He added further that if Mr. Rubinson has a garage, the vans should be parked there. Mr. Robinson stated that he has a total of five vans for transporting retarded children and all are kept in perfect condition at all times. He did not believe the buses would be an eyesore or create a nuisance, as he had a driveway constructed along the side of his lot for the sore purpose of parking his vans.

That no structure be erected on the site, with the exception of a, flag pole, and that monuments not extend above the site grade, Planning Commission Minutes -4- September 19, 1973 Commissioner Threin,en indicated that he had viewed the site and added his belief that the parcel is too small for a cemetery. He maintained that although the, Ordi,nance does not clearly specify how big a cemeteryshouldbe, he is concerned that there be adequate space for years to come, as a cemetery ofisny kind is extremely difficult to vacate once it has been started. Mr. Schloeder and Mr. Holeman, petitioners, were present to answer questions of the Planning Commission. Chairman Kroskin wondered how many pet cemeteries exist in the metropolitan area. Mr. Schloeder stated that one exists to his knowledge. Chairman Kroskin asked if the petitioner had ever operated a pet cemetery. Mr, Schloeder answered he had not, but had done some research on it.. Mr. Holeman indicated that there is an , existing pet cemetery midway between Minneapolis and St.Paul on Larpenteur. He stated that he believes this pet cemetery to be two acres or perhaps more. He added that the proposed cemetery will be used to bury primarily dogs and cats at a depth of about four feet., Chairman Kroskin questioned what would happen, if, in a period of two years or so, the cemetery had not proven a profitable enterprise. Mr. Holema.n indicated that the property in a pet cervat;ry is not deeded as in a human cemetery. He added that the primary ",,,--1ctinn of a pet cemetery is to perform the service of allowing the bu,ial ritual for a beloved pet. If it becamze necessary to vacate the pet cemetery after four or five years, he statedthat the property could revert to any use necessary. Commissioner Threinen asked how a pet cemetery would affect the value of the property adjacent. Mr. Holeman indicated that the abutting property would benefit, as the area would be park and would not create any traffic problems. Mr, Gene Stangor,, representing property owners around Magnolia Lane, presented a petition sighed by fifteen persons opposingthe proposed pet cemetery.. MOTION was made by Commissioner Hagen, supported by Commissioner MOTION TO Stewart, that t11`,,s proposal betabled in order to seek an opinion DEFER/ from the Village Attorney on the legal ramifications of a pet cemetery as opposed to a human cemetery and whether or not the Ordinance specifies the size a cemetery should be. Chairman Kroskin added t)hat a problem could result if the pet cemetery were vacatoe and reverted to the Village for maintenance. Commissioner Threin,en pointed out that enough Information is available to act on this proposal at the present meeting. He cited the Checklist Guide to Rezoning Requests, which specifies that a request should be recommended for denial if it diminishes the. -value of surrounding property—and this proposal, he maintained, wouldl, In addition,, he cited Subdivision 2 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding conditional use permits, maintaining that this Uroposal does not have the public welfare in mind, but rather is ,n enterprise undertaken for a, profitable end. Planning Commiss1on Minutes -5- Septemb6r'119, 1973 Furthermore, Commissioner Threinen pointed Out that the size of the parcel is, insufficient for a, ceimetary of any sort. Concluding, he stated, he was opposed to the motion to, defer. Chairman Kroskin asked Staff to provide any information- available onthis sobj I eat. Planner Overhiser stated that cemeteries and memorial gardens are permitted by conditional use permit in residential districts, but as Commissioner Threinen pointed out, the Village Council can deny a conditional use permit if they judge the use to be detrimental to adjacent properties-, As far as back- ground research, Planner Overhiser indicated that Staff understood that the parcel wouldstay under one ownership, with no selling of lots as in the case of the Parker's Lake Cemetery which involves maty different lot owners. Mr. Overhiser added that Staff had, believed at the outset that no legal problems would be involved. Chairman Kroskin stated that the location of the proposed pet cemetery is inappropriate if there exists a zoning in Plymouth that would more logically accommodate this use. MOTION TO, DEFER carried, 3-2,, with Chairman Kroskin and Commissivoner CARRIED Threinen opposed. Commissioner Threinen, stated that Staff should research the pet cemetery in Roseville as to what will happen to it when it fills up. Commissioner Hagen indicated that it sherld be determined whether of not there is any right, whether it be by lease or otherwise,, created because it is called a 'cemetery'. A-508 Raldori Daniels/Gunter Janssen (DannZ's Bait & Tackle),=A-5081 Planner Dale introduced, the proposal, stating that the petitioner GUNTER wishes to obtain a conditional use permit 111,o operate a retail sales 07NYM outlet fur snowmobiles and outboard motors in an existing bait and tackle shop located just soQth of 36th Avenue right off the County CUP for Poad 18 service drive, in a 6-3 Service Business District., 'Sporting