Council revMwed the conditions for approval submitted by the
Planning Commission and a lengthy discussion followed on the
established high rater elevation and the proposed density for
toe plat. The Engineer stated the 998 high water elevation
was established when the City's Storm Drainage Plan was approved
in 1914. The Engineer replied to Council's questions regarding
water drainage problems in the area and Councilmember Neils
stated this plat should be designed in such a way as to alleviate
s+mne of the water problssns in the area or, at least, not to
aggravate them.
Planner Tremere reviewed the Planning Commission's recommenda-
tions and the guiding in the area pointing out the LA -2 area
would be extended to Dunkirk Lane.
John S aath, petitioner. stated providing a 12 acre pond and
dropping the high water elevation in toe area would assist the
water problems in the area. He further seated his proposal for
LA2 in the plat is not bringing in Zometh,ng that does not already
exist at the present time since there is some R-4 and R-2 in the
artta to the ease. Mr. Spaeth regLasted that he be.% allowed some
density credit for the ponding area since he is providing ponds
to alleviate area water problems. He further stated he would like
to build the quadriminiums as proposed and planned to provide
transition from the existing single family housing by berming.
Steve Reinke. 16511 - 30th Avenue N. , representing IKipl edel l home-
owners Associations read a statement supporting the Planning Com-
mission's original denial of the concept plan for l:ll ie Ponds for
the following reasons: 1) the location of Medina Road has not yet
been approved by DNR and it is, at present, only a proposal; 2) the
land south of proposed Redna Road should be LA -1 to reflect the
existing development; 3) present water problems in the area should
be resolved before any further development takes place; 4) the
wildlife habitat will be disturbed, and the City should be prudent
in development of such areas. Rr. Reinke .asked for clarification
of the Council's transition policy in RPUD's and stated he felt the
proposed four foot berm would not be sufficient to provide transition
from the single family homes. he further stated the quadrim4nium
development is inconsistent with development on any side, and when
the LA -2 was approved at the time the Land Use Guide Plan was adopted,
the area was open ,and there was no si nllle family development In the
area.

Mayor Hunt responded to the concerns of the baplede11 homeowners
stating 1) the location of Medina Road would be, considered in
the Environmental Assessment Worksheet process, and would be
determined by the Council; 2) Councii would consider transition
and whether LA•2 guiding was appropriate for the area; 3) the
City's Storm Water Drainage plan will tie followed to address the
rater storage needs and problems in the area; and $) DNR, along
with other agencies, makes the decision as to whit area is wet-
land and and what is not. The Mmyor then reviewed the Planning
Commission's recommendations and the condi!lons of the proposed
resolution approving Concept Plan A. There was discussion of
Condition 6 of the resolution designating the LA -1 and LA -2 areas.
Councilmember Davenport objected to extending the LA -2 guiding as
far as Dunkirk Line. There was further discussion on whether the
transition policy requirements were satisfied lathe plan as pro-
posed. Planner Tremere rL4v i ewed the Planning Commission's Inter.
pretatfvn
nter-
pretativn of the proposed LA -2 area and density for the plat.
Councilmember Schneider questioned whether a 40 -acre parcel, In
which most of the land is under water, can be developed under the
PUD ordinance. %yor Hunt stated there was precedent for such a
development, but density cannot be determined on this plat until
the high water level is vepified by DNR anti the City Engineer.
He stated the main Concern of residents appeared to be the type
of housing propo-sed.
MOTION was made by Councilmemler Neils, seconded by Council -
member Hoyt, to idopt a Resolution approving Concept Plan for

Howard Dahl ren, repre,jenting petitioner, introdiced
s assoc ate 16s Btais, the petitioner and petitioner's
petitioner'; at'.orney, We Robert Koffitdn. He stated
a restaurant was an appropriate use for this site and
was approvixt Oy Council in 1974. The cf.)nrept of
restaurant facilities within an indastrixl park is a
well accepted ::ie and a viable land use, Mr. Dahlgren
displayed the :lite plan for a proposed Class I, full-
service restaurant, stating it should be approved for
the follawing real;ons: 1) the land use is suitable;
2) the buildinjl i:; of better quality than that approved
for Uncle John s in 1974; 3) traffic created by this
restaurant wi 1 l not conflict with traffic in the indus-
trial park since it will not be open for breakfast;
4) the. land area was originally one acre, but after
dedication of right-of-way easements, only .85 acre
remains and the Council had taken that into account
in approving the Uncle John's Restaurant; 5) they are
proposim: 72 parking spaces, which exceeds ordinance
requiremi,nt 1 f 65 spaces; 6) the proposed ground coverage
is 13.3 p%, ecent versus the 25 percent allowable; 7) there
has Trot been any adverse comment from adjacent land owners.
Council questioner' Mr. Dahlgren about the variames
required for the Froposed site plan. Councilmember
Neils expressed concern that there were more variances
titan there was compliance with the ordirunce. He stated
the Uncle John's Restaurant was not developed and this
proposal will be reviewed on its merits. Councilmember
paver -port quest 4uned rm . Dahlgren as to the grounds,
including hardship, to justify approximately 17 variances.
Mr. Dahlgren replied a site plan for a restaurant had been
approved in 1974; easement and right •of-wav dedication had
reduced their site to .85 acre; and at Oi Land Ilse Guide Plan
and Zoning hearing several years Aga, .hey were reassured it
was an appropriate site for a restaurant. He stated this
restaurant was con,;idered the bast meangingful use. Court i I.
member Davenport at;iked why this, versus a smallor restaurant,
was the only meang`ngful use. Mr. Dahlgren replied a full•
service restaurant lass than 5,000 square feet i -t a rarity.
