record, seconded by Wilker. Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed.
Item II, General Discussion by John Trulson. Mr. Trulson was present at the meeting to dis-
cuss a potential change of use for the Watersedge Office Plaza located in the _4outhwest
corner of intersection Highway 13 and Boudin Street. Mr. Trulson is also the owner of

from the Planning Commission as to what type of uses could be put in. Mr. Trulson would
like to see a restaurant use for the commercial site.
Mr. Graser noted that the present zoning is C -1 Conservation. The proposed Comprehensive
Plan calls for neighborhood commercial zoning, B -1 for the existing office structure and
the beauty shop. Outlot B has R -2 zoning proposed. Mr. Graser did state that if a retail
use is proposed a comprehensive plan would have to be submitted to the Planning Commission
and the Council showing a marketability study. He also stated that the outlot would have
to be addressed in the same manner.
Commission members felt that any use proposed for this property would have to be compatible
with the neighborhood. They also felt that if there would be an increase in intensity of
this property they do not rish to relinquish control in order to be able to regulate the
use itself for future consideration.
Item III, General Discussion of Greenbriar PUD. Mr. Jim Hill, consultant for Dave McGuire,
owner of Greenbriar PUD was present at the meeting. Mr. Hill gave a presentation to the
Commission members regarding proposed changes in the Greenbriar PUD, these changes would
be changes from single family homes and duplex's to quad homes. There would also be a
change in density.

Planner Graser noted that virtually everything in this PUD is identical as far as design
to its predecessor, the only thing changed is the increase in density. He noted that
the street names and numbering system was not compatible with the uniform naming and
numbering system of the City and that this would have to be corrected. He also noted
that there would have to be some calculations made regarding utilities, this is due to
the increase in density. There would also have to be some storm water calculations
made with regard to the land locked pond.
Motion was made by Johnson to give concept approval to the ammended Greenbriar PUD, sec-
onded by Wilker. Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed.
Motion was made by Johnson to schedule a Public Hearing for preliminary approval of

FEBRUARY 7. 1_ +80
The February 7, 1980 meeting of the Prior Lake Planning Commission was called to order
by Chairperson Fitzgerald. Present at the meeting ware Commissioners Warmka, Johnson,
Arnold, Fitzgerald, Wilker, Councilman Bissonett and City Planner Graser.
Motion was made by Arnold to approve the minutes of the January 17,1980 Prior Lake
Planning Commission meeting, seconded by Johnson. Upon a vote taken, the motion was
duly passed and the minutes were approved as published.
Item I - Thelon 1st Addition - Concept. Mr. Thelen was not present at the meeting. Mr.
Dave Ryan of Valley Engineering was present to answer questions.
City Planner Graser gave a presentation to the Commission noting that the subject plat
consists of 2.04 acres and is zoned R -1. Sewer and water is available to the site via
a line on Oakland Beach Avenue. The subject parcel is fronted by Kneafsey's Street,
Oakland Beach Avenue and Trunk Highway 13.
Major concern of the Commission members was the driveway access to Lot 5 from Oakland
Beach Avenue, it was there feeling that this access should be relocated possibly from
Kneafsey's Street if feasible.
Motion was made by Warmka to give concept approval of this plat but would prefer to see
the pan handle driveway of Lot 5 moved to go across the top of Lot 4 to connect with
Kneafsey's Street if this is feasible, seconded by Arnold. Upon a vote taken, the motion
was duly passed.
Item TT, Fd Ri",Ic'nna c=ccpt discussion was called to order. Mr. Birdsong was present to
ans.aer questions.
Planner Graser made a presentation to the Commission noting that Mr. Birdsong is proposing
to develop Lots 30 through 36 of Candy Cove Park. The subject property is zoned R -1. Mr.
Birdsong would like to put single family homes, townhouses or condominiums or a combination
of all of these on this property.
Mr. Birdsong stated that he would like to know what the Planning Commission members felt
would be best for this piece of property from a planning standpoint.
After discussion among the Planning Commission members, it was their feelings that this
piece of property would best be developed with common wall townhouses with a zero lot line.
This would require a Conditional Use Permit under the present zoning_. Also because the
Commission Members would like this to remain under the present zoning the amount of density
would be 3.5 units per acre.

Item III, Bryce Huemoeller Rezoning Request. Mr. Huemoeller was not present at the meeting,
Mr. Cary Gibbish was present to answer gi.<stions. +
Mr. Gibbish noted that they are requestii. rezoning of a parcel located on Franklin Trail
and Highway 13. The proposed use is to r ❑ complex to house business men in the area.
This would be a condominium type complex.
Staff noted that the request is to rezone •.e property from B -3 General Business to B -2
Community Business. It was staff recommei..:ition to schedule a Public Hearing.
Motion was made by .Johnson to schedule a Ptihlic Hearing for this Rezoning Request for 7:30
PM on February 21, 1980, seconded by Warmk:i. Upon a vote taken the motion was duly passed.
Item IV - Variance request by Tom O'Meara. ':'r. O'Meara was present at the meeting to answer'
questions. Mr. O'Meara noted at this time t,,at he is proposing to add a third stall to
his present two stall garage.
Mr. Graser noted that Mr. O'Meara is request. -.g an 8' side yard variance for Lot 11, Block-
1 Vale