IV. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
B. TERRY DOUGLAS. Request for Steep Slope Grading Review,
Pursuant to Section 11.60 of the City Code. Location:
• North of U. S. #169, west of Eden Prairie Road on Minnesota
River Bluffs.
Planning Commission Minutes 2 May 23, 1983
Zoning Administrator, Jean Johnson, reviewed the request of Mr.
Douglas for grading of a slope along the Minnesota River Bluffs for
purposes of an access drive from Highway #169 for his home. She
presented slides of various areas of the City from 1981, when the
City had begun its investigations of slope preservation and erosion
control . Slides of the Douglas site, presenting greater detail of
the work completed, proposed, and the nature of slopes on the site,
were shown.
Zoning Administrator Johnson pointed out that the driveway, as
proposed, would not infringe upon any Indian burial mounds.
Planning Staff recommended approval of the request, subject to the
recommendations- of the Staff Report of May 20, 1983.
Chairman Bearman asked how citizens were informed of the requirement
for a grading permit on slopes. Staff explained that the City had
published the ordinance in the official newspaper and had also
received the cooperation of the local newspapers for stories
regarding the matter. Torjesen questioned whether a building permit
was required for a driveway. Staff responded that none was required
under normal circumstances, but would be required in the case of a
slope over 12%, such as this. Staff added that the Watershed
District also required a permit when more than 100 cubic yards of
top soil would be excavated for any project.
• Marhula questioned whether Beverly Drive would ever be extended.
Planner Enger stated that it was not possible to predict whether it
would, or not. He added that it had been platted to the property
line, however.
Marhula asked if any discussions had been held with the Watershed
District regarding the need for a permit. Proponent, Terry Douglas,
stated that there had not.
Torjesen questioned whether the developer's agreement for this area
had dealt with the question of access. Planner Enger stated that
the developer's agreement did require access to the north to Beverly
Drive. Current access existed via a private easement across private
property to the west.
Planner Enger pointed out that there were two Staff considerations:
1) Can the slope be reasonably stablized upon completion of the
project. Staff's opinion was that it could; 2) Can the driveway be
invisible from the bluff area. Staff's opinion was that it could.
MOTION:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Marhula, to recommend
approval of the request of Terry Douglas for grading of the steep
• slope for purposes of a driveway for his property located at 10011
Dell Road, subject to the recommendations of the Staff Report dated
May 20, 1983.
Motion carried--4-0-0
Planning Commission Minutes 3 May 23, 1983
C. GUSTAFSON & ASSOCIATES, Request for Rezoning from RM-6.5 to
R1-13.5 for two single family detached homes on two lots.
Location: Adjacent to Cardinal Creek Road & west of
Stonewood Court. A public meeting.
Mr. Greg Gustafson, Gustafson & Associates, was present to explain
the request for rezoning. He stated that the lots were originally
platted for duplex usage. After the platting process was nearly
completed, it was discovered that the requirements of the Shoreland
Ordinance included a 150 ft. structure setback from the creek. This
made it quite difficult to use these two lots for purposes of duplex
construction, therefore. Based on these requirements, proponent was
requesting zoning from RM-6.5 to R1-13.5 for two lots.
Staff reviewed the findings of the Staff Report of May 20, 1983,
recommending approval subject to the conditions listed in the
report.
Gartner stated that she was concerned by the letter received from
Mr. Kevin Kuester regarding the oak tree on the site, which was to
be preserved. Mr. Kuester stated in his letter that the tree had
been removed and questioned why it had been done when the public had
been told it would be saved. Mr. Gustafson responded that, while
• attempts had been made to salvage the tree, they were unsuccessful.
He reminded the Commission that the tree was located within a
platted right-of-way for a public street. The road was to split and
go around the tree at that point. Mr. Gustafson also stated that
they, proponents, had agreed to do everything possible to save the
tree, but had not guaranteed that it would be saved. Prior to the
removal of the tree, Mr. Gustafson had hired a tree surgeon to
examine the tree. It was the tree surgeon's conclusion that the
tree would be dead shortly, anyway, as the center of it was hollow.
Therefore, the tree was removed.
There was also a complaint in Mr. Kuester's letter regarding the
vehicle crossings of the creek bed. Staff responded that this would
be checked. There was one area where vehicles had always been
allowed to cross the creek, where a culvert had been installed to
handle the water. Other than the one location, there should be no
crossings of the creek by vehicles.
