MOTION BY R06ETH TO APPROVE THE FEBRU M 5, 1987 PLANNING COMMISSION M@RA'FS AS
AMENDED, SEO@DED BY ARMDLD.
Upon a vote taken, ayes by Arnold, Eedrowski, Loftus, RDSeth; the motion
carried.
Steve McDonald, son of William, representative cemented on the request to
rezone about 2.5 acres from P.D.D. to R-2. The development framework for the
P.U.D. consists of one 18 unit caMdcnniniom or apartment building. The applicant
sought to amend the P.U.D. to a townhouse development in 1985. At that time it
was discovered that the subject site contained less than the 2.5 acres required
for a P.U.D.. The applicant is now requesting that the P.U.D. be rezoned to its
underlying zoning classification of R-2 Urban Residential. It is his opinion
that R-2 zoning would be more marketable and feasible at this time.
City Planner Grazer n+men* per memo dated 2/16187 with regard to rezoning the
P.U.D., past action on the rezoning of the site from R-2 to P.U.D. and the
building site envelope.
At this time audience input was called for.
The area residents were not opposed to the rezoning of this property from P.U.D.
to R-2 single family. They were concerned over existing and increased traffic
conditions and obstruction of view to the lake. Also there was great concern
over the future plans of this site, such as size of building and kind, if
rezoned to R-2. There was concern over the jutting peninsula off Bass Street
into Prior Lake and what cold develop there.

MINUTES OF THE PRIOR LAKE PLANNING 3DMMISSION FEBRUARY 19, 1987
The Planning Commissioners were not opposed to rezoning of the McDonald property
from P.U.D. to R-2 single family. However, they were interested in what the
future building plans of the site would be, with regard to structure size and
architecture.

IT@1 III - VARIANCE RBDUESr BY DONALD V. ALBERTS
Mr. Alberts consented on his request for an 8' side yard and 4 front yard
variance for 14704 Care Avenue BE. The variance is requested for a garage to be
added on the side of the house adjacent to the existing double garage. However,
the orientation of the house on the lot makes entrance to the existing garage a
hardship for turning. The lot next door has a timbered retaining wall which is
on the property line. The applicant expresses concern that a car may back off
of the driveway and cause damage to the adjacent hose.
Mr. Robert Hillique commented that. his mother -in -law (Mrs. Bergh) owns the lot
north of the subject lot and has no objections to the proposed variance. He
further commented that the people did riot put the house on the subject lot and
perhaps the C.ammissioners could find a fair alternative to the situation even
though ordinance is specific with regard to the conditions that must be present
in order to justify granting a variance.
The Planning Commissioners discussed the variance and were concerned over the
setting of an irreversible precedent even though they understood the situation.
The Commissioners discussed the possibility of redesigning the existing garage
entrance to allow better access. Their suggestion to the applicant was to work
out an alternative plan and resubmit the proposal to the Commission at a later
date.

The Commissioners discasred the retreat and tentatively decided on April 11,
1987. Perhaps a Friday, April 10 and Saturday, April 11, 1967 could be worked
out. The proposed retreat location would be The Hilton. Topics discussed were;
County Road 42 and north side of Highway 13 type of growth and cc®mity access.

MINUTES OF THE PRIOR LAKE PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 5, 1987
The area residents discussed existing traffic and dust problems along County
Road 83 and were concerned about additional problems associated with the
addition of this subdivision. Also there was concern of when and if they could
hook up to the sanitary sewer pipe being put in by the Sioux Community along
County Road 83.
The Planning Camnissioners were not opposed to the rezoning of Island View 5th
Addition. The proposed R-1 zoning would be consistent with the Cep Plan. Lot
1 Block 5 should be eliminated because of the low land situation. Fremont
Avenue to C.R. 83 should be kept a consistent width of 36' and the creek should
be protected at all costs. Furthermore, the developer should have the
understanding that sewer hookup to the north is not guaranteed by the City.
County Road 83 from Fremont Avenue to County Road 21 should be paved prior to
building.

The Planning Camnissioners had concerns and concurred with staff on topography,
vegetation, erosion, flooding, water storage and retentions issues. They did
agree that annexation of Holly Court would be feasibly goad.
Ted Schweich commented that Holly Court annexation would be for the health,
safety and welfare of the area due to better fire and rescue access. He also
felt that density credits should be given for dam work which is expensive to the
developer. The new design for the units is an asset to the area.

ITEM IV - VARIANCE REQUEST BY MARH HYLAND
Mark Hyland commented on his request for a 7.82 foot front yard and a 5 foot
south side yard variance for 14399 watersedge Trail NE. The variance is
requested in order to construct a greenhouse addition to his hone. He discussed
his plans with neighbors and received no objection to his proposal.
Assistant Planner Garross comented per memo dated 2/5/87. The applicant had ben
granted a variance in 1985 but never utilized it. This proposal would be
consistent with existing development in the neighborhood.
The abutting neighbors were in attendance and supported the proposal and felt it
would enhance the neighborhood. They stated that Mr. Hyland has already put in
a lot of time and money to improve his property.
The Planning Commissioners discussed the variance request and proposed addition.
