ITEM 8-2-66Z PUBLIC HEARING
BREN, KUSISTO, DVORAK, GREGUSON, WRIGHT PROPERTY request to rezone from R-A
and R-C to C-2. Notes, etc. , are in Hearing file No. 16.
Mr. Hawkes presented a written report on this matter. A motion was made by
Anthony Hirt, seconded by Ralph Nesbitt to accept the report from Mr. Hawkes and
the written memorandum of Mr. Gerald D. Hagstrom, attorney for a group of home
owners in the area #nd to place these on file.
This motion carried.
There was much discussion bn the matter and Mr. Hawkes read his report. Mr. Hag-
strom read his memorandum, other people had their say all of which is recorded in
the Hearing File. Mr. Miller asked if they were ready for action. A motion was
made by Albert Picha, seconded by Dr. Wright to rezone the area to C-2 as per the
petition. Upon a roll call vote, Albert Picha voted yes, Anthony Hirt voted no,
Cecil Cruse voted no, Dr. Wright voted yes, Ralph Nesbitt voted no, Arthur Miller
voted yes.
The vote was 3 no's and 3 yes's. Therefore the motion was denied. Anthony Hirt then
made a motion seconded by Cecil Cruse to recommend to the Council to deny the petition.
Albert Picha voted no, Anthony Hirt voted yes, Cecil Cruse voted yes, Dr. Wright
voted no, Ralph Nesbitt voted no, and Arthur Miller abstained.
There being 2 no's, 3 yes's, and an abstain, the motion was denied.
Ralph Nesbitt explained the reason for his voting the way he did on the last motion
was that he felt that study should be made of the area before a decision was reached.
A motion was then made by Anthony Hirt, seconded by Dr. Wright to ask for an opinion
from the Village attorney. As to the Greguson property, an operation being handled
in an R-A District rather then having to make a rezoning for this.
Mr. Greguson had proposed moving the greenhouse and office and their plant sales area
and growing area west of the new 169 in an area presently zoned R-A which they own
and which they are now asking for C-2 zoning on.
The motion carried.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING - 2 2 August 1966
A motion was then made by Nesbitt, seconded by Albert Picha to continue the Hearing
until August 16.
The motion carried.
KEITH JAMES, WARREN SHULTZ, J.V. GLEASON, L.P. LOWINSKI request to rezone to SI
all of their property. Notes are in Hearing file No. 19 on this.
The homeowners in the School Addition asked if another delay could be had on this
Hearing as their attorney was on vacation and could not represent them on this hear-
ing. They did not bring this matter up until the presentation had been made by
Mr. Shultz, Mr. Brauer, and Mr. James on the property and the Board felt that as
they did not call this to the attention of the Board at the beginning of the
Hearing, the Hearing would have to continue.
They were represented by themselves and were advised that another hearing would be
held at the Council level, where the Council would be represented by an Attorney and
at this time their attorney could be present and any legal aspects both the -Citzens
who were represented by an Attorney and the Council who were represented by an-—
Attorney could be handled.
There was much discussion in this area on the road going into the property, through
the property and into the High School grounds. Mr. Hawkes presented a written re-
port which was accepted and made a part of the permanent file.
• Motion was made by Ralph Nesbitt; seconded by Albert Picha, to recommend rezoning
per the petition. By the roll call vote, Albert�Picha voted yes, Anthony Hirt voted
no, Cecil Cruse voted no, Dr. Wright voted yes, Ralph Nesbitt voted yes, and Arthur
Miller voted yes. The vote was 4 for and 2 against.
The motion carried.
ITEM 7-5-66 JOE RUZIC
Mr. Ruzic appeared with another preliminary plat on the area on which he wished to
develope along Shady Oak Road. He had now applied another name to this of Eden
Heights. This was a name already given to a plat earlier in the Village, therefore
he was advised that it would not be applicable to use the same name for two different
plats in tvm7 different areas.
He was also advised that the land was presently zoned R-A which would require minimums
of 40,000 square feet for the lots and none of the lots in his proposed plat met this
area. Therefore, he was advised that if he wished to plat it at this size lot, the
Zoning Board was favorably impressed with the size lots he had that he would have to
apply for rezoning. The Zoning Board felt this should be done and therefore no
action was taken on the matter until he applies for and is either granted or denied
a rezoning petition. Mr. Anthony Hirt then made a motion, seconded by Cecil Cruse to
refer this preliminary plat to Mr. Quentin Wood and Mr. James Hawkes with their re-
ports to come to the Planning and Zoning Commission after the rezoning matter has been
resolved on this matter.