Chairman Bearman asked for comments from members of the audience.
There were none.
MOTION:
Motion was made by Marhula, seconded by Gartner, to recommend
approval of the request of Gustafson & Associates for rezoning of
Lot 1, Block 1, and Lot 17, Block 2, Cardinal Creek 3rd Addition
from RM-6.5 to R1-13.5, subject to the recommendations of the Staff
Report of May 20, 1983.
Motion carried--4-0-0
Planning Commission Minutes 4 May 23, 1983
D. LEN SWEDLUND & REPUBLIC SUPPLY COMPANY. Request for Pre-
liminary Plat of 14 acres into three (3) lots of
approximately 4.6 acres for single family detached homes.
Location: South of Riley Lake Road and east of the
Carver/Hennepin County boundary. A public hearing.
Mr. Greg Frank, proponent's engineer, reviewed the request for
preliminary platting of three lots. He explained the history behind
the request, noting that it had been before the Commission in 1980
in exactly the same configuration. At that time, approvals had been
received for the preliminary plat from the Planning Commission, and
proponent was to proceed to the Board of Appeals with variance
requests for the lot size, which, at that time, was a five-acre
minimum in the Rural District. Due to personal circumstances
involving financial difficulties affecting the property, the final
platting process was never completed. Only at this point in time
have these circumstances been cleared; therefore, proponent is back
before the City.
Mr. Frank stated that it was proponent's position that the
circumstances surrounding this project were unusual and to grant
such a request at this time, even though not in conformance with the
existing Code, would not be precedent setting because of the unusual
circumstances.
Mr. Frank stated that the addition of these lots would not create a
need for the extension of utilities to the site.
Staff reviewed the findings of the Staff Report of May 20, 1983,
recommending denial based on those findings. It was suggested in
the Staff Report that proponent return with a proposal revised to
include two, instead of three, lots.
Planner Enger pointed out that the major consideration was that of
compliance with City Code requirements, combined with the fact that
the project was initiated in 1980, three years ago, and was never
pursued further than preliminary platting in those three years.
Torjesen stated that he found the arguments of the proponent
pursuasive, especially regarding the inability'of filing of a final
plat due to the personal financial circumstances of the proponent.
He added that he felt it would be important to know the final
disposition of the final plat in terms of the City in order to make
a decision on this proposal. Torjesen questioned the normal chain
of events for approval of a final plat. Staff responded that the
final plat was normally filed within six months of the approval of
the preliminary plat. This was required by the Subdivision
Regulations of the City Code. It was pointed out that this
requirement was not strictly enforced; however, if and when
proponent's required additional time, they generally would contact
Staff for time extension on this requirement.
Torjesen questioned what made this project different. Planner Enger
Planning Commission Minutes 5 May 23, 1983
• stated that the requirements of the Code had changed. In addition,
the developer had not been in contact with the City regarding an
extension. Len Swedlund, one of the proponent's, stated that he was
unaware of the change in the Code until he had recently reapplied
for approval of the project.
MOTION•
Motion as made by Marhula, seconded by Torjesen to continue the
public hearing to the June 6, 1983 meeting pending resolution of the
status of the final plat at the City based on the 1980 application
for this preliminary plat.
Motion carried--4-0-0
(Johannes arrived at 8:40 p.m., Hallett arrived at 9:00 p.m.)
A. CITY WEST BUSINESS CENTER, by Ryan Construction. Planned
Unit Development Amendment, Zoning from Rural to I-2, and
Preliminary Plat of 14.05 acres into two lots for
office/service/storage uses. Location: Northeast of Shady
Oak Road, west of I-494. A continued public hearing.
The Commission had continued this item from the meeting of May 9,
1983 in order to have additional research prepared regarding the
legislative history of the project, the intent of the developer's
agreement for the property, and the exact approvals granted to the
project previously. In addition, Staff had been asked to prepare a
proposed list of allowable uses for this area of the City West
Planned Unit Development for this project.
Planner Enger reviewed the history of the project in detail, based
on Council and Planning Commission actions and recommendations. He
stated that, in discussions with the City Attorney, it was suggested
that covenants be placed on the land which would run between the
land owner and the City.
Gartner stated that she felt it was important that when a
developer's agreement is entered into that significantly changes a
project, the minutes of that meeting should note the change(s) in
order to avoid misunderstandings about exactly what has been
approved.
