ITEM 4-2-67 PUBLIC HEARINGS

Golf Course to be rezoned from M-1 to R-1.
V
There was a large crowd of people in the audience to attend this hearing.
Mr. Sime represented the owners of the Golf Course and the hearing notes
are in File #24. Upon the conclusion of the hearing, a motion was made by
David Dale, seconded by Henry Hauser to recommend to the Council rezoning
land presently occupied by the Eden Prairie Golf Course that is zoned M-2 to
R-1 for the following reasons:
1. The present zoning is out of keeping with the residential make-up of that
area.
2. We have sufficiently zoned land in an industrial area not set off by it-
self as this particular piece is.
Upon a roll call vote, Ralph Nesbitt voted yes, Cecil Cruse voted no, Henry
....I Hauser voted yes, Homer Raguet voted yes, Odmor Skjelbostad voted yes, David
C:1 Dale voted yes, and Arthur Miller abstained.
The motion carried.
ITEM 4-3-67 BURY AND CARLSON
1. Request for a Special Use Permit for a Black Top Plant.
2. Set hearing dates for rezoning certain property that is presently
residential to industrial.
The request for the Black Top Plant was studied and the representatives,
Mr. Bury and Mr. Carlson explained they were going to erect a plant on land
they presently own which is presently zoned for the M zoning. In checking
the distances, it was found they could not erect a plant in an area that
would be zoned M-2 as the outer perimeter of the M-2 zone is M-1 and they
did not have sufficient area where they intended to put' the plant. Therefore,
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING 2 4 April, 1967
before they could act on the Special Use Permit, it would be necessary
for the Board to act on the request for rezoning.
Motion was made by Homer Raguet, seconded by Henry Hauser to set the
Hearing Date for May 2 for the proposed rezoning of the property owned by
Bury, Carlson and Peters from RA to M-2.
The motion carried.
ITEM 4-4-67 M.F. GRILL AND JOE RUZIC ON THE SANITARY LAND FILL
Mr. Grill and Mr. Ruzic were advised that the ordinance had not been re-
turned from the Council for action by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and therefore no action could be taken on the matter of a proposed land
fill ordinance.
The Zoning Board also stated that they had previously moved that no action
would be taken on a site until such time as a comprehensive plan had been
developed by the Village.
Mr. Martin Grill then asked if he could present for the people's study
a proposed layout of the property which he proposed for a sanitary land
fill. He presented a copy to the Planning and Zoning Commission and a
copy to the Engineer. This was posted on the Board for those in the
audience to look at. No discussion was held on the matter.
ITEM 4-5-67 M-2 LINE ALONG THE HIGHWAY #5
The Clerk referred the Planning and Zoning Commission to the information
prepared by the Village Attorney that the land which the Planning and
Zoning Commission had recommended to the Council for rezoning from M-2 to
SI in the publication and then recommended at the hearing stage to commer-
cial and residential zones was not acted on by the Council because the hear-
ing was published for the Planning and Zoning Commission at the SI level and
they could not rezone to R-1 or C-1 or 2 zoning without republishing.
The Clerk then stated if the Planning and Zoning Commission wished to have
this land reconsidered they would have to set a hearing date to consider the
rezoning of it.
Motion was made by Henry Hauser, seconded by Cecil Cruse to set a Hearing Date
for May 16 on the M-2 or Commercial property east of Eden Prairie Road and
County Highway #4, north of West 78th Street (State Highway #5), west of the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad tracks and south of Valley View Road to
consider it to go to R-l.
Upon a roll call vote, Ralph Nesbitt voted no, Cecil Cruse voted yes, Henry
Hauser voted yes, Homer Raguet voted no, Odmor Skjelbostad voted no, David
Dale voted no and Arthur Miller abstained.
The motion was denied.
There was more discussion on this matter and it was felt that there should
be something done to remove the M-2 from some of the area and also to protect

certain individuals who had purchased this property under the zoning and did
have certain rights in the property. It was suggested by Mr. Quentin Wood,
that the Council consider publishing it for the possibility of more than one
zone, both to commercial and the one residential zone which they were consid-
ering and at the time of the hearing could then make a final decision.
Motion was made by Henry Hauser, seconded by Cecil Cruse to set a hearing
date for May 16 on the M-2 and Commercial property west of Eden Prairie Road
(County Road #4), north of State Highway #5 (West 78th Street), east of the
Chicago Northwestern Railroad tracks and south of Valley View Road to consider
this for rezoning to R-1, C-1, or C-2.
The motion carried.
ITEM 4-A-67 MEETING WITH MINNETONKA PLANNING COMMISSION
Mr. Quentin Wood presented to the Zoning Board a preliminary report on the
meeting held with the group of the Minnetonka Planning Commission regarding
the proposals made by the County and interchange of County Road, Crosstown 62
and Interstate Highway 494.
He stated both groups agreed that there should be better access to the roads
than originally proposed by the County and that access should be made avail-
able both for the Minnetonka and Eden Prairie people but that the access
should not be directly into the interchange area.
It was suggested by Mr. Quentin Wood that the people generally agreed that a
possibility of a bridge crossing from Beach Road over 494 and extending the
road on to Baker, Road, the possiblity of extending a frontage road along
62 Crosstown from Beach Road to Shady Oak Road would be more suitable for the
Village and give better traffic flow and control than the proposal to have
Beach Road enter into the interchange maze for the people to get in and out
of the development in this area.
Mr. Quentin Wood stated that a formal report would be made to the Board and
asked for their general feelings on this matter.
The Board generally felt the access to Beach Road should not be into the inter-
change area but should be either/or both to Shady Oak Road and to Baker Road.
There was no formal action taken on this matter.
There was a motion to adjourn at 11:50 p.m.
James C. Brown, Clerk
