Staff presented petitioner's request for preliminary plat approval. of the
Little Peninsula" of Medicine Lake. Proposed was the platting of 30+ acres
into three primary lots (one for each structure) and two outlots (to contain
common roads/facilities and a storm water holdinzl pond). Recommendations and
observations of Staff were presented per the Staff 'report of April 12, 1978..
In addition, Staff pointed out that proceedings viere currently in progress
concerning the residents of the area and an objection to the negative declaration
of the City -prepared Environmental Assessment Worksheet.
Commissioner Thre-inen questioned whether it would be possible for the outlots, if so
platted, to become tax forfeit parcels. Staff indicated that it would be possible
but that these matters should be controlled within the context of the covenant
for the plat.
Commissioner` Threinen asked what the purpose of the division of the land was; Staff
indicated that it was not unique to this project to divide buildings of an apartment
project into separate land areas for each. It was pointed out that Sagamore,
located at the northwest corner of County Road 9 and County Road 18 had platted
the land of that project in a similar manner.
Don Maxwell, 2630 E. Medicine Lake Boulevard, presented the Commission with a letter
from the local homeowner's association, AMLAC, which shall become an official part
of the record of this proposal. In summary, the letter requested that no action be
taken on this proposal until the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) matter was
complete; in that the residents felt that this action could have an effect upon
the outcome of the proceedings.
Mr. Maxwell stated that he had recently spoken with the Hearing Examiner in the
matter and.had been told that he would listen to matters involving the base of the
peninsula as it involved the development of the tip of the peninsula. Mr. Maxwell;
questioned whether the separation of the two projects by platting would not inter=
fere with the EQB procedures on that basis.
Mr. Maxwell added that he felt it would: be the burden of the petitioner to prove
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MINUTES April 19, 1978
to the City that it was necessary for certain reasons to plat this property at thistime,
Chairman Davenport asked Mr. Maxwell fiis opinions as to the platting of outlots
as proposed. Mr,. MaxwTell responded that he did not feel it would be appropriate
that the outlots be allowed to be separated, from the lots with structures, but
that they should be tied in some manner to the structures: which they would benefit.
Lud Rippe, Manor Apartments, .stated that he had purchased a condominum from the owner
of the located at the base of the peninsula and had never been told that
there would be development on the tip of the peninsula.
Petitioner was not present to respond to the questions of the Commission or audience.

Commissioner Threinen stated that he felt the efforts of petitioner to buffer theOaknell. Addition were adequate,, but he questioned why similar treatment ,had notbeenaffordedthepropertyownerbyAxelJ. Erickson to the south.
Commissioner Threinen stated that it did not appear as though the developer had
provided sufficient screening from the proposed motel for the existing singlefamilydetachedresidentstothesouthandwest.
The Commission also questioned what depth would be allowed for the single familydetachedLotsatthenorthwestportionoftheproject. Petitioner responded that
the proposed depth for those lots would be 150 feet. It was pointed out that 150feetwouldexceedthedepthofthelotsoftheexistinghomes. In addition,
petitioner was proposing that the "backyards" be bermed (20-30 feet in width)
and plantings be supplied for additional buffering ni` the existing residentialareafromthesinglefamilyfroposedbythisproject.
Staff reminded the Commission that the lots currently fronting County Road 9 wouldtotbeallowedtodosointhefuture --that they would be accessing somehow to the
south, when County Road 9 would be upgraded to its final width.
Commissioner Threinen questioned petitioner as to whether Mr. Axel Erickson hadbeencontactedregardingtheproposal. Mr. Dor. Hess, Landplan, Inc., representingpetitioner, stated that they had not personally contacted Mr. Erickson.
Commissioner asked petitioner how the phasing of the project. was planned for con-
struction. Mr. Hess responded that Phase I would be including the extreme north
and extreme south ends of the pro;;ect--the commercial to the north and the single
industrial' structure to the south, Building F', plus the entire service road fromnorthtosouth.
Commissioner Schneider asked why petitioner did not consider a permanent road to
Building P at this time as opposed to having to build two roadways. Petitioned
stated that this, would be a possibility, Their intent had been to separate thetraffictypes --residential verse industrial --from each other.
The Commission questioned whether petitioner had had direct contact with Robert
Berthiume regarding the proposed project. Mr. Hess stated that they had not,
Commissioner Vas l i ou_ askedpetitioner what the price range of the homes would be, Mr. don Nelson, Criterion Homes, stated that the improved single family lots withFdmeswouldbeapproximately $73,000.

