IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Braun' s Fashions , Inc. by Rauenhorst Corporation. Request to rezone from Rural
to I-2 and preliminary plat 9.95 acres into i lot and 1 outlot. Located north of
Valley View Road across from 9955 Valley View Road (Ordinance No. 80-13 and
Resolution No. 80-98) Continued from 6/3/80
City Manager Ulstad explained at the last meeting the Council raised some
concerns relative to the transportation facility serving the area and also the
overall land use of the northeast quadrant of the City. Ulstad stated at that time
he would meet with the County Highway Department to talk about Valley
View Road and the grade problem that presently exists in the area. Ulstad added
City Staff did meet with Mr. Klossner of the County Highway Department on Monday,
6/16/80, and in the discussion of Valley View Road, specifically as it relates
to the grade that affects the Braun property, Mr. Klossner raised the point about
the traffic generation that is presently occurring at the intersection of
Washington Avenue and County Road 18. Presently there are stop signs in this area
that are causing some difficulty in the traffic movement to the point of where
the warrants are very close to calling for signalization of this intersection,
Discussion took place at this meeting about the tremendous grade and it was Mr.
Klossner's opinion a grade change ought to occur regardless, and also the City
ought to entertain a Public Hearing for the purpose of installing signals at this
location. In addition the County wondered about traffic movements in the area.

City Council Minutes - 3 - Tues . ,June 17, 1980
A. Braun' s Fashions , Inc. (continued) n
Ulstad explained Mr. Helle, who owns industrial property in the area, has agreed to
P P P Y
construct and dedicate a north/south road connecting West Ath Street and
Valley View Road - thus giving an outlet for the Braun property both to the =
south and back to the east. Also there would be movement to the west and they
can actually get out up through the park property. There was a thought reviewed
by the Highway Department on Monday, that possibly the proponent, if the Council
so chooses to approve the Braun' s request, would be involved in the reduction of
the grade which would eliminate reducing some of the hill to the north of the
property which they are planning to do for balancing the site.
City Planner Enger spoke to the surrounding land uses for the northeast
quadrant.
Redpath asked if the County suggested they would go ahead with Valley View Road.
Ulstad replied either the County would go ahead and propose a joint agreement,
or the City could proceed with an improvement - a portion of which would have to
be assessed. Then the City/County would enter into an agreement on cost sharing.
Ulstad feels the County would prefer that the City proceed. The signal would
be included, probably under a separate contract, and the City would have to bear
a portion of that cost.
Redpath questioned what the effect would be on Shady Oak Road extended? Ulstad
responded the County would not participate as Shady Oak is totally the City's
project and is being assessed to the abutting property owners. Shady Oak Road
is not designed to County road standards, it is designed to a 9-ton limit. Ulstad
added a couple of years ago the City did acquire the triangular piece so the
diamond interchange could be approached at somewhat of a reasonable angle.
Osterholt asked when the road in Mr. Helle' s property is planned to be built in
the southerly direction. City Engineer Jullie replied that would be tied to his
next subdivision, i .e. , no more development without additional access.
Robert Worthington, Rauenhorst Corporation, stated they were not made aware of
this new alternative until today, and it is their conclusion they can work something' ,
out if they can work the woad and site at the same time. Worthington spoke to
two concerns which they have: 1) how the costs are going to be distributed,
and 2) the whole question of timing. Worthington added Braun's has to be in the
ground as soon as possibly this Fall in order to meet some deadlines. However,
they are willing to work with City staff to try and come up with a solution
satisfactory to all parties.
City Engineer Jullie added if something can be worked out, i .e. . determination
on what the grades are goinv to be, an agreement with Braun' s wherein they
can go in and start doing the grading, and some cost sharing perhaps on the
surfacing with maybe a credit against any assessment that would accrue against
this property, perhaps this could be worked out to be a very simple project. How-
ever if the costs don' t come out that way and the City's participation is needed
right away, then it may have to wait until next summer.
MOTION: Osterholt moved, seconded by Redpath, to close the Public Hearing and
give a 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 80-13, rezoning from Rural to I-2
9.95 acres into 1 lot and 1 outlot for Braun's Fashions, Inc. by Rauenhorst
Corporation. Motion carried unani,m. usly.

