Edenvale Development Proposal. t' The Planning Commission reviewed the up dated ap,,31ication booklet prepared by Oak Manor Corporation. Mr. Don Peterson of Eden Land Corporation was present and represented the applicant. The Village Manager presented a memorandum dated August 30, 1971 , in which he set forth his review c^d-recommendations on the proposal. He reported that the basic design concepts appeared to be in accord with standards imposed by both the Edenvale PUD plans and the Villages development objectives. He noted that the proposal would need to be reviewed its final form by the Purgatory Creek Watershed District and that the Village would need to review the final utility extension proposals. He said that the preliminary proposals for both watershed protection and utilities extensions were adequate. The Manager's memorandum commented on the need for additional Village review of the homeowner association convenent and restrictions. He reported that the Village attorney currently had the matter under consideration and that the Village hoped to be able to develop appropriate language protecting the Village's interests which could be inserted In all the home- owners association documents with the Village. He suggested that no bu lding permits be issued until these association documents had been prepared and approved. The Commission disucssed the anticipated cost of the proposed condominiums units with Mr. Peterson. It was the general consensus of the Commission that the developer should be incouraged to keep the cost as low as possible without sacraficing project enviommental qualities or unit suitability. Mr. Peterson said that they were not in a position to make a definate commitment as to the anticipated cost of the unit but would try to keep them as low as possible. Mrs. Schee moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the Council that it approve the Oak Mangy: Corporation development stage proposal and reclassify the property from Zoning District Rural to RM-2.5. Mr. Brown seconded. The motion carried unanimously. Planning & Zoning Minutes August 31, 1971 Page 2 B. Edenvale Commercial Center Proposal. Edenvale Concept Plan, The Village Manager presented a memorandum dated August 30, 1971, relating to this proposal in which he reviewed the Village's previous and existing commercial center planning concepts and recommended that these concepts be reevaluated before the Village authorize any further small commercial center development. The memorandum noted that the Village's Comprehensive Guide Plan did not contemplate the development of small neighborhood service units but that a great deal of cdntemporary planning, particularily in the new town areas, actively promoted this concept. Following some discussion on the need and possible scope of such a study, Mrs. Meyers moved that the Edenvale commercial center proposal be tabled and not reconsidered until after the Commission had had an opportunity to review the entire question of basic neighbor-hood commercial facilities. Mr. Emerson seconded. Motion carried unanimously. The Commission urged the Village Manager to include a study of the type suggested in his memorandum in the Commission's late 1971 or 1972 work program. II. MINUTES OF JULY 26 , 1971 These minutes were approved without correction. Meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. Norma Schee, Secretary.
