February 22, 1978
A regular meeting ofthe Plymouth Planning Commission was called to order by Chairman
Davenport at 7:30, p.m, in the Council: Chambers of the Public Works Building, 14900 --23rd

MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Davenport, Commissioners Barron, Ericks.)n, Schneidel,

STAFF PRESEh"1 Charles Dillerud and Kate Marx
A-793 Johnson/Ostrum A-793 Preliminary .Plat, Rezoning and
Conditional Use Permit for
Subdivision Unit Project
Staff presented petitioner's request for preliminary plat, rezoning from R-0 (Restricted'
Residential) to R -1A (Low Density Single Family Residential) and a conditional use
permit for a Subdivision Unit Project for property located .on the west side of Larct
Lane. at 45th Avenue North. The property was proposed for development into 64 single
family dwellivig lots. Staff made recotmendations and observations regarding the
plat per the Staff report of February 16, 1978.
Commissioner Threinen questioned the necessity of transition to the property south in
the form of larger lot sizes for the proposal. He indicated that based on the current
development plans that had come before the Commission in the area., it may not be
important for a "transition area" of larger lot sizes to be includedon the south
property line, In effect, an artificial transition would be developed by forcing
the larger lots on the peripheries of all plats in the area while the internal lots
of ,ea.ch plat would be smaller. The general development character -of the area appeared
to be single family residential in all cases
The Commie.;sion discussed the encroachment upon Lot 22, Block 3 of both trail easement
and road right-of-way for Larch ,Lane. It was suggested that perhaps the lot would
have to be adjusted to eliminate the "angle" from the street right-of-way as well as
adjustment of all lots to the west in order to accomplish enough buildable area and
setback requirements for the lot.
Pat Owen, 12125 -45th Avenue North, questioned the provisions of the Subdivision Unit
Project sectioi of the Zoning Ordinance and its applicability to the proposed plat,
Staff explained the ordinance. Mr. Owen stated that it was his understanding that
Plymovth required larger lot sizes. Staff responded that this was true for conventional
p`l'atting, but that the Subdivision Unit Project and Residential Planned Unit Development
ordinances granted Bevel oper5 greater fl exibi 1 ity in platting of lots as W;11 as the
smaller lot size.
PLANNING COMMISSION llft-TING MINUTES M-2-- February 22, 1978
Commissioner Schneider asked petitioner to explain to Mr. Owen, as well as to the
Commission, why he had chosen to plat smaller lots for the property as opposed to
conventional lots. Mr,, Gordon Ostrum, petitioner, explained that the smaller lotts
allowed developers to build homes for less money in land and utilities and pass
such cost savings on to the buyers of the new homes. The cost savings would be realized
in terms of less lateral utility costs per lot.
Chairman Davenport closed the public hearing at 8:15 p.m.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Erickson, supported by Commissioner Vasiliou that
the Planning Commission take action on this item at this meeting.
MOTION CARRIED (7-0-0) (All in favor) MOTION CARRIED