The motion carried.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING - 3 2 August 1966
ITEM 7-7-66 M. F. GRILL request for a dump on his grounds back of the Drive In
Theatre.
Mr. Anthony Hirt reported that he and Mr. David Dale had gone over the area on
Saturday, July 30th both on the ground and had also flown over the area with
several other members of the Council and Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr.
Anthony Hirt agreed that the area would prolbably be one of the most suitable for
a Sanitary Land Fill as the entire operation would be screened from the view of
any individuals driving down 169, County Road 4 or any of the existing operations
in the area, either commercial or residential. He did feel that there would have
to be definite controls put on this, one of which would be no burning as there were
several factors which a burning operation could affect encluding the airport operation.
Mr. David Dale not being present at the meeting, presented a written report which is
included in these minutes. He also felt that the area would be suitable but would
require more study as to the final Ordinance what would be granted and the final ;
permit that would be granted to the operation,on the final Ordinance that would be
adopted.
Mr. Cecil Cruse reported that he also visited the area, that he was in agreement
with Mr. Anthony Hirt and Mr. David Dale. Mr. Nesbitt was familiar with the area
and expressed the same opinion. So did Mr. Albert• Picha who had visited the area.
Mr. Hawkes presented memorandum copies of a proposed Ordinance which could be used
as a guide for recommending to the Council,the Planning and Zoning Commission's
feelings on a Dump.
The motion was made by Ralph Nesbitt, seconded by Dr. Wright to accept these re-
commendations from Mr. James Hawkes and to study them and to continue this matter
until the meeting of August 16.
The motion carried.
ITEM 7-6-66 ARROWHEAD INDUSTRIES Hearing date for rezoning.
Due to the fact that the original petition was not able to be processed in time for
the original hearing date, a new hearing date had to be set by the Board.
A motion was made by Albert Picha, seconded by Cecil Cruse to set the Hearing Date
for September 6, 1966.
The motion carried.
ITEM 8-3-66 DIETER GOETZE
Mr. Goetze had previously mailed a letter to the Clerk for presentation to the Planning
and Zoning Commission on the advise of the Village Attorney and Mr. Goetze felt that
certain items in the Planning and Zoning Commission minutes were not favorable to
him. Ralph Nesbitt feels that this letter should be placed on file but not a part of
the minutes as he feels that the minutes expressed the proper action that took place
at the particular meeting involved. Mr. Anthony Hirt felt that this letter was an
individual's opinion of a difference of opinion and any letter of this type could be
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION - 4 2 August 1966
received based on one person's opinion against another's.
A motion was then made by Ralph Nesbitt, seconded by Dr. Wright to accept the
letter and place it on file.
The motion carried.
ITEM 8-5-66 ROGER D. STOLTZ
Mr. Stoltz appeared before the Planning and Zoning Commission to request a permit to
move a trailer home on to the property presently owned by Norman L. Undestad
formerly owned by Robert Jarrett on which there is a small house and the trailer
to be used by his parents to live in for a period of several months and he is to
rent the house. There was some question as to whether the sanitary system for the
home would be capable of supporting the home, also the trailer home.
The reasons for moving this unit onto a residential lot, Mr. Stoltz stated that
his parents felt it was cheaper there then to rent space in an existing trailer
park. The Board also questioned whether this was a good or bad use of a Temporary
Permit for a trailer court and felt that more study should be given to it before
they made a decision.
They also questioned whether this home which had previously been occupied by
Mr. Jarrett and his family and was allowed to be constructed while not meeting the
requirements of the Ordinances or building codes of the Village at the time it was
built because of some hardship situations, could now be used as a rental unit in
• the Village. In order to clarify this matter completely, a motion was made by
Anthony Hirt, seconded by Ralph Nesbitt to ask for the Village Attorney's opinion
on undersized homes and basement homes in the Village which have been sold on the
basis of the property on which they exist on to a speculator or developer and
while the individual is waiting to do something with the property either resale
or develope it if these units which were allowed under an old Ordinance or a
Special Permit could be rented as rental units in the Village of Eden Prairie.
The motion carried.
ITEM 8-4-66 ALLAN GARRISON, OSCAR JONES Request for rezoning
Mr. Garrison and Mr. Jones appeared before the Planning and Zoning Commission
presenting a request to rezone areas which they own North and East of the new
Highway 169 and West of the old Highway 169 on the Northeast portion of the Village.
