application for the public hearing that the Board would like some background

iinformation as to what they were doing and they also would like to get the
sketch plat of the property into the hands of the Village for engineering
studies at this point.
'c They stated that they were in no way attempting to make this part of the in-
formation for the hearing nor would the public hearing be concerned with the
plat of the property but only with the zoning of the entire piece of ground.
They would like to get action started on the sketch plan so that they would
not be unduly delayed in working on their property's plat.
A motion was made by Ralph Nesbitt, seconded by Homer Raguet to accept the
preliminary sketch for study and ask for an engineering report on it.

Cn ITEM 5-6-67 JERRY LIEBSCH
Mr. Jerry Liebsch appeared before the Board with a request for a mining
license on the Fred Holasek property located along Valley View Road in the
Bryant Lake area. Mr. Jerry Liebsch appeared with a map showing how they
intended to cut a hill in this property and remove certain of the deposites
in the hill from the Village for the sale of road material.
Mr. Quentin Wood stated that he felt the best use of this land might be to fill
the low land next to the lake rather than to haul it all out of the Village.
• He stated that they were not taking all of the land but were leaving approximately
ten feet of the hill which could be removed at a future date but this would not
leave sufficient quantity of gravel or fill to completely fill some of the
area which would require filling.
Motion was made by Cecil Cruse, seconded by Ralph Nesbitt to recommend denial
of the mining license on this property for the following reasons:
1. There are enough mining pits in the area.
2. May need this for future state aid road work in this area.
3. The possibility of filling the adjacent land.
The motion carried.
ITEM 5-7-67 L.A. BUTLER DALE GREEN CO.
ti Mr. Butler appeared before the Board at the request of the Board. The question
was raised as to the location of the black dirt now on the property which
Mr. Butler now owns aznd. e� and the general appearance of this property as
' regards to the original intent from the standpoint of Mr. Butler and his agents
when they appeared before the Planning and Zoning Commission some time back.
Mr. Butler said that the Dale Green Company had made their move through the
fall and winter, had done some work on the property but because of the weather
situation had not been able to do all the things that they would like to do.
They will attempt to adjust the location of the stock pile to suit the Board and
also attempt to do some screening and planting on the property. Because of the
fact that the State Highway Department is presently surveying parts of the
._s
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 3 2 May, 1967
southwesterly portion of the property for an access road to 494, they are
unable at this time to determine where the plantings in this particular
area can go.As soon as the State has settled on the particular right of way
they will then go in and plant in this area.
Mr. Butler stated that they intend to make the property as attractive as
possible but they would be doing this with natural materials and this would
require certain lengths of time for these materi4ls to become full grown or
so that they would provide the necessary atmosphere that Mr. Butler had
proposed in his original plan.
Motion was made by Cecil Cruse, seconded by David Dale to have Mr. Butler
have the general appearance straightened up by June 30th and at that time
have a report from the Building Inspector.
The motion carried.
ITEM 5-8-67 GLEN LAKE HOSPITAL DUMP
Mr. Richard Bren reported that he had contacted the Administrator of the Glen
Lake State Hospital and the maintenance supervisor. Both parties stated that
they had made arrangements to have the material that had been dumped in this
area hauled away and that they were no longer engaged in any operations from
the hospital in dumping on this property. He stated that he would keep an
eye on the property to see that they did carry out their proposals.
ITEM 5-A-67 SPECIAL MEETING
The Clerk reported that the Council was requesting a special meeting to be
held with the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Village Council at the
Village Hall on May 10, 1967 to discuss the planning program for the Village.
At this meeting, Mr. Don Brauer and Associates would be present to go over
the proposals they have in mind along with the proposals the Planning and
Zoning Commission and the Council have for the Village of Eden Prairie. The
members were asked if there was any conflict with this and at the time all of
them stated that they could make the meeting.
ITEM 5-B-67 LAYOUT 8F of SP 2763-01 TRUNK HIGHWAY 169
Mr. Quentin Wood presented the latest layout revisions on this particular
stretch of road. The State had colored the map to show a portion of yellow
which they intended to start construction on the Fall of 1967 and a portion
iri green which they stated would be considered for future construction with no
construction date at this time.
He stated that they had made some minor amd major changes since the last
approval of this layout. He felt that they had eliminated some of the snarl
problems at the interchange in CSAH 60, that they had adjusted the bridge at
CSAH 61 and he felt the proposed road between 169 and Valley View Road going
across the industrial area in the northeast corner of the Village could be
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 4 2 May, 1967
easily adjusted to the bridge direction as proposed by the State.
He recommended that the Board only approve the parts shown in yellow and to
reserve opinion on the part for future construction until such time as the
State is ready to apply this to the area at which time they would request
possible revisions or changes in it.
A motion was made by Cecil Cruse, seconded by Homer Raguet to recommend
approval of Layout 8F SP 2763-01/TH 169 from TH 494 to .5 miles north of
CSAH 61, the yellow portion of the layout only as referred in the map on
file with the Village Clerk.
The motion carried.

be adjourned at 9:55 p:m.
