8.02) Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Variance for "Terra Vista 3rd Addition" (5825,
5875, 5925 Vicksburg Lane and Outlot A— 2012097)
Community Development Director Juetten reported on the request of GWS Land Development
of Plymouth, LLC for rezoning, preliminary plat, and variance for "Terra Vista 3`a Addition," on
properties located at 5825, 5875, and 5925 Vicksburg Lane and Outlot A, Terra Vista located in
the Wayzata School District.
Councilmember Willis asked Dave Gonyea, applicant, to explain the parcel to the east that isn't
part of their development that goes to Vicksburg Lane. Mr. Gonyea stated they will obtain an
easement for the dedication for that area for the cul-de-sac, and the property owner is in
agreement. The property owner would be able to get one house pad in there with one acre of
wetland. The lot overlooks the wetland.
Councilmember Willis stated he's concerned about granting a variance for that lot, and the
property owner will request two lots rather than one that is shown as part of this plat. Mr.
Gonyea stated with the classification of wetlands and delineation, they wouldn't look at two lots
as they would be too small. Therefore, he doesn't see this is as a problem. Community
Development Director Juetten added it would be very difficult to meet the zoning ordinance
requirements and put in two lots.
Motion was made by Councilmember Willis, and seconded by Councilmember Bildsoe, to adopt
an Ordinance Amending Chapter 21 of the City Code to classify Certain Land located at 5825,
5875, and 5925 Vicksburg Lane (2012097 — Ord2013-08), Resolution Approving Findings of

Addition" for Property located at 5825, 5875, and 5925 Vicksburg Lane and Outlot A Terra Vista