Their request was for rezoning to multiple dwelling and the Special Industrial
District but they were not sure which parcels they wanted rezoned to which zoning
and they did not have the correct legal descriptions for the Planning and Zoning
Commissions to act on. They were advised to have their Planner lay out the areas
they wanted developed under which zoning and have their surveyor properly describe
them so that the proper notice could be published and if a necessary Ordinance
change is made, it can be described in the Ordinance. They stated that they had
a multi-million dollar project of apartments to go into the area plus certain indus-
trial developments that they wanted to put in. The apartments were hinged to the
use of the Edina Sewer facilities which may or may not be extended to this general
of vicinity. They were advised to appear before the Council on the sewer request.
The Zoning Board could not make a decision on this matter and the Zoning Board
withheld any action on their request on rezoning until they know what area they
were considering for rezoning.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION - 5 2 August 1966
ITEM 8-A-66Z LAYOUT 2 of SP2785 TH 494-393 from 0.5 Mi ETTH 169 to TH 169
Mr. Wood presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission, Layout 2 of SP 2785
(TH 494-393 from 0.5 Mi ETTH 169 to TH 169). This was a new layout in the 494-169
area involving the States' request to put in the on and off ramp from 169 to 494
to complete the two legs of the clover between 494 and new 169 which were not paved
and to fenerally improve this exist and egress area into the Village of Eden Prairie.
As this was something the Zoning Board and Council had been asking for for some
time, it was felt that these were good changes and we should insist that they be made.
A motion was then made by Dr. Wright, seconded by Ralph Nesbitt to recommend approval
of this layout to the Council so that the State could proceed with the necessary
action on it.
ITEM 8-B-66 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S BUDGET
Motion was made by Cecil Cruse, seconded by Anthony Hirt to recommend to the Council
that $5,000.00 ba,put in the Budget for the 1967 year of Planning and Zoning Board's
work. This would be to include the professional work as required by the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
The motion carried.
ITEM 7-3-66Z MOBILE HOMES AND TRAILER COURTS IN THE VILLAGE OF EDEN PRAIRIE
The Planning and Zoning Commission had made a recommendation to the Council that
they provide the Planning and Zoning Commission with an Ordinance upon which Public
Hearings could be held. At the Council level, it was decided that more information
was required to determine whether or not an Ordinance at this time would be feasible.
It was suggested that the Planning and Zoning Commission members contact various
surrounding municipalities and question them as to whether they have good or had re-
sults with mobile home courts. The Clerk prepared a questionaire and members of the
Planning and Zoning Commission who were present picked the various communities which
they would contact. The two members who were not present have been assigned commun-
ities. The individual and the Communities which they will contact are: Cecil Cruse
will contact Mound and Spring Park, Dr. Wright will contact Bloomington and Chaska,
Ralph Nesbitt will contact Shakopee and Burnsville, Anthony Hirt will contact Osseo
and Spring Lake Park, Albert Picha, Minnestrista and Edina, David Dale is assigned
to Hopkins and Minnetonka. Arthur Miller is going to check into the court located at
152 and 100. He is not sure of the municipality and also contact the municipality of
St. Bonifacius. Copies of the questionaire are being mailed to Mr. Picha and Mr. Dale
so they can complete their study. An extra copy is being mailed to each one of the
Planning and Zoning Commission members for their use.
ITEM 8-E-66
Mr. Cecil Cruse brought up three items which he felt that some action should be taken
on in the Council.
1. Junk yards in the Village. . .apparently they are continuing to grow rather
then to get smaller, maybe some action is necessary from a legal standpoint.
2. The Butler property which formerly was the Beldon property where a Special
Use Permit has been issued. The dirt is being piled behind the barn rather then
in the hole as was originally discussed.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION - 6 2 August 1966
ITEM 8-E-66 cont'd
3. Also he requested if anything can he done as far as the Village Ordinance
is concerned regarding Real Estate Signs which advertise property for sale
with either an incorrect zoning or a proposed zoning.. This would require an
Attorney's opinion.
The meeting adjourned at 1:45 A.M. on August 3, 1966.

APPENDIX II
The following specifications are hereby adopted as reasonable
minimum standards by which the selection of a sanitary landfill
site and the operation and maintenance of a sanitary landfill may
be Judged.
SECTION I: LOCATION
A. Minimum Distance from Dwellingst Sanitary landfill shall not
be practiced on ground that is within 100 yards of any industrial
or commercial building nor within 200 yards of any dwelling place.
