on a front foot basis. He also explained the options for paying the assessments.

are not included in the GMH bid.
Mayor Slavik opened the public hearing.
Roberta Hooyman, 2240 Ranchview Lane North, #73, spoke on behalf of herself and Pintail
Villas and presented written materials to the Council. She stated the $756,000 amount includes

the assessed amount includes the GMH Asphalt bid and the work related to replacement of water
and sewer mains. She stated if the City assesses 40% of the total project cost including the water
and sewer repairs, then the amount that should be assessed is $286,000, not $329,000. If the City
assesses 40% of the cost without including the water and sewer repairs, this amount should be
155,348 and stated residents are being asked to fund 85% of the total asphalt bid. She asked for

8.02) Reguiding, Rezoning, and Preliminary Plat Approval for "Brockton East" located in
the Wayzata School District (U.S. Home Corporation, d/b/a Lennar — 201311)
Senior Planner Darling stated the applicant proposes to subdivide the site into 25 lots for single-
family homes and the reguiding is intended to adjust the boundary using the creek to provide a
more natural transition between the higher density uses and the single-family homes south of the
creek. She advised that the applicant proposes to rezone the property from FRD to RSF-3 and
the proposal includes trails, sidewalks, tree removal, and wetland buffers in conformance with
the zoning requirements. She stated that the Planning Commission considered the request on
May 21 and three residents from the Arbor Grove subdivision noted concerns about storm water
runoff overwhelming the culverts and backing up into their yards during heavy rain and the
Planning Commission added a condition that the applicant create an overflow swale between the
ditch and pond to relieve some of that drainage.
Mayor Slavik asked if the City has any future plans for trails and sidewalks on Brockton Lane.
Park and Recreation Director Evans replied the Comprehensive Plan does not currently show
anything for trails but will need to consider putting sidewalks or a trail along Brockton Lane.
Councilmember Willis felt that this might be the time to set aside an easement and have the
developer install a 5' concrete sidewalk. Park and Recreation Director Evans suggested that the
City secure an easement at this time so that the City can construct a contiguous trail at some
point in the future that goes down to Medina Road.
Motion was made by Mayor Slavik and seconded by Councilmember Johnson, to a adopt
Resolution Approving Reguidingforr Properties located at 4640 Brockton Lane (2013111 -

with the addition of a condition requiring the applicant to provide a 10' easement adjacent to the
Brockton Lane right-of-way for a future trail. With all members voting in favor, the motion
carried.
8.03) Reguiding, Sanitary Sewer Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Preliminary Plat for
Aspen Hollow" located in the Wayzata School District (Pulte Homes — 2014008)
Senior Planner Darling stated the applicant proposes to subdivide the property into 139 lots for
single family homes and the reguiding request will reguide the developable area from LA -RT to
Adopted Minutes 5 of 8 Regular Meeting of June 10, 2014
LA -R2 consistent with the properties on the east side of Dunkirk Lane. She stated the sanitary
sewer plan amendment would adjust the cumulative sewer flows and allow area D to be
developed by 2025 and the interceptor has adequate capacity to handle the flow at this time. She
advised that the applicant proposes to rezone the site from FRD to RSF-3 and the preliminary
plat includes an outlot for the Northwest Greenway trail corridor, one lot for a neighborhood
park, and one lot for an HOA lot. She stated that the proposed lots conform to the zoning district
requirements and staff is working to make sure there is adequate room in the trail outlot to allow
for one paved trail and one mowed trail. She noted that staff has directed the applicant to widen
the corridor and expand the park property on the north side to include Lot 14 and the resolution
includes a condition requiring the applicant to revise their plans accordingly.
Councilmember Willis requested clarification regarding the trail connection and further
information about the slopes in the development. Senior Planner Darling explained there is an 8'
trail proposed on an outlot adjacent to the required access point to the vacant parcel to the west
and this is not ADA accessible due to the slopes in many areas of the subdivision, adding that the
developer will not be able to include ADA access on all access points and there is a better
likelihood of ADA accessibility on the north end in the vicinity of the Northwest Greenway trail
corridor property. She noted that exact trail alignments have not yet been determined.
Councilmember Willis stated the Planning Commission moved to absorb Outlots A and C into
the adjacent lots and place utilities over the ponds on the westerly side and asked if it was
contemplated that those lot lines would extend westerly across the entire wetland. Senior
Planner Darling replied that Outlot A is a small remnant property between two lots and the City
owns Outlot B. She stated the City could have a trail easement over the top where the City wants
the trail to go through, adding it has been the City's goal to acquire all the properties for the Elm
Creek wetland basin but easements would accommodate the City's purpose as well.
Chad Onsgard, representing Pulte Homes, stated the slopes on the site are between 6.5-7% and
acknowledged the challenges across the site with 100' of elevation change from east to west.
Councilmember Prom asked if the property owners adjacent to the Plymouth Gun Club would be
notified. Mr. Onsgard replied that they have a disclosure that all homeowners would sign and
this disclosure is also included in the HOA declaration.
Councilmember Johnson asked if the developer has proposed any mitigation to buffer sound
from the Gun Club. Mr. Onsgard replied there are currently no plans to provide mitigation for
sound, adding that there is a 40' difference in elevation between the Plymouth Gun Club and the
proposed homes along with trees that will buffer sound.
Councilmember Prom questioned whether the City should consider a cul-de-sac that backs up to
the Plymouth Gun Club property. Community Development Director Juetten stated there are
three access points onto Dunkirk Lane and the Council could add a condition in the Final Plat
that the Council consider whether the road in the southern portion of the site should go through
or not.
Adopted Minutes 6 of 8 Regular Meeting of June 10, 2014
Motion was made by Councilmember Bildsoe, and seconded by Councilmember Willis, to adopt
a Resolution Approving a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Properties located from 5495 to

