long the right -
Manager. Millis stated the time frame will largely
depend on when development occurs. As property
is platted, the City will receive right-of-way
through dedication.
Mike hair, 15050 23rd Avenue North, was present
to answer questions.
David Davenport, Lindquist. i Vennum, 740 E. Lake
Street, Wayzata, stated he is counsel for Dundee
Nursery. He stated there would be no impact on
the business if the Council decides not to extend
County Road 9. However, if one of the westerly
alignments and a separated grade intersection
were chosen, with an eventual interchange as
suggested by the city Thoroughfare Plan, the
impact on Dundee could be substantial.
Mr. Davenport questioned the need to extend
County Road 9 westerly to Vicksburg Lame based on
projected traffic. He also asked who would be
served by such an extension. Mr. Davenport
stated Dundee favnra an easterly alignment;
however, understands that the City's project
consultant and area developers favor a westerly
alignment, Ha stated Dundee would accept the
westerly alignment only if there is no
interchange with T.H. 55.
Mr.. Davenf ort noted that Plann+ ng C-immissionei
Plufka did not favor an iatercharga at County
Road 9 and T.H, 55. He stated such an
interchange would have a substantial impact or.
Dundee Nursery and questioned whether the City
would allow Suldee to expand its business in the
future if an interchange is proposed, it may
also impact the ability of Lhe owner to sell or
refinance the property. Mr. Davenport expresaed
doubts of %hether the wetlands in the area could
be preserved considering the substantial uir'.:
movement that would be necessary fog construction
of aia interchange.

He requested that the Council clarify Khat is
intended so Dundee has soma idea '.ghat to expect.
If the Council wlects not to acquire right -of -May
imaso ately, he asked that the Council go on
rec *L 4 t:fat a future intersection at T.H. 55 and
County Roar! 9, if any, would be at grade and that
no separated grade intersection is contemplated.
He requested that the Planning Commission minutes
reflect that a formal, written objection was
submitted on behalf of Dundee N-rsery,
Hill Pritchard, ILS., Homes, stated he supports
the staff recommendation and the proposed
westerly alignment. He favors the alignment
because the intersection will be a 90 degree
49anfiguration and there will be minimal impacts
on wetlands and trees. The proposed alignment
also meets the design criteria relative to street
curvature. He suggested that if the curve were
tightened on a future interchange, there would be
less impact on the Dundee property.
Hans Hagen, 2353 North Ricu Street, supported the
McCombs Frank Roos "Nest Alignment:". He stated
this alignment is consistent with the City's
Thoroughfare Guide Plan,
Richard Bloom, 14600 Woodruff Road, Wayzata,
supported the McCombs Frank Roos "West
Alignment". He noted that this alignment does
not depict an interchange at County Road 9/T.11.
55. He stated the timing of the interchange
construction is far in the future, perhaps 20
years, and need not be considered at this time.
He stated an on grade in ersection will serve the
City's needs for many years,
Kay Harris, Towle Real Esta;:e, stated the
potential buyer of property at the southwest
corner of T.H. 55 and C.R. 24 is opposed t thos
intersection of C.R. 24/C.R. 9 and T.H. 55. T'nis
would be a change to the Thoroughfare Guide Plan.
She requested thaty the Council either delete
reference to the future C.R. 24/C.R. 9/T.H, 55
interchange, or immediately purchase right--.f-way
necessary for construction.

Deputy Mayor Vasiliou asked the staff's position
on the prorAsed interchange at T.H. 55.
Manager Willis stated the type of intersection is
a policy decision for the Council to make;
however, at some future date the State may
propose an above -grade interchange at T.K. 55 and
C.R. 24 in order to facilitate transportation
movement on T.H. 55.
Public Works Director Moore stated a future
interchange has been indicated on the City's
adopted Thoroughfare Guide Plan since 1972. This
need was reinforced in the 1989 review of the
Guide Plan based on projected traffic from guided
land uses. He stated the traffic proj,a:.rions
recognize the reed for an interchange. The
westerly alignment would continue to recognize a
possible future interchange.
Deputy Mayor Vasiliou stated she is reluctant to
acquire right-of-way for a possible I,nt.erchange
that may be many years in the future,
particularly since the rate of new construction
seems to be down this year.
Councilmember Helliwell asked why the possible
future interchange was not a concern when Dundee
rebuilt from fire sevezal years ago.
Director Moore stated the previous proposed
alignment waa through the middle of the wetland
area to the east. Since the Council and other
regulatory agencies have become more sensitive to
preservation of the wetlands, the alignment was
adjusted to minimize the impact.
Community Development Director Tremere added that
it is only recently that specific development has
been proposed and, thus, detailed alignments for
an intersection have been reviewed for this area.
The Thoroughfare Guide Plan and Land Use Guide
Plan were spe:ificilly shared with the Dundee
owner before the new facility was constructed.
The plans were not detailed.
Councilmember Helliwell stated she does not
support right-of-way acquisition at this time.
Council.members Ricker and Zitur agreed.

