PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING July 3, 1986 • Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Walters, Whittingham, Klamm, Miller, Sizer.

Mr. Knutson stated that the proper mailed and published notices have been given for this hearing. Mr. Licht went over the planner's report of June 26th and stated the planned unit development conditional use permit is required because there are three buildings to be constructed on one large lot. These are office/warehouse type structures and all the setbacks have been met. Mr. Licht stated there needs to be documentation in the development agreement for the completion and payment of Grenada Avenue to the developer's north property line. The site's south access drive has been aligned with the access drive of Cedar 70 I and the truck traffic should be restricted to the west access drive, where they can make a good turn. He said this is a f airly straightf orward plan. Discussion followed on: Back-up lip, truck traff ic, access to County Road . 70, building facing material and parking. 86.88 Motion was made by Walters, seconded by Whittingham, to close the public hearing.

Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Walters, Whittingham, Klamm, Miller, Sizer. Nays: Langhorst Langhorst's nay was for the same reason as bef ore, he felt the developer should be represented at this hearing. Chairman Miller recommended that we continue discussion of North Creek II final plan, as the developer was not present and there are still some things not finished in Phase I. Mr. Licht explained that he has met with Mr. Bill Block and the Lakeville Building Official, Dave Krings, on site earlier this week regarding items to be finished, prior to proceeding with Phase II. He said that until Phase I is done the city council will not do anything regarding Phase II. 2 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING July 3, 1986 • North Creek developers will either have to buy the additional six feet that is necessary to keep the 17 units on or pay to have them moved, which can't be done until Phase II is approved. Mr. Licht had asked that all the planning commission members visit the. site prior to tonight's meeting, so they know exactly what is going on. Some of the problems are as follows: 1. A lot of junk has been left on lots where trailers have been moved. 2. The whole park area is an eyesore. 3. The area along Pilot Knob Road is an eyesore. 4. There are old tires sitting in the lot the model home is on. 5. The community shelter looks like a depressed area. Residents could get through (mud) to the shelter when the last siren went off, but there was mud everywhere. 6. Even the homes that do have grass are poorly kept up. 7. They say seeding has been done but it just looks like weeds, there is very little grass. • 8. There seems to be a management problem. At 7:45 p.m. Mr. Bill Block, North Creek MHP developer, arrived. Mr. Block stated that the sod had been put in, the sidewalks are in, the trees have been planted and the rest of the site has been seeded. The sidewalk to the shelter has not been completed, but Mr. Block said that will be done soon. Commission members said they could see very little evidence of grass. Mr. Block said Friedges Landscaping has been doing the work and did admit it isn't coming very good. Mr. Block has contracted for blacktopping and sidewalks to be done. He also said they have been mowing for two days and have moved some of the junk items off the property. Mr. Block stated that they have 30 more homes ready to be moved in to Phase II, so he needs to get approval in order to proceed. He mentioned there are some loose boards on the deck he was going to fix, some sanding to be done and more landscaping to be done in two weeks. Mr. Licht explained when this development came bef ore us prior to Phase I he had expected a f first quality development, but so far that is not the case. The maintenance is lousy and there are many parking violations. Beth Hamilton, 17365 Euclid, is the park manager and was in attendance. At this point Mr. Block made some nasty remarks about Mr. Licht. 3 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING July 3, 1986 Sizer made the comment that Mr. Block sounded like a broken record, that he had nothing new to add to what he had told us bef ore. Chairman Miller stated hat when anything comes bef ore the planning commis- sion he has certain criteria for what he wants to work by, live by, etc. Mr. Knutson said that need to send Mr. Block a list of all the citations or complaints that the ity has against this development. Mr. Block wants to know exactly what he is up against. 86.90 Motion was made by Mill r, seconded by Sizer, to table further discussion of North Creek Mobile Home Park, Phase II and send Mr. Block a letter regarding each item to be complet d prior to action on Phase II. Roll call. was taken on he motion. Ayes: Unanimous Mr. Block showed pictur s of the two signs he has had made for the two entrances to this proje t. The signs are larger than our ordinance allows and he is allowed only ne. He will have to apply for variances. Mr. Block would like fo our next meeting to be held on-site. We will check into this. 86.91 Motion was made by Size , seconded by Klamm, to adjourn the meeting. Voice vote was taken on the motion.
