PROJECT 846 RAPPAPORT AUDITION AND ADJACENT AREA PUBLIC HEARING Manager Willis reviewed the proposed project and Engineer PROJECT 846 Moore reviewed the costs involved. RAPPAPORT ADDITION AND ADJACENT AREA Mayor Hunt opned the public hearing at 7:57 p.m. Item 6-B Ed Kerschke, 3030 larch Lane North, presented a letter from property owners of the seven parcels adjacent to the proposed Rappaport development with the following requests: 1) that the project be split into two projecL3 separating the seven existing homes from the lot1c in the Rappaport Addition; 2) that the developer adhere to his agreement to bring the road up to City standards at no cost to present residents; 3) that a safe access be provided at the intersection of the proposed 30- Avenue to West Medicine Lake Drive; 4) that the roAd grade on Larch Lane be maintained to insure access to existing driveways; 5) that cont•inuois access to all homes be provided during construction; 6) that consideration be given to the channelling of ctorni drainage to the lake; 7) that a study be made of the sewer routing to obtain any economies possible; 8) that a performance bond be required of the developer; and 9) that compliance with the Council and Planning r-:„i;sioi, reccimnendations be enforced. John Strou::h,3070 Larch Lane, stated he was the owner of lotown ^the- lake and inquired if Lot 1 would be assessed and how he would be assessed for street improvements. Mayor Hunt replied if Lot 1 is not a buildable parcelit would not be assessed and if Mr. Strouth used Larch Lane for access he would pay a partial assessment even though he does not have frontage on the road. Mr. Strouth asked about the cost of the lift pump required to serve his home. Mayor Hunt responded Mr. Stt-outh would be responsible for the cost of installing a lift pump for his home and for the cost of its operation, Mr. Strough stated he felt an assessmenLL of $12,000 on his property would be excessive since his property is valued at $19,090. Mayor Hunt replied the Assessment Committee would consioer the most economical way to serve his lot, 91- Regular Council Meeting April 2, 1979 Page 92 ion Rappaport, stated if he had to assume extra costs above his assessments it would make the devO opment of his plat unfeasible. He felt the proposed improvement would benefit the present residents on Larch lane. Bonnie Kerschke, 3030 Larch lane North, inquired if the City or the developer would be responsibie for grading Larch Lane and bringing in the fill to bring it up to grade. Engineer Moore replied the grading of the street is in the cost of the project, and the developer is responsible fo,A bringing the level of the lots in his development up to grade. The preliminary plans indicate the City will require 1400 yards of fill for the project. Mrs. Kerschke stated she was told the developer was responsible for the grading and fill necessary for the road, and present residents would be assessed for the asphalt only. Councilmember Neils replied they would not be responsible for any internal grading costs within the Rappaport plat, and if there are! any unusual grading requirements on larch Lane due to the Rappaport plat development, those costs would be assessed to that. plat. Normal changes in the grade of the street during construction would be part of normal project costs. The developer must pro. - vide reasonable access to housei proposed in the Rappel port Addition and will be responsible for internal grading in the development to accomplish this. The ultimate design of Larch Lane will provide reasonable driveway grades for all existirg properties. Ed Kirscht, Senior Engineering Aide, stated he informed Mr;. Kerschke the developer would be responsible for k ri ng i ng the lots within the Rappaport Addition up to a reasonable grade, Al 'fombers, 3020 Larch Lane, inquired if the sewer line would come upTong the lake and if the Favor property will be assessed. Mayor Aunt replied the sewer line would not serve the area north of the Rappaport plat and property south of Councy Road 9 would be served f om the North Central I i t e rcep to r, The hearing was closed at 8;45 p.m. Councilme^ber Neils commented on the cost apportionment of the project, stating the Assessment Committee will attempt to see that the present residents will not have to pay any of the costs for the n"appaport Addition, and Mr. Rappaport will not have to pay any of their costs. Councilmemher Spaeth stated residents will pay for normal grading involved to provide a proper street grade and sight distance, but will not have to pay for any unusual amount of fill. 92= 1 Regular Council Meeting April 2, 197; Page 93 MOTION was made by Councilmember Spaeth, seconded by Council- RCSOLUTION N0. 1q-176 member Neils, to adopt RESOLUTI014 NO. 79-176, A RESOLUTION O INdo IMPROTi'F1RM ORDERING IMPROVEMFN*i AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICA- FINAL PLANS & SPECS TIONS FOR THE RAPPAPORT ADDITION AND ADJACENT AREA, PROJECT PROJECT NO. 846 N0. 846, with the addition of Condition 3 stating that any RAPPAPORT ADDITION unusual requirew-nts for grading or fill shall be noted in &.

