The Village Manager reported the request of Mr. L.P. arrett to divide a 3.04 parcel of land situated between County Road 4 and Westgate Lane into two parcels, the smallest of which would have an area of 0.6 acres. The Manager noted that the proposed division generally con- formed to the anticipated platting pattern in the Westgate area but that the smaller of the two parcels would not be considered buildable site until such time as Westgate lane was extended. He indicated he advised the R proposed owner of the property, Mr. Makinen, of this restriction. Mr. A: Emerson moved that the Commission recommend to the Council that the proposed L division of parcel 880 Section 8 be approved. Mr. Raguet seconded. All (_ voted aye. Motion carried. IV. PRESENTATIONS A. The preserve First Addition. Mr. George Carter presented their proposed Ld preliminary plat for the Preserve First Addition. His presentation included U) review of the relationship between the first addition and the overall "The < Preserve" concept plan as well as the detail of the proposed street arrange- ment. He presented a letter dated October 20, 1970, setting forth his proposal for the substance of the development agreement between the Village and the developer. He also indicated that they intend to indentify and con- vey the 22 acre elementary school-park site as a part of their first addition. consideration. The first addition is located generally south of the Sander home and between Neil Lake and Anderson Lake. It contains approximately 93 0 acres. The Commission received the proposals for study and asked that a ro staff report be submitted at the first November meeting. B. In The Hills. Mr. Harvey Coleman, representing Bor-Son Corporation, advised the Commission that they had worked their proposal in consideration of the recommendations in the October 6, staff report. Mr. Ben Gingold, project architect, then presented the revised proposal . The most significant changes were represented by a shift in location of the first phase develop- ment and activity center from the Bryant Lake shoreline to the central portion of the site; a reduction in development density within the land ad- jacent to the lake; and, a designeation of the 1975 and 1977 development phases (Villages 4 and 5) simply as high density rather than a specific number of dwellings units. Planning & Zoning October 20, 1970 Page 2 Mr. Gingold said that the developer concurred that the actual development of the overall! project should be geared to the adequacy of public facilities and services to accomodate it and that the actual number, size, or location of structures to be built beyond 1972 should be based on conditions that exist at that time rather than what is now expected to occur within the surrounding areas at those future dates. Mr. Coleman indicated that he still hoped to be able to construct between 1200 to 1600 units on the property, but that he agreed that committments of this magnitude by the Village should be deferred until such time as many of the uncertainties relative to freeway access, Commercial zoning, etc. were resolved. Chairman LaGrow commented that the Commission was at this time considering only the concepts involved in the proposal and that teh basic question was one of generalized land use rather than the specific number or arrangement of structures. He said he felt the Commission would have to carefully consider the impact of the proposal on the overall Village as well as the areas immediately adjacent to the site. Mr. Don Sorenson, representing the Bryapt Lake residents, said that his group would like to have an opportunity to have the revised proposal reviewed by their planning consultant. He asked that copies of the new proposal be furnished to them as soon as possible. The Commission agreed to continue its consideration of this matter and asked that it be placed on the agenda for the first meeting in November. V. RECOMMENDATIONS AND REPORTS A. enva e Industrfii ar . The Village Manager reported that since the last Commission meeting the Eden Land Corporation had proposed some changes to the preliminary plat which the Commission approved at its October 6, meeting. The plat will be considered by the Council on October 27th. The Commission reviewed a comparison of the previously approved and now proposed plats and noted that the change consisted primarily of a westerly relingment of the extension of Mitchell Road in the vicinity of Purgatory Creek. The Manager noted that the relocation would reduce the length of street in the plat, provide one additional industrial site along the east side of Mitchell Road and reduce the public land (creek flood plain) frontage along Mitchell Road He noted that the last item would reduce visability of the public space but would add to the developable and accessable street frontage. Mr. Nesbitt moved that the Commission recommend to the Council that the re- vised preliminary plat of Edenvale Industrial Park be approved. Mr. Emerson seconded.- All vnted aye. Motion carried. B. November Meeting Date. The Commission noted that its first regular meeting in November fell on November 3rd, election day, and agreed to re- schedule that meeting for Monday, November 2, 1970 at 7:30 P.M. Village Hall .
