No one appeared before the Board, either objecting; to or in favor of this
particular rezoning. The Board had previously started action on this on part
of the Zero I-lax property. The Zero-Flax people had requested the balance of their
property to be rezoned and the Board had acted to include the Donat property upon
recommendation from the Planner, Mr. James Hawkes.
There was some discussion as to hour the line for a drainage way could be deter-
mined along the Creek where it meandered in the fashion it does in this particular
area.
Motion was then made by Anthony Dirt, seconded by David Dale to recommend re-
zoning the Zero-Max. property and the Donat property as shown in the publication
from R-1 & R-A to SI, holding a 100 feet drainage way along Purgatory Creek
POC.

ITEM 10-6-66 ROY E. OLSON
Iir. Olson appeared before the Planning and Zoning Board with a site grading
plan for the property which he owns North of Highway 5, East of Purgatory Creek.
The property was formerly oemed by Calvin Anderson.
Mr. Olson's request was to completely regrade the property, setting up a general
slope back from the road, Highway 5, to the North of the boundary of the property
to eliminate the very steep slopes that are now inherent in the piece of ground:
In order to do this, Mr. Olson would require not only the approval of the grading
plan but a mining permit as there are many hundred of thousands of tons of
gravel and fill to be removed from the site.
Generally speaking they felt that the plan was good although they felt that it
should be under taken in stages. It should be developed so as to provide the
least possible aesthetic distractions while the operation was goin? on. They
felt that in order to do this, portions of the property should be left untouched
and only a portion worked at a time. Also that levels should be established at
which time the property would be worked to this level and then the people would
come in for a new level and continue to expand their operation.
A motion was made by Anthony Hirt, seconded by Albert Picha to have Ilr. Quentin
;good secure a new nap of this area and spelling out that the SW corner of the SE
corner of Section 10 will be the area to start the gravel and earth removal
operation in. Mr. Quentin Wood is to have this ready to he presented to the
Zoning meeting of November 1, 1966 for their action.
The motion carried.

I:r. Bren presented initial plans for the Fuller Pharmaceutical building in the
SI zone located. South of Highway 5, East of Count- Road 4 and ,Test of the
Chicago and. I?orth'Testern Railroad tracks. The information_ was incomplete and

to the Village Offices to be presented to the Zoard with the following information.
1. Letter of Intent from Fuller Pharmaceutical which would spell out why they
wanted the Special Use permit and ghat they intended to do in the area.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 3 18 October 1966
3. The Building Inspector's check sheet and report on the plans and property
use.
The motion carried.
PLANNING #2.
It was felt that certain areas of the Village that was presently zoned lei-2
were incorrectly zoned and because of changes in our zoning in the last few
years, should be removed from the 1-1-2 zone. These areas would be acted on upon
the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and because it involved
the expenditure of money they would ask the Council for permission to do this.
Motion was made by Albert Picha, seconded by David Dale to request the Council to
approve the expenditure of funds for the publication and holding a Public Hear-
ing to rezone the property presently used by the Eden Prairie Golf Course. The
M-2 property located South of County Road 1 in Section 29 and 30, a small piece
of 11-2 property located West of Riley Road between the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway tracks and County Road 1 and all of the M-2 in Section 8 and 7 North of
Highway 5.
The motion carried.
3. Mr. Wood showed some preliminary plans from the Prairie Land Venture people
on a road from County road 1, t;orth through the industrial area in the Western
part of the Village. The Board and Mr. Wood both agreed that the road had two
many curves to be a good road either for industrial use or a major transportation
artery and some extensive changes should be made to eliminate as many of these
curves as possible.
No other action was taken on this matter.
