The information supplied by the petitioner's engineer, McCombs, Knutson Associates, indicates that approximately 25 acres or one-third (1./3) of that land guided open/semi-public is proposed to be reguidedto LA -2 and LA -3 ""pecilically, approximately 13 acres is proposed for LA -2 usage (3-5 units per acre) and .approximately 12 acres is proposed for LA -3 usage 6-10 units per acre) A public hearing has been scheduled and neighboring property owners have berg notified' and a notice has been published in the legal newspaper. Itis significant to this consideration that it is involving guiding only at this point, and does not include iconsideration for rezoning or platting. Chairman Schneider declared the public hearing open. Mr. Rick Sathre of McCombs Knutson Associates spoke on behalf of G'R- LAR Properties for the reguiding• The first reason is that there is an excess of "Public" classified land, and the cost of the improvements on Vicksburg Lane: are very high.. Private develop- ment would relieve some of this expense. The petitioner has talked with the school offic- ials regarding their need for this land, and they have indicated they do not anticipate a need for this particular land at the present time. Mr. Sathre stated that they felt that Vicksburg Lane was not a good' access point for a school, and that if a school were to be constructed in this area, it would have better access if it were located to the west, Chairman Schneider recognized Mr. Frank Larson, a partner in GAR -LAR Properties, who said that he had met with Or. Roger Adams, of the School, on August 29, 1979. Dr. Adams stated that the school district is, "holding it's own", even with the new development that: is coming in Fie stated that the school district is not receiving many neer students even thogh there is a great deal of building going on in Plymouth at this time. The school officials do not view this site as a good one for an elementary school. Mr. Larson read a letter from Or. Adams dated September 26 1979 which: stated the following points. a. The land has not been considered as a specific school site; b. Enrollments generally are down; modest annual drop in enrollments despite growth; c. The school district anticipates a continued drop in enrollments with some increase in 1983-84, unless some major unanticipated developments occur; d Fifty acnes would be acceptable for a school site. PLANNING C01,11PUSSIQr1 -4- September 26, 1979 Commissioner Vasiliou arrived at the meeting. Mr. Sathre spoke again stating that they would prefer to see the utilities developed now, as they have marketing oncer.ns, and don't want to wait until 1933 before developing this property. Commissioner Larson noted sewer in downtown Plymouth and alignment. It was questioned whether stubbing in this property now v;ould open up the whold area west of Vicksburg Lane for development. Chairman Schneider recognized Mrs. Yay Stivland of 4025 Vicksburg Lane, owner of a 2 1/2 acre parcel in the lower right-hand corner of the ;prop sed property for regu ding. Mrs, Stivland inquired as to what types of construction and the amounts of construction that were being proposed for this area and what impact that would have on this land to the west of Vicksburg Lane. Discussion followed on the guiding of the land and the sewer extension, lir. Sathre stated that complete plans for the sewer trunk location and areas to be served are being drawn up, Frank Larson stated that they are aware of the area that it will cover and they are paying for the improvements on Vicksburg Lane and they want to be sure the sewer is installed under the paving so that it doesn't have to be torn up again in a. few years to install, it.. Chairman Schneider declared the public hearing closed. MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commissioner Steigerwald to act upon this matter tonight. MOTION: CARRIED 5-04 All in Favor Chairman Schneider stated: that he felt that it was inappropriate not to regu'de the 2 1/2 acres belonging to Mrs. Stivland along with the other property, i'n the event that it should become necessary to combine the entire area into one parcel. It was recommended to Mm Stivland that she should. contact the Planning staff about this matter and they would discuss the reguiding of her land to make the entire parcel of land, developable in the future should the situation arise where it would need to be used for a purpose other than a public use" Commissioner Vasiliou stated that she felt that the letter from Dr. Adams of the School" Board did not give the Commission official assurance; rather, it was qualified as Dr. Adams' personal opinion. MOTION by Commissioner lire, seconded by Commissioner Larson to recommend approval of the reguiding of the entire area including the Stivland property to LA -2, as he -Feels that LA -2 is more appropriate in consideration with the Plymouth Hills guiding. Mr. Larson, the petitioner, stated that it was recognized that the area of the lend was less than that needed for a planned unit 'development, and that the proposed project would tend to have a density at the high end of the LA -2 guiding, He stated that the petitioner had no problem with the entire area being guided LA -2 and that it was anticipated, it wmuld be developed as a onit. Staff commented that the total number of units for a project which was not a planned unit development would be determined by the ordinance formulas based on minimiIM land area per dwelling unit. Omo*rm to amend the main motion by Chairman Schneider, seconded by Commissioner Steigerwald, to include that the land shall be developed as a unit, and the concept shall include the Stiveland "exception" parcel, PLANNING COMMISSION _5_ September 26, 1979 MOTION CARRIED 4-0--1 Commissioner Vasiliou opposed.

