Chairman none S. Fikuiy, Councils vresentative absent In Pauly' s absence, the planner reported the city attorney is redrafting the Planning 6 Zoning Coamission _Ordinane. And the draft will be d; -tributed for the cwmission's review. Sorensen suggested the eomaeission also review the board of Appeals and Adjustr..ents Ordinance as the Flaiiniag S Zoning Commission has the right to review and commey�t on actions of the Board of Appeals and Adjustments .

Lynch inquired if the commission would like to try the council 's present system of adjourning meetings at 11 :30 P11 unless a motion is passed unanimously to go beyond that time. Motion: Lynch moved, Sundstrom seconded, to adjourn all Planning & Zoning Commission meetings at 11 :30 PM unless a motion is passed unanimously to go beyond that time. Discussion: Bearman felt it may be difficult to stop an item right at 11 :30 PM. 11,.a planner stated the council does finish the ite: they are on, and then votes on whether to continue with further items on the agenda or to adjourn . Sorensen opposed the 11 :30 PM adjournment because: 1. The commission has an obligation and duty to handle all items on the agenda. Notices are mailed prior to meetings and if indivi- duals stay through the meeting for an item it would be unfair to adjourn and require them to return another date. 2. No reasonable way to achieve the intent of the motion unless there is more flexibility. 3. If the commission has an arbitrary cut off time then the audience may receive the impression that the items are handled arbitrarily. Lynch felt the commission should attempt to finish agendas by 11 :30 PM-and he would be Milling to attend council meetings to see how the adjournment = at 11 :30 works for the council . Vote: The motion f3: led 2:3 with Fosnocht and Lynch voting aye. Soa-ensen directed the staff to prepare procedures in order to achieve the motion 's intent. I1'. REPORTS AND RFCOWtiNDATIONS Public/Private PUDs A. Miley Sprinkler System, Co. Rd. I/ US 169 The planner reported the agenda and staff report. was mailed Friday A.M. to the landowners and the staff_ had not had a, opportunity to meet with the landowners . The planner reviewed the report and the reconimendat i ons of: 1 . designate the study area as an industrial/multiple PUD,and 2. rezoning of the Miley Sprinkler site to 1-2 Nark. Bearman inquired as to the status of the US 169/Co. Rd. 1 intersection ijr.15'rovements . The planner replied a county improvement contract J. square intersection and signals, is expected to be let in 1978 with completion - expected late 1978. Sundstrom, referring to page 9, asked how the noise influence line was drawn and if the line would be compatible with future residential development . The planner stated the line was a determination from footprints , as depicted in the MAC report or, Flying Cloud Airport. The drop in elevation and the distance from the airport determined the area of reduced impact. - 9E:' SdL. �►���'�.�ars_ ar� �,sr a�x.r. approved Planning & Zoning Commission -3- Jan. 24, 1977 Mr. Kortz, 13420 Picr_eer 'trail , inquired when the $SO/acre charge would be due .' The planner responded that if the amount , or some other amount , is approved by the council, then it would be payable at the time of site development . Sorensen , referring to Figure 1, suggested the city staff investigate if any county deed restrictions still exist at the northwest corner of the intersection. Sorensen asked why the staff is suggesting -Miley use a holding tank while other uses wait for city sewer and water. The planner stated the Miley use will be a low sewer user and that the other uses are not anticipated for some time and can be dealt with at the time of application. Sorensen questioned if the proposed multiple land could be used for single family. The planner believed because of the site's proximity to future industrial and the noise of the airport, the site would be inappropriate for single family. He also believed it would be difficult to place lots on the slopes and would require an expensive street system to serve a limited number of lots. Sorensen then asked if Mr. Gjertsen would be dedicating the hill and slope area. The planner stated he was unsure whether it would be dedicated or if the proponent would pay the cash in lieu, of land fee. Mr. Bcarman asked if the staff had received any l.ur_dow-nerr input . The staff replied negative. ® Pfr. Kortz stated he and his neighbors ors had received and read the report . lie stated s as long as the use does not smell he does not object . Motion 1 : Beamman moved, Lynch seconded . to recommend approval of the Co. Rd. 1/US 169 Planned Unit Development for approximately 25 acres as outlined in the staff report dated 1-19-77. Discussion: Sunustrom suggested including an alternative to the multiple shown . Beamman felt if no residential type is recommended, the owners would have no assurances. Amendment : Sorensen moved, Sundstrom seconded , that the recommendation for pud approval is made with deletion of specific type of residential usz on the northern portion of the pud leaving it to the future developer to determine which residential use he feels appropriate. Motion Amendment : The motion amendment carried 4 :0 :1 with Lynch abstaining. Motion as Amended:The notion as amended carried 4 :0 :1 with Lynch abstaining. Motion 2 : Beaman moved, Sundstrom seconded, to recommend rezoning of the approximate 2 acre Miley Sprinkler site from Rural to 1-2 Park as first phase implementation of the US 169/Co. Rd. 1 PUP as per the staff report dated 1 -19-77 . Discussion: Beamman suggested the staff underline the first sentence in the 2nd T under "G. Utility Schematic", page 11, assuring the understanding that Miley's site mould be the only use to have a holding tank. .+ii.: E`�tl7�i�Ik�t� +D+'SIAtrG. _ st.•s-v.s�aic..rss�w�- �-ster-a.....s+•c approved Planning & Zoning Commission -4- Jan. 24, 1977 Vote on Motion 2 : - The motion carried 4 :0: 1 with Lyn.-h abstaining.

