Mr. Quentin Wood felt that the basic plan required two things which were not fq in line with good planning policies. t� One was the almost complete removal of the hill and the second was the entrance 12 to the property was coming from the wrong direction which made the development of the property not to the best interest to the Village. Mr. Quentin Wood recommended that the plan not be approved and that it be sent back to Mr. Joe Ruzic for re-working. Mr. Joe Ruzic asked the Board to either say yes or no on the matter and he would then take it from there.

Mr. Quentin Wood recommended approval of the plat in that they had been working with him. He stated that there would be some possible adjustments after they got the actual layout worked out where the final roads would be and what areas would consist of the final lot layout. He also stated that of the entire plat they are only considering platting at this time approximately one quarter of it, and they would have additional additions as they continue to build on the property. Motion was made by Odmar Skjelbostad, seconded by Ralph Nesbitt to recommend { approval of the sketch plans for the Semrad property in the Northeast corner of Section 29 and in the Southeast corner of Section 29. The motion carried. �a i< ITEM 3-3-67 GRAYDON BOECK SANITARY LAND FILL �ry Mr. Graydon Boeck appeared before the Planning and Zoning Board representing his employer, Mr. Ed Stow, to present to them an idea in land use on property known as Saunders Farm and also part of the property that joined it owned by Mr. Garrison and Mr. Tuckey. The idea was for a residential development in the �. area and using the area known as Neil Lake which is a dry lake bed for a sanitary land fill to bring it up to a usable grade in which time it would be turned into a recreational area. The proposal they showed was for a 18 hole golf course. It was explained to them that at the present time the Village does not have an U. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 3 7 March, 1967 ordinance which allows a sanitary land fill or any other type of operation for a dump whether public or private. An ordinance had been recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission to the Council and the Council was studying it but had not acted on it. Mr. Ed Stow also appeared and answered questions regarding the area from various people from the audience as this was an area that had been considered by the Hennepin County Park Reserve for a County Park. Mr. Ed Stow explained that they had purchased the property conditionally from the people involved. They had offer- ed to operate the land fill and would sell the entire piece of property to the County at the price less then the price they had paid for the land. They had been advised by the County Park people that at this time they did not have the money to purchase any park land in this particular area. Mr. Ed Stow stated that the County was not now closed out and if in the future should come up with the money to purchase the property, they would still be willing to work with them. This, of course, would have to be done before the development of the property took place as far as the construction of roads and the beginning of the layout of property lines for homes in the area. They asked for a recommendation from the Board. The Board stated that they were not quite veady to make a recommendation on this. They asked the representative from Midwest Planning for an off-the-cuff opinion and he said without a great deal of study, the general layout that they are purposing for homes, residential and possibly a school site and the recreational areas in the development that it would appear to be a good development. Motion was then made by David Dale, seconded by Cecil Cruse to table any site proposal for a sanitary land fill until a land fill ordinance and revised comprehensive plan including land fill areas have been approved. The motion carried. Ralph Nesbitt asked to be recorded as abstaining. ITEM 3-A-67 APPOINTMENT OF A COMMITTEE TO SERVE WITH A COMMITTEE FROM THE MINNETONKA PLANNING COMMISSION REGARDING THE INTERCHANGE OF HIGHWAY 494 AND THE 62ND CROSSTOWN. S kjelbos1,4J Mr. Arthur Miller appointed Homer Raguet, Cecil Cruse, Odmar to this committee along with the Village Engineer. These people would arrange their own meetings with the Minnetonka group. ITEM 3-B-67 LAYOUT 7-H MINNESOTA HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT This is the layout that has been carried over for a joint meeting with the Council and the Highway Department. The meeting was not held at the regular Council meeting as a special meeting was held with the Highway people on March 7, 1967. The members of the Planning and Zoning Board who were present at the meeting were Mr. Arthur Miller, Henry Hauser, Homer Raguet, and Odmar Skjelbostad. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 4 7 March, 1967 They all felt that in talking with the Highway people that this was a good layout for the Village and that the future requirements as requested by the Village would be met as they developed. They could not put these requirements into the proposal now as they could not justify them at this time to the Bureau of Public Roads. If the Village was able to make available to them, additional road information and proposed traffic flow they could possibly by the time the construction con- tract was let, get this into the layout. Motion was made by Odm*r Skjelbostad, seconded by Henry Hauser to recommend approval to the Council of Layout 7-H of the Minnesota Highway Department. The motion carried. Motion was made by David Dale, seconded by Cecil Cruse that the meeting be adjourned at 12:00 midnight. The motion carried. Av� 9'0� • i s C. Brown, Clerk
