density in Outlot E, since it was Council's intent that that area

easterly access from Outlot G onto County Road 9; and requiring
that intersection access to County Road 9 shall be provided to
the east compatible with intersections access to the north at
County Road 9.
Motion carried, four ayes.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Neils, seconded by Council -
member Spaeth, to reword Condition [ as follows: "Outlet

west corner designated for elderly housing, consistent with the
originally adopted concept plan.

APPROVING MODIFICATIONS 10 THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR
PLYMOUTH HILLS PLAT !A -E75) with the previously-adoptea con-
k.itions and the deletion of Conditions 7 and B.
MOTION TO AMEND was made by Councilmember Spaeth, seconded by
Councilmembar Hoyt, by adding Condition 7 requiring that the
proposed road extend from the 37th Avenue cul-de-sac northeasterly
into Outlot G through Outlot H and be built by the developer.
Motion to amend carried, four ayes.
Mr. Knutson stated it was the developer's intent to provide
256 units, as approved in the original concept plan, in Outlot
E with yuadraminimum units, which were allowed in LA -4 guiding.
He questioned whether it was the Council's intent to allow only
LA -4 apartments in Outlot E.
Councilmember Neils stated the original concept plan proposed
high density apartments adjacent to the proposed elderly
housing units. Council felt the propused quadraminimums in
Outlot E would be at the low end of the LA -4 guiding and would
not provide a transition between the elderly high-rise housing.
Mayor Hunt stated if quadraminiums were built in Outlot E. Council
felt future residents would eventually object to the construction
of the elderly high-rise housing proposed for the adjacent area,
as happened in the past in the Mission Hills development.
MOTION TO AMEND was made by Councilmember Neils, seconded by
Councilmember Spaeth, by rewording Condition 2 as follows:
Outlot E shall be guided LA -4 and shall be developed with
apartments, without regard to ownership concept., with mid -rise
structures, e.g., 4-6 stories, pre'erred, but not required,
and elderly housing shall be provided on approvina Lely 5 acres

Dan Fazendin, petitioner, stated he felt the proposed quadra-
minimums were consistent with the original "footprints" for
development presented at the time the original concept plan
was approved. He felt tre quads, as family -type structures,
would make it easier to obtain approval for federal funding for
the elderly housing. They felt this was an ideal locatioti
for elederly housing and they were prepared to offer some type
of guarantee tent this type of housing would be built in
tna; location.

Manager Willis reviewer the
the proposed improvement of
proceed only with the Medina
to allow development to take
Engineer's recommendation to defer
Vicksburg Lane in Project 908 and
Road improvement and storm sewer
plate in a more economical manner.
George Jackson, 6480 Murray Hill Road, stated the additional assess-
ment burden NTacea on the property by the development of Medina
Road and Vicksburg Lane would make development of his property
unfeasible and the proposed improvements would not benefit
his property.
Councilmember Neils stated because of development contract
comn:itr.ents on the west frontage of Vicksburg Lane, the ulitmate
improvement of Vicksburg Lane cannot be unduly delayed, but he
did not find the Engineer's recommendation and the developers'
petition unreasonable. Further, the ultimate upgrading of
Vicksburg Lane to urban section must be concluded with or
shortly after the westErn portion of Vicksburg Lan alv.1 Down-
town P'iymouth is completed.
Dave Kohner, representing Liberty Shamrock Corporation, stated
his company owned 40 acres on the southwest corner of Highway 55
and Vicksburg Lane and expressed support of Mr. Jackson's petition
to defer improvement of Vicksburg Lane until some time in the
futHe felt improvement of Vicksburg would be premature at
this time.
James Griod, 2101 Terraceview Court, questioned whether the original
deveTopment contract for Shenandoah with Quality Homes required
the developer to widen Vicksburg Lane. Manager Willis replied
it did not. Mr. Geod inquired why Shenandoah was included in the
storm sewer portion of the assessment. Mayor Hunt replied because
Shenandoah contributed water to that drainange district.
Don Anderson, representing Volp Construction, supported Mr. Jackson's
petition to defer cotistruction of Vicksburg Lane since the
assessments to their property i.t this time would be excessive
and amount to more than they plid for the land. They are ready
to submit a plan for developme t of the remainder of the Play-
house 2nd Addition. He also stated some action should be taken
at this time so that the assessment for Medina Road could be
spread over the entire area.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Spaeth, seconded by Councilmember-
Hoyt, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 74-129, A RESOLUTION ORDERING

