Mr. Anderson appeared representing the Board of Trustees of the Eden Prairie
Presbyterian Church asking for a variance on Lot 4, Block 1, Topview Acres to
build a home closer to the lot line than the zoning ordinance required. They
had approval from the adjacent property owner to come within 12 feet of the
property line as their building is over 30 feet from the property line in this
particular area. This lot is located on a curve and the lot, being pie shaped,
in order for the house to be within a reasonable distance of the road, requires
a variance.
Motion was made by Warren Shultz, seconded by Henry Hauser to recommend to the
Council granting the variance of the east side of Lot 4, Block 1, Topview Acres.
The motion carried.
ITEM 8-A-68 HERB MASON-EDEN PRAIRIE DEVELOPMENT CO PANY
Mr. Mason appeared with Mr. John Rapp and Mr. Bill k Ellerbe and
Mr. John Highland of Northwest Tel-E-Lect to present a detailed layout of the
property of the Eden Prairie Development Company owns west of County Road #4
(Eden Prairie Road). They had several different proposals which they presented
showing the layout of the industrial and residential area in this property along
with the alternates depending on where the highway proposed by the State runs
through the property.
Mr. Brauer made certain comments regarding the area. He recommended that the
Board approve the proposals, that he had recommended certain restrictions which
would be placed on Tel-E-Lect and also that the balance-of the property for
industrial be of the SI type, that there also be certain restrictions on the
removal of natural screening material, such as trees and hills, etc.
Mr. Mason was agreeable to this as were the representatives of Tel-E-Lect who
felt that this was no problem. The Tel-E-Lect people could not abide by the SI
ordinance as they do require outside storage of the completed units.
Motion was made by Warren Shultz, seconded by Odmor Skjelbostad to recommend to
the Council that the Eden Prairie Development Company's preliminary plans be
approved subject to Mr. Brauer's conditions.
The motion carried.