Goods Staff recommends approval subject to three conditipti.s. Store Commissioner Threinen pointed cut that a variance has already been granted on this property with respect to setback area, Planner Dale indicated that a variance had been granted to allow a 35' setback and only 5' side yards. Commissioner Threinen questioned if the petitio.ner contemplates yard storage inasmuch as boats and snowmobiles are involved. Mr.. Janssen indicated that all storage would be inside. Mr. Janssen asked the Planning Commission if the 30 -foot no parking area on the east included the asphalt, Plaiina,r Dale answered that condition had been writeen because normally in a B-3 district, a. 50' setback is required,, and in order to maintain a, front yard appearance, a green strip 30 feet wide should be added along the, parking area to, maintain the same setba A, the, lot.- ck as the building itself over the. entire east side of Planning Commission Minutes -6- September 19, 1973 Commissioner Th einen pointed out that the subject site is in conformance with the other existing businesses in that area inthat they all have a green strip consisting of asphalt. Commissioner Hagen ;pointed out that Jay's Pizza ha,s a 10-15 fool; green strip, adding that. for the seke of consistency, ,it may be more feasible to require a green strip similar to that of the pizza parlor rather than a 30 foot green strip. MOTION` was made by Commissioner Hagen, supported by Commissioner11OTION TO Johnson that the request of Gunter Janssen for a conditional use RECOMMEND permif to operate Danny's Bait & Tackle Shop as a retail outlet APPROVAL/ far the sale of snowmobiles and marine products in a B-3 District be recommended for approval subject to the following conditions 1.

ORIGINAL MOTION, as amended, carried unanimously. CARRIED 1--A---3-4--01 Lake Street Industries A=340 LAKE STREET INDUSTRIES Planner Overhiser explained that Lake Street Industries Site Plan Revision has just completed their facility at the northeast corner Signs or Industrial. Park Boulevard and Xenium Lane. The site plan for this building was approved by the Planririg Commission and Council; now, however, Lake Streelt Industries wishes to revise this site plan with regard to a sign approved as part of thi site plan approval Originally, there was to be one sign on the building's west side with 15 inch letters and a ya.rd sign set back 50 feet in all directions at the intersection. This yard sign was to be 8 feet long and 2 feet 4 inches high, set one foot off the ground, Planner Overhiser continued that Lake Street Industries now wishes to erect one sign in the yard area similar to that of Tescom instead of 'the two approved signs. The proposed sin would he 35 feet off the right of way next to the parking area. ' by 4'2" and V off the ground), Planning Commission Minutes -7- September 19, 1973 Commissioner Hagen questioned if the proposed sign conforms with the Sign Ordinance.- Planner Overhiser responded that it conforms with regard' to area requirements, but it is 351 of' the right of way anditshouldbe50faet. Commissioner Threinen wondered if the sign would provide a physical barrfer to persons entering and leaving. the parking area. Planner Overhiser answered that t„e sign would not obstrutt vision. He added that he believed that otia reason, for this request is that the Board of Zoning Adjustment in July,, 1973 granted a variance to Warner Manufactur°lng which allowed them to locate a sign 35 feet from street right of way. He added, however, that signs Were not approved as a part of the, Warner Manufacturing site plan., Chairman Kroskin asked for a Staff opinion on this, request, Planner Overhiser responded that he believed the Village should begin insisting that petitioners commit themselves to the signing specified on the site plan. He added that an 8 foot sign located as shown on the original site plan would be adequate identification. Pollowing further discussion with regard to setbacks and comparison between Tescom, Warner Manufacturing, and Lake Street Industries proposals, Commissioner Threinen cited Section 19,, Subdivision 2 of the Zoning Ordinancewhich outlines the powers and responsibilities of the Board of zoning Adjustment, He added that the criteria used by that body should be applied in this case. is MOTION was made by Commissioner Threinen, supported by Commissioner MOTION TO Hagen, that the request of Lake Street Industries for a revision RECOMMEND to the site plan approved by the Village Council February 5, 1973 DENIAL/ be recommended to the Council for denial because the signing as it exists on the -original site plan creates no real hardship, but rather a mere inconvenience. Motion carried unanimously. CARRIED A-498 Loeffel-Engstrand LOEFFEL-ENGSTRAND Planner Overhiser explained that this request had been Rezoning R-1 discussed at the Committee of the Whole meeting to R-2 September 12, 1973 and at this meeting a motion had General Development Plan been made for denial based on the following reasons; I. The Land Use Guide Plan guides this area for a LA -1 low density residential development, and this request is greater than LA -1 density. 