Public Hearing opened, 7.35 p.m., Public Hearing
Planner Dale explained that the subject site is located
Just south of County Road 18 and east of Vicksburg Lane, with
the south property line the boundary line between Plymouth
and Minnetonka. He stated that the petitioner desires to sub-,
divide the 9 acre parcel into 12 single family lots,
Planner Dale indicated that Staff has; reviewed the proposal and
has met with the petitioner. Staff feels the proposal involves
several constrai nts, a primary problem being access onto County
Road 15, and has recommended that the Planning Commission recommend
denial of the plan proposed by the petitioner. Staff would suggest
another type of platting with a cul de sac off proposed Ranchview
Lane extended.
Rick Sathre of McCombs -Knutson Associates, representing the petitioner,
explained a map showing lot arrangements involving a cul de sac
street and a letter clarifying Mr. Mason's proposal,. Dick Knutson,
McCombs -Knutson, stated that the return on Mr. Mason's investment
would be less utilizing the 15 lot arrangment proposed by Staff
because of the high cost of the cul de sacs. He added that he would
recommend that common driveways be made a condition of the approval
and that the plat be approved as submitted with that condition. He
stated further that the Staff proposed arrangement would necessitate
extending utilities from County Road 15 and this would be costly. He
stated that the petitioner has requested that the proposal be approved`
or denied, then submitted to the Council
Commissioner Threinen questioned when Minnetonka plans to construct
Ranchview extended. and when Plymouth will put its stub in. Planner
Overhiser answered that the street extension will perhaps occur with
development of the property to the south, with; street right of way
acquired at the time of the subdivision development.
Chairman Kroskin asked if Staff has reviewed the lot arrangement submitted
earlier in the day, Planner Overhiser answered that the proposed layout
Planning Commission Minutes December 5, 1973
with all the lots fronting on county Road It had been reviewed, but
Staff believes this arrangement is not the best way to plat because
lots on the east end of the site (7 through, 12) are very large andtheremaybefuturerequesttosubdividethebackpartsofthelots.
Commissioner Threinen stated that this is exactly what occurred, onCountyRoad24, and added that providing Village services to this
area would be extremely difficult after, Subdivision.,
Commissioner Threinen questioned if the intent is to create 12 lots
and liSore joint drives. Mr. Knutson responded his is the intent.
Claltlmln Kroslin q,,estioned future status, of County Road 15. PlannerOverhiserstatedthattheGoals, Objectives, and Criteria state that
no private drives onto thoroughfares should be permitted, and although
County Road 15 would technically be a collector street, the aim should
be, 0 limit if possible the private drives off County Road 16.

Hearing Closed
MOTION was made by Commissioner Threinen, supported by Commissioner MOTIONHagen, that action be taken on this request at. the present meeting. TO -ACT/
Motion carried unanimously. Carried
Chairman Kroskin asked for a Staff opinion on this request, Planner
Overhiser stated that initially,, the consulting engineers were informed
that the first proposal of 12 lots, all fronting on 15, was not the
best way to plat the property and they did consider another alternative
in creating a cul de sac off 15, thereby creating 15 lots. He stated
that economic factors are a prime consideration of the petitioner., but
added that economy shouldbe a minor point in approving a plat of this
area. He pointed out that ultimate, deve1c,,,,)ment or the property to the
east and. south should be considered. He indicated' that the Staff sketch
or the alternative proposed by the developer is, in his opinion, the
best way to plat the property regardless of the, economics,
Commissioner Hagen questioned how this property was treated when sewer
and water was provided around County Road 6. He indicated his concern
that we may be adding additional water and sewer pipes to create three
or four- additional lots.
Commissioner Threinen cited Chapter VII of the Subdivision Ordinance
Which states: "In order to safeguard the best interest of the Village
of Plymouth and to assist the subdivider in harmonizinghisinterestwiththoseoftheatlarge, this
Ordinance is adoptedill (Section 2.,01, page 153)
He stated he does not believe this plat in the best interest of the Village.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Threinen, supported by Chairman MOTION TOKroskin,that the request of Herb Mason for Preliminary Plat RECOMMEND
approval based on the letter and sketch dated November 30, 1973 DENIAL/
be recommended for denial based on criteria set forth in Goals,
Objectives, and Criteria:
m) Eliminate unsafe private access (driveways)
to thoroughfares." (Page 9; Goal:Security, Objective 3,
Criteria 3, Item m)
fie stated that although County Road 15 is not a thoroughfare, it is an
extremely busy street,
Planning Commission Minutes -3- December 6, 1973
Commissioner Erickson questioned if development is being restricted
on this property, pointing out that the most dangerous situation occuringonCountyRoad15isthepointatwhichtheroadcurves. Commissioner
Threinen, reminded the Commission that the petitioner has asked for
either approval or denial, not variations to the proposal. Commissioner
Erickson stated that the Staff proposal does not change the reality of
a number of lots fronting on County Road 15,
Commissioner Threinen stated, that a major concern of Staff is the
possibility of large lots intended for future subdivision. He stated
that this potentia" -.rrolem does not harmonize with the future plans of
the Village,
Chairman Kroskin questioned if there were not other alternatives to the
Staff proposal.. Commissioner Stewart stated he believed that the
Staff proposal may be the best way to plat the land using a cul de sac
and would not really demand the extension of Ranchview. Planner Overhiser
stated a condition could be made that right of way for Ranchview not be
required until such time as development occurs.