Torjesen stated that he felt the proponent had been acting in good
faith in proceeding with the project. He said he felt the
developer's agreement was not followed, however, by the proponents.
Gartner stated that she felt the the intent of the "no fewer than
eight (8) buildings" clause of the developer's agreement was to
provide for a less dense appearance for the area.
Steve Swanson, Ryan Construction, gave a brief review of the
proposal and uses suggested for the site. He pointed out where and
how the proposal would fit into the approved plan for the City West
Planning Commission Minutes 6 May 23, 1983
PUD per Exhibit B of the developer's agreement for the site.
Hallett questioned in which areas the project did not comply with
the approved developer's agreement. Staff responded that there were
two areas: 1) It was not a 100% office use; and, 2) It was not
148,000 sq. ft., but more. Staff pointed out that the eight (8) or
more buildings were to be included within sites A-C as depicted on
Exhibit B of the developer's agreement. Four buildings were being
proposed for lots B and C at this time. Site A was still available
for location of additional buildings.
Hallett stated that he felt it was necessary for the Commission to
consider only the approved PUD as acted upon by the City Council.
He added that he considered it a substantial change from the version
recommended for approval by the Planning Commission.
The Commission discussed the developer's agreement in greater detail
with the Planning Staff.
Marhula pointed out that the request before the Planning Commission
was for amendment to the previously approved PUD. He stated that he
felt the Commission should be dealing with the He
proposed.
Johannes stated that he felt the Commission should judge this plan
on its own merits with the base of the developer's agreement which
was approved.
Gartner asked if the buildings would be owner-occupied or leased.
Al Schackman, Ryan Construction, responded that they would be
leased.
Mr. Schackman asked if the percentages of uses proposed by Staff for
warehousing, assembling, and office, were to be based on a per unit
basis or on a project basis. Staff responded that it would be based
on an overall project basis. Johannes stated that he felt
administration and enforcement of such percentages would be quite
difficult. He suggested that the developer be allowed to monitor
this privately as, if it did become a problem, the developer would
be the one facing the dissatisfied tenants. It would, therefore, be
in the developer's best interest to make sure the percentages worked
now.
Johannes stated that he felt it was more important to deal with how
the project looked externally and how fit into the existing
surroundings.
Chairman Bearman stated that he felt problems might develop with the
covenants proposed by the City Attorney in that he was not certain
that the covenants would provide sufficient control over uses
allowed within the district by right according the the City Code.
Planner Enger stated that this was a proposed PUD District and
zoning request. It would be taking the I-2 zone and supplement it
with the PUD District to accommodate the proposed uses. Enforcement
would be based on the overlying and underlying zones.
Planning Commission Minutes 7 May 23, 1983
Torjesen stated that he felt the proposal was an attractive one in
terms of design and concept. However, the problem was trying to
make this proposal fit on this site, given the decisions that had
been reached with respect to this site previously. He stated that,
based on this, he did not feel this project, as good as it was,
would be appropriate for this site.
Johannes stated that, whether the property was zoned I-2 or Office
would not have a bearing on what the surrounding residents would
view in terms of roofing on the structures. A pitch and gravel roof
for either type of construction would look the same. Johannes added
that many of the homes indicating concern for this project were
higher in elevation and would be looking down on roofs regardless of
the type of zoning requested by proponent.
Chairman Bearman asked if sight lines had been prepared from the
existing structures to the proposed structures. Mr. Swanson
presented several sight lines which had been prepared, indicating
the view from each to the proposed structures. Basically, the top
six feet of the structures proposed would be visible from the
existing residential structures.
Chairman Bearman stated that he would prefer to vary the Office
izoning district to allow for the industrial types of uses, rather
than varying the Industrial zoning district to allow the office
types of uses, since the majority use of the structures would be for
office purposes. He added that he felt it would be more appropriate
to use the strictest district possible for enforcement purposes.
Marhula stated that he agreed.
Mr. Schackman stated that, at the time of application, it was
determined to apply for variance to the I-2 District, rather than
the Office District, because the I-2 District allowed for office,
assembly, and warehouse uses--the Office District did not allow for
assembly or warehouse uses. He added that the type of clientele he
would attract to these structures would not be looking for any other
mix of uses. They would not be interested in the high percentage of
warehouse space or assembly space allowed under I-2 zoning. Mr.
