Public Works Director Moore stated at the present time this is
not an improved street right of way. It is a partial access to
two homes. Staft doesn't support the vacation because it would
take away the street frontage to two properties. The attorney
for the petitioner has called and asked that the Council adjourn
the hearing until the second meeting in 3anuary so the
petitioners can be present.
1. Mayor Davenport opened the public hearing at 7:47 p.m.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Moen, seconded by Counellmember

Motion carried.
Manager Willis stated this public hearing Was to consider a
request from Burgess Industries for funding under the Small
Cities Economic Development Program, a program Which the State
legislature has adopted to give smaller firms funds to either
expand or retain employment in Minnesota. If Burgess is
successful, the money, $250,000, would be repaid, however, the
City would be able to retain th,e first $100,000 of that money to
be used for development related activities. It is not
anticipated that the State Would renew their funding of this
program. In the event that it would be renewed, the City ciuld
only make such an application once per year.
Mayor Davenport opened the public hearing at 7:52 p.m.
Dennis BurgeMo President of Burgess Industries, stated he would
move 25 full positions to Plymouth and planned to increase
thin to 52 within two years. He added that time is of the
essence as there are other cities competing for the remaining
funds in the program.

homes. Present hoses exceeding the 20% coverage would be
deducted from the total approved. The Planning Commdssion
o recommended allowing up to 30% coverage on 10% of the homes.
L
Mx. Marian Peterson, representing the petitioner, stated they
were request ng at least 30% coverage on 20% of the lots. There
are large, quality homes there now and they would like to be
able to keep up that style. The recommended 10% would not allow
them sufficient additional homes of this size.

Planner Tremere stated that to his knowledge there have been no
administrative adjustments authorized for over 228 lot
coverage. The Planning Commission's concern was the PUD plan
and the impact this would have on it.
NOTION was wade by Councllmember Crain, seconded by Mayor
Davenport adopt a resolution denying the request.
Councilmember Crain stated his reason is that he is concerned
with they precedent and not with this specific PUD= he could not
justify denying other petitioners. He is also concerned about
the impact which increased lot coverage would have on the storm
water drainage system. He believes the Council should review
the general matter with the Planning Cometission b«fore they
consider such an amendment.
Councilmember Schneider stated that If other petitioners came
forth and could show that they would protect the natural
amenities on the site as Mr. Peterson has, he would consider
them also.
Councilnember Neils added that this is one of the few PUDs in
recent years which does what the ordinance wants In terms of the
environment and enhancements. To deny the request would be to
penalize Mr. Peterson.
Notion failed. Mayor Davenport, Caunctlp-o.t,bers Schneider,
Neils, and Moen voted nay.
MOTION was made by Councilmemher Schneider, seconded by
Couneilmember Moen, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 84468 APPROVING

Motion carried on a Roil Call vote, four ayes. Councilmember
Crain voted nay.
Manager Willis stated the Planning Commission considered the
request of Donald Paschke for a subdivision code variance for
the creation of two lots from on,4 existing .tot at 700 Harbor
Lane and recommended that it not be approved.
Planner Tremere stated the Planning Coemission was concerned
about the precedence this would set as there is undeveloped
property adjacent to this site.
David Johnson, attorney for Mr. Paschke, explained the history
of tre ot. Mr. Paschke is currently buying the lot and is
proposing that It be subdivided to allow another home to be
built. The present home was built before setback requirements
were established. The present home would be on a lot of 110
feet wide which would meet the City's requirements. The
proposal requires only one variance for the width of the new
lot.
Mr. 9ohnson listed the requirements of the ordinance, she
criteria for approving the request, and how their proposal would
meet all of them. He also suggested the petitioner would
consider a more equal division. Owners of adjacent land were
contacted and none wanted to buy this lot or sell land to the
petitioner.
Couneilmember Schneider pointed out that if the adjoining lets
were sold to Individuals, they could also ask for similar
variances if this request were approved.
Mr. 3ohn3on pointed out that there are existing lots platted
at 80 feet frontage on Harbor Lane.
Planner Tremere stated that all the lots have been consoiidated
and are now one legal parce'..

had cons Bred several proposals. This was selected because
they would not have to request a lot width variance at the
building autback line and the variance would be on the street
only. He think: it is unlikely this would set a precedent
because of the location of the existing house and the dimension

program consisting of a self-funded "short term" program
providing 65 days pay and insured long term disability
coverage. This proposal would allow the employees to either
continue on the present plan or elect to be part of a suggested
plan which would pay the employee for unused disability leave
upon death, resignation or retirement. To participate in the

election, This election would revise the waiting period for the
long term disability program from 90 to 180 calendar days.