Planner Dale explained that the petitioner proposes to Rezoning, R-0devpl-.-F a new and used car dealership in the 10 acre to B-3
R-0 area located 1,000 feet off County Road 9 and
directly west. of County Road 18. Staff recommends granting
the rezoning request (if the General Development Plan is revised)
subject to five conditions,
Commissioner Threinen questioned why the area is prod od for rezoning
to D-3 instead of B-2, when the Ordinance requires a onditional Use
Permit for auto sales in the B-3 District and not it -k',.he B-2 District.
Planner Overhiser stated that the B-2 District is intended to be a
retail shopping center district, while the intent of the B-3 District
is to consist of service type establishments that might be located
adjacent to retail centers. He added that the subject area is not
guided as "CH Highway Service" on the Guide Plan, but is adjacent to
i CH area.
Chairman Kroskin asked the petitioners to introduce themselves: Mr. 6
Robert Baldwin and Don Baldwin, Mr. Bodlow of Baldwin Chevrolet, and
Mr. Jean Paul Budinger, architect.
Mr. Bud,inger stated that the five conditions outlined by Staff are
agreeable to them and utilities will be available to the subject site.
Co,amissioner Hagen stated chat the proposal does not comply with theGuidePlan, but rather proposes Oat the Guide Plan be changed. He
questioned if there were any salient reasons why the Guide Plan should
be changed or if any tangible benefits to the community could be provided
by this business. Planner Dale stated that although the proposal is not
actually in. the CH area on the Guide Plan, it is adjacent to an, area so
guided on the Guide Plan. He added that he assumed that the problem was
that the adjacent land was not available for sale when the petitioner was
purchasing land, Commissioner Hagen stated that in terms of planning this
reasoning is unsound.
Planning Commission Minutes -4- December 5, 1973
Mr. Robert. Baldwin stated that for this type of business, a location
adjacent to the County Road 18 service road is required. The adjacent
parcel, which would follow the Guide, Plan, was in multiple ownership and
negotiations were carried on individually with the owners, However, Mr.
Baldwin continued, this parcel contained slews, streams, and drainage
problems would have been severe. He stated that the business would be
an asset to the co;Mmunity and added that the integrity of the company isbeyondreproach,
Chairman Kroskin stated his concern that the area not become like the
area along Highway 12, with several dealerships clustered along thehighway, each surrounded by acres of cars, Mr. Baldwin responded that
this proposal would be a GM franchise, and no Chevrolet dealer can locate
within five miles of another. He added that they have no intention of
having acres and acres of cars, but that area for 500 cars to be stored
on the site will be sufficient for their purposes.
Thomas Berg, President of the Middle East Homeowners Association, submitted
a petition containing 97 signatures of persons opposed to this development.
He stated that their description of this development would involve the
words noisy, brightly lighted, sprawling, clustered, congested, with a
carnival like atmosphere. He stated that traffic problems would be created.
He added that since the vast majority of the area would be blacktopped or
covered with buildings, there would be surface drainage problems. He
cautioned on the possibility of theft and vandalism and the fact that
this dealership will attract others. He stated that the people in this.
neighborhood propose the utilization cf a limited access roadway withScompatibledevelopment, but added that this proposal is not compatible.
Chairman Kroskin stated that the opposition outlined in the petition
is broader than just the proposed auto dealership, Mr. Berg stated that
the people surround'i'ng the proposed dealership and residents in the area
to the south have definite ideas about use of the area; they feel the
Guide Plan should be updated. Chairman Kro..kin stated that they are,
in essence, suggesting a moratorium on zoning,
Mr. Budinger stated. that tieyy intend to develop only the east half of
the property at present, but the requirements had stipulated that any
future development rust be outlined. He stated that the back half of
the property is guided for a commercial use and an office type use
could ultimately be housed on this portion of the site rather than new
and used car storage as orig°inally drawn on the map, Planner Dale stated
that the whole site should be shown as it will ultimately be developed.
Commissioner Erickson asked if it would not be possible to rezone five
acres of the parcel now and five acres at a later date. Commissioner
Hagen pointed out that the Ford dealership is now north on 18 and the
theory that dealerships tend to cluster together is perhaps correct,
Public Hearing closed, 8;21 p.m. Hearing Closed
MOTION' was made by Commissioner Threinen, supported by Commissioner MOTION TO
Stewart, that action be taken on this proposal at the present meeting. ACTT
Motion carried 5-1, with Chairman Kroskin opposed because, of his
belief that the proposal could use more work.
MOTION was made by Commissi ner Threinen, supported by Commissioner MOTION TOStewart, that the request of Baldwin Chevrolet for rezoning from RECOMMEND
DENIAL/
Planning Commission Minutes -- December 5, 1"
RKQ to B-3 be recommended for denial based on the following reasons:
1) The area is guided ",CL Limited Business and the Baldwin
proposal does not meet the criteria for such a land use
guiding.
It is the intent of the existiu°g Zoning Ordinance that
B--3 uses are not to be located adjacent to residential'
properties zknd that outdoor business shall not be
conducted in front., side, and rear yards near the LA-3
District. (Section 13, Subdivisi,,)It 5, Paragraph 3)
3') 1f the entire site should be usead, the grading proposed
and the 70 blacktopping could create future problems
with runoff zr excess of that estimated by the Village,
In the Stora Drainage Plan.
Commissioner Hagen pointed out that the storm sewer in the area of the
proposed interchange was designed using volumes established by the Village
consultant in the area and is part of the ponding provided in the inter-
change, He stated further that the Village has agreed not to overload
these volumes.
Commissioner Stew<rt stated he concurred: with Commissioner Hagen; that
the Guide Plan designates areas to be used for highway service, and
rezoning a parcel of land teat. does not fit into the Guide Plan will be
inviting the prdbl,m of too many establishments of this nature,
Chairman Kroskin commented that at the time the Guide Plan was adopted,
the lines were discussed as being flexible and meant 'within this
region'. He stated he would not concur that if a use does not fit
exactly within the lines, it cannot be permitred. Commissioner Threinen
stated that it was the consensus also that areas in thoseregions should
be high density, and: if this is adhered to, the dealership use should
be located in the extreme south end of the Highway Service area:, not the
north end. Commissioner Hagen stated that he would not object to
varying from the Guide Plan a little, but. 50% to 75% is excessive. He
added that if the Guide °tan is going to cha°nge that much, it will have
to be adjusted, and the decision will have to be made if that much
highway service is really desirable. Chairman Kroskin wondered what sort
of change in tete area would be considered,. Commissioner Hagen indicated
that the market would dictate this,
Planner Overhi.ser stated that the second page. of the Staff keport explains
the Staffs thinkingthat theandh CH area on the Gude Plan is about 30
acres, with the proposal to increase the area by 10 acres (5 acres if
only the east half of the site were considered).
Commissioner Threinen stated that a precedent should not be set with
regard to changing the Guide Plan, and that economics alone should not guide
the decisions of the Planning Commission. He questioned if this develop-
ment would really be a benefit to the community,