Schackman stated that the list of non-permitted uses suggested by
the Staff Report represented uses which would not be interested in
the ratios of office/assembly/warehouse space which would be
constructed in this building. A building which is office-looking in
appearance attracts the clientele for this project, whereas it would
not attract those non-permitted uses.
Chairman Bearman asked for questions and comments from members of
the audience.
• Warren Gerreke, 6622 Golden Ridge, stated that the owners were
planning only multiple residential use for the land. He stated that
the property had changed from low density residential to industrial
park type of development as proposed. He suggested that if this
project were allowed to be industrial, it would encourage the
Planning Commission Minutes 8 May 23, 1983
remainder of the City West project to be developed as industrial.
Mr. Gerreke stated that he did not feel it would be possible to
screen this site from the residents on Golden Ridge in any way.
Jerry Steelman, 6601 Golden Ridge Road, stated that he, too, was
concerned that the type of use had increased in intensity from low
density residential to industrial.
Scott Anderson, owner of the City West property, reviewed the other
uses in process for various parcels within the City West PUD,
including a hotel, banking, office facility, and two remaining
vacant parcels still being marketed. He pointed out that the
improvements for the entire project were underway at this time.
Dick Feerick, 6518 4eesborough, stated that he felt the people
located on Golden Ridge Drive had been living there many years and
invested in their property based on what they knew to be the
development plan for the area. He stated that he felt this PUD
would have a signficant impact on their neighborhood, which should
be taken into consideration by the City in their decision-making
about any development in the area.
Mr. Schackman stated that Ryan Construction had every intention of
• producing a quality project, not only for themselves, but for the
community. He stated that they were willing to work with the City
and the neighborhood in any manner possible to mitigate the problems
people felt existed regarding their proposal. Mr. Schackman stated
that he felt there was no conflict between the list of non-permitted
uses suggested by Staff and the types of tenants they had proposed
for their structures.
MOTION 1 :
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Marhula, to close the public
hearing.
Motion carried--6-0-0
MOTION 2:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Torjesen, to recommend
denial of the Planned Unit Development District Review and Planned
Unit Development Amendment, based on plans dated March 25, 1983, and
written materials dated March 30, 1983, for office/service/storage
uses for City West Business Center by Ryan Construction, due to land
use considerations involving the proposed uses by proponent versus
those which were approved by previous action. of the City.
During discussion of the motion, Torjesen stated that he felt,
• although the project was clearly a quality, well designed project,
the uses proposed were not appropriate in this location,
particularly based on the fact that the approved Planned Unit
Development for the City West project was to be office, not
Planning Commission Minutes 9 May 23, 1983
• industrial .
Gartner stated that she had three major objections to the proposal :
1) The proposal had greater square footage than was approved under
the City West PUD, which approved 148,000 sq. ft., whereas the
proposal was for 174,000 sq. ft. ; 2) The proposed development did
not follow the intent of the of the approved developer's agreement,
especially with respect to visual impact; and 3) The proposal would
be more appropriate as an Office use with variances for warehousing
and assembly, rather than Industrial use with variances for the
amount of office.
Motion failed--3-3-0 (Chairman Bearman, Gartner, and Torjesen in
favor; Hallett, Johannes, and Marhula
against)
Marhula stated that he felt it was important to make it clear to the
developer what the objections of the Commission were. He stated
that he felt the site plan had validity and was well designed.
Marhula expressed concern for the use of the I-2 zone, as opposed to
the Office zone for this project. He stated that he felt it would
not be possible to keep the uses from turning into completely I-2
uses in the future as the I-2 uses were allowed by right in the
zone. Marhula suggested that the City may wish to consider an
additional zoning district for such hybrid uses for the future.
Torjesen stated that he was concerned that the legislative intent of
the original Planned Unit Development for City West had not been
followed. He stated that he felt the developer's agreement did not,
as written, allow for such uses as proposed by Ryan Construction;
however, he agreed that the plan was well designed and attractive.
Torjesen questioned whether the communication process between the
City and the citizens was adequate in that he agreed with Gartner
that there should be some manner of notifying the residents when
changes were made to a development after the public hearing process.
Torjesen added that, regarding land use for this area, he was
concerned that the property had been changed from low density
residential, to high density residential to office, and, if
approved, to industrial over a period of several years. He stated
that he felt the impact on the neighborhood of such changes had been
tremendous.