Gonna Maus, 14130 - 40th Avenue North, indicated that near the north end: of the
proa`
r`
ec'-- t, that right -of-way had been ret aside for the access of those who lived on
County Road 9 to eventually access Fernbrook Lane via another route.. She added
that she was concerned that more traffic would, be routed past her home by people
considering the right-of-way intended for the residents facing County Road 9 as
a "short-cut" to Fernbrook Lane, Ms. Maus stated that she did not feel it would be
at all appropriate to allow the traffic from the commercial structures to route
through the adjacent residential neighborhood.
Commissioner Threinen stated that the "tail" of right-of-way asked of the petitioner
was one that would allow, further options for access for the existing residential
neighborhood once the County Road 9 access would be closed for individual drive-
ways. He stated that. it would be prudent than as, many options as possible be
maintained.
Ted Zbikowski, 3816 Fernbrook Lane, asked 1) about the, eventua. disposition of the
Olson riveway north of his lot, 2) density proposed for the project. Staff stated
that Mr. Olson''s driveway would cease to exist as it currently does. As to density,
the proposed density ;was at three units per acre, the top end of the LA -1 allowable
density.and the: bottom end of LA -2 range of density. Staff pointed out that a
portion of the site would even allow 5-10 units per acre in density. Mr. Zbikowski
stated that he did not feel the quarter -nacre lots were appropriate for this area.
He stated that the City standards had always been for half -acre lots at least.
He added that he did not feel the 70 foot lot widths in the, area were at all
appropriate, that the area would be too highly used.
Mr. Zbikowski questioned whether those living on cul--de-sacs and smaller lots within
this development, would be assessed in the same manner, as: he would be assessed.
Staff stated that manner of assessment would be the same.
Mr. Zbikowski stated that iie was against the density as proposed within the LA -2
and LA -3 areas,
Tom Leverenz, 14005 Ccuoty Road 9, asked what the plans for County Road 9 were
for the future. Staff indicated that the County planned to widen the road but
ad not committed to when or how. Mr. Leverenz stated that he was concerned with
traffic control and tie.grade of the land in the area with respect to County Road 9.
Mr. Leverenz stated that he would have no ,objection to townhouses but felt that
the industrial area was too large in comparison. He added that he did not feel
it was necessary to have two fast-food and a motel and a convenience store, rather
one or more of these commercial uses. could by eliminated.
Ron Holden, 4115 Fernbrook Lane, stated that he did not understand why the right-of-
way for future County Road 9 would be required at 120 feet. Staff explained the
usage of the right -of" -way. He further commented that he felt the buffer area between
the developed lots to the west of the project, the existing four lots (not built upon
at this time) also to the west kind the model should be greater. Mr. Holden added
that he felt the; lot sizes for the proposed single family area were too small.
Commissioner Vasiliou asked Mr. Holder what his opinion would be it townhouses were
developed in the area as an alternative. Mr. Holden stated that he wouldnot
object to townhouses,

located between the subject parcel and Interstate 494 was 'notified of the meeting. Mr. Hess responded that he had obtained the list ,of adjacent property ownersfromHennepinCounty, but that he would check into the matter to determine who
the party was and tl insure notification of the upcoming meeting.
Roger Strom, 14010 -40th Avenue North, asked what the location of the motel in the

proposal per the Staff report of April 13, 1978,
Petitioner's engineer, Mr. Fran Hagen, stated that with respect to that area
indicated to be inundated at -the time of the 100 -year flood, it had been determined
by the developer to be better to not 'bLjild within the area, but to have the land
divided amongst the adjoining lots. During soiltesting of the site, it was found
that the area of Inundation was mostly peat and difficult to build on regardless
of the flooding considerations. The lots eliminated were lots 14-24 of the west
center cul-de-sac of the proposal.
Mr. Hagen added -that. this made the density per acre calculation of approximately
2'.8 units per acre.

