question of the plat.
He noted there were other issues that were raised in the proposal . He
asked if the developer was interested in proceeding with the drainage
if the development was not approved at this time. Hustad said if the
proposed plat was denied, he would have to sell the property to someone
else. He said that was a hard question to answer.
F
Anderson asked what affect waiting to January would have on the developer.
Hustad said money is available and the home builders are ready, so it would
"hurt" some. He said he would like to work out something.
Redpath asked if it would be proper to ask Staff to look at ponding on the
west side. Bentley said the Council would not know whether or not that
is the correct solution. Bentley said he would not agree to anything
prior to a feasibility study.
Hustad asked if they could improve the cul-de-sacs and work on the drainage
problems with the City at the same time,
MOTION : Anderson moved, seconded by Bentley, to continue the Public
Hearing and to defer any action on this proposal until the second meeting
- in January (January 22, 1984) at which time a feasibility study will be
presented to the City Council . Motion carried with Redpath and Tangen
voting "no. "
C. EDENVALE 11 by Richard Anderson, Inc, Request for Preliminary Plat of
4.57 acres for one lot and approval of permit to construct within the
floodplain. Location: north of Martin Drive and west of Mitchell g
Road. (Resolution No. 84-258 - preliminary plat and Resolution No.
84-Vi - floodplain permit)
City Manager Jullie said notice of this Public Hearing had been published
and property owners in the project vicinity had been notified.
Scott Anderson, proponent, and Warren Israelson, consultant , addressed
the proposal .
City Planner Enger said this request had been reviewed by the Planning
Commission at its September 10, 1984, meeting at which time it voted to
recommend approval subject to the recommendations included in the September
7, 1984, Staff Report.
Tangen asked for clarification on the lighting. Scott Anderson said there
would be 20 ' cut-off 1 uminars in the parking lot; they would eliminate
glare across the golf course to the north.
Anderson said he had concern about how this would look from the golf
course; he asked that deciduous trees be used to screen the area.
City Council Minutes -10- October 2, 1984
Penzel asked if it would be more reasonable to build in the floodplain
and have the parking on the south side of the building rather than on
the north.
Tangen asked if the 20' lights were "cast in stone. " He said he would
like to see evergreens included to buffer the parking.
Scott Anderson said he would not be averse to putting in evergreens .
He indicated Staff had suggested creek-type plantings such as weeping
willows .
Enger noted this site was previously zoned.

VI. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Review ofdecision of Board of Appeals & Adjustments regarding Variance_
No. 84-45 for Hans Hagen Homes
City Manager Jullie noted that Hans Hagen Homes requested a variance in
the Northmark 4th Addition. The request would allow a side yard setback
to be 15 feet instead of the Code-required 30 feet so that two townhomes
would be able to have two-car garages. Staff recommended denial because
the plat was approved with a mix of one- and two-car garages which were i
not shown by specific housing unit. The conditions of the plat and or- j
dinance can be met and thus there has been no demonstration of hardship.
The board of Appeals b Adjustments, however, approved the request subject
to possible appeal to the City Council .
Bentley said he had requested this be brought to the Council because of a
question of fairness, He noted that a resident who lives across the
street from the proposed variance had started to put up a structure
and had to appear before the Board of Appeals about a year ago. The Board
denied this variance, Bentley said he did not feel it was fair to grant
a variance on one side of the road and not the other. He said he did
not think the Hagen project was diminished by having single car garages.
Penzel said he had concerns about the setbacks on Center Way, Bentley
said there is no room for screening or berming. Tangen asked the basis
for denial by Staff, Enger reviewed the Board's action.
Hans Hagen was present to answer questions and explain the situation,
MOTION: Tangen moved , seconded by Anderson, to grant the variance
as requested on Hyland Terrace and to deny the variance on Center Way.
Motion carried unanimously,

B. Report of City Manager
1. Review of proposed 1985 City Budget (continued from September 25, 1984)
City Manager Jul 1 i ed noted .there was a slight change in the projected
assessed valuation ; the valuation would be about 1.8% or $94,000 less
than projected.
Jullie reviewed his memorandum of September 28, 1984, in which he
addressed various ways in which the budget might be reduced.
The consensus was to defer the Corrniuni ty Center reserve item, roller
blades to be eliminated, and to eliminate the position of fire inspector.
MOTION: Anderson moved, seconded by Tangen, to approve the 1985 Budget
as amended. Motion carried unanimously.
2. Discussion on Rec cling Program
City Manager Jullie called attention to the September 27, 1984,
memorandum in which recylcing solid waste was addressed.
Bentley said he thought this was an excellent idea. He said he would
like to see representatives from the waste hauling community on the
Committee.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Anderson, to appoint an advisory
committee to study recycling as outlined in Assistant to the City
Manager Dawson' s memorandum of September 27. 1984. This committee
will have at least one representative from the waste hauling community,
one from the Planning Commission, and one from the Parks . Recreation
& Natural Resources Commission with a maximum number of eleven members
with 7 - 9 being preferable. The members will be appointed at the
second meeting in November. Motion carried unanimously.