Vol,, 2125 Cheshire Lane North, expressed concern a out the apportionment of assessments for Project No. 702. Mayor Hunt replied Improvement Project No. 702 had been ordered by the Council and the Minnesota Department of Trans;ortation had agreed to participate in project costs. C. PROJECT 921 - HADLEY PLACE/QUEENSLANO AREA Manager Willis reviewed the proposed project noting the proposed plans show a need for sanitary sewer to serve the properties to the north along the east of Hadley Lake by a gravity sewer line that goes along the easterly side of the lake. Eng ier Moore described the two phases of the project in detail - Improvements to Queensland Lane and sanitary seiAer alnno Hadley Lake, Mayor Hunt opened the public hearing at 9:00 p.m. John Batson, 525 Queensland, stated -he has decided not to cviiv de his property so that a would not have to pay im- proverient costs oii 6th Avenue and Queensland Lane. He inquired why water was not being put in along with the sanitary sewer along the lake. Engineer Moore replied the wator can be run more economically along the street system when necessary, but the sanitary sewer must run by gravity. Mr. Batson inquired why; concrete curb and gutter was being required rather than asphalt. Mayor Hunt stated concrete curbing was required by City standards to be consistent with the surrounding neighborhood and to prevent deterioration of the road. Alma Diers, 610 Queensland, inquired why she was included in the assessmert area since she lived in the Faznndin- Krogness Addit;un and alrl..ady had utilities. Manager Willis responded there is a possibility of a water pipe going between her lot and her neighbor's lot, but she would not be ;iicluded in the assessment. Mrs. Diers stated the romoval of 23 trees from her lot and 15 trees from her neighbur's lot would change the appearance of thei,- homes drastically and she inquired if they would be com- pensated for this loss and if the trees would be replaced. PROJECT NO. 702 23RD AVENUE WEST OF FCRNBROOK LANE Item 6-A PUBLIC HEARING PROJEC 921 HADLEY PLACE/ QUEENSLAND AREA Item 6-C Regular Council Meeting April 2, 1919 P; ae 94 Councilmember Neils inquired if it would be possible to jack a portion of the sewer 'ine under the trees. Engineer Moore replied the trees go from front, tc ba 1 of the lots and it would not be economical to Ifo so. Earl Grove, 540 Queensiand, stated he felt it was not necessary to run an 8 Tnch ine into the Krogness property to loop the water line. He felt a 6 inch line that dead -ended at the end of Queensland would be sufficient. He ilso opposed concrete curb and gutter on a dead-end street. He inquired hrw far the sewer line would be run from the lake. Engineer Moore replied basically he line would be run iii the good soil along the lake, but a detailed survey will not be done until the final plans and specifications are ordered. Mr. Grove asked' what the depth of the sewer on Queensland would be at Mr. Batson's property. The Engineer replied 10 feet. Sherman Goldberg, representing Lundgren Bros., spoke in favor of the inprovement to Queensland lane which would benefit the Ferndale North plat, but stated they were not in favor of paying for the sewer line along Hadley Lake since it 14nuld not ber.,.'Zfit their plat which was being served by the sewer .;n Queenslan#: Lane, Marion Batson, 525 Queensland Lane, stated she opposed the sewer Tonga ey Lake and stated they preferred to connect to both sanitary sewer and water from Queensland. Size inquired if they do not divide their property and keep the five -acre parcel intact if they will be assessed for the sanitary sewer along Hadley Lake and if they will be assessed for a project serv,ng the property to the north if it is developed. Mayor Hunt replied they will be assessed for any line that runs through their property. Councilitember Neils stated the Assessment Committee would determine what the central systems costs were and what costs would be attributable to individual property owners. Mrs. Batson objected to concrete curb and gutter on Queensland since there is blacktop curb on the west side of the street. B-riVtta Johnson, 640 Queensland, expressed her concern that losing the trees between her lot and the Diers' lot would devalue her property. She asked if sanitary sewer would go in as well as the *ater line and how much land It would disrur:. Mayor Hunt replied a water line exclusively is proposed