Planner Dale introduced the proposal, explaining Site Plan Review
that the intent is to construct a warehouse/light
manufacturing building which will eventually employ Conditional' Use
30persons on this site located on the SE corner of Xenium Permit
Lane and Water Tower Circle. Staff recommends approval of
thio request subject to four conditions. He stated that
John Roby from Schaper is present to answer any questions
for the Planning Commissinn,
Commissioner Stewart questioned where the water in the holding pond
discharges. Mr. Roby provided the Commission with information on how
this process works, assuring them that fic glass particles will enter
the Village sanitary sewer system, the pond is adequate to hold the
amount of glass stored in it, Is, cleaned three to four times per
year, and there is no chance it the pond will overflow due to
excessive surface runoff. H indicated that they are presently
working with engineers to try to eliminate the, need for this holding,
pond, and when this is accomplished, this area on the west border of the
site could be used for additional parking. Chairman Kroskin questioned
where access to this parking would occur. Planner Dale responded that
access would be through the loading area. Ch-irman Kroskin stated he
did not believe this access would be very desirable, Planner Dale
answered the site on which the holding pond is now located would be the
only site available for future parking, but added that the maximum number
of employees will be 30 and the Site Plan contains 44 parking spaces.
Commissioner Hagen questioned if the parking 'meets setback requirements
of 50 feet from the street right of way. Planner Overhiser answered yes.
Commissioner Hagen questioned if the 50 required feet on the east/west
portion of the site is met. Planner Overhiser answered, yes, but added
that part of th-6 drive area of the parking lot is within the setback
a.rea, which is permitted.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Stewart, supported by Commissioner MOTION To
Erickson, that the request of Schaper Manufacturing Companyj Inc. RECOMMEND
for approval of a Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit to perform APPROVAL/

