Mr. Don Ripple), planner, appeared on behalf of the applicant, Jess B. Cohen, to present their proposed planned unit concept plan for the property situated between County Road 4 and Fuller Road and south of Trunk Highway 5. Mr. Ripple reviewed the content of their application report dated February 16, 1971. The proposal provided for the expansion of the Stewart Infra-Red and Fuller Pharmaceutical industrial properties, and the establishment of commercial-office properties along County Road 4 and in the southeast quadrant of the County Road 4 and Trunk Highway 5 intersection. He listed a restaurant and office building as possible uses of the portion of the proposed commercial area represented by Mr. Cohen. Mr. Crane, representing American Oil Company, advised that they owned a three to four acre tract at the intersection of the two roads and that they proposed to build a gas station on that property. Mr. Crane said that the American Oil Company had secured driveway permits from the State and County Highway Departments in 1964 and that these permits were still valid. The Commission accepted the proposal for consideration and asked that a staff report be prepared for consideration at the Commission's March 2 meeting. Planning & Zoning Minutes February 2, 1971 Page 2 B. O. S. McCormick. Property Division. 10131 Eden Prairie Road. Plat 56980 Parcel 1530. Mrs. McCormick's request was presented by the Village Manager who noted that the purpose of the proposed division was to divide Mrs. McCormick's hillside property into two tracts. The smaller of which to be used for the site of Mrs. McCormick's home. The larger tract is to be sold. He presented a map indicating the property configurations in the area. He said that the irregular platting pattern was established many years ago and would be difficult to change at this time because of homes having been constructed in reliance on that pattern. Mrs. McCormick's smaller tract had an area of approximately 1.4 acres and its limits were established on the basis of a fence surrounding her home. He recommended that the division be approved subject to a restriction being placed on the remaining and larger parcel preventing further divisions until such time as the Village had approved an overall platting plan for the property. i Following some discussion relative to the ownership of the adjacent tracts and the reason for the irregular property division line, Mr. Emerson moved that the Commission recommend to the Council that it approve the property division submitted by Mrs. McCormick. Mr. Geiger seconded. All voted aye, motion carried. IV. RECOMMENDATIONS AND REPORTS A. Advertising Sign Ordinance. The Commission reviewed its final re- commendation draft noting particularly those provisions that had been amended at the time of final Commission action on the matter. The Manager advised that the Council had requested that the Commission prepare a recommendation as to where the advertising signs zones should be established: He indicated that a staff recommendation on this subject would be presented at the Commission's next meeting. He also noted that the Council had tentatively established March 9th as a hearing date on the proposed advertising sign ordinance. B. Proposed 1971 Utility System Construction Program. The proposed 1971 sanitary sewer and water works systems development program was reviewed by the Manager. He advised that the Village Council would consider the program at its meeting on February 9th. • C. "Ring Route" Design Study Proposal.

He noted that the proposed study procedure involved a great deal of participation by the Planning Commission. D. Meetina with Minnetonka. It was reported that a meeting between the Eden Prairie and Minnetonka Councils, Planning Commissions and Park Commissions had been tentatively scheduled for February 18. The purpose of the meeting would be to consider preliminary proposals for the Crosstown highway extension, joint park development in the Rowland Road area and the possible joint development of a municipal golf course in northwest Eden Prairie. The tentative agenda also provided time for discussion of housing policies. The Manager advised that a conflict had developed with the February 18th date and that a new date had not been established. The Commission agreed that this meeting would constitute its second or planning meeting for February. Meeting adjourned at 9:35 P.M.
