Vice Chairman called for United Properties/Central Telephone Company to
present their concept plan for a Planned. Unit Development for an office-
storage facility at the northwest corner of Dodd Boulevard and Cedar Ave.-
Mr. Licht explained that they had a P.U.D. on another piece of property
but have decided it was not. the best place to locate, so now are looking
for input regarding building at this new site.
Mr. Bruce Palmer from United Properties stated that they own or manage
-.over 2 million dollars worth of property. at present and showed drawings of
some of them. This site they are looking at is 11 acres and they would like
to put up 2 buildings on it.
Mr. Roger Knutson, City Attorney, mentioned that his partner has an owner-
. ship interest in this property.

clude yard .storage, warehouse facilities, office function, phone store and

parking facilities. They have worked hard to conceal the-yard storage
from view. The second building would perhaps be office-warehouse, built
at a later date.. He explained they had studied the storm drainage
situation at length and is asking for input from the committee, their
reaction and opinions on this .site., etc. Mr. Palmer asked if P.U.D. is
the way. to go. Central Telephone wants a facility as soon as possible..
Mr. Licht mentioned that they should come before the Planning Commission
first. Water)-Sewer service would probably come from Foxboro ugh ox Dodd
Park.
Mr. Geisness asked about tt?e prior P.U.D. site. and Mr, Palmer explained
that it just wasn't a good location and the type of facility they want is
better suited to the terrain-at this new site,. where Dodd BI.Y:d! meets Cedar
.Avenue. Mr. Geisness also asked about the landowner's intended use of the
.property. Mr. Licht said-this area has not been."defined as far as land use.
Mr. D. Miller is against this project because he l ves close by and fears
another industrial .:park starting, also increased traffic. He also mentioned
.the. stored equipment being an eyesore. Mr. O'Brien mentioned several poss-
abilities regarding screening the yard. storage. In answer to the traffic
problem, Mr. O'Brien didn't feel there would be that. much from the Central
Telephone operation...
Except for Mr. D. Miller the general consensus of the committee is that
this is a pretty good .concept for this corner and warrants further con-
sideration. There are a few points to be addressed before a preliminary
plan would be reviewed.
AIr. Grohoski addressed Air. Sid Miller regarding the snow-covered cars. and
boats, and Mr, Miller said he had not loeatedall the. owners. Regarding
the body shop in a garage, Mr. Sid Miller said the doors were always closed
on the three. occasions .that he was there.
Mr. Grohoski mentioned that the application of Ken Zak to rezone a parcel'
of property will be reconsidered at the next City Council meeting and he
feels that the Planning Commission needs to be aware of the situation and
reiterate our position. Mr. Johnson suggested that. staff contact council
members individually to make their points more clear.
82.41 - Aiotion was made by Grohoski, seconded by Geisness, that the Planning
Commission. understands that a matter previously before the commission, i.e.
the Zak P.U.D. request is going to be reconsidered at an upcoming City
Council meeting and be it hereby resolved and brought to the attention of
the City Council that the Planning Commission hereby resolutely affirms
its findings and recommendations as previously submitted. A great. deal
of time and effort went into making the recommendations and no further
evidence has surfaced to adversely influence these recommendations.
Roll .call was taken: Ayes: Unanimous
