Staff, presented petitioner's request for preliminary plat approval of property
located at the southwest corner of Orleans Lane and; 28th Avenue North, known
as the "Ameriks" Addition, proposed for 6 single family lots and one outlot
proposed for an additional 6 lots at a future date). Staff noted lot width
deficiencies on all lots of 10 feet. Of further concern was the "offset" of
the intersection proposed at Quaker Lane and 28th Avenue North. It was
suggested by the Fnglneering Department memorandum regarding this project
that additional right-of-way be taken from the northwest corner of the propertyfromtheoutlot) in order to establish a curvilinear alignment for 28th
Avenue North to avoid a problem at this intersection. Staff also noted the
submitted drawings were not complete as, to existing conditions on surrounding
property,'
Commissioner Threinen questioned whether all of the night -of -way for this
realignment would be from the petitioner's property. Staff stated that it would
be.
Staff auded that petitioner had requested that not all of the property be
developed at this time for financial reasons, th4t the proposed outlot would'
be proposed for development in an identical nature to that property on the
east half of the plat.
Commissioner ThrPinen stated that he did not feel the City should be in a
position to have to condemn the right-of-way necessary, that it should be
dedicated. He suggested that, thouga oeti;tioner did net wish to plat the
lots within the outlot that the right-vf-way should all be dedicated at thi's
time.
Robert Ameriks, 38 Harrison Avenue South, Hopkins, owner of the property, stated
thathehad given the City a lot of land in the past for right-of-way. In
addition, he had: granted a 6 foot easement to the lake to the developer of the
property to the west, yet he 1,t,d not seen the trail developed for lake access.
Joe Marciniak, 2805 Quaker Lane, asked if right-of-way would be taken from
his property for the curvilinear alignment of 28th Avenue North in this area.
Staff pointed out that the right-of-way would be entirely taken from the
proposed plat.
J. E Brown, 2655 Orleans Lane, questioned what the intentions would be
towards development of 27th Avenue North: He added: that currently, severe
water drainage problems existed in the area, particularly on his lot. Much
of the water draining from the Ameriks property was draining directly onto his
property,. He stated that with the upgrading of 27th Avenue North, less land
would be available to absorb the already problematic drainage in the area.
He .questioned, also, when storm sewer would be built in, the area.
Darrell Ha nes, 10030 - 28th Avenue North, expressed concern for the upgrading
of 28th Avenue North. He questioned how far east and west it would be developed,
Staff pointed out that it would be developed between Orleans and Quaker .Lanes..
as a result of this project,
Alan Stensurd, 3051 Quaker Lane questioned the timing of the development tofhenorthPidgecrest. Addition),. Staff pointed out that it would be dvoe,ndent

A 83O Happy Chef A-830 Site Plan Amendment
Staff presented petitioner's revised site plan request, indicating that many, if
not all, of the Ordinance compliance matters had been mitigated by the amendment.
Of particular note, Staff pointed out that it appeared as if an error had been
made in the printing of the new Zoning Ordinance, 78--2; i.e., the new Ordinance
provided for a 2 story/45 feet maximum fol, the 5,-3 zoning district. Staff stated
that there was littlr- =relation between 2 stories and 05 feet and questioned
what the intent of the Ordinance was in this case, and/or whether there had been
a printing error in the Ordinance,
Commissioner Threinen stated that the intent of the Ordinance in this case was to
allow for theaters, schools, etc. which required additional height for suspended:
equipment such as screens,.. It was not, however, intended to grant higher buildings
for the zone, but rather to accommodate particular uses. Commissioner Threinen
added that he did not feel the additional height of the tower for the Happy Chef
structure met the intent of the Ordinance in this matter, in that it served no
function
Richard Rice, architect for the petitioner, stated that petitioner would lower the
height of the tower, to a 30 feet maximum in order to comply with the intent of the
Ordinance.
The Commission then discussed the signage for the site in detail with the petitioner..
Proposed were four signs, one on the front of the structure as well as two signs
for both sides of the structure (Post and west) along the roof line and one on the
proposed joint pylon sign for the plat. Sign design was per the plat dated July
12, 1978. It was the concensus of the Commission that four signs for the site
would be excessive.
The Commission also discussed the landscape treatment of the sit,,, particularly
with respect to screening of the parking from Highway 55 frontage.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Threinen supported by Commission-r Barron that
the Planning Commission make the following recommendation to the City Council;
