IV. PUBLIC MEETING
V. INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS
A. ST. ANDREW WOODS INFORMATIONAL MEETING
Request for: Informational meeting to present a concept plan for a proposed
multiple family use of property currently guided low density residential. The plan
includes eight twin home units in four buildings. Location is the northwest corner
of Baker Road and St. Andrew Drive.
Henry Lazniarz, of St. Andrews Woods, LLC, presented the proposal. He stated
they previously proposed a 17 unit building and are coming back this evening
with an 8 twin home units in four buildings. He utilized the overhead projector to
illustrate this proposal. He stated in regard to Baker Road, it is a highly traveled
road and because of it he felt this area would most likely not attract families with
children, due to the busyness of the road. Mr. Lazniarz also pointed out at the end
of Vervoort Lane there is a play area for kids, including a basketball hoop. He
said a good project would keep Vervoort Lane as it is and not expand the street.
He stated the four buildings could fit on the site with a private road installed. Mr.
Lazniarz also said the home values would be in the range of$550,000 to
$600,000. He pointed out in regards to the residents on the hill and their concern
of the view, they have changed their design of the buildings to rambler town
homes. Mr. Lazniarz said because of the elevation, there would be a much better
site line. Mr. Lazniarz also stated they would be putting a pond and a fountain on
the property. He said he felt this proposal is the best possible use for this site and
also said the best fit for this site would be to make these units senior living
housing.
Stoelting asked Franzen to review the staff report. Franzen stated this property is
designated as low density residential. The proposed plan for tonight is a guide
plan change. He stated the Commission should base their decision on which plan
is best and would fit with the neighborhood. Franzen also stated the most logical
fit is access from Vervoort Lane, and 4 single family homes. In regards to
families in the area, he pointed out there are many single family homes in the area
on Baker Road has not had an impact on single family homes. Franzen stated
there are two options for this area, twin homes and single family homes.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input.
Jason Anderson, of 7238 Vervoort Lane, whose residence is adjacent to the lot
being developed, stated he moved into this area 5 years ago and at that time he
had a concern the adjacent lot would be developed. He stated they have three
children and plan to raise their children in the area. He pointed out there would
be 10 feet between the lot line and the building and their view across the street

would be another unit. He also said in regards to the trees, most of them would be
taken down with the project. Mr. Anderson said he is also concerned with the
increased traffic this project would bring to the area.
Gamal Eshmawy, who was the previous owner to this property, stated when he
sold the property it was agreed there would be built on this lot four single family
units; which he was to have one of these units to purchase at a reduced price. Mr.
Eshmawy stated this was agreed on before signing the purchase agreement. He
gave Chair Stoelting a copy of the agreement for official record.
Joan Carroll, of 13764 Fenwick Ct, stated initially she was fine with the proposal
but after hearing Mr. Eshmawy speak she has some reservations.
Patricia Harris, of 7262 Vervoort Lane, stated she is the original owner of her
home. She pointed out Mr. Lazniarz never did meet with all of the neighbors as
he stated. She stated the proposed twin homes would be in their area. She is
concerned there is only 5 proposed off street parking spaces, which she felt could
be an issue. Mrs. Harris stated she would rather see this area developed into
single family homes. She pointed out there are many kids in the area and feels the
single family homes would be conducive to families. She showed illustrations of
Mr. Lazniarz's Sommerset project, utilizing the overhead projector, and pointed
out how compact the town homes are in the area. She also read a letter from her
husband, who was unable to attend, in which he supports her concerns.
Margaret Perry, of 13715 St. Andrew Drive, stated she is also concerned with the
parking in the area and pointed out St. Andrew Drive is not very conducive to off
street parking. She is also concerned the cottonwood trees would be taken down.
Ms. Perry said she has reservations about the driveway that would be put in for
this project and stated it is very close to the front of her house and she is
concerned with the traffic this would produce and the headlights shining in her
front window. She utilized the overhead projector to show where the driveway
would be located in proximity to the front of her home.
Jess Irmiter, of 7270 Vervoort Lane,pointed out the meeting with the project
proponent was very limited. He stated he has numerous concerns for this project
and they are as follows; driveway issue, wetland area and drainage issues, and the
senior housing issue based on the fact that it is very difficult to segregate an area
as senior housing.
Mrs. Husby, who lives in the town homes in the area, said she is concerned with
looking at the rooftops of this proposed development.
Stoelting summarized the following issues:
1. Tree loss in the area
2. Increased traffic
3. Previous owner and contract issues
4. Parking
5. Cottonwood tree loss