Deputy Mayor Vasiliou asked when the Planning
Commission would next consider the interchange
issue.
Manager Millis stated an interchange would be
considered when one or more property owners
submit plans for development that would impact
the right-of-way for a proposed interchange.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Ricker, seconded
by Deputy Mayor Vasiliou, to approve the
McCombs -Frank -Roos Westerly Alignment" for the
County Road 9/County Road 24 alignment and
Highway 55 intersection location, and to take no
action at this time relative to acquir+ng right-
of-way for a future interchange.
Manager Willis reiterated that the Thoroughfare
Guide Plan would still reflect tho possibility of
a future interchange and that wou16 he conveyed

MAi Gai: siuowed slides of the area and described
the proposal to develop a 66 acre site into 76
single family detached building lots, 2
freestanding service commercial sites, and 1
industrial site.
Mr. Gair stated two 'variances' are bt.ing
requested. The first is approval of a 25 -foot
frons yard setback for 34 specific lots along
with the Preliminary Plan/Conditional Use Permit,
nstead of lot -by -lot as recommended by the
Planning Commission. The second is approval of a
35 -foot r3tback to Medina Road for living areas
and garages located east of County Roar' 24,
instead of 35 feet for garage and 50 feet for
living areas as recommended by the Planning
Commission. He stated the 'variennes' are being
requested to protect trees and wetland areas and
to avoid submitting individual lots for review
and setback approval.
Deputy Mayen vasiliou asked the intent for Outlot
E.
Mr. Gair stated Outlot E is intended as open
space which could be deeded ;o the homeowners'
association or individual adjacent property
owners.
Deputy Mayor vasiliou encouraged the developer to
deed the property to individual lots rather that
the association. The City Council has received
complaints regarding required maintenance of cpe^
space from homeowner associations.
Community Development Director Tremere clarified
that the setback reductions requested by the
devoloper would not be 'variances' ae defined by
the Zoning Ordinance, since this is a planned
unit development proposal rather than a
conventional plat. He stated the Planning
Commission recommended that setback reductions be
considered on the basis of specific conditions
for the lots in question, consistent with Council
practice.
Mr. Gair further explaibed that a setback
reduction from 50 faet to 35 feet along Medina

Road is being requested due to the narrowing of
the property dimensions. He stated substantial
berming and landscaping will be used as a buffer
to offset the closer distance to the road.
Community Developer Tremor* stated the developer
could reduce the number of lots as an alternative
to requesting the reduced setbacks. The
constraints are being created by a desired number
of lots. The setback standards are minimums and,
along roads such as Medina Road, they are
designed to provide a spatial buffer betweeu the
road and the dwellings.
Councilmembers expressed concern over the
potential proximity of homea to Medina Road.
In response to a question by Councilmember
Helliwell, Mr. Gair stated the berm will face the
side of the homes and will begin a few feet from
the house. The berm will be constructed at a 3-1
slope and drainage will be diverted around the
homes.
Councilmember Ricker stated he would prefer to
consider the setback reductions on the basis of
detailed information on specific lots, rather
than consider a blanket approval.
Director Tremere explained that the developer is
now asking for setback reduction on fewer lots
tharA originally requested to the Planning
Commission,
Hans Hagen stated a blankbt request would be
efficient for the City and the developer.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Ricker to adopt
the resolutions and ordinance subject to the
recommendations of the Planning Commission.