Plan review by the City of "Burl Oaks," a single family detached residential project
located in the southeast quadrant of Highway 101 and 6th Avenue North (extended),
proposed for a total of 81 single family lots. Recommendations and observations were
made by Staff per the Staff report of February 17, 1978.
The Commission discussed the request in terms of a concurrent review of both Concept
Plan and Preliminary Plat/Plan review. It was determined by the Commission that it
would be more appropriate to deal with the Concept Plan only at this stage and defer
action on the Preliminary Plat/Plan stage until a later date. Petitioner and the
surrounding neighbors In attendance agreed with the decision of the Commission.
Commissioner Threinen questioned petitioner as to staging of the project. Peter
Pflaum, President of Lundgren Bros, Construction, Inc., stated that the east portion
of the property would begin first with about 20 Lots and proposed "build -out" would
be thre !-to-five years away.
Commissioner Threinen asked petitioner if this would require use of 9th Avenue North
for construction vehicles Mr, Pflaum stated that this had been considered as a
possibility, but added that the current road accessing Highway 101 to the existing
house could also possibly be used. He stated that he wouldbe willing to check into
the matter and report back to the Commission at the meeting considering thepreliminary
Plat/plan for the project.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -F3 February 22, 1978
Commissioner Threinen asked what considerations had been given to disposition of the
peninsula on Gleason Lake, Mr. Pflaum indicated that there were three possibilities
under consideration: 1) deeding to the State Department of Natural Resources (WO, 2) deeding to the City of Plymouth as natural area, or 3) deeding to each of the
property owners in the development 1/81 of the peninsula and having them maintain it
Vice Chairman Scheider opened the meeting to comments of the audience.
Russell .Eywldt, 16925 -9th Avenue North, read a statement representing the opinions
of 21 homeowners along 9th Avenue (Porth who would be abutting the project directly.
The statement emphasized the following concerns of the homeowners: 1) traffic, 2)
recreational facilities, 3) open space for "park" type use, 4) preservation of
environmentally significant areas, i.e. the peninsula on Gleason Lake, 5) maintenance
of the access to the Luce .Line Trail, 7) access of the proposed: neighborhood through
the existing neighborhood to the north, 8) the difference between the R -IA existing
zoning and the RPUD proposed zoning as affected the neighborhood. The statement sub
mitted by Mr. Ewoldt shall be a part of the official record on this project..
Commissioner Threinen asked Staff to explain the difference between the R -IA and RPUD
zoning classifications for the property and the ramifications, if any, to the neighbor-
hood. Staff reviewed the ordinance, provisions with the audience.
Commissioner Threinen asked Mr. Ewoldt if he would prefer ti,e property be developed'
R -IA or be developed RPUD with greater flexibility being allowed for the open space
provisions as well as lot arrangements_. Mr. Ewoldt stated he would prefer the
flexibility of the RPUD.
Commissioner Threinen questioned petitioner as to the reason for the access to the
plat via existing 9th Avenue North. Petitioner's engineer, Rick Sathre of Mct mbs
Knutson, stated that the reason for the access to 9th Avenue North was to allow for
two accesses to the property for safety vehicles per City suggestion.
Seri Erhmann, 17605 -5th Avenue North, asked what treatment would be given to the
property abutting the Luce Line Trail and Highway 101. Mr. Pflaum stated that
plans were to berm the Highway 101 frontage in order to buffer the resideE4ces that
would be abutting it. No plans were yet solidified for the Luce Line Trail frontage.
Mr. Erhmann also questioned the proposed off -set access of 5th Avenue North to
Highway 101 and the price range proposed for the units. Mr. Sathre responded that
the 5th Avenue North access to the property from Highway 101 could be aligned to
match the 5th Avenue North access to the west. Mr. Pflaum responded that the price
range of the: units would be between $80,000-$200,000 averaging $710,000.
Sandy W'erts, 17036.9th Avenue North, asked how the City's park policy affected this
property and the surrrounding neighborhood, particularly with respect to how money
from developers would be spent. Staff explained the policy and its relevance regarding
the proposed project to Ms. Werts, Ms, Werts stated that she felt the peninsula
should bo retained as public open space and that there should be an access to the Luce
Line Trail maintained for the 9th Avenue North residents:
Karen Ziminski, 16900 --9th AvenueNorth, indicated than: the only place for the children
to play at this time was at the dead-end of 9th Avenue North. She asked that this be
maintained instead of traffic being routed through their neighborhood. She added
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -4-- February 22, 1078
that she did not feel the peninsula would require much maintenance and stated that
she felt the City could take on such a burden.
Dave Werts, 17035 --9th Avenue North, asked how the sewer drainage would be handled.
F Sam explained the plan proposed for the project.
tis, Werts'addedthat she could see no alternative for the 9th Avenue North residents
reaching the Luce Line trail except by the sidewalk provided along Highway 101. In
the winter months, however, the piling of snow within the sidewalk areap precluded the
