MINUTES • EDEN PRAIRIE PLANNING COMMISSION Tuesday, May 29, 1973 Village Hall 7:30 P.M. INVOCATION PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ROLL CALL Members Present: Chairwoman Norma Schee, Wayne Brown, Lisa Soderlind, Dick Lynch, Donald Sorensen, Don Teslow • 4 Staff Present: Dick Putnam, Village Planner Members Absent: Joan Meyers, Patrick Casey Due to the rather informal meeting, the minutes of the previous meeting were deferred until the June 5 , 1973 commission meeting. I. PETITIONS AND REQUESTS: A. Olympic.Hills Golf Club proposal for a planned unit development of approximately 38 acres. • Residential uses - Mr. Stelios Aslandos, planner representing Olympic Hills Golf course from Midwest Planning & Research, presented a revision of the original Olympic Hills PUD proposed in November of 1972 . He indicated the changes were the elimination of units from the flood plan area of Neil Lake , the diminishing of the number of lots along the steep wooded hillside, and the acquisition of the Macinsted property --- which was a 7 .&cre exception adjacent to Franlo Road. He explained the inclusion of the 7 acre exception has made the site planning much more workable. Putnam outlined the study that was being undertaken by the property owners, of which Olympic Hills was a member, in the Preserve's southeastern sector of the Village. The landowners , and-planners had met the week before to discuss the procedure and method of giving a better planning framework to the entire area . At that time the four land owners were going to develop transportation, land use, community facilities and open space planning frameworks to be presented to the Planning Commission at the earliest opportunity. Putnam mentioned at that meeting and at the Planning Commission meeting that approval of individual PUD or zoning applications within this area would not be undertaken until such time that the sector land use plan being developed by the private developers was considered by the Planning Commission and Council. He indicated that this was consistent with past planning efforts within the Village such as Red Rock, Forest Hills and • Duck Lake. Mr. McLyn from Olympic Hills indicated his extreme displeasure with the amount of time that was being taken for the processing of his development proposal. He indicated that they had presented it last November and that . the Council and Planning Commission had not taken action on it at this time Planning Commission • May 29, 1973 Page Two and that any further delays would be detrimental to his timing for development. He asked that the Planning Commission take action at its next meeting early in June. Putnam pointed out that the Planning Commission had taken action with a recommendation which was outlined in a Staff Report at their initial presentation in November, 1972 and that Olympic Hills had asked that it not be placed on-the Council agenda and be given an opportunity to review the plans. He also pointed out that the Village in no way delayed the submission of the plans from November to May and that.' was at the developer's discretion. Mr. Aslandos and Mr. Mcl,.yn:. expressed the displeasure that they knew that the sector planning work was being accomplished at this point, since they said that at the November meeting and the Staff Report related to that presentation -- a sector planning effort was not undertaken. Putnam explained that due to the press of development within that area and the many unanswered questions such as;community facilities, pedestrian trails, utility sizing, open space systems and housing density as well as road systems that it became obvious that more planning . work was necessary prior to individual development. The Planning Commission suggested that the staff investigate Olympic Hills request that a Staff Report be completed by the next meeting, June 5, 1973 irregardless of the status of the sector planning effort- if Olympic Hills Golf Club so desired action by the Planning Commission prior to the sector planning completion. The matter was referred to the staff for-report at its next meeting. II. REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The Planning Commission and Staff attended the Council Hearing on a preliminary engineering feasibility report on the Major Center Area presented by Jim Murphy of Howard Needles, Tammen & Bergendorf. The feasibility report for the ring-route was presented. After the Major Center presentation of the ring-route feasibility, the Commission heard a brief summary of pending projects by the Planner.
