Modern Tire Co. Property Division. Mr. John Crouch, an attorney representing Modern Tire Co. presented his clients proposal to divide approximately 2.32 acres of land from a larger parcel situated to the rear of Modern Tire Co. business location. He said they proposed to add the new parcel to the existing land with the combined property having an area of 3.05 acres. He reviewed the history of the property divisions within the immediate vicinity of his client's property. THe Manager recommended that the easterly line of the proposed parcel be moved approximately 178 feet to the west to that it would coinside with established property lines to the north and south. Mr. Crouch asked if his client might be able to consider some alternate proposal to that suggested by the Manager. Mr. Emerson moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the Council that a division of property be approved providing that its easterly boundry be not more than 560 feet easterly of the right-of- way of TH 169 Such a limitation would place easterly lot lines in alighnment with property lines to the north and south. Mrs. Meyers seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried. B. Vern Welin, Pro ert Division. This application was presented by the Manager, who recommended that it be approved subject to the remaining portions of lots 11 and 12 and all of lot 13 of Eden Prairie Acres being combined into a single parcel. He noted that the applicant proposed to divide off approximately three acres from the larger tract. The three acres would have approximately 211 feet of frontage along Bennett Place and would be 445 feet deep. Mr. Skjelbostad moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the Council that the proposed division be approved subject to the limitations recommended by the Manager. Mr. LaGrow seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried. C. Elias Amdur. Property Division. The Manager presented a proposal to establish a lot having a frontage of 100 feet and a depth of 450 feet in the Eden Heights Addn. between Hilltop Road and Valley Road. He noted that the parcel would be similar in size to other previously established in that area and that it would be situated between two established residences. He re- commended that it be approved subject to a limitation that any house cun- structed on the parcel would have to be built on the Hilltop Road frontage in view of the fact that Valley Road is an unimproved road. Mr. Raguet moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the Council that the proposed division be approved. Mr. Emerson seconded. All voted aye. Motion carried. 'III. RECOMMENDATIONS AND REPORTS A. Ochs Brick and Tile Cd. T.H.5 Mr. Clarence Hoakstra, representing Ochs Brick and Tile Co. , presented t eir proposal for a rezoning of land located north of T.H.5 and immediately east of the Chicago and North Western Railroad. The present zoning of the property is Planned Study District and the requested zoning is I-General . A Staff report dated May 19th was presented and discussed wiht the Commission. the report noted the unique environmental as- pects of the site and recommended that the requested rezoning be approved subject to further review and approval of specific site plans. Mr. LaGrow asked why the six acre tract might be considered for I-General zoning, which permits screened storage, while properties along Highway 5 to the east would probably be restricted to zoning which excluded screened open storage. The Manager noted the existance of the T.H.5 overpass fill and the railroad em- bankment along two sides of the site and the existance of established industrial uses to the east. Both of the adjacent uses have outside storage. The Manager said he did not feel that there were any other sites along Highway 5 with similar characteristics and would thus be entitled to similar zoning. Mr. Raguet moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the Council that the request of Ochs Brick and Tile Co. for I-General zoning of their six acre parcel be approved. Mr. Emerson seconded. Messers LaGrow, Raguet, Emerson, and Skjelbostad voted aye. Mrs. Meyers voted no. Motion carried. B. Don Anderson Proposed Gravel Mining Shady Oak Road. The Manager submitted a staff—report on Don Anderson's request to establish a gravel mine on property situated immediately west of Shady Oak Road and south of the Cross- town Highway. The report concluded by suggesting that mining to the extent proposed was not necessary to develope the property for residential use. The Manager said he would have a full report available for the Commission to con- sider at its June 2 meeting. C."The Preserve".. iir4 George Carter, representing the developers of "The Preserve", presented additional information about their project in response to the application requirements established by the recently adopted PUD procedure outline. The Manager noted that the application was now almost complete and that a staff report on the project wauld be prepared to that the Commission might consider the concept of the proposal. D. Edina Building Inc. Duck Lake Trail . Mr. Don RippbT, a planner re- presenting Edina Building Inc. , reported on the substance of a meeting he and the Village Manager had with the residents in the vicinity of their proposed multiple family project. He said there had been a good exchange of views between all concerned and that as a result of the meeting a revised proposal had been prepared. He presented and explained the revisions. The Manager recommended that further Commission consideration of the proposal be deferred until the meeting of June 2. Novaction taken. E. Village Sanitary Sewer and Waterworks Proposals.