B. Public Hearin for street and pathway construction on Anderson Lakes Parkway
from Preserve Boulevard to T.H. 169, I .C. 51-341 Resolution No. 80-116
City Engineer Jullie spoke to the Feasibility Study dated May, 1980) and answered
questions of Council members,
Monroe Levie, 12440 Cockspur Court, President of the Lake Eden South Homeowners
Association, commented that the development which was before the Planning
Commission (Anderson Lakes Parkway Neighborhood Shopping Center) included some
projected traffic figures along Anderson Lakes Parkway and along Hwy. 169 which
could be generated by the development. While the protective medians for turning ;
are admirable, Mr. Levie felt there is another step that needs to be taken and
that is a signal light. Mr. Schumacher has offered $20,000.00 up front for that
cost and Mr. Levie urgEd the Council to take that into consideration,
Mr. Levie asked what the proposed speed limit is along Anderson Lakes Parkway
extension. Jullie replied it will probably be a 35 MPH posted speed limit.
Le•: i -, u► c cd consideration be given to a lower speed (30 MPH) , and that
"Children At Play" signs also be installed. Further that consideration be given
to another set of hexagon stop signs further down so there can be better control
on people travelling through.
Mr. Levie questioned where the proposed asphalt walkway will be on the south
side in relation to the curbing, Jullie responded a typical section is 13 feet
from the back of the curb to the property line, and the edge of the walk is
proposed l foot from the property line leaving about a four foot boulevard area.
Levie wondered if the storm sewage drainage will be into the swampy area, and if
so, how will that affect the level of the swamp area. Mr, Gary Erickson, BRW,
responded it will be directed into the swampy area. There are two outlets, one
from Anderson Lakes Parkway itself at the intersection of Homeward Hills Road,
and there are two catch basins because there are hills coming down in both
directions which is the lowpoint. There is also a culvert which probably goes
to the east of the pedestrian underpass which is simply a perpetuation of the flow
which is coming from the school property and the unplatted residential pass under
neath the highway into the swampy area. It is water that is running that
direction now and will continue to flow into the swamp area. The amount of runoff
prior to any major development should not raise the level of the swamp. There
are no other major storm sewer proposals in this area.
Mike Jiran, 8936 Darnell Road, asked if the swamp was designated as protective
land. Director of Community Services Lambert replied the swamp is designated as
public waters.

B. Public Hearing for street and pathway construction on Anderson Lakes Parkway
from Preserve Boulevard to T.H. 169, I .C. 51-341 continue
Mr. Jiran questioned the closeness of the road to the swamp and its eventual
runoffs as far as salt is concerned. Jullie replied the road is along the edge
and this was reviewed when the Lake Heights Addition came through. Jullie added
there are some soil problems and some corrective work will have to be done.
There is a petition from Lake Heights and Meadow Park subdivisions and they will
be doing the grading on Homeward Hills Roads, south of the Lake Heights Addition,
and paying all the grading costs. They are in essence assuming the liabilities
for poor soil conditions and have quite a lot of excess material on their site
that can be used for this correction. To the question of salt and any. impact
on the watershed, Jullie replied the City tries to use the very minimum of
chemicals - just enough to keep the sand mixture from freezing. There is no way
to treat storm water runoff other than detention ponds. Jullie stated the City
does not have any problems now and he doesn't anticipate any damages.
Steve Birke, 8518 Darnell Road, asked when Anderson Lakes Parkway is put through
is the stoplight to be installed next summer included in the package, or if
something happens next summer where the money is not available might they end
up without a stoplight? Jullie replied he is not absolutely sure as the Highway
Department has not given formal approval . The Highway Department is going to
review the warrants again and they must be convinced fit does meet the minimum
warrants. However, Jullie stated he is optimistic it can be worked out.
Mr. Levie asked ff there is anything further people in the area can do as home-
owners in relation to `the powers that be to make it further known the desire
for this stoplight. Jullie replied there is nothing further that can be done other
4Lthan contacting the Highway Department.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to close the Public Hearing and
adopt Resolution No. 80-116, ordering street, utility and pathway improvements