B. Accessibility: The area shall be accessible to an all weather
road.
C. Type of Soil: Soil with good drainage characteristics, and
generally free from rock formations within four feet of the
ground surface shall be considered to provide a satisfactory
land site.
D. Ravines and Low Areas: Location of sanitary landfill in ravines
and in low areas shall only be considered satisfactory when
drainage of the area can be properly controlled.
• E. Stream Pollution: Location of sanitary landfill in areas in
close proximity to rivers or streams shall be considered satis-
factory only as long as proper precautions are taken to safe-
guard the stream against contamination by careless handling
of refuse or poor drainage.
SECTION II: LAYOUT FOR TRENCH METHOD OF SANITARY LANDFILL
A. General: Where feasible, trenches shall be placed at right
angles to the prevailing wind with the ramp on the windward
side.
B. LenRth: The length of the original trench cut shall depend
upon the volume of waste to be handled and on soil conditions.
Under normal conditions the original trench should be cut to
last for about thirty days of operation. Shorter trenches
are advisable where soil conditions may cause cave-ins. Trenches
subsequent to the original trench shall be cut only as they are
needed to provide cover material.
C. Depth: The purpose of digging the first trench is to obtain
dirt for the ramp. The ramp shall not be built up more than
four feet over the first trench. In order to extend the height
of the ramp, it shall be permissible to extend the grade over
the first trench, and succeeding trenches if neceosary. Trenches
subsequent to the original trench uhall be dug only deep enough
to provide two feet of cover for the proceeding trench. The
depth of compacted material shall be limited to a maximum of
tern feet.
-2-
D. Width: Trenches shall be at least eight feet wide and not more
than twenty feet wide. Where caterpillar type tractors or bull-
clam shovels are used for excavating and compacting refuse, the
trench must be at least one and one-half times as wide as the
equipment used for such excavating and compacting. In general,
it shall be considered good practice to construct trenches of
such width that each day's fill when compacted will form square,
or slightly oblong cells.
E. Distance_Between Trenches: Spacing between adjacent trenches
shall be such that a two foot wall of dirt shall be maintained
between trenches.
SECTION III: OPERATION
A. Unloading: Trucks shall be unloaded by backing up the ramp and
dumping in an area designated by the supervisor. This dumping
shall be in the immediate area of operation. Dumping of refuse
on the sanitary landfill area by persons other than those
specifically authorized to collect and dispose of refuse shall
be prohibited. It shall be the duty of the supervisor to
prevent such unauthorised dumping.
B. Compaction: Refuse shall be compacted after every few truck
loads have been deposited in the trench. For proper compaction
it is recommended that either a weighted drag line bucket, or a
• caterpillar type tractor be used. Refuse shall be compacted to
within 18 inches of the top of the ramp.
C. Cover: At the end of each day, the surface of the thoroughly
compacted refuse shall be covered by two feet of fill. The open
side of the compacted refuse shall be covered with several irwhes
of dirt at the end of each days operation. -Twice a week than
open side shn1l be sealed off with two feet of compacted soil,
forming a series of separated cells in each trench.
D. The surface of the fill shall be graded in such a
manner as to provide adequate drainage. The'surface of the
fill ,hall be maintained in such a manner as to provide a
suitable road surface for trucks. Where muddy surfaces prevail,
cinders, gravel or other suitable materials shall be applied
when it is found necessary that such materials be used to
maintain a passible roadway.
E. Winter Onerationt Satisfactory disposal of refuse during winter
months when normal operation of the sanitary landfill method is
hampered by frozen ground shall be accomplished by excavating a
sufficient length of trench in advance; by stock piling dirt
loosely; and by protecting this dirt from freezing with salted
straw or by other means so that it may be used for cover during
the freezing periods. If suitable compaction of frozen earth
cn nnot be accomplished, or if sufficient dirt is not availablc.9
It shall be satisfactory to uFe only six inches of cover during
the periods when the soil is frozen to a depth of more than one
foot. It is understood that the total depth of cover will be
i«creased to a depth of two feet as soon as soil conditions permit.
! F. Avoiding Nuisances: Under no circumstances shall burning of
refuse be permitted on the landfill area. The supervisor of
the area shall be held responsible for such fires as might be
caused by the dumping of smoldering ashes or other materials
likely to cause a fire in the landfill area. Portable fences
shall be used to safeguard against the scattering of paper by
' gusts of wind. The area shall be patrolled daily for the '
purpose of keeping this area clean of such material as might
detract from the appearance of the site.
