ITEM 4-1-68 MINUTES 3-5-68 vfl S `�� �ti4
A motion was made by Warren Shultz, seconded by Vernon Emerson to approve
the minutes as published.
The motion carried.
ITEM 4-2-68 PUBLIC HEARING ON JOHN GULLICKSON PROPERTY
Mr. John Gullickson appeared before the Board. It was explained that this was
a re-rezoning as it had previously been rezoned and there was an error made in
the rezoning. Everybody thought it was R-1 and it was rezoned RA. There was
nobody to speak in opposition.
A motion was made by Warren Shultz, seconded by Vernon Emerson to recommend
approval to the Council for rezoning from RA to R-1.
The motion carried.
At this point Mr. Ralph Nesbitt and Mr. Henry Hauser came in and Mr. Odmor
Skjelbostad turned the chair over to Mr. Nesbitt.
ITEM 4-2-68 THE REQUEST FOR REZONING ON THE FRANK SMETANA PROEPRTY AND THE
RICHFIELD BANK AND TRUST COMPANY ACTING AS GUARDIAN FOR FRANK SMETANA
This is a request to rezone the property from RA to C-2.
Motion was made by Homer Raguet, seconded by Odmor Skjelbostad to set the
Hearing Date for May 7, 1968 and adopt Resolution to do this.
The motion carried.
ITEM 4-3-68 G.P. SCHOENFELDER REQUEST FOR A MINING LICENSE ON THE FRANK SMETANA
PROPERTY
Mr. Stanley, attorney for Mr. Schoenfelder, appeared before the Board requesting
a mining license on the Smetana property which is northwest of County Road #39
adjoining the Schoenfelder proerty. Mr. Schoenfelder is in the process of
purchasing the property and it is being considered for rezoning. He does want to
grade the property to match the property he presently owns in the area. He would
like a land alteration permit but because there will be removal of material, he
felt that a mining license which calls for a contract would be more applicable.
He stated that he had purchased this property because the State is taking some of
his access on County Road #39 for the new 169 and he had needed the additional
property to provide better access to his total piece of land.
The grading plan is compatible with the balance of the area and has been approved
by the Nine Mile Watershed District.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 2 2 April, 1968
Mrs. Olson and Mr. Enblom were in the audience and requested some information
on what the Highway was going to do with the dirt in this area. Mr. Stanley
stated that the Highway Department had made no application, had talked to no
one about the property or filed any papers that they were at all interested in
the particular piece of property.
Motion was made by Homer Raguet, seconded by Henry Hauser to recommend approval
® of a mining license for Mr. Schoenfelder when the property has been purchased.
The motion carried.
K ITEM 4-4-68 ARTHUR HOLASEK AND GEORGE HOLASEK REQUEST FOR REZONING FROM RA
W AND RC TO C-2 ON THE PROPERTY WHICH THEY OWN ON HIGHWAY 169 IN EDEN PRAIRIE
Motion was made by Warren Shultz, seconded by Odmor Skjelbostad to adopt a
0 Resolution setting the Hearing Date for 5-7-68.
The motion carried.
ITEM 4-5-68 MINNESOTA HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Mr. Quentin Wood presented plans showing some changes in the 169-212 CSAH 61
Interchange which included revising the service area roads, improving the bridge
access over 169 with 61 and the general clean up of the area as had been
recommended previously by the Council to the Highway Department.
Q
U- A motion was made by Warren Shultz, seconded by Henry Hauser to recommend approval
of Plan SP 2763-01 Trunk Highway 169-212 with CSAH 61 with the provision in the 0
• CD Holasek rezoning prior to the 5-7-68 meeting. They are requesting these reports
= be presented to the Board prior to the meeting.
ITEM 4-8-68 CURT SPANDE
Mr. Curt Spande appeared before the Board requesting a building permit on a lot
which is not on a public road. This is tied to Ordinance #8 which requres now
that all building permits only be issued to lots which have direct access on a
public road. He stated that he would be giving an easement through another lot
which he owns to this lot where he intended to build a home.
There was some discussion as to what could be done here, also some legal points.
