Mr. Robinette stated that the plumbing inspector has checked out the on-site septic system that was proposed and found everything in order.

Ayes: Unanimous Vice-Chairman Heald opened the public hearing to consider application of St. Anthony Properties for a mobile home park, to be known as North Creek Mobile Home Park, and for a minor comprehensive plan change to include the land in the. 1990 Planned Urban Service Area, located north of Countryview Mobile Home Park, off of Pilot Knob Road. Mr. Knutson attested to the proper published and mailed notices having been given for this hearing. Ken Grund and Bill Block made the presentation for the appli- cants. Mr. Block explained the drainage and stated that Barr Engineering had been working with this. plan, making .sure it would conform in this flood plain area. Discussion followed regarding ..street widths, street. parking, location of central community building, centralized parking, landscaping & screening along Pilot Knob Road, of lots for double wide mobile homes, storm shelters, traffic, ponding and who maintains it, and accesses. • Councilwoman Betty Sindt, a resident of Countryview Trailer Park, brought a list of 11 concerns she has regarding this development, but most especially regarding Phase 3 hooking up to Countryview. Trail. She feels when that happens it will put a real burden on the only access that Countryview has .now. The developers agree to make changes regarding street widths and one side on-street parking, thereby requiring an ordinance change, since we do not address .one side of the street parking in our ordinances. Mr. Knutson stated that perhaps the engineer should be .asked to address the traffic problem and perhaps work something out regarding another entrance, (other than Countryview Trail). 84.39 Motion was made by Langhorst, seconded by Miller, to continue this public hearing until April 5th, giving time to draft an ordinance addressing one side-of-the-street parking only and the .engineers to review the traffic design. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous Vice-Chairman Heald opened the public hearing to consider the application of Dior Development, Inc. for a preliminary plat of Meadows West, single family, Planned Unit Development conditional use permit, variance for cul de sac length and minor comprehen- • sive plan change to include the land in the 1990 Planned Urban 2 d ~ 1 Service Area, located southwest of Jacquard and 205th Street. • Mr. Knutson attested to the proper published and mailed notices having been given. -Jack Lankas, Dior Dev., introduced Rick Sather and Brad Lothrop to make the presentation .for the Meadows West development. Mr. Sather showed slides of the area to be developed, area around it being developed now,. and explained the natural screening, style of homes, etc. Discussion followed regarding ponding, phases of building, lot sizes., screening, and accesses. A gentleman in the audience was very concerned about the cars going north on Jacquard, on to Co. Rd. 64, and all of the headlights shining into a resident's home right in line with Jacquard. Fairly lengthy discussion followed regarding this matter. Mr. Robinette explained that we do have other situations such as this in Lakeville, sometimes they can not be avoided., but have not been a problem. Much. thought and consideration has already been given as to where this access was to be placed.. 84.40 Motion was made by Miller, seconded by Langhorst, to close the public hearing. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous 84.41 .Motion was made by MacGibbon, seconded by Langhorst, to recommend to City Council approval of the application of Dior Development, Inc. for a preliminary plat of Meadows West, single. family, planned unit development conditional use permit, subject to the developer working closely with the city when Jacquard Avenue is graded so as to minimize the inconvenience to the property directly across the road from that north access, for a variance in cul de sac length., and minor comprehensive plan change to include the land in .the 1990 Planned .Urban Service Area; also subject to any recommendations from City Staff. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous Vice-Chairman Heald opened the public hearing to consider the application of Consumers Realty & Dev., Inc. for a preliminary plat known as Woodridge Estates Second consisting of single family lots and rezoning to R-6, medium density, on the westerly portion of the site, at the corner of 185th Street and Highway 50 and for a minor comprehensive plan change to include the develop- ment in the 1.990 Planned Urban Service Area. Steve Grohoski of Consumers Realty made his presentation and prefaced by saying that Staff told him that he need only ask for R-5 zoning, instead. of R-6, for the westerly portion of the site, so is asking that his request be changed to R-5. Discussion,,.followed regarding the exception area, buffering and transition, grading, easements, density, and rezoning. Grohoski stated his reason for asking for rezoning now is so that people 3 buying his lots in Woodridge Estates Second would know that . townhomes might be .planned in the westerly portion at a later date, and it is recorded publicly. Jerry Everson, 9540 210th St., developer of property directly south of Woodridge Estates Second, would like the planning commission members. to have. copies of all the letters that Grohoski's attorney wrote to the City when he was asking for plat approval several years ago. It took 3-4 years to get it settled, to where he could begin building in what is now Lakeview Heights, and he asked the commission to table .any action on Grohoski's request until these letters were provided. The consensus of the planning commission members was that the rezoning should take place at the time they have a plat in front of them so .they know .just exactly what they are rezoning for. Grohoski felt this was the most suitable transition from the P.U.D. across Highway 50 and the B-4 zoning to the south. Tom Crouch, 12900 Grandview Avenue, Burnsville, was in attendance as a neighboring R-2 .property owner to the north. He said he did not object to the rezoning, but felt that the neighbors would object to Grohoski trying to rezone 3-4 years from now. 84.42 Motion was°made by Miller,. seconded by Lambert, to close the public hearing. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous 84.43 Motion was made by Miller, seconded by Walters, to recommend to City Council approval of the application of Consumers Realty for a preliminary plat. known as Woodridge Estates Second consisting of single family lots, subject to City Staff recommendations, but not requiring a twenty foot buffering easement. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous 84.44 Motion was made by Miller, seconded by MacGibbon, to recommend to City Council approval of a minor comprehensive plan change to include the development in the 1990 Planned Urban Service Area. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous Grohoski reiterated that. he was changing his zoning request from R-6 to R-5, from R-2. 84.45 Motion was made by Miller, seconded by MacGibbon, to recommend to the City Council denial of rezoning from R-2, single family residential, to R-5, single family, two family and medium density residential district, of outlots in westerly portion because it is too early in concept to be allowed in the area at this time. Roll call was taken on the motion.. Ayes.: Unanimous • 4 Commissions members are not comfortable with rezoning without a plan before them. Vice-Chairman Heald called. for the staff report on Dodd Point plat.

Elevation on the edge of North Creek in stated as 924 -.this is also the elevation of the l00 year flood plain. Center of phase one. is as low as 922.5.. The elevations proposed form a basin. 3. Homes in Countryview that back up to the south side of this proposed develogmeat historically have had water problems, such as: wet yards all year around, running water during springtime. Would this proposed lagout compound these problems? 4. This is proposed as a separate community (not part of Countryview). Where is the Administration Building? 5.