Commissioner Vasi l i ou expressed concern regarding the appearance of the equipment and stated that it should be screened from view of the surrounding residential properties Mr. Kennedy responded that there were no restrictive covenants of this particular property requiring such things as sc-eening of roof top equipment, primarily because Carlson Properties felt that City ordinances spoke to many of the things that restrictive covenants in earlier days were intended to address.

Boyer calmer Lot Division/Variance This ite;n was introduced by staff who reviel=red the September 20, 1979 staff report. The petitioner is proposing to divide an existing platted 56,300 square foot lot into 2 parcels, one of 37,800 square feet and one of 18,500 square feet. According to the sub- mitted site plan, the existing structure is on the proposed 37,800 square foot lot (Parcel A) while the 18,500 square foot lot (Parcel B) would remain undeveloped. Due to the proposed width for both Iots being less than the minimum ordinance requirement, a variance is required. to officially proceed per ordinance with the lot division action. Mr. Jerry Coyne of Lot Surveys Company was recognized by Chairman Schneider. Mr. 'Coyne spoke regarding the survey of the lots and the high water line indicated on the site plan. Staff explained that for lot area purposes, the City has, in the past, accepted the premise that the property line is the shoreline itself. After discussion, the Planning Commission suggested that Mr. Palmer should have his surveyor add the 906 (high water) line to his plot plan before presenting it to the City Council, and show just exactly where this line lies to 'determine the actual buildable area available on the new lot which would be created. Mr. John Palda of 5760 Oakview Lane was recognized by Chairman Schneider. He read a letter (placed. in the file) stating that he was opposed to the proposed 'lot division. He stated that he had relied on the final plat when he purchased this land for his home several ;years ago, and was very much opposed to this lot division for reasons of environmental concerns and the fact that no hardships had been created, other than perhaps economic ones_. Chairman Schneider recognized Mr. Jim Brown of 5710 Oakview Lane, who presented the Planning Commission with a petition signed by residents of the. Palmer's Cove Addition, with the exception of Mr. Boyer Palmer. This petition was presented to the Planning Commission upon the conclusion of Vie reading of the protest to the proposed lot division. Chairman Schneider recognized Mr. Boyer Palmer who stated that he had platted this area, and that the topography shown on the maps was from the recorded plat., S^r. Palmer further statedthat his motivation for the division was to spread the cost of the assessments for utilities now coming into the area and that an additional taxable lot would be a benefit to the City. He staged he was considering building a smaller home for himself and that he did not feel deve€opment of the proposed lot would detract from the neighborhood. PLANNING C014MISSION _10- September 26, 1979 Chairman Schneider stated that the house shown on the submitted plot plan seemed relatively small for this area and was out of character. Mr. Palmer statedthat the Wdrawing was submitted at the request of staff and that an actual house would be better n character with the area. Chairman Schneider requested staff to review the ordinance criteria for granting a variance, and asked the petitioner how the request complied with those standards. Mr, Palmer stated that it was a reasonable use of the land which was now more expensive than when he originally developed it and that -Duld not be a detrimental effect. MOTION by Commissioner Wire, seconded by Commissli'vner Steigerwald, to recommend denial of the lot division variance as proposed by petitioner Boyer Palmer for property located on the west shore of Bass Lake along the northeast portion of the Oak View Lane cul-de-sac, based on the finding that no hardship had, been demonstrated, and ordinance variance standards are not met. MOTION CARRIED 5-0-0 All in Favor Commissioner Vasl'iou commented that she felt that insufficient information had been provided by the pC•"Jtioner, and recommended that before this petition was submitted to the City Council that relevant topographical data be provided.