Johannes noted that he voted against the denial of the project as he
felt the positive features of the design and the uses proposed
outweighed the negatives. He stated that he felt the City needed to
remain flexible enough to allow for the dynamics of the business
world and its changing needs, and felt the use was an appropriate
choice for this project.
. Johannes reiterated concern for setting definite percentages of
office/assembly/warehouse uses for the use. He stated that he felt
this should be left to the control of the developer. He added that
he felt the concerns for visual impact and image within the existing
Planning Commission Minutes 10 May 23, 1983
• neighborhood, as well as use impact upon the existing neighborhood,
were more important. Johannes stated that, as far as these
concerns, he felt the Ryan Construction project was a good use for
the area.
Hallett stated that he felt the buildings did appear to be "office-
like" in appearance, and that, from that point of view, he felt the
project fit the location. He added that he felt the lesser traffic,
the maximum 30 ft. height, and the berming and landscaping of the
site were all positive features of the development as proposed.
Hallett also stated that the buildings were well designed with
consideration given to minimizing visual impact upon the adjacent
neighborhood by locating the truck areas at the interior, out of
sight.
Hallett questioned the advisability of exceeding the 148,000 maximum
square footage requirement of the approved developer's agreement for
the site. He agreed with Marhula that the City needed to remain
flexible to allow for the changes taking place in businesses and
asked if guidelines could be developed for both the developers and
the Commission to deal with "high tech" uses.
Gartner said that she was aware that the citizens in the surrounding
neighborhood had participated in the two Comprehensive Guide Plan
. hearings dealing with this area, and that she was convinced that
they were trying to take an active part in the processes of the
City. At these times, the City had told the neighborhood what the
uses would be. She stated that she felt the City had a
responsibility to follow through on what had been approved and that
she did not feel this project fit the approval of record.
Chairman Bearman stated that he felt the request should be for
variance to the Office District, not the I-2 Park District. He
stated that he agreed with other Commissioners that the project was
well designed. He restated concern that covenants would not be
sufficient to deter eventual I-2 uses within the structures, as
opposed to the special mix with office as proposed by Ryan
Construction, if the buildings were sold in the future.
MOTION 3:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Torjesen, to recommend
denial of zoning from Rural to I-2 based on plans dated March 25,
1983 and written materials dated March 30, 1983 for
office/service/storage uses for City West Business Center by Ryan
Construction, based on a finding of non-compliance with the original
intent of the approved developer's agreement in terms of land use
for the City West Planned Unit Development.
Motion carried--4-2-0 (Chairman Bearman, Gartner, Marhula, and
Torjesen in favor; Hallett and Johannes
against)

0
MOTION 4:
Motion was made by Gartner, seconded by Torjesen, to recommend
denial of the preliminary plat of 14.05 acres into two lots based on
plans dated March 25, 1983 and written materials dated March 30,
1983 for office/service/storage uses for City West Business Center
by Ryan Construction, based on the land use, only.
Torjesen stated that he wanted it to be clear that the motion was
proposed for denial based on the fact that if the land use and
zoning for the proposal are not approved, then it is moot to
recommend approval of a proposed preliminary plat based on proposed
land use and zoning for the project. The preliminary plat was not
being voted upon, nor reviewed against the Code and compliance with
City requirements.
Motion failed--3-3-0 (Chairman Bearman, Gartner, and Torjesen in
favor; Hallett, Johannes, and Marhula,
against)
E. WELSH CONSTRUCTION, INC. Request for Rezoning of 1 .5 acres
from Rural and RI-22 to Office, and Preliminary Plat of 1.5
acres for office land use. Location: North of W. 78th
. Street and east of Schooner Boulevard. A public hearing.
Dennis Doyle, Welsh Construction, introduced the request and
reviewed the features of the site as proposed for development. He
stated that Welsh Construction would be moving their corporate
headquarters into this building, occupying half of the structure,
and would lease out the remaining space until such time as growth of
their firm allowed them to occupy the entire building.
Darryl Anderson, architect for the proponent, reviewed the structure
features with the Commission.
Planner Enger pointed out the Staff concerns regarding this project,
including storm drainage, access to W. 78th' Street, and slopes.
Chairman Bearman asked why the proponent had not presented signage
or landscaping plans for the project. Mr. Doyle stated that they
were not completed, but that their intentions were to comply with
City Code requirements regarding these two matters.
Chairman Bearman asked for comments and questions from members of
the audience. There were none.