Chairman Kroskin stepped down from all discussion and voting. General
Development
Planner Dale explO ned that the petitioner proposes to use this Plan/CUP
site at the northwest corner of I-494 and Highway 55 for a Ramada
Inn and restaurant facility, office building ,financial center,
and service station. Planner Overhiser added that the petitioner
is before the Planning Commission at this point for a Conditional
Use Permit for a Planned Business Development based on a General
Development Plan, He stated that Staff is recommending that the General
Development Plan submitted be revised taking into consideration the six
comments expressed in a November 26, 1973 letter from Staff to the
petitioner,
Commissioner Threinen questioned why Staff would suggest traffic be
handled as they had, Planner Overhiser responded that the motel site
is very tight as far as the relationship between buildings and site
area. He stated that the motel site should be extended to have some
frontage on Harbor Lane, thus creating overflow parking as well as
access to Harbor Lane. He added that while the Staff proposal may seeminconvenient, people going into the Radisson development have to travel
1,300 feet past the site and south on Xenium Lane, then have to double
back on a frontage road set back 300 feet from Highway 55.
Commissioner Hagen suggested an opening at Ferebrook Lane, moving the
access point north to a line between the proposod' financial center and
Ramada Inn site, He added he does not believe the proposed plan to be
workable because the area involved is too small; he stated he believes
they perhaps cannot justify having a Ramada Inn of that size on the
site involved, Planner Overhiser stated Staff is unsure how the Ramada
proposal will look in final form.
It was gvest4oned if there, are any firm plans on the State-planned
in:terchange at 494 and 55. Planner Overhiser stated that the latest
plan shows a 3-tier interchange which would require 200 feet alQ-,,,g the
south side of this property, but no firm commitment has been made by the
State as of yet,
Ray Harris introduced Prank Harris, his brother, Mr. Frank Burg Consulting
5ngin.eer and Mr. Richard Podolske, Traffic Consultant, Mr, Harris stated
Planning Commission Minutes -8- December 5, 1973
that his company owns a total of 40 acres, only 17 of which are
being proposed for development at this time. He outlined the
history of this land., stating that at or,,-- time they only ret,:'ned
9 acres as a result : State Highway Department urchase,, ;rid other
dedications. He adder ghat they have bought bac and reassembled
this 40 acre parcel of r-,nd,
Mr. Podolske, Traffic consultant, stated that the proposed access onto
Fernbrook will generate 2 c,a.rs per minute in the peak hour. He stated
that there will be a direct,`onal: signal on 55 and Fernbrook Lane, plus
cars being stored on the site before; coming out. He added that this is
not unreasonable for southbound/outbound traffic. He indicated that i;
an ideal situation, there should be no access onto a public street_, but
on a major arterial street, some points must be compromised, Mr.
Harris stated. that alternatives for access have been presented. to the
Ramada people, but they want access off Fernbrook, not Harbor Lane or
anywhere eI'!se. He continued that the Ramada Inn is the only intended
user of this accessess pont and any developmentnorth will use Harbor Lane
extended. Mr. Podolske stated that the problem in essence is whether or
not this type of land use in this location is desired.
Planner Overhiser stated that the Village of Plymouth would be compromisingtheCoals, Objectives, and Criteria which prohibit any private drives off
thoroughfares if the 'In Only' drive is permitted' from: Fernbrook Lane.
He added further that the Goals of the Village should be applied wherever
possible when planning new streets and new lots.
Commissioner Stewart stated that the most important objective is to get
the people into the site, they can be directed out by way of signs onto
the cul de sac_. He believed this would be the safest method and would
avoid confusion.
With regard to the Staff proposal of a fifty footparkingsetback area
from all streets to be kept free of parking but used; for drives where
necessary, fir. Harris stated that the Ordinance requirements have been
met with regard to site coverage and setbacks. He stated that the Ramada
people are not willing to buy more land to conform to requirements beyond'
the Ordinance,
Mr, Frank Burg stated that if the request for a fifty footsetbackwere
adhered to,, it would necessitate adding one more acre onto the parcel.
Commissioner Hagen responded that planning a development to be aesthetically
pleasing offers the greatest advantage to the occupier of t.h- land. He
stated that the development as proposed has too much blacktopping and an
effort has to be made to make these large areas more sightly. He added
that the Commis-sion is asking for some consideration o,f measures that
othe,s in the area have taken in this regard. It was noted that the 20
foot tiarking setback is minimum requirement and that other developments in
the area have maintained the 50 foot setback.
After a lengthy discussion on parking, it was agreed that when the
petitioner comes in for Site Plan approval, all the .required parking
stalls need not be shown but areas for parking expansion should' be
shown, where the Ordinance requirements can be met. Commissioner Threinen
added that if the development will be a joint use, a variance could be
granted for parking.

