Staff also explained that a copy of the proposed subdivision had been submitted to the City of Maple Grove and that a forms] response had not been received, Chairman Davenport opened the public hearing and recognized Mr. George Burkards who represented the petitioner. He stated that the proposed lot: sizes were within Ordinance minimum and that while it had beer; anticipated 62nd Ave. N, would be utilized for trail purposes, the hand once vacated could be incorporated into the lots. He stated concern regarding the recommendation that the proposed cul -tie -sac streets be looped. He stated the petitioner would prefer the proposed design to avoid a through traffic situation. He also stated the petitioner disagreed with the staff recommendation that a general development plan be submitted showing typical structure layouts on the lots since it was the intent to grade out -the streets and sell the lots with each buyer designing a custom home to fit the topography and shape of the 'lots. He also stated' the petitioner would prepare an environmental assessment worksheet for the City review recognizing the land con- ditions on the property.. He questioned whether a 50 foot setback from Hemlock Lane as proposed by staff was necessary since it was their understanding Hemlock Lane would not be used as a County road in the future, Commissioner Threinen inquired whether it was the petitioner's intent to remove the existing structure on proposed lot 1, block 2 at the corner of Hemlock Lane and 61st Ave., the response was affirmative. As to the possible acquisition by the Hennepin County Park Preserve District of the east portion of the subdivision, Mr. Burkards stated that petitioner had not been in contact with the County but that the petitioner would not agree to voluntary purchase of the land; any land to be acquired would have to be via eminant domain procedures, Commissioner Threinen stated that a general development plan should be submitted especially indicating where the petitioner felt the buildable portions of the lots were and where fill would be required and how fill would be provided from the site. Staff explained that the submitted grading and drainage plan was based upon April 1960 aerial photographs and not upon a current survey of the property. He stated that the petitioner bad submitted a letter stating that a topographical survey would be prepared following preliminary plat approval.: C.hairrran Davenport noted that County and City maps indicated 61st Ave, right-of-way extended from Hemlock !ane to Pike Lake but that the petitioner's layout incor- porated that land from the end of constructed 61st Ave. N, to the lake. Mrs, Dorothy Krekelberg, one of the petitioners, stated that the portion of 61st Ave. N to her knowledge had been vacated some years ago.

Mr. Hammond' also commented abolat the use of park dedication funds in the area and about sight distance problems at Hemlock Lane and 61st. Ave. N. Mr. Hammond also stated that the City should retain storm drainage easements across the north part of this property even if the right-of-way is vacated.

Mr. Bernard Barr, one of the owners and petitioners, commented on previous remarks by residents of Maple Grove. He noted that certain damming had been permitted in Maple Grove to create ponding which had restricted the flow of the drainage creek, he also commented that the development immediately north of this land in Maple Grove periodically resulted in drainage problems on his land.

