Staff presented petitioners request for preliminary plat aprpoval of property,
Located in the northwest quadrant of Niagara Lane and 28th Avenue North for subdivision'
into four industrial tracts for development of owner-occupie(I ';idustrial buildings.
Two major issues involving this proposal were 1) future Mer,° goad alignment and
2) the zoning of the property had been based on a General ' elopment Plan different
from that proposed by petitioner at this time. Additiona` observations and recom-
mendations of Staff were presented per the Staff report. c- JQly 24, 1978.
Commissioner Threinen questioned whether the other matters of concern to the Commission
vis-a-vis previous pi,*oposals in the area, had also been discussed with theet.tioner,
i{e. protection and buffering the residential area to the south (Shenandoah andwest (Minneapolis Workhouse Property, guided for residential use) and possible
Ranchview Lane vacation in conjunction with the prop 1'ty to the west of this site..
He stated that he was concerned that the entire area be planfied in such a manner as
to effectively treat all of the concerns, in particular, the Medina. Road alignment..
Staff responded that a meeting had been held involving all the property owners in
the area with property yet to be developed and that these matters had been discussed,
but not yet fully resolved.
Commissioner Threinen asked Staff to review the history of the area with respect to
the Medina Road alignment. Staff explained the history in detail, highlighting the
major areas of concern, i.e., one access point to Niagara Lane, cul-de-sacs to service
the interior lots as opposed to accessing Medina Road; intersection With 30th Avenue
North to be east of Vicksburg Lane.
Commissioner Erickson stated that he felt the proposed alignment of Volp Construction
till had merit., in te'ms of Medina Road, in that it serviced the development as well as
the proposal adopted by the City several years ago.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES •-2- July 26 1978
Don Anderson, Volp Construction, stated that he did not see a need for the Medina Road
alignment atat all through his development in terms of servicing the land.; However,
he added that he would be 'willing to cooperate with the City in whatever way requested.. He suggested that., as a matter of practicality, in terms of marketing the land and
servicing the most land possible by roadway, that Volp would prefer the more northerlyrouteforMedinaRoad, as proposed on their preliminary plat.
The Commission discussed the impact of the alignment proposed with petitioner.
Mary Kaiser, rood Engineering Corporation, 2765 Niagara Lane, expressed concern that
the entrance to their property, which was located west of the intersection of Niagara
Lane and 28th Avenue North, not be impaired by the proposed alignment of Medina
Road in this vicinity. He stated that potential traffic problems may result from
the alignment as shown by petitioner,
Coimissioner Vasiliou asked Mr. Kaiser how many employees were: currently occupyingtheRCsite, Mr. Kaiser responded that 50 employees were now on the site, but that
the firm was growing rapidly.
MOTION TO DEFER was made by Commissioner Threi'nen supported by Commissioner Vasiliou
the further consideration of the Volp Construction i.roposal for preliminary pkat of
property located in the northwest quadrant of Niagara Lane and 28th Avenue North,
with direction to Staff and the petitioners that, the following matters be taken into
consideration prior to resubmittal of the proposal.
Platting of the property at this time shall include the Medina Road alignment,
not simply outlots with no definition of the land to :be dedicated -for the
thoroughfare.
2. A modified alignment may be acceptable from that already approved by the Commiss,lan
and Council, i.e. more northerly and with elimination of the cul-de-sacs if
all hots may be serviced from other interior roadways.
3. The rezoning matter must be resolved, as the new proposalas designed reflected
substantial differences from that approved by Ordinance #77-18 and Council
Resolution #77389. Staff was directed to consult the City Attorney with respect
to this matter to determine the necessary steps to be taken,
The Commission discussed each of the proposed directions of the previous motion
in detail with Staff and the petitioner as to the impact this would have on the
property. It was further suggested that all property owners involved to the south,
west and north, be consulted and advised of the Medina Road alignment and its
impact upon their property.
The Commission then voted on the main motion,