6. New road drive outlet
7. Water run-off
8. Roof lines
Mr. Lazniarz addressed the issues of the trees, setbacks, and traffic. He stated if
this project were to change to single family homes it would not change any of the
setbacks. In regards to the trees,he said the loss would be the same for either the
town homes or single family homes. Mr. Lazniarz pointed out when they initially
proposed the condos, this project would have saved numerous trees. Also, with
the condo development, the building could be kept lower which would require
less fill. Mr. Lazniarz said in extending up Vervoort Lane would cause more tree
loss. In regards to traffic, he said if Vervoort Lane is not extended, the private
drive would be created, which would take traffic off of that area. He also said
senior units would create less traffic than 4 single family homes. Mr. Lazniarz
said in regards to the contract issue, Mr. Eshmawy had a contract agreement with
CRE Construction. He said the purchase agreement was bought by his company
and the agreement the past owner gets a single family lot was dismissed from the
agreement. Mr. Lazniarz stated they offered Mr. Eshmawy the following:
1. They offered options to commensurate below average compensation for
the lot
2. Sell Mr. Eshmawy back the property for$350,000, plus incurred expenses
3. Sell Mr. Eshmawy a unit(8 acres) across the street from the property
4. Or create one single family home on the twin home property
Mr. Lazniarz said he came to an agreement with Mr. Eshmawy that he would
receive $75,000. Mr. Lazniarz thought they were still under that agreement
Leslie Dahlen, a realtor that set up the meetings with the neighbors, stated the
reason they could not get all of the neighbors together at once was because they
were never in agreement as to time and date. She also stated she could not reach
the Harris residence to inform them of the meetings because they have an unlisted
phone number.
Mr. Lazniarz stated in regards to parking, there are five onsite parking spots but
what needs to be considered is the garage space and the two car space outside of
each unit, which would give a total of 21 parking spaces. Mr. Lazniarz stated in
regards to the neighbor whose home is across the street from the private drive, he
said his company looked into this issue and they found the driveway is positioned
such that the car headlights would never shine in the homeowner's windows.
Pertaining to the issue of water run-off, Mr. Lazniarz stated the architects have
assured him they have taken appropriate wetland standards into consideration and
they will also be bringing in fill to the site. Mr. Lazniarz said in regards to the
rooftops, it would not make a difference if they had rambler-type single family
homes or rambler-type town homes. The roof tops would still be the same. He
also said there would be a 4 foot high retaining wall in the backside of the
property. In regards to Mrs. Husby, Mr. Lazniarz said they would be willing to
plant trees in her yard to act as a buffer for the rooftops.