S.W. and Leo Harris Company, (79035) Rezoning Staff introduced the item and reviewed the June 8, 1979, staff report and the proposal to rezone from R-0 to R-1 the westerly 12,2 acre portion of the vacant land north of Harbor Lane and east of Fernbrook Lane. Staff explained that the petitioner had submitted a general development plan for the rezoning but had not petitioned for preliminary plat approval Chairman Davenport opened the public hearing and recognized Mr, Frank Harriss who offereda brief history of the development of the area and stated that he felt it was appropriate not to plan or plat too far ahead until specific development was eminent, ter. Harris stated that the property should have been zoned by the City at the time his company purchased it at the request of the City, Mr Harris ex- plained that the development proposal was pending involving a large motel complex at the south end of the total property which includes the already zoned 12.2 acre site to the east and a portion of the Freeway Center Addition adjacent to Harbor Lane. He stated that tho desire of the petitioner was to create the approximate 7 acre site for that development and that the general development plan for the entire area was considered premature. Mr. Harris stated that the petitioner realized the specific sites for development would have to be platted' but to plat the entire area at this time was not financially sould. Mr. Harris stated that he was seeking four considerations: 1. Approval of the rezoning which would enable the creation and development of a site for the motel complex 2 Don't commit to a general development plan at this time; PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES -6- dune 13 1979 3, Defer certain decisions such, as the intersection ofany internal street with i ernbrook Lane such as, that indicated on the submitted plan; 4> Postpone a final decision of access to the property to the east via pro- posed 34th Ave. N, and consider that provisions should be made for a shared cost" ,with the property owner to the east. Mr. Harris suggested that perhaps the proposed site of the motel only could be rezoned noting that only a small portion was in the R-0 district and platted apart from the rest of the land. Chairman Davenport inquired as to why Mr. Harris was reluctant to subject the entire area to a preliminary plat and general development plan in accordance with the Ordinance requirements,: He stated that the final plat could consist of the proposed development site with the rest, being platted as outlots and needed rights-of-way. Mr. Harris responded that he was concerned the costs involved in platting and the higher taxes and assessments He stated that the cost of preparing plans thus far were deemed unnecessary for creating only one site. Chairman Davenport responded that commercial land of this magnitude was routinely stbiected to Ordinance platting and zoning requirements when development was initiated., Commissioner Threinen stated he did recall petitioner being asked by the City to purchase land from the State Highway Department and that given the guiding of the area, it was plausable that the vetitioner would assume the zoning had been es- tablished for tha entire property. Chairman Davenport and Commissioner Wire asked the secretary to review the require- ments equirementsofSection11oftheZoningOrdinanceespeciallyregardingtheprovisions for a general development plan and platting. The petitioner stated he was not prepared to enter into the committments of platting since he was not prepared to answer questions about future development of the land. He also indicated he did not concur with the recommendations of the Engineer's memo. 9 Commissioner Threinen stated that he did not agree with the petitioner's observation about the need for a general development plan and. platting. Chairman Davenport stated concern with precedent in approving a rezoning of a major commercial area without platting. He recognized Mr, Don Olson of WRC Investment Corporation who stated that he represented the developer of a motel on the proposed site.: He stated he was present to answer questions the Commissioners may have about the proposed development, Mr. Tom Reersgord, representing the ownership of the property adjacent to the east, stated concerns about getting adequate access to his property and whether the proposed construction of 34th Ave, N. along the north end would be appropriate in consideration of topography. He stated he had no objections to the proposed rezoning.` MOTION by Commissioner Barron and seconded by Commissioner Threinen to act on this petition at this meeting, MOTION CARRIED 6-1-0 Chairman Davenport opposed stating that the item should be properly deferred so that a preliminary pl-at could' be submitted.

In further discussion Commissioners Schneider and Threinen stated that the proposed zoning was found to be consistent with the guiding for the area, and that con- sideration had been given to previous history of this area and the petitioner's acquisition of 4t at the City's request; but that the City development procedures required a preliminary plat for large commercial areas such as this and that a preliminary plat should be submitted prior to development.

Staff reviewed the June 8, 1979, report regarding the proposed rezoning of the 1.2 acre site at 1410 State Highway 101 from RI -A to B-1, Staff recommended denial of the petition based upon the LA -1 guiding of the area and the impact of the commercial zoning of the property on the surrounding area and upon the uV ity system since the proposed use would be more intense than single family residential, Chairman Davenport opened the public hearing, Mr. Henry Stenquist representing the petitioner presented graphics of the area and of the general development plan for the property.. He explained the proposed use was an approximate 16,000 sq. ft. office building and tfiat the proposed layout considered the surrounding area and particularly the adjacent residential land. Mr. Stenquist also noted 'that existing commercial and other nonsingle family land uses in the area of Highway 101 and County Road 6 should be considered as basis for rezoning. Commissioner Wire inquired as to the proposed site layout and Mr. Stenquist re- sponded that Ordinance setbacks virtually prohibited a building on the south portion of -the property adjacent to the single family residential land. Commissioner Schneider noted the LA -1 guiding and. stated that the rezoning proposal did not justify the major change to commercial guiding which would permit a B-1 land use. He stated concern for the residents for the area who should have pur- chased their properties with the knowledge and assurance of the established guiding. In response: to a question by Commissioner Schneider as to the benefit of the pro- posed rezoning to adjoining properties and to the City, Mr. Stenquist ;mated the proposed use would provide necessary service office facilities for the neighborhood, Lewis Supplee, the petitioner, stated that he had owned the property since 1961 and had been aware of the guiding. David Johnson of 17230 14th Ave. N. stated that he owned three properties in the area and lived on one of them. He stated he was opposed to the proposed rezoning in that it would have a negative impact on the area and was not consistent with the guiding..

