IV. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
A. ROUND LAKE VIEW ADDITION , by Zachman Development
Company. Request for Zoning District Change from Rural
to R1-9.5 on 4.55 acres, and Preliminary Platting of
15.31 acres into 15 single family lots, 1 outlot, and
road right-of-way. Location: Northwest quadrant of
Valley View Road and Duck Lake Road. A public hearing.
Bob Smith, representing the proponent, stated that the
proponent had been before the Planning Commission and the
City Council in 1989 to receive concept approval for a
Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from low density to
medium density. Smith reviewed the zoning for the
surrounding properties. Staff had recommended that the
proponent look at alternate plans from those originally
proposed because of concern regarding the number of
double fronted lots. Smith reviewed 3 alternative plans
devised by the proponent. The proposal being recommended
for approval consisted of a total of 44 lots. Phase I
• would consist of 15 lots on 4.5 acres with the remainder
of the parcel to be designated as "green acres" and was
not being rezoned at this time. The utilities would
connect from Valley View Road. A sidewalk system would
be provided on the north and west side of the through
road. The plan will be revised to increase the lot
frontage on Lot 5, Block 1 to 70 feet. The tree
replacement for Phase I would be placed along the street
boulevard. Duck Lake Road would be platted and
dedicated. A bituminous trail to the school will be
constructed as part of Phase I.
Bye asked if the neighbors understood that this would be
a temporary cul-de-sac. Zachman replied that the cul-
de-sac was proposed as temporary in the marketing
information given to prospective buyers.
Hallett believed that it was important that a sign be
posted which would mark the cul-de-sac as temporary.
Kipp stated that this requirement could become part of
the Developer's Agreement.
Kipp reported that the proponent would be platting 15
lots as Phase I, Phase II of the project would remain
zoned Rural. The lot sizes proposed and the density of
the project were similar in character with the existing
neighborhood. Kipp stated that alternative designs for
the development had been reviewed to try to eliminate
some of the double frontage lots, but because each
alternative either added more cul-de-sacs, poor sight
vision distance, and did not eliminate more than two
double frontage lots, the proposal as submitted should
be used. The trail was to be constructed as part of
Phase I. Kipp stated that the architectural diversity
plan had been submitted. Staff recommended approval of
the project based on the requirements outlined in the
Staff Report.
Ruebling asked Kipp to clarify the need for a landscape
buffering plan for noise mitigation noted on Page 3 of
the Staff Report. Kipp replied that the noise issue
would be reviewed during Phase II due to the railroad
tracks and Duck Lake Road traffic. Smith replied that
a berm would be created. Ruebling asked if the main
noise would come from the railroad tracks. Kipp replied
that approximately 4 trains currently used this section
of track.
Ruebling stated that at the previous meeting in 1989
there had been concern because this development was
higher than some of the neighboring homes. Smith replied
that the homes in this proposal would be higher in
elevation than the homes to the west. Ruebling then
asked how much distance would be between the homes.
• Smith replied that homes would be approximately 110 feet
apart.
MOTION 1•
Dodge moved, seconded by Sandstad to close the public
hearing. Motion carried 7-0-0.
MOTION 2 •
Dodge moved, seconded by Sandstad to recommend to the
City Council approval of the request of Zachman
Development Corporation for rezoning from Rural to R1-
9.5 on 4.55 acres for Round Lake View, based on plans
dated February 28, 1990, subject to the recommendations
of the Staff Report dated March 9, 1990 with the Addition
of Item 6 to read: The temporary cul-de-sac shall be
posted with a sign. Motion carried 7-0-0.
MOTION 3•
Dodge moved, seconded by Sandstad to recommend to the
City Council approval of the request of Zachman
Development Corporation for Preliminary Plat of 15.31
acres into 15 single family lots, one outlot, and road
right-of-way to be known as Round Lake View, based on
plans dated February 28, 1990, subject to the
recommendations of the Staff Report dated Mach 9, 1990
with the addition of Item 6 to read: The temporary cul-
de-sac shall be posted with a sign. Motion carried 7-0-
0.
V. OLD BUSINESS
Kipp reported that he had meet with owners of Ochs Brick
Company regarding the grading along Highway #5. This grading
will help buffer some of the outside storage from the views
from the highway. As part of this review, Kipp stated that
he will work with the State to try to get some landscaping
planted along the Water Products site to help buffer their
outside storage as well.
Bye stated that the Planning Commission as a City Body would
help support the recommendation for the additional
landscaping.
VI. NEW BUSINESS
Kipp reported that the Comprehensive Guide Plan map had not
been graphically updated since 1982, and Staff had developed
a new map. Kipp presented the map for the Planning
Commission's review. All City and Met Council approved guide
plan changes that had been added in addition to Schools and
Churches. Some water classifications changed to be consistent
• with the DNR, and the Highway 212 alignment would be changed
to reflect current approvals. The City needed to advise the
Metropolitan Council of the major changes and present the map
for its approval.
Bye asked if the revised map would be presented to the
Metropolitan Council and then come back to the City for
further review. Kipp replied yes.
Hallett asked if any of the land had changed and been
designated as park land. Kipp replied that the park areas
were basically the same as before, but some existing
neighborhood parks were added to reflect existing parkland.