Property located northeast of 56th Avenue and Troy Lane in the Wayzata School District
Pulte Homes of Minnesota — 2014004)
Senior Planner Drill stated the applicant proposes to reguide the westerly portion of the site to
LA -R2 and reguide the northeast 4.8 acres to P -I and proposes to construct 128 single-family
units resulting in a density of 3.2 units per acre. He presented the Preliminary Plat depicting the
future alignment of Peony Lane and stated the application also includes a request to rezone the
parkland portion of the site to P -I and to rezone the remainder of the site from FRD to RSF-3.
Councilmember Willis asked about "Road C" on the west side of the park. Senior Planner Drill
explained that this road is stubbed to the property to the north and stated it was his understanding
that the School District is looking to purchase that property.
Councilmember Willis noted this street is 28' curb to curb and felt it was too narrow for school
buses and questioned whether the City should consider widening it for public safety purposes to
accommodate buses.
Councilmember Johnson stated that depending on what happens to the north, she did not
anticipate this road would be a main access and did not support widening of the road.
Public Works Director Cote stated since the City does not know the School District's plans, it
would be in the best interest of public safety to not cul-de-sac streets at this time and allow an
opportunity for a secondary access to the school site should that go forward.
Motion was made by Councilmember Willis, and seconded by Councilmember Johnson, to adopt
a Resolution Approving a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Reguide 39.3 Acres from LA -R1
to LA -R2 and to Reguide 4.8 Acres from LA -R2 to P -I for "Enclave on the Greenway" (2014004

and advised that the project includes replacement of the Schmidt Lake Road and County Road 47
bridges at no cost to the City. He stated that MnDOT will begin temporary work this year and in
January 2015, MnDOT will let a second project for the remainder of the work occurring in 2015
and 2016. He stated that during construction, MnDOT would try to maintain two lanes during
peak traffic and one lane during off peak. He pointed out that MnDOT and the Met Council
have asked the City to address the issue of the future managed lane as noted in the proposed
resolution and staff finds the language acceptable.
Councilmember Willis asked if any improvements are planned for the County Road 9 bridge or
ramps. Public Works Director Cote replied that County Road 9 is outside the scope of the
project and the roadway under County Road 9 does not necessitate any change for MnDOT's
purposes.
Motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, and seconded by Councilmember Bildsoe, to
adopt a Resolution Approving the Proposed Final Layout for the Interstate 494 Project (Layout
No. 5 SP 2785-330 - Res2014-213). With all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