In response to the staff report, 'he stated he had considered other designs but that the proposed one seemed ti minimize necessary setback variances and access problems. He stated the intended use was for dental and optometric clinic uses, Commissioner Schneider noted the petitioner was the original contractor for the site and a discussion ensued as to original concerns expressed by the neighborhood when the property was rezoned: Commissioner Threinen stated his recollection was that the neighborhood had many objections to the rezoning and that in consideration of the approved rezoning and site plan several measures were to be taken including a lim'itation'as to the amount of parking and appropriate screening. He stated that it did not appear that the conditions of original approval had been successfully carried out. Commissioner Schneider inouired whether the petitioner had met with the ne4ghbors and Mr. Samuelson stated that the owner did now believe that was ne,;essary for site plan approval. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES -9- June 13, 1979 Commissioner Eagleton inquired as to the present use of the building and Mr, is Samuelson stated that to his knowledge the uses were dental clinic and dental laboratory. Coamissioner Eagleton stated that he had been on the site and noted that there was a non -dental use, viand Associates, a manufacture's representative, Commissioner Eac,Ieton stated concern that the facility was used for general office I• purposes which could be expanded into the addition. Mrs. Deininger of 1100 E.ergreen Lane recounted the history of the development and the neighborhood objections to the rezoning. She stated that there was neigh- borhood concern. about the nonresidential land use especially with the proposed expansion which would generate additional traffic and would intensify existing problems with the site.

Mrs, Mickalski of 1020-B Evergreen Lane stated she agreed with Mrs. Deininger's comments and was op; >ed to the proposed expansion, Commissioner Schneider asked the petitioner to eAplasn the basis for the proposed setback variance, Mr. Samuelson stated that the proposed addition would be in line with the existing building relative to the north setback; and that regarding the east setback Ever- green Lane was the effective front of the property since a service road ;parallel to Highway 55 was not possible MOTIONby Commissioner Threinen, seconded by Commissioner Eagleton to make the following recommendation to the City Council: That the request by L.W. Samuelson Construction Company for site plan approval for an addition to the clinic at 1025 Evergreen Lane be denied for the following reasons; I. The proposal represents an unwarranted expansion of a commercial use in a predominant single family area, considering especially that the tenants of the use have not been limited to clinic use and thus there appears to be increased potential for general office use en- croachment into the neighborhood, 2. Petitioner has not established a clear hardship for the necessary building setback variances on the north and east where there is abuttment to single family homes. Chairman Davenport stated that the request represented further exacerbation of a gereral' planning problem, Commissioner Barron stated that the petitioner should note the existing building was not erected as per original plans, that opaque screening had not been provided, from the parking area and that the proposed use would further intensity -the commercial activity, Chairman Davenport called for a vote, MOTION CARRIED 6-0-0 All in favor McCombs Knutson Associates (79043); Conditional Use Permit Staff reviewed the report for June 8 1979,.and explained that the petition was in response to the condition of Resolution 78-169 approving the petitioner's building PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES -10- Jane 13, 1979 at 12800 Industrial Park Blvd. which in itself was a conditional use, permit in an industrial district, Staff also recalled that petitioner had appeared before the40Commissionlastyearandhadinquiredwhetherseveralofficetenancies, in addition to the petitioner's, could be approved under a '*blanket'. conditional use pemit the Commission had responded in the affirmative stating concerns about traffic intensity and parking capacity on the. site, Chairman Davenport recognized Kate Marx representing the petitioner who s+ated that they had not .been able. to °rind specific traffic generation. data for the proposed uses which included an architect, an insurance agent, a secretarial service and an accountant, Ms. Marx inquired whether the Commission would consider allowing additional tenants, similar to those proposed, without individual conditional use permit requests..

Commissioner Barroi stated that in accordance with the original resolution, each proposed office tenant or group of tenants, such as that submitted, should be reviewed by the City. He also stated that the proposed one year review of the conditional uses was standard and that the intent was not to establish an expiration of the permits but rather to have an initial annual review to assure there were no problems..
