The proposed assessments for this work are 90 percent of this amount; therefore, the Trenton residents are paying for reconstruction of other streets as well.

He stated that Union Terrace 1s in worse condition than Trenton Lane and is not planned for reconstruction this year, Director Moore stated Union Terrace reconstruction. Certain streets resurfacing in the early years of because it is more cost effective to allow it to deteriorate to a reconstruction is required, Manager Willis explained that the total project cost, not cyst for individual streets, 41. 4.1ying to share the burden cv project, may be planned for future have been chosen for the Reconstruction Program resurface a street than to condition where complete the City share is 70 percent of 70 percent of the Neconstruction The 70/30 cost sol i t is a means of er every property involved in the Meyor Bergman and Councilmember Helliwell noted that some cities assess 101 percent of the cost for reconstruction to the abutting properties., Councilmember Ricker shao•ed the concern that apartment units nay not be fairly assessed under the proposed formula.

Director Treme •e stated that were some Planned Unit Development (BUD) plans approved with the 9-foot/6-foot provision in the mid 1980's, but that the Council has required all single family detached PUO' s during recent years to have 10 -foot minimum side yards on both sides of the lots. The Planning Commission recommended the standard of 10 -feet on both lot sides in the Preliminary plan, Director Tromere stated the ptitioner has proposed 25 -foot front yard setbacks throughout the subdivision. 'staff recommends that 35 feet be the standard front bard setback, consistent wit's conventional and most other RNO tingle family detached plats, The Planning Commission recommended the 15-f,)ot minimum front yard setbacks, except where it can be dpmoristra ed that 29 -foot mintmon front yams would preserve natural situ features, Di reo. t.)r Trem3re started Commissioner members were concerned with respect to storm water drainage desigro on tht. site because of the low-lying topography, The City Engineer Adrised the Planning L'o nission that the drainage des?gn would be reviewod during the fil %al plan stages to assure that the drainale water that leaves th, site after development is of no greater rate or vele-ity than what currently is experienced. The P1 anni ng Commission also recommended k0 i mi na ti on of the two goose -neck" leis in the extreme northea-sc corner of the plat because access to the lots would be by a private r 1 veway through the edge of a wetland area. Terry Forbord, Lundgren Bros., stated this project Is proposed as a PUD in order to address the pour soil, wetlands, and hi gr water table conditions on the site. He described the proposed development and s.ated it would be similar tt this its4eple:hale Development in tht, Vicksburg West PUD, He showed slides of other similar tund9ren developments. Mr, forbord rtited the developer's intent ;s to retain the existing natural amenities, as well as create new ones. The sitio will have more wetl,snd after the project. is completed than before development, Lundgren Bros. "nest.