2. Under Section 7) Subdivision 7 of the Zoning Ordinance, the petitioner could develop the land in such a fashion as to preserve the natural characteristics of the site. 3. It should be considered that 62 units would be the maximum density permitted on the site, and this could be accomplished by submitting a revised General Development Plan for the project, using a concept similar to that contained in the plan, received by the Village August 23, 1973. Planner Overhiser iril,'Oicated that Barry Engen, representing the petitioner, may Wish to react to the three conditions. Mr. Engen Planning Commission Kinutes S eptember 19, 1973 stated that the conditions outlined above had been reviewed, and Loeffel-Engstrand requests time to revise their plans Consid,ering suggestions of the Planning. Commission Committee of the 'Whole. MOTION wasmade by Commissioner Threinen, to accept the recommendation MOTION/ of the. Committee of the Whale as stated above, Motion failed for FAILED lack of second. Chairman Kraskin suggested that if Loeffel-Engstrand wishes -.o revise their proposal, consideration should be given to their plans. If the revision it a major one, he stated that he believes the request should be, put back on a public hearing basis because of citizen interest, Commissioner Hagen painted out that a basic concern at the meeting of the, Committee of the Whole ha.d, been that the Goals, Objectives, and Criteria state that provisions should be made in a development of this type for a mix of low/moderate, income housing --and no provision is made for this in the proposal by Loeffe.1-Engstrand, MOTION was made by Commissioner Hagen, supported by Commissioner MOTION TO Johnson, that action on, the request of Loeffel-Engstrand for DEFER/ rezoning from R-1, to R-2 based on a General Development Plan be deferred until the Planning Commission meeting of October 17, 1973. Planner Overhiser stated that if the number of dwelling units is revised in the proposal, a public hearing will again be noticed. Commissioner Threinen pointed out thal: since two of the three suggestions made by the Committee of the Whole do not require rezoning, and In the original proposal dated August 28, 1973, rezoning was based on a general development plan containing 98 dwelling units, in effect the Planning Commission will recommend denial, of this proposal if it does, not, in its revised form, comply with the three points outlined by the Committee of the, Whole. Planner Overhis.er explained that if the Planning Commission recommends denial,, this request would automatically go before the Village Council, where four Votes would have to favor the proposed rezoning in order that it be approved. This, process could be checked if the petitioner were to withdraw his request at this point, If the. Planning Commission defers action at this time, the petitioner will then have a chance to re -draw his general development plan and resubmit it for further consideration by the Rlanning Commission. Commissioner Hagen commented that under the present Zohl.ng Ordinance, the only way two units could be attached would be to rezone to R -Z even if the density requireme4ts of an R-1 district were met. MOTION TO DEFER carried,3-2, with Commissioners Threinen and Stewart opposed, CARRIED American Universal/Westlonka Estates FA ---5-01-1 AMERICAN UNIVERSAL MW (West Tonka Estates) MOTION was made by Commissioner Threinen, supported by Preliminary Plat Commissioner Hagen, and unanimously approved, that the recommendation of the Committee of the Whole be accepted MOTION TO RECOMMEND and that t,h.e request of American Universal for approval of APPROVAL/ the preliminary Plat. for West Tonka Estates be approved CARRIED Planning Commission Minutes September 79, 1973 subject to the following conditions 1. That the, final plat show 6 foot utility easements along the side and rear lot lAnes of each proposed lot, 2. That drainage easements shown on the final plat correspond with the Storm Drainage Nan and that a rev sod grading plan be submitted to the Village Engineer which creates a ponding area designed and shaped to blend in with the existing topography and preserve some of the natural vegetation if possible, That the park dedication requirements consist of a 20 -foot trail. and walkway easement along the north and east sides of the property z,,A6 that the northern lots be altered from 11.71 wide to 1121 wide with the southern lots to be altered from 1201 wide to 1151 wide (based on the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission at its meeting of September 6, 1973). L=A -484 -Golden Hours Day Care Center, FA -74,T41 -3OLOEN HOURS DAY CARE CENTER Commissioner Threinen stated that although the staff report provides a compilation of data, no new information Day care has been presented. Planner Dale responded that the petitioner centers was at the Village office that afternoon and is still quite in apartment vague about her proposal,. He added he had requested that she complexes come in with a site plan and a floor plan of the apartment (Amendment to complex, Mrs. Golden then indicated she would be in next 7ining Ord..) week. In the meantime, Planner Dale indicated the Planning Commission might formulate some guidelines for this type of request. Chairman Kroskin pointed out that the first question is whether or not day care centers should be allowed in apartment complexes; the second is what is Golden Hours Day Care Center, Inc, and what is their intention.. MOTrON v -,!as made by Commissioner Threinen, supported by Commissioner MOTION TO Hagen, that the proposal by Golden Hours Day Care Center, Inc. to DEFER/ operate a day care center in "The Place" apartments and the proposal to amend the Zoning Ordinance be deferred until the following questions are answered; 1. How much inside area and how much fenced play area will there be per child? 