The planner informed the commission Mr. Moe, representing Kamstra Communications Inc. , owner of 6 acres in the southeast corner of 4/5, desires retaining the property' s commercial zoning and will be submitting additional comments. Mr. Red path, 16308 Lincoln Lane emphasized the need for an effective screening plan p _ g and complained that the previous screening was not properly done. Mr. Berne, 7332 Franklin Circle, felt new industrial uses would increase traffic on Co. Rd. 4 and :asked if it was to be improved to 4 lanes. The planner responded the road is maintained and improved by the county and is not contained in the county's 5 year improvement program other than for safety improvements. Mr. Robertson, 16417 Lincoln Lane, favored Alternate D and stressed the importance of enforcing an adequate landscaping bond. Mr. Andrew Justus, landowneer, stated he felt the planner did a comprehensive plan and he and other owners would like art opportunity to meet with staff and discuss the alternatives.

PETITIONS AND REQUESTS PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Walnut Addition, by Dirlam Properties. Request to preliminary plat and rezone 7. 7 acres from ki-22 to xm 2 . 5 and Km b.5 for double bur_gaiows and apartment units. The site is located in the northeast corner of Valley View Road and Co. Rd. 4. Dennis Dirlam, Dirlam Properties, stated he is requesting that the 7 . 7 acres be rezoned to allow 16 doubles and 2 lots for '8 plexes. The duplexes would be 2 stories with garages . Sorensen, referring to page 3 of the 12-29-76 submission, asked why it is not believed economically possible to develop the site as R1-22. Mr. Dirlam stated the cost of thelots under the R1-22 zoning would be very expensive and dictate higher cost single family than is reasonable for the site. He believed very few R'_-22 lots are being developed in Eden Prairie because of the cost . Sorensen asked how many stories the duplexes would be. Mr. Dirlam replied 1-1 . 5 x Bearman, r the�o page 1 ,#4, inquired �f _he developer would proceed with the project if the school is not built at Round Lake. Mr. Dirlam replied affirmative as a market exists for the units whether the school is built or not . Fosnocht asked, considering existing surrounding land uses, why the applicant felt the proposed land uses are appropriate for this s.:te. Mr. Dirlam, responded that since Co. Rd. 4 is such a busy street he believes the site would be mor;; appropriate for the duplexes than, single family. Fosnocht remarked that the nursery stock on the site is planted in rows and may be difficult to retain. He asked what percentage of the stock the applicant Feels will be retained. Mr. Dirlam estimated up to 90% could be retained or transplanted . I Sorensen asked how wide the lots are in the Estheihills Addition that adjoin this proposal . Mr. Dirlam estimated 100 feet Gordon Carlson, 7352 Franklin Circle, on behalf of approximately 47 families sur- rounding the proposal , submitted a petition with sig^atures opposing the rezoning of Walnut Addition ( petition attached ) . He ctated some of the single family homeowners would not have bought lots if they had known this site could be changed to multiple. They believed the project is inconsistent with the s-urrounding single family character and should not be rezoned. Tom Bartel, EP 'dews, asked when the property was zoned to R1-22 and if the Guide Plan depicts the area as multiple. The planner estimated the property was zoned in 1959 and the Guide Plan does show M3 in this general area. Mr. Ron Conley, 7305 Franklin Circle. stated he believes the proposal will be inconsistent with the surrounding single family of one-half acre lots. Don Peterson, Edenvale Inc. , stated multiple is shown on the Guide Plan for this site and across Valley View Road. Al Upton , 16163 Edenwood ar:lve, believed the access to the proposal is too close to the C o. Rd. 4/ Valley View Road intersection. approved Flanning & Zoning Commission -6- Jan. 249 1977 Don Berne, 7332 Franklin Circle, believed the grading required on the site would dictate tree removal and expressed concern that in the spring water runoff from, the site passes through his yard and driveway. Jerry Rose, 7336 Franklin Circle, believed the project would adversely affect the single family values. He felt the distance between single family and multiple should be greater than the distance in this proposal. Mr. Dirlam stated he lives 1/2 mile from the Proposal and believes the proposal will be beneficial to the city. Marco Jones, 163S4 Edenwood Drive, stated he developed Edenwood Ridge and at the time of development he was told to align Augusta Lane so that it would correspond with the proposed single family plat for this area. Mari Dragseth, 15071 Summerhill Drive, inquired about the costs of the units, tax benefits and if they would be owner occupied units. Mr. Dirlam replied the duplexes would probably be owner occupied on one side and the other side rented out . Ae units wou; J cost approximately $40,000 apiece , and he believes the tax benefit to the city would be greater than if the site is developed as single family. Tom Bartel , inquired how such the 8 plexes would rent for. Dirlam replied $ 22S-250 and they could possibly in the future be converted to ownership units. Motion • I.vnch moved, Rearman seconded, to continue the public hearing of Walnut Addition, to the corurissions Feb 14th meeting and instruct the staff to prepare a report and recommendations.

Mr. Helle staved his request is very simple, 4 acres per lot and sewer and walker are available and will be worked out with the City Engineer. He stated he has tried to sell the property, but buyerm, want zoning. He felt the zoning will be consistent with the Guide FIan and he will retain the tree line between the property and Hillger ' s and Bearman 's hoiaes. He expressed his opposition to Co. Rd. 39 going through his property and objected to the road system proposed by the Smetana Lake Report . lk-aman gtiestioned which way Co. Rd. 39 would be relocated . The planner replied the ,runty will be addressing t7ic issue and the city may be seeking traffic consultants ' assistance in reevaluating the road system in this area of the &ietana bake Sector. The planner stated one problem with widening Valley View is that as it crosses the creek it is li-sited to the existing right-of-way and no adCftlonal right-of-way can be -acquired because of park dedication along Nine Mile Creek. Mr, Bill Perarson stated he has no -objection with the roan bystems.