to go through her property, and it will require 20-25 feet. Mrs. Johnson stated there is only a 10 foot easement. Mayor Hunt replied the City would require a temporary construction easement for the additioral land required for the work. Mrs. Johnson questioned the need for a cul-de-sac at the end of Queensland and stated she hoped to see 6th AvenuE vacated eventuallt,. Mayor Hunt replied the cul-de-sac is required to allow City vehicles such as snowplows sufficient space to turn around. The hearing was closed at 9:35 p.m. 94- 1 Regular Council Meeting April 2, 1979 Page 9F Councilnv!mber Neils asked if any substantial economies could be gained ki having the northerly portion served via trunk line on the lake at the north end. Engineer Moore replied this Mould offset some depth but would require more sewer line. Council - member Neils inquired how much of a cut would be required at the high point of Queensland. The Engineer replied Queensland will be graded as much as possible to a%.commodate existing driveways. Councilmember Neils stated if' a sewer line from Hadley Lake is required, it %hould be built nuw with this project rather than going back at some other time and disrupting the area. The Council concurred that the sewer line along Hadley lake should be built as part of Project No. 921. Council discussed the need for concrete curb and gutter on Queensland. Mayor Hunt stated he felt the lasting quality of the street is subst+l:ntially greater with concrete curb and gutter. Councilmember Neils felt concrete curb and gutter would prev•!nt damage that might occur on a narrow street, such as Queensland, from traffic running over the curb and from snowplows, MOTION was made by Councilmember Hoyt, seconded by Council - member Neils, to include concrete curb and gutter in the improvement project. Motion carried, four ayes. There was a discussion of dead -ending the water line on Queensland versus looping the system. Manager Willis stated the street has a substantial amount of homes for a 6 inch line. To provide an adeL,jote amount of flow, it would be wise to put in an 8 inch line with a connection through the Fazendin-Krogness Addition. MUTION was made by Councilmember Neils, seconded by Council - member Speath, to adopt, RESOLUTION N0, 79-171, A RESOLUTION ORDERING IMPROVEMENT AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICA- TIONS FOR PROJECT ,VO. 921, HADLEY PLACE/QUEENSLAND AREA as proposed with the following exceptions: 1) the lakefront subtrunk shall be extended only to the north line of the proposed Lundgren Bros. plat; 2) final determination of location the water looping connection and sizing of the watermain on Queensland shall be determined based on information provided in the final plans and specifications, Motio i carried on a Roll Call vete, four ayes.

There followed a discussinn of the property to the west of the plat which s currently guided LA -2 but zoned I-1, and molan of providing access to that parc4l. Council - member Veils stated T'Ne northeast corner of the parcel to the west appears to be buildable, and 51st Avenue should be continued to the western boundary of the plat to provide access to this parcel. founcilmemeber Spae4%;iigreed to the ztension of 51s%, Avenue but felt the street should not .end in a cul-de-sac. Council further discussed the 1--1 guiding of the. parcel to `he west and the possibility of changing the guiding to R-0 unti, such time that it might be proposed for development. Rick '_'attire, representing petitioner, reviewed the prelimin- ary plat and indicated all lots, with the exception of Lot 1, have potential for rail servii.e. He stated the property to the west could be accessed from 49th A4enue.

John Sullivan. petitioner, stated the required dedication of r19ht-nP way would reduce the amount .-f saleable lard and the buildable area on the property. 9l Regular Council Meeting April 2, 1979 Page 98 Mayor Hunt replied it is a requirement of all subdivisions to carry the street to the boundary of the plat. Councilmember Neils stated if land use to the west changes before this plat returns for final approval, the problem of access may be resolved. MOTION was made by Mayor Hunt, seconded by Ccunci 1 member Neils, to direct the Planning Commission to call a public hearing to consider rezoning of the parcel to the west of the Ryan Business Center to be in conformity to the Guide Plan. Motion carried, four ayes.