Tom Loucks, 8401 73rd Avenuo North, Brooklyn
Park, reviewed the proposal for an RPUD Concept
Plan for the development of an 87.76 acre site
with 76 single family homes, 56 attached dwelling
units in 28 twinhome structures, and a church
site of about 5 acres. The Planning Commission
recommended denial of the proposal.
Director Tremere stated the Planning Commission
took no action with respect to the RPUD
Preliminary Plan/Plat/Conditional Use Permit
applications because the denial recommendation on
the concept Plan renders those applications
inappropriate.
He stated that the Planning Commission determined
that the proposed Concept Plan is not in
compliance with Zoning Ordinance ztandards
relative to transition between the proposed
twinhome units and the adjacent areas outside the
PUD. The Planning Commission determined that
opportunities are available for alternate siting
of the twinhomes on the property for more of an
internal orientation on the site, and transition
to meet the Zoning Ordinance standards could be41provided, though there may be adjustmdnts in the
number of units constructed.
In response to a question by Councilmember Zitur,
Director Tremere explained Planned Unit
Development attribu;.es over conventional platting
in providing for open space, including
sensitivity to wetland areas. He added that
mtaff agrees with the Planning Commissicn that
the transition between twinhome and single family
units could be modified to be more compliant with
ordinance standards.
Mr. Loucks explained that a portion of the
property is below the 100 year flood elevation;
however, he did not believe this would pose a
probl3m since it will be used as open space. He
stated the average lot size would be 17,000 sq.
ft., with the smallest lot at 13,000 sq. ft. due
to wetland abutment. Mr. Loucks stated the
developer will dedicate to the City property for
park access. About 8 of the 25 acres of open
space is intended to be some kind of common area.
Regular Council Hooting

Mr. Loucks believed the transition between the
proposed twinhomes and single family homes meats
The intent of the Zoning Ordinance guidelines
because of the extensive landscaping and berming
that will be done, though some improvement could
be made to the design in the east area.
Ross Fefercorn, 7625 Motro Blvd., #145, Edina,
showed slides of the proposed twin home units.
He described the probable tenants as retired and
desiring inactive open space. The proposed units
are from 1,400 to 3,500 sq, ft. and will be in
the $120,000 to $200,000 price range per unit.
He stated that rental of the units will be
prohibited through the use of protective
covenants.
In response to a cpiestion by Deputy Mayor
Vasiliou, Mr. Fefercorn stated his management
company will maintain landscaping and medians in
the development. Some adjustments can be made in
the east area, including elimination of a unit.
Councilmember Zitur asked if the plana shown here
were reviewod by the neighbors at the Planning
Commission, hearing. Mr. Fefer:orn said he was
not there, but he understood these were the plans
shown.
Wayne Menge, 3190 Kimberly Lane, stated hd is
opposed to twinhomes because they will devalue
single family homes in the neighborhood. He
proposed that the twinhomes be moved to the
opposite end of the site in order to have the
least impact on the existing single family homes.
Norma Hughes, 17635 County Road 24, :Mated
drainage has changed on her property due to
development on abutting properties. She objected
to the twinhome proposal and the proposed
density.
Hila Domagala, 17705 County Road, objected to the
twinhome construction because after a period of
time the units may become rental. The area
should remain solely single family homes and the
City's standards should not- be eroded.
Regular Council Meeting
July 16, 1990
Page 279
Steve Jacobitz, 3520 Urbandale Lane, r,tated that
he represented the Amber Woods Homeo•iners'
Association. He stated the Association does not
feel that twinhomes will fit the image the
neighborhood has come to expect rjiven the guiding
end zoning. Mr. Jacobitz stated the proposed
reening is inadequate to offset the negative
affect of the trinhomes. He stated if twinhomes
are allowed on the site, the location should be
isolated and further removed from the existing
single favily noighborhood.
John Jamoke, 17700 26th Avenue North, stated the
current proposal does not take into consideration
the single family characteristics of the existing
homes. He objected to any higher density.
Jim Stavros, 17430 County Road 24, stated he
lives adjacent to the area proposed for twir home
construction. He stated all neighbors present at
the Planning Commission were opposed to twinhomes
in this location He urged the Council to accept
the staff and Planning Commission recommendation
of denial. Mr. Stavros stated the twinhomw units
would generate additional traffic on County Road
24, where traffic is already heavy.
Mr. Loucks asked the Council for direction on
whether the developer should continue
consideration of twinhomes or whether the concept
is unrealistic for the site.