The Zoning Board felt that we did not have the legal advice to answer completely,
therefore, motion was made by Warren Shultz, seconded by Odmor Skjelbostad to
pass this on to the Council, per se, without a recommendation.
The motion carried.
ITEM 4-9-68 BLACKTOP SERVICE - ALVIN HOLASEK
The group appeared before the Board to request a mining permit on the Alvin
Holasek property on the northeast shore of Bryant Long Lake. They presented a
grading plan which called for the removal of a certain amount of gravel from
the hills leaving a general slope down to the lake. There was no provision as
to what the future development could be and it was generally felt by Mr. Don Brauer

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 3 2 April, 1968
and Mr. Quentin Wood that they would be leaving the property in a position which
would be precarious for the community and the landowner. There should be some
definite provisions before any dirt is moved as to what is going to be left.
Motion was made by Warren Shultz, seconded by Edward Schlampp that Mr. Alvin
Holasek have his plan engineered for logical development which would be acceptable
to the planner and engineer and then bring it back into the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
The motion carried.
ITEM 4-10-68 NORTHERN CONTRACTING
Dick Bury, the bituminous engineer for Northern Contracting appeared before the
Zoning Board regarding the Blacktop Plant which Northern Contracting wishes to
erect on their property. They had approval for the plant which they did have
on their property. They have sold this property and are re-engineering the
location of the plant, purchasing a new plant which will be an all electric
installation. The storage facilities except for the sand will be under ground
or enclosed. It is not directly on the road. They will have a paved area to
work on and it will be a permanent type installation with all of the latest
Q poluution control equipment. They have met the standards for the pollution
control for Los Angeles County and have added an additional dust collector to
3 this. They also have met with many of the area residents in the Kings Forest
area to discuss this.
Motion was made by Edward Schlampp, seconded by Vernon Emerson to refer
Mr. Dick Bury's request to the next council meeting with a recommendation that
a permit for one or two years be granted and that the request had the full
approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
tl� The motion carried.
� ITEM 4-11-68 RED ROCK AREA
Guy Mundale who has purchased a lot from Mr. Rutter in the Red Rock Addition,
appeared before the Planning and Zoning Commission to request a variance to
allow him a building permit on a lot which does not have an access on to a
public road.
This is similar to the problem that Mr. Curt Spande had although the road here
had been surveyed but is an easement road and is a private road that Mr. Mundale
has access to.
Motion was made by Homer Raguet, seconded by Vernon Emerson to refer this to
the Council, per se, without recommendation due to the legal requirements involved.
The motion carreid.
ITEM 4-6-68 PLANNING
Mr. Bon Brauer and Mr. Bruce Pladson, the planners, and Mr. Arthur Miller and
Mr. Paul Redpath from the Council along with the Planning and Zoning Commission
discussed the feasibility of holding area meetings to discuss the guide plan as
presented by Mr. Brauer and how it would affect the areas involved and what

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 4 2 April, 1968
could or could not be done to get the information to these people.
It was felt that the Village should be divided into approximately three areas.
The people in these areas would be invited to a meeting for the area. If it
could be arranged, a bus tour of the area or car tour followed by a general
discussion meeting. It was discussed and it was felt that the Village Hall
would be sufficient to hold the personnel involved, that these meetings would
be held as soon as possible and still be able to get the information to the
personnel involved.
Motion was made by Warren Shultz, seconded by Henry Hauser to divide the
community into three areas. Area No. 1 would be in the area north of Highway 5
and west of the Chicago Northwestern Railroad area. Area No. 2, all of the
Village south of Highway 5 and Area No. 3, north of Highway 5 east of the
Chicago Northwestern Railroad, and that the meeting for Area No. 1 would be
held 6:30 P.M. on April 19th. The meeting for Area No. 2 would be at 9:00 A.M.
on April 20th and the Area for No. 3 would be at 6:30 P.M. on April 26th. All
meetings are to be at the Village Hall under the auspices of the Planning and
Zoning Commission and the Village Council.
The motion carried.
Motion was made by Henry Hauser that the meeting be adjourned at 11:30 P.M.
The motion carried.
