a report on this area.
The motion carried.
With this addition, the minutes were approved as published.
ITEM 2-8-67 PUBLIC HEARINGS M-2 TO R-I CONTINUED FROM JANUARY 3, 1967
As the Council had decided at the present time not to act on the request for
a planner's report but to wait until the Council decided on further planning
action by the community, the Zoning Board felt that without a planner's report
on the area they would not make a recommendation at this time.
Motion was made by David Dale, seconded by Henry Hauser to continue the Hearing
until such time that we can receive a report from the planning consultant and
all the persons would again be re-notified.
The motion carried.
ITEM 1-4-67Z DALE F. DAHLKE CONTINUED FROM 1-3-67

Mr. Wood did not have the report completed and asked this to be continued until
the February 21st meeting for further action.
ITEM 2-2-67Z DICK STOCKSTEAD
Mr. Stockstead appeared along with the Building Inspector, Mr. Richard Bren,
to request a special use permit for the D-X Service Station on the southwest
corner of Eden Prairie Road and West 78th Street. There was some discussion
as to whether this was the best use for the corner, how it would affect the
total use of the land in that immediate vicinity and the location of the station
relative to the road.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 2 7 February, 1967
Mr. Stockstead said they had had-a preliminary talks with the Highway Depart-
ment and were told that there would be no problem getting permits to enter
and exit from State Highway 5 and the County Road #4. It was felt that they
should have these permits so that we would know definitely what the Highway
Departments were or were not approving before we made the final approval and
recommended action by the Council.
This item was continued until the meeting of February 21, 1967, pending
Mr. Stockstead securing the necessary highway permits and bringing them to
a the meeting.
ITEM 2-3-67Z DON ANDERSON
t0
Mr. Anderson appeared with Mr. Quentin Wood, the Village Engineer. They ex-
plained that he had secured the mining rights from the Claredon Park people to
remove the hill that forms part of the property of Claredon Park and also formed
a joint boundary with Mr. Anderson's property and property owned by Mason-Hagen-
' Astleford-Carter. In securing these mining rights, it would now enable them to
revise the grading plan of the entire area, including a new grading plan for the
E� Claredon Park area. It would wind up with a logical grading plan for this area.
C4
.< After much discussion, a motion was made by Ralph Nesbitt, seconded by David Dale
A to recommend approval of the grading plan- for Claredon Park, Mason-Hagen-Astleford-
,_i Carter, and Don Anderson's property as per the revised map drawn by the Carter-
'O Krueger Associates, dated 12-66 and made part of the contracts.
The motion carried.

mining license for the Claredon Park property.

to the Council that they take the necessary steps to procure the road right-of-way
for the alignment between 169 and County Road #39.
The motion carried.

!J PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 3 7 February, 1967
ITEM 2-A-67Z APARTMENT COMPLEX IN NORTHEAST CORNER OF VILLAGE
Mr. Oscar Jones representing himself and Mr. Allan Garrison appeared with a
proposal for the area between the old 169 and the new 169 in the northeast
corner of the Village. This is a very hilly area surrounding a small pond and
they are proposing an apartment complex in this area that would run in the
neighborhood of approximately $3,000,000.00 in construction costs containing
a variety of apartment buildings.
The basic idea appeared to the members of the Board to be good and a good use
for the land involved in this particular area. The Board was reminded by
Mr. Hawks that under the existing zoning, a complex of this type could not be
constructed and also would require the public sewer facilities to be feasible.
Because of the basic idea that they generally felt that this type of develop-
ment would be good in certain areas of the Village, a motion was made by Ralph
Nesbitt, seconded by David Dale to recommend to the Council to instruct the
planner to come up with an ordinance on multiple dwelling and planned unit
development areas.
The motion carried.
ITEM 2-B-67Z NORTHERN CONTRACTING
A letter was received from Northern Contracting requesting the special use
permit for their Minnetonka Blacktop Plant be renewed for the year 1967.
Motion was made by Ralph Nesbitt, seconded by Henry Hauser to recommend to
the Council to renew the Blacktop permit.
Mr. Cecil Cruse requested that it be recorded in the minutes that he abstained
from all action on this matter and is so recorded.
The motion carried.
ITEM 2-6-67Z MINNESOTA HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT APPROVAL OF LAYOUT 7H
Mr. Quentin Wood explained that it was a new layout from the Highway Depart-
ment covering an area previously approved whereas the Highway Department was
enlargir� some of the road net along Highway 5 to include frontage roads and
felt that this was the point where we should request a diamond or half-diamond
on 'the Interchange at Highway 5 and Mitchell Road.
It was felt that this could best be accomplished by meeting with the Highway
Department, the Zoning Board and the Council.
Motion was made by David Dale, seconded by Cecil Cruse to have the Council set
the meeting date for this special meeting with the Highway Department.
Ralph Nesbitt voted no, Henry Hauser voted yes, David Dale voted yes, Cecil
Cruse voted yes, Odmar Skjelbostad voted yes, and Arthur Miller voted yes.
The motion carried.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 4 7 February, 1967
ITEM 2-C-67Z JAMES-LOWINK-GLEASON-SHULTZ PROPERTIES FORMERLY THE LUCAS
PROPERTY
In a recent series of hearings and rezoning matters, it was felt that this
property was properly rezoned. Now it appears that in a dropping in part
of the legal description, the publication did not cover this particular piece
of property. In order to get this property correctly zoned, it would be nec-
essary to go through the procedures of setting a hearing date and holding the
necessary rezoning hearing and making a recommendation.
Motion was made by Ralph Nesbitt, seconded by Odmar Skjelbostad to set the
hearing date on the James-Lowinski-Gleason-Shultz property for March 7, 1967.
The motion carried.
ITEM 2-7-67Z 701 PLANNING
Because of the lateness of the hour, a special meeting is to be held on the
night of February $, 1967 at 8:15 p.m.
Motion was then made by Henry Hauser, seconded by Ralph Nesbitt that the
meeting be adjourned at 12:05 a.m.
The motion carried.