Stewart, that the request of B. W. and Leo Harris Company for a DEFER

So as to provide the petitioner with some direction, Commissioner
Hagen polled the Commission on paints suggested by Staff for revisions
to the General Development Plan With regard. to access, the Commission

available other than Fernbrook Lane. The site would be entered at an
In Only' entrance at least 200 feet north of Highway 55.
With regard to the fifty foot parking setback suggested by Staff,,
the Commission concurs.

Planner Overhiser introduced the proposal, explaining that Site Plan.
the petitioner Wishes approval of a temporary storage building
onthe site at 9700 13th Avenue Nor0. He indicated that since
the Staff Report was Writtent the Staff has become concerned over
whether or not the building will actually be temporary and willcomedownatacertaindate. He stated that Gray bow -Daniels is
negotiating with Ryerson Steel to the west along 13th Avenue and
will ultimatoly be expanding their facility to the west.
Commissioner Threinen pointed out that according to the Building
Code Advisory Cori.mission, this sort of structure is technicallynotabuilding.
Mr. John Sukalo, Graybow-Daniels, stated that a structure which exists
across the street from them is the. type of structure they hope to

of colored metal, and not intended for any use outside of storage.
He stated that they do plan on expanding theNr facility within the
next two to four years.
Commissioner, Ericksen stated that the reason for requiring an increase
of parking spaces is that parking is inadequate now and a Site Plan,
approval cannot be granted unless' parking and screening is brought up
to Ordinance requirements. Planner Overhiser stated that the prime
consideration should be the intent; if any employees are going to be,
housed in this building; the State Building Code will not permit it.
Commissioner Hagen, pointed out that there is a parking problem on the
existing site. Planner Overhiser indicated that there was an evident
parking problem at the time of field inspection, with parking being
done in areas now shown on the original Site Plan as parking areas
approved 1968-69).
Planner Overhise- stated that the condition requiring fire lanes and
fire hydrants could be omitted until a major exoansion occurs, however,,
he added that the conditions requiring screening and additional parking
are necessary.