Use Permit
Staff presented petitioner's request for site plan and conditional use permit

3,000: square ft?et (to be rented) and peti.tion.or (5,800 square feet) proposed to
be located north of Highway 55 at industrial Park Boulevard, withil the Minneapolis
Industrial Park Srd. Addition.
Staff pointed out that per the Zoning Ordinance, the structure proposed by the
aetitioner had only minor alterations: necessary to meet i.ode requirements..
However, the proposed conditional use permit for the use of the bank within this
zoning district, I-1 (Planned IOM istrial), was a matter of compatibility consideration
t;ar the City.
Additional observations and recommendations of the Staff were presented, per the
Staff report of April- 14 1978.
Robert Lexvold, President of the Plymouth: State Bank, stated that it was the desire
Mt-Te__Tank to relocate to the proposed site for several reasons:: l) It would; be
near where the bank had been located for the past five years; a) The area is
actually the "edge" of the industrial park, not the center; 3) A great deal of
the customers are the industries and worker's therefor of the industrial park;
4) Conpetitionawithin the financial field was at a fierce stage at this point in
time, necessitating the bank to move now if at all possible. Mr. Lexvold added
by way of explanation that the tenant for the general office portion~:of the
structure would ;be Associated Bankers.
Dale. Kennedy, representing Carlson Properties, owners of the Minneapolis Industrial
Parkrid-Addition, was. asked by Chairman Davenport how use was comparable to those
that, were discussed at the time of platting with the neighborhood. Characteristics
of the uses discussed at that time included little daily traffic, no weekend or
evening traffic, uses compatible with the industrial zoning of the property.
Mr. Kennedy responded: that he did not feel this use would be objectionable to the
people living in the area. He added that he would be willing to call another
meeting of the property owners,if so desired,
Commissioner Threinen stated that the; bank, in its current location, was a non-
conforming use, addin -tat non -conforming uses were not mellowed to expand and t hate

this Use,,asosedoprp could be construed as an expanding non -conforming use, Commissioner Threinen further added that if the use were allowed it would, in effect,
be spot zoning for a special interest in his opinion.
The Commission discussed the use proposed in greater, detail as it related to therecentlyapprovedMcCombs --Knutson Associates structure and use. (A-800) adjacent tothesite.
MOIION was made b, Commissioner Threinen supported by Commissioner Schneider that
the Planning Commission make the following recommendation to the City Council;
That the request of the Plymouth State Bank for a conditionaluse permit to
operate a full bank within an I-1 (Planned Industrial] zoning district
be den'`ad based' upon the following findings,
1. The use fails to meet the criteria set forth in Section 8, Subdivision 3
of the Zoning Ordinance dealing with conditional uses allowable in an I-1
Planned Industrial) zoning district,
2. The proposed use is incompatible, with the; industrial district in that the
activities of the use entail traffic by the general public into the industrial
district.
3. The proposed use is incompatible with the industrial district in that the hours
of business of a bank will extend beyond those of most I-1 uses thereby intro-
ducing traffic and the general public into the I-1 district during hours when
said traffic and activity, should be minimized for security purposes.
4. Financial institutions are permitted' uses in B-1 and B-2 districts and permitted
by conditional use permit in B-3 districts. Substantial platted and serviced
acreage exists in the community with these zoning classifications upon which
such a use is clearly contemplated by the Zoning Ordinance.
5. Approval of the petitioised conditional use permit would be contrary to Goal B,