Motion carried on a Roll ';all vote, four ayes. Manager Willis reviewed John Gassner's request for subdivision variance and lot division for parcel at 18225 County Road 24 79011), noting :he division would cr?ate t -o parcels sub- stand,ird in width and area. The Planning Commission re- cummerded denial of the request. Mary_Weinziesl, representing petitioner. stated petitioner, is wi l l int'l to bri.ig the lot up to City standards by bringing in fill and serving it with one communal driveway. The City would benefit from development of the lots by collection of the deferred special assessments on the property. Robert Richel, 18205 Couo ty Road 24, stated at present his lot drains ijcross Mr. Gassner's lot and he is concerned that when the lot is filled his lot will not have proper drainage. Councilmember Spaeth stated the lot is effectively divided by the restraints of the r+rainage area .ind if drainage is handled properly and Lonly one driveway installed, he believes the lot could be develr-.-.kd efl bctively. Councilmember Neils stated the lot width wda, s i i ghtly rrndpr the 110 foot requirement and both parcels slightly under the 18,5000 sq. ft. regvirerrent. Council discussed the impact of the dt-.Alopment of two lots in the nei ghl)orho%)d. MOTION was made by Councilmember Neils, seconded by Council- membet, Spaeth, to defer action on the request for subdivision variance and lot c:ivision for John Gass,ner, pending prepara- tion of a detailed drainage and storm sewer improvement pl-in to be incorporated as part of d short -form development coctract that would become part of lot division and also include pro- vision for a single driveway, park dedication, and sewer and RESOLUTION NO. 79-188 APPROVINS PRELIM.

Motion carried, three ayes Councilmember Hoyt abstained_ Mr. Riche] inquire:: if this request for variance would be vir1We1; as a hardship. Councilmember Neils replied if a reasonable use of the land is attainable by minor variances to the zoning code,, denial of those minor variances does impose a hardship on the use of the land. Cruncilmember Hoyt stated the owner was fully aware of the assessments on the property at the time of purchase and the 1,000 foot variance being requested on both lots will impact on the larger lot adjacent to the property. Mayor Hunt stated he felt the variances requested v -%re minor, but his f.iajor concern is th : proper drainage can be provided for the proposed lots so it would not affect anyine in a de- leterious manner. If the development of these lets can enhance the neighborhood, it would allow the C'ty to collect the assessments on the property. Manager Willis stated it is the responsibility of the petitioner to have an engineering study prepared which would take into consideration the effect of the proposed lots rin the adjacent parcels. Manager Willis reviewed Gregory Riggle's request for variance Arid concept plan for a mini -warehouse 4evelopment and c: e- taker's apartment on a site north of the Soo Line Railroad tracks on County Road 18, noting there is no sanitary sewer or water on the site and expressed his concern atout the lack of water for firefighting. Councilmember Spaeth expressed his concern about the narrow 25 foot turning lanes between the buildings, fire walls in the buildings, lack of fire hydrants and fire safety, and lack of parking area if the ;,se of the property chances. Councilmember Neils also expressed concern about the lack of multi -occupancy parking requirements in tyre future and the lack of public water for firefighting. Gre o ry C. Riggle, petitioner, reviewed the corcept plan for the devi4ment and displayed photographs of similar develop- ments his company operates. He stated if the use of the build- ings should change in the future, parking requirements could perhaps be met by using the stalls as covered parking areas or by eliminating some structures. Further, he agreed to place fire walls every 4,500 square feet and place fire extinguishers every 150 feet so that minor fires may be extinguished quickly. He stated this type of use results in very few pe)ple being on the premises on any day. He also claimed their fire in- surance rate was not any greater on these buildin5s than on buildings in areas where sewer and water was available. Mr. Riggie stated the site will be completely fenced with one entrance and lighted at night with 24-hour surveillance from the caretaker's ,apartment. 99- VARIANCE & CONCEPT PLAN ALLSTATE U-LUK STORACE GREGORY RIGGLE 19016) Item 7-0 Regular Council Meeting April 2. 1979 Page 100 MOTION was made by Councilmember Neils, seconded by Mayor Hunt, to adopt a Resolution Approving Request by Gregory Rig51e for Variance from Policy Resolution 'I*. 75-6t4 Regulating Urban Development in Un -serviced Areas (79016).