2. What sort of qualified personnel is anticipated? Now reany children per supervisor, and what are the qualifications for supervisory personnel? 3. How many children will be accommodated as a group --how big will the center be people -wise? Commissioner Threihen pointed out his conviction that a day care center should be more than just a. depository for children, especially when research indicates that are one to six is a critical time in the psychological development of a child. He added further that establishing a day care center in a church is a different situation altogether because the facilities for a school situation --such as playground area, adequate Planning Commission Minutes September 19,, 1973 voom area, and personnel --already exist,.` Commissioner Hagen commented that State 'requirements specify 50 square feet of fenced play area outdoors per child. He stated that. if tialsday cart tenter were allowed, a condition must be Made t 4 a t would limit the number of children so that if children are brought in from outside the apartment complex, thus using space that had been allocated for, people in the units, some reduction in the density per acre should result. Chairman Kroskin pointed out that before consideration is given to, ailiending the Zoning Ordinance, firm, criteria, should be established based on State requirements for, operating day Care centers. Commissioner Threinen pointed out that the Ordinance already contains a provision for institutions of a'Wigious, , - 1. eleemosynary, or philanthropic nature" in an. R-1 di, tion 7, Subdivision 33, Item 8, Zoning Ordinance), Planner Overhiser explained that doy c, enters and 'nursery schools are specifically called out in the B-1 i,,trict and the terms 'DayCareC6nterland 'Nursery School' are defined in the definition sect -'onoftheOrdinance; therefore, an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance is required in order to permitthese uses in residential districts. Commis0oner Hagen stressed that if any amendment is made to the Ordinance, a provision should be made that total specifications are provided for in the proposed facility similar to a site plan. Com miss'1, oner Threinen added that. attempts have been made to get individual school districts to assume the responsibility of day care centers for children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age; he stressed that these centers are not just places to unload problems before the parent goes to work, He stated further that if the numbers get large and people are being hired, the result is a commercial endeavor in a R-4 district. Planner Overhiser stated that he didnot believe the Zoning, Ordinance is the place to set standards for day care center personnel, but added the Planning Commission will again be provided with information obtained from the State regarding this Use. Commissioner Threinen stated that physical conditions can be spelled out, but stressedthat somewhere along the line standards and qualifications of a broader nature will have to be established. MOTION TO DEFER carried, 5-0. MOTION CARRIED Metropolitan Council Housing Staff - Representative to Plymouth, John Doyle, Planner Overhiser introduced Mr. John Doyle to the Planning Commission. Mr., Doyle stated that the Notropolitan Council is particularly interested in the housing program in Plymouth and the development that will be taking place. He stated that he will function as a resource person to help Plymouth develop an appropriate housing program and added that John Bolin, Chairman of the Metropolitan Council, will be out for a meeting with Planning Commission and. Council on October 29, 1973 at which housing policy regarding low/moderate cost housing will be discussed. Planning Commission Minutes -11 September 19, 1973 Discussion centered around the problem of providing a mix of low/ moderate cost housin in fiture developments and yet keeping building standards up and preventing abuse of this sort of program by people buying up and selling low cost housing for a higher price after a short period of time.: Mr. Doyle pointed out that a comprehensive program is necessary which would involve Plymouth ordinances and an. understanding on the part of developers of alternate ways to construct high standard housing while at the same time reducing the cost. It Was questioned if it were realistic to attempt developing a housing program which would mix low cost housing in with high cost homes, and was decided that it ia; be a good idea to research or view the Jonathan development .and the Cedar Riverside area for ideas to use in formulating a program for low/moderate cost housing in Plymouth. Rip. of Council Action' Planner Overhiser informed the Planning Commission of recent Council action on the shopping center proposal of Builders Equity/Darrel A. Parr Development Corporation and: the Northwestern Bell proposal. Review of Revised Zoning Ordinance Commissioner Threinen stated he believed definitions for 'pet cemetery',. cemetery', and 'memorial garden' should be incorporat-od in the definition section, It was decided that Subdivision 5 concerning low/moderate cost housing should be worsted on by the Staff and bror_#9'ht back to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Hagen stated- that perhaps the R-1 and R-2 districts could contain a ,clause with regard to providing low/moderate cost PUD's in any development in these districts, with some density credits given as compensation for providing this sort of housing.