Council approval of the reduced side yard and front yard setbacks as requested. He stated thi s flexibility would save wetland areas and trees on the site, and reduce construction costs which will provide more affordable housing. Average lot site in the development is proposed as 16.000 square feet, with 17 acres of canon area to ae owned, aha maintainer by the homeowners' association. The devalvpment will contain a 5.5 acre recreation area. Mr. Forbord note o thAt if the 9-fool:Amsoot side yard setback; wer4 approveas it would not mean the distance betweer homes would be S -feet, The distance between dwellings would vary. He stated that complaints have not been received relative to noise or Leung too close to adjacent properties in other similar Lundgren levelopffents with the 9-foot/6-foot setb,scks. Residents also feel the 2S' front yard setback is sufficient because it allows for a lat-gler rear yard. Mr. Forbord asked that Lundgren be allowed to develop thv two lots in the extreme northeastern corn4!r of the development. lkcess is proposed through private driveways from the past and north. These 'ots would be the peemier lots of the subdivision dote to their secluded naturse. W_ stated that medians are shaven on the plan at the Counter Road 24 entrance only. The developer would prefer median entrance at the kiurth end of the development ss well to instill a sense of community. Rick Sathre, Sb thre-Bergqui st, Inc . , stated the housing propos id for the development would be quality construction and cto•.t oetween $140,000 and $200,000. He stated that the City has proposed that since Zircon Lane is a collector street, thrau+i movement should be provided at 32nd Avenue. The developer planned the dead-end with Zirc#)n Lane going north in order to encourage traffic to slow down ween entering the development. Mr Sathre also stated there is soma question of what will occur with County Road 24 at the entrance to the development, Hennepin County want to widen Co;.,nty Rood 21 at this point ind has required that the developer connect the existing right -turn lanes at Brockton Lane and xanthui Line to create a fell westbound auxi.iary lane between Brockiton t.ane and xanthus Lane, Alsos that a right -turn accelerction lane shall be constructed at Urbandale Lane. Mr, Sathre objected to this developer being required to construct the right -turn lane ihi c:h would Serve entrance into the Amber Woods development, He stated the full lenytn right -turn i arse will confuse drivers Band should be tapered and widened at the intersections. 0 0 Regular Council Netting April 16, 1990 Page 128 Director Moore stated that County Road 24 is a county road, If an application is +eade for an access permit to the county road. the County's requi rewents for width, and turn lanes will have to complied with, The County views this from a safety perspective. Councilwewber Ricker stated he Would support a continuous right turn lane, rather than tapering and widening which is confusing to drivers, Mar) Weinzierl, 18820 County Road 24, urged the Council to maintain consistency with other devclopments by maintaining winiwin 10 -foot side yard setbacks, Counci lmemoer Zi tur stated he is concerned about retaining they 10 -foot side yard mini hums, as well as an adequate front yard setback, He noted that the Council receives requests from residents wanting to build additions to their hone, This very tight side and front yards leave a future homeowner little room for options. Councilmember Zitur asked if the site contains protected wetlands. Director Moorr stated the only protected 3NR wetland is In the northwest area of the site where no work is proposed. TheMe are also Ar+j Corps of Engineers wetland in the extreme northeast corner of the site where the private driveways are propose4.

Director Blank asked how large an area should be contacted for Input on the types of facilities desired. Mayor Bergman noted a very large area could be served. Councilmember Helliwell suggested first contacting the immediate neighbors, then broadening the notices to include a larger area, perhaps the Town Neetin area. Director Blank stated Bill Christopherson has requested permission from the City to allow temporary placement of a water ski course on Parkers Lake. The only restriction placed on the Parkers lake boat launch is the launching of five boats on the lake at any one time. Mayor Bergman asked the City Attorney to respond with what permission, if any, is needed from the City. Attorney Thomson stated the City has no specific regulation, relating to Parkers Lake and no permitting requirements. It il, his understanding that Hennepin County is not requiring a permit for this particular request. Attorney Thomson stated the City has authority to adopt regulations on this lake since it is surrounded by the City of Plymouth on all sides. The regulations would need to he approved by the n NR. Request for taster Ski Course on Parkers Lake Item 7-0 Regular Council Meeting April 16, 1990 Page 135 Manager Willis stated that some years ago there was a proposal to limit horsepower of boats entering the lake from the public launch. The ONR :ibjected to this requirement because it only applied to people launching from the public launch and not residences on the lake. If the Council adopts regulations for the lake, they must apply to all users of the lake. Bill Christopherson, 16524 Ringer Road, Wayzata, stated the temporary water ski course he proposes would only be used two days a weeK for one to two hours each day. Nothing is left in the water permanently, He stated that Hennepin County first thought he would need a County permit and permission from the City; howeeder, they later determi ted that no permit is necessary for a terr orary course. Counciomember Iitur was concerned that allowing one use of this type would bring many mire similar uses to this small lake. Mr. Christopherson stated the temporary course would be put in on the west side of the lake, farthest from the homes and beach. Loren Langer, 1145 Kingsview Lane, stated since this a P1ym with lake, Plymouth residents should be using it.
