ITEM 8-2-67 HEARING ON THE M-2 PROPERTY SOUTH OF PIONEER TRAIL - M-2 PROPERTY EAST OF RILEY LAKE ROAD IN THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE VILLAGE The report from the Planner, Brauer & Associates, had been previously distributed to the members, was gone over with Mr. Don Brauer, He recommended in his report that the area south of Pioneer Trail be rezoned; the area north of Pioneer Trail be left as it is pending final approval of Highway 169. Motion was made by David Dale, seconded by Cecil Cruse to recommend to the Council, rezoning the area south of Pioneer Trail from M-2 to R1 and the area north of Pioneer Trail and west of Riley Lake Road from M-2 to Rl. The motion carried. On the piece of M-2 property southeast of Highway 169 across from Flying Cloud Field, Mr. Brauer recommended in his report that this be rezoned to a SI category. As this had not been published, he felt that there was nothing they could do at this time that would improve it any; to leave it as it is pending the completion of the comprehensive plan. Motion was made by Arthur Miller, seconded by Cecil Cruse to recommend to the Council that this piece of property be left as it is pending a comprehensive plan. The motion carried;, The M-2 property located east of Eden Prairie Road, north of West 78th Street, east of the Chicago Northwestern Railroad tracks and south of Valley View Road. Representatives and owners of two of the properties, the property owned by Minneapolis Floral Company and the property owned by Mr. Loren Ferch, were in the PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 2 1 August, 1967 audience and made statements against the proposed rezoning. Brauer's report stated that the property should be rezoned to a residential category except for the corner at Highways 4 and 5 which should go to a commercial category. There was some question as to whether the request had been initiated by the residents in the area and the residential developer. It was stated by the members of the Board that the request had come from the Planning and Zoning Commission and there had been no pressure or no action by any of the individuals in the residential developed area in this quadrangle. The owners of the Minneapolis Floral property stated that they would like to see a complete study done on the area; that no further building permits be issued until the area was completely worked over with the possibility of buffer zones and so on. The Minneapolis Floral presently owns the M-2 property along the railroad track and also some RA property going north to Valley View Road. They stated at the present time, they had no immediate plans for use of the property but felt it would be developed sometime in the future. The motion was made by Cecil Cruse, seconded by David Dale to continue the hearing on this property until we have a comprehensive plan. The motion carried. Motion was then made by Cecil Cruse, seconded by David Dale to recommend to the Council that no building permits be issued on the M-2 property until we have a comprehensive plan. Upon a roll call vote, Cecil Cruse voted yes, Odmor Skjelbostad voted yes, Arthur Miller voted yes, Ralph Nesbitt voted no, Henry Hauser voted yes, and David Dale voted yes. The motion carried. The representatives from the Minneapolis Floral wanted to be put on record that they opposed this action as applying only to the M-2 property. They felt it should apply to all of the property in the area. ITEM 8-3-67 ALEX DORENKEMPER SKETCH PLAT Mr. Quentin Wood presented a report on the sketch plat. He felt that it should be approved, that there would still be some changes made when they got down to the basic engineering studies and final approval of the preliminary plat. Motion was made by Arthur Miller, seconded by Odmor Skjelbostad to approve the sketch plat. The motion carried. ITEM 8-4-67 REQUESTS FROM PERSONS NOT ON THE AGENDA Mr. Roy Johnson who lives on Flying Cloud Drive appeared before the Board to request permission to move his home which is being taken by the Highway Depart- PLANNING, AND ZONING COMMISSION 3 1 August, 1967 ment to a lot on Eden Road. Mr. Quentin Wood who is Acting Building Inspector had inspected the home. He stated that the home had been built under Eden Prairie's Building Code; that in his inspection, it met all of the criteria for any building in the Village and would not be a detriment to the area where it is going to be moved as it is compatible with the homes in the area and better than some of the homes along Eden Road. He presented a report in writing to the Board to this effect; stating that the home was in excellent condition. Mr. Roy Johnson stated that in moving the home, he would make a slight alter- ation in it which would increase the living space in the home and in fact improve its general over all appearance and total value. Motion was made by David Dale, seconded by Odmor Skjelbostad to recommend approval to the Council to allow Mr. Johnson to move his home to Tract "C" R.L.S. 687 on Eden Road. The motion carried. ITEM 8-6-67 MACHINE PRODUCTS COMPANY Mr. Spencer Holle appeared before the Board to request certain changes in . the original plan on the building he is building for Machine Products. He is asking that they consider holding in abeyance the requirement to complete to SI standards the north wall of the structure as he will have' completed an addition to the building approximately 69 feet in width prior to August 1, 1968. He plans on starting this addition some time this fall. He also asked that they consider a change on the south wall of the building from the curtain wall construction used to face the cement block building to a wire mesh and stucco construction. These items were discussed and it was decided to handle them as two separate items. It was generally felt that with the imminent construction of an add- ition, they should not be required to face the building with the material required in the SI zoning on the north wall. The motion was made by Odmor Skjelbostad, seconded by Henry Hauser to recommend granting permission to withhold completion of the north wall of .the building until the addition is completed or August 1, 1968 which ever is sooner. Upon a roll call vote, Cecil Cruse voted yes, Odmor Skjelbostad voted yes, Arthur Miller voted yes, Ralph Nesbitt voted yes, Henry Hauser voted yes, and David Dale voted no. The motion carried. The south wall of the building was discussed. One of the reasons Mr. Holle asked for the change was that the material which would be used would have a tE? PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 4 1 August, 1967 C3 tendency to become unsightly in a period of time from the traffic using this side of the building; throwing up snow, rocks, etc. He stated that the stucco was repairable and also would present a good appearance. He was questioned if he would be willing to put marble chips into the stucco to give it an additional aesthetic quality. He stated that this could very easily be done. Motion-was then made by Henry Hauser, seconded by Arthur Miller to recommend granting the change to use a wire mesh stucco coat with marble chips on the south side as this will blend in with the building to the north and south and also meet our SI zoning. The motion carried. ITEM 8-5-67 DATE FOR THE SECOND MEETING IN AUGUST Motion was made by Henry Hauser, seconded by Arthur Miller to change the second meeting in August to August 29, 1967. 0 The meeting adjourned at 11:30 P.M. y v y LLs�' �i ® James C.