Motion carried, four ayes.
Council recessed from 10:25 to 10:35 p.m.
Council discussed the proposed addition to the Public Utilities
Building, Project No. 308. Councilmember Spaeth felt the plan
was too expansive and should be handled in phases. Councilmember
Neils stated two-story storage was not efficient. and felt -.ddi-
tional storage should be provided on the first floor. Hi suggested,
if the building project was phased, the first phase should provide
vehicle storage and the second phase office and lunchroom
facilities. There was discussion of whether the Council Chamber
arei. could provide sufficient office space with a minimum of
remodeling. Engineer Moore replied he had recently visited
buildings :n the area of similar design and he found balcony
storage fr;r• tires and iters that are used seasonally to be most
economical. First floor storage would be more expensive than
the balcony storage and diff;cult to keep secure. He stated that
using the old Council Chambers for office space would bring
traff!c through the garage area which he wished to avoid. He
stated the present plumbing for the toilet facilities would be
utilized with some expansion. Manager Willis said staff would
investigate the use of movable partit'ons rather than constructing
permanent partitions in the office.

Hoyt, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 79-130, A RESOLUTION ORDERING

Mr. W. J. Cavertau h, 2015 N. Aquila Avenue, Golden Valley,
protested the proposed improvement of Vicksburg Lane with
a median strip adjacent to his property at the northeast inter-
section of Highway 55 and Vicksburg Laoe. He claimed the median
strip would prevent access to his property and not allow him to
develop the p•ircel. He asked that Council approve a clic in the
median opposite his driveway 400 feet north of Highway 55 to give
access to his property from Vicksburg,
Manager Willis stated there is access from 35th Avenue to serve
Mr. Cavanaugh's parcel. Mayor Hunt responded as long as the
property remains in the present residential use, it will continue
to have access to Vicksburg Lane. At such time it changes from
residential use, ii site plan must be presented to the City providing
for another ac.ces!, to the parcel. Councilmember Neils stated the

Vicksburg Lane will be the only complete north to south thorough-
fare in the City, and as this area develops, the high rate of
traffic on Vicksburg will demand signalization of the int?rsection
with Highway 55. This will result in traffic stacking at that
intersection across the Vicksburg frontage of Mr. Cavanaugh's
property, making any private drive ;ty access hazardous and virtually
useless.
Mr. Cavanaugh stated again he could not develop his property with-
out access to Vicksburg Lane and petitioned for a median cut
opposite his driveway.
Mayor Hunt stated the problem can only be resolyed by going through
the normal process of seeking site plan approval from the Planning
Commission and Council so that a fair decision may be achieved.
He stated Mr. Cavanaugh's request for a median cut would be dealt
with at the time the final plans and specifications for the project
were ordered. Engineer Olson stated the final plans and specifica-
tions would be brought to Council for approval at the March 19
meeting.
Mayor Hunt reported that he had a communication from the Maynr of
M'.nnetonka requested the Council's support of Mr. Al Illies for
he League of Minnesota Cities' C.C. Ludwig Award and he fell
the Council's support was warranted.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Neils, seconded by Council -
member Hoyt, that the Council endorse Connie Scott's participation
on the Advisory Board of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights.
Motion carried, four ayes.
There was discussion of the Rnird of Zoning Adjustmen+'s ruling
that the Code requir-s a driveway to be not closer than 15 feet