A-818 Norman P. Jarnes A-818 RPUD Concept Plan 78-,5
S oft fpresetd epnepetitioner's a..quest for RPUD Concept Plan approval of a proposal
located in the northeast quadrant of Trenton Lane and; County Road 9, .consisting
of 96attachedresidlantial units including quadriminiums and two-family attached
patio homes,. Recommendations and observations of Staff were presented per the Staff
report of duly 24, 1978.
Rick Sathre, petitioner's engineer, responded to the request for a waiver from
the " re minimum requirement for RPUD1sj speaking specifically with respect to
the surrounding properties and: the proposed and existing uses thereon.
Mr,. Sathre also explained the proposal in terms of the re-routing of the collector
street (43rd Avenue North) designed to align through the plat. He indicated that
it was petitioner's opinion that the collector would best be routed to align as
approximately 49th Avenue North to adjoin the existing 45th Avenue North to the east,
an already platted right-of-way. The Commission discussed this matte), in greater
detail with p.etitioner, suggesting that an alignment along what would: be approximately
44th would perhaps be a better alternative,
The Commission also discussed the proposal with respect to the access proposed onto
County Road R. SWf reported that Hennepin County had contacted the City with regard
to the accessM indica"`ing that, an proposed, it was an undesirable situation for any
permanent use %.twz to the intensity of the future roadway traffic. Hennepin County
suggested that the access should be off Nathan Lane from the east, then north
to the proposed collector street per the City's Thoroughfare Guide Plan, Staff
pointed out, however, that petitioner did not own all the property to Nathan Lane..
Mr. Sathre stated that the project had been designed with the knowledge that it
would be required, at a later date to eliminate the access to County Road 9, thereby
creating the "collector street access" as the main access for the property,
However, petitioner was not currently in control 'of the total length of property
involved for the collector to be built:
It was suggested by the Commission that the right-of-way for the public roadway
ronning north -south be modified in design somewhat to allow for a cul-de-sac
design at the northerly end of the future County Road 9 right-of-way which would
eventually provide a turn -around for maintenance vehicles, and allow for elimination
of the interim access to County Road 9 for the project.
Willard Johnson, 10030 County Road 9, owner of the property located between the
easterly of the Jarnes RPUD and. the westerly boundary of Nathan Lane;
explained tide history of the once proposed shopping center for his property and
added that plans were in progress for development of the property in the near
future, Mr. Johnson stated that he would prefer, for the purposes of planning his
property, that the "collector" street alignment be determined in a general nature
at least, and indicated a preference for a more northerly alignment than the
Thoroughfare Guide Plan would show, perhaps at 44th Avenue North.
The Commission asked petitioner to explain the private roadway system through the
plat. Mr. Sathre responded that the prIivate roadways were designed to service the
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES -4- July 26 1978
quadriminiums and two-famil3 attached units in such :a manner as to provide access to
the public roadways as well as provide parking near the units..

FURTHER, that the request for a waiver from the 4C -acre minimum requirement for
RPUD proposals be approved, based on the Justification Statement of petitioner for
said request, dated July 26, 1978.
Vice Chairman Schneider stated that he would prefer to see: the collector located
more toward the center of the plat, as opposed to the far north or far south ends
of the plat. Further, he stated that consideration should be given to Mr. Johnson
and his development to the east in design of the collector street. The other members_

A-613 Frederick J Mengelkoch A-613 Lot Division of Unplatted Property
Staff presented petitioner's request for approval. of a lot division of unplatted
property located in the northeast quadrant of Trenton Lane and County Road 9. The
northerly portion of the property would become part of the Jarne: RPUD, #78-5.
In that regard, Staff noted that, should the RPUD 78-5 proposed by Mr. Jarnes
not be completed, that the division. of Mr. Mengel koc} should not be :approved in that
a "landlocked" parcel would be created. One other major concern to Staff was the
potential lack of access to the east for the property. A slight adjustment of the
public street of the RPUD would mitigate this situation,
Commissioner Threinen questioned Mr. Mengelkoch specifically as to whether he was
aware of the amount of land that would be taken from his parcel at the time of the
upgrading of County Road 9. Mr. Mengelkoch stated that he was aware that his lot
would be substantially smaller as a result of the County needs for the roadway,
and that he had been in constant contact with the County in this regard over the
past few years.
Commissioner Threinen asked Mr. Mengelkoch if he was aware that the conditions of
approval of his lot division would include dedication of the right-of-way for future
County Road 9 and Park Dedication of either trail or cash fees -in -lieu to complete
the divisio,. Mr. Mengelkoch stated that, he was aware of the conditions, but that
it was not his intention to give the land to the City or the County for right-of-way
purposes, that he intended to be paid for the right-of-way. Commissioner Threinen
pointed out that every other property owner along Counll;v Road 9 had been required
to dedicate the property without monetary compensation, that this was p,Jlicy in the
case of all thoroughfares established throughout the City.,
MOTION was made by Commissioner Threinen, supported by Commissioner Erickson, that
the Planning Commission make the following recommendation to the City Council:
1. Dedication of the necessary additional right-of-way required for new
County Road 9
2. Park Dedication fees -in -lieu or land dedication for trail purposes per
the City Park Dedication Policy and requirements.