Stoelting asked Fox to address the issue of cottonwood trees. Fox stated out of
the 63 trees in the area, only 9 are significant trees, which would be the
cottonwood trees. He said all but two of the cottonwoods would have to be
removed. He also pointed out they are looking at an 80% tree loss,but said
whatever style of home would go in that area, there would be significant tree loss.
Stoelting asked Franzen if he were to go forward with single family homes, would
the project proponent have to make an additional presentation at an informational
meeting? Franzen stated the project proponent could proceed to the public
hearing.
Kirk asked Franzen to comment on the senior restrictive housing. Franzen stated
if it was low income or affordable housing, and TIF was involved the city could
designate what is could be used for.
Pitzrick asked if single family homes would be feasible financially. Mr. Lazniarz
said 4 lots would not be feasible,but 5 lots would be. Mr. Lazniarz pointed out
this area is not a very attractive development site and he does not feel people will
spend the money for single family homes. He said $700,000 homes would be
hard to sell in that area.
Stoltz asked Mr. Lazniarz to put up a picture of the end of Vervoort Lane and
asked him to discuss the tree loss. Mr. Lazniarz utilized the overhead projector to
show a picture of Vervoort Lane. He said they would save more trees with a
private drive rather than extending Vervoort Lane. Stoltz asked if the current
residents would be looking at the units. Mr. Lazniarz said the setbacks would be
the same for either single family homes or town homes and they would be willing
to plant more trees for buffers. He said four single family homes will have the
same environmental consequences as town homes. Fox stated houses 10 feet
from the property lines would not be able to house trees as buffers because there
would be no room. He also said it is difficult to analyze this because there is no
grading plan in effect. Franzen reiterated this point by stating with the mass of
the building there would not be much room for trees.
Koenig asked Franzen about the parking issue. Franzen stated there is adequate
parking for this proposal.
Koenig asked Mr. Lazniarz if he considered putting up 2 buildings with 4 units
each. Mr. Lazniarz said financially it would be very difficult. Koenig said the
pricing of the town homes would not be much lower than the single family
homes. Mr. Lazniarz stated in looking at the costs, there would be a considerable
difference between the two.
Koenig asked Franzen how this project could be labeled as senior housing.
Franzen stated the City does not need more market rate units but rather affordable
housing.

Mr. Lazniarz stated they originally proposed the condo building to put in
affordable units and to save trees but the neighbors did not like this concept
because the units were cheaper than the other housing in the neighborhood.
Koenig stated the condominiums just did not fit into the area.
Kirk stated the town home proposal would have less traffic and would be less
intrusive than single family homes.
Stoelting pointed out this is an informational meeting and he would like to see a
little more detail in regards to the single family homes. Koenig said the
Commission should give the developer more direction on the cul-de-sac issue or
opening up Vervoort Lane. Powell stated he was surprised that the neighbors on
Vervoort Lane opposed a private drive versus going through Vervoort Lane.
Powell also said he would want the legal issue resolved in regard to the contract
issue. Stoelting asked Franzen to address this issue. Franzen said it was a private
party issue. Stoltz stated it would be in the best interest of everyone involved if
there was a resolution to the contract before it was approved. Kirk stated the town
home proposal would have less traffic and would be less intrusive than single
family homes for Vervoort residents.
Duckstad said there is not enough information presented tonight to make a
decision. He felt the neighbor's concerns should be taken into consideration.
"Stoelting summarized by stating the Planning Commission would like to see
both proposals more fully developed, especially the single family home plan, and
to include several different site plans. The developer agreed to work on the new
proposals and to present them at a future meeting with the residents.

overhead projector. He stated it does meet the setback requirements and material
requirements. He also showed the different brick types that would be used in the
building. He pointed out the architectural design would be carried out on all four
sides of the building. He stated in reference to Walgreens, they are trying to
coordinate the design of the building to that of the proposed buildings. Mr. Farr
stated in regards to the walkways, there would be a generous walkway around the
buildings. He said there would be a general landscape buffer along Breezy Way
and the developers would also eliminate the service corridor along the backside of
the building that would face the residential area.
Stoelting asked the project proponent to address the road improvements. Ms.
Simonstad illustrated the road improvements utilizing the overhead projector.
She pointed out they would be removing the old medians and replacing them with
new ones. She stated this is a very expensive project and she will continue to
meet with the Staff on this issue.

meeting in regard to this project. He stated he liked a lot of the ideas that were

the visitor parking for the town home association is located on this property. He
stated the project proponent stated they could still park in the area, and he just
wants to make sure that is still carried out.
Steve Mohn, of 9812 Lee Drive, stated he does like this plan. His only concern is
they like the concept of the two small buildings and does not want to see it turned

addressed any parking spaces as of yet,but will address this situation. In regards
to access and headlights, she said the access into the property would not impact
the residents.
Mr. Farr stated the market supports a flat roof contemporary design. Stoelting
stated the staff report recommends the slope roof design. Mr. Farr stated he
appreciates the concept of the sloped roof but they would like to use the flat roof
design. Franzen stated typically projects located in a residential area should
transition into the area. He stated the architects should capture a few aspects of
the Walgreens building and incorporate it into their design. Franzen stated Staff
will leave it up to the architects to create a design that is consistent and with a
residential character.
Pitzrick said in regards to the roof situation, he would like to make sure it is an
attractive roof. In regards to the south side of the parking area,he would like to

make sure there is no problem with shared parking. Stoelting asked Franzen to
address the issue of shared parking. Franzen stated all of the areas were designed
to stand alone in regards to parking. He stated all four parcels will have to enter
into an agreement in regards to parking.
Koenig stated to Franzen since the Commission approved the previous PUD, the
proponent is bound by that one. Franzen stated the city is under no obligation to
amend the approved plan and agreement. The commission has the discretion to
recommend an amendment to the plan if you believe the plan is acceptable.
Koenig asked Franzen for a comparison of tree loss between the approved plan
and the proposed plan. Franzen stated the only difference would be the two oak
trees that would have to be removed. Stoelting asked Franzen if the two oak trees
could be saved by repositioning the coffee shop. Franzen stated they could be
saved by repositioning the coffee shop. Fox said the only trees left on this site
would be the trees in the land dedicated to the City. Ms Simonstad said they will
replace any trees as required by the City.

roof.

David Tupper, landscape architect, showed additional illustrations of the
landscaping plan utilizing the overhead projector.
Stoelting asked Franzen to review the staff report. Franzen stated the conclusions
of the staff report indicates there still needs to be more work done on the store
fronts. Franzen pointed out if the store front is not revised now it would be up to
the Staff and the architects to come up with a design. Otherwise, the Commission
should make recommendations to the plan. Franzen also stated the Commission
can give PUD approval to this phase of the project and send that on to the City
Council, and the rezoning would be continued.
Stoelting opened the meeting up for public input. There was no public input.
Pitzrick stated he had a concern with the Dryvit material and would like to see a
solid warranty going along with this project, along with a third party inspection.
Bob Dazel, a representative of Dryvit, said all the products used would fall into a
10 year warranty. He stated if there is any type of moisture damage under
warranty they will take full responsibility. He pointed out they only warrant
faulty materials, the insulator would have to warrant his work. Stoltz asked
Franzen if he was comfortable with the use of this project. Franzen stated in
addressing this issue, the project proponent is in compliance. He also stated
because they are asking for waivers, the Commission does have some flexibility
in regards to this issue. Kirk stated it is important to challenge the project
proponent,but he does not feel the Commission has the expertise to criticize the
product. Duckstad asked the project proponent to address the issue of durability
of this product. Mr. Pletz said he is very comfortable with the durability of this
product. Duckstad stated as long as the architect and the City Planner are
comfortable with this product than the Commission should not micro-manage it.
Stoelting stated he does not want the Commission to get bogged down on this
issue and to discuss other issues of the project. Franzen summarized the project
stating overall it was a very good project.
Mr. Scott stated they have addressed specific issues this evening but the only
thing they cannot accommodate would be a specific store front, and stated it
would need to be flexible. Stoltz asked Franzen if he was comfortable with the
store fronts. Franzen stated revising the store fronts is a recommendation from
the Staff. The Commission can either agree or modify the recommendation. If the
final design is left to the developer and staff, the Commission will have to be
comfortable without having input into the final details. Stoltz commented he
would feel comfortable with the City Staff in charge of completing the revisions
as stated in the report. In regards to the store fronts, Franzen commented he wants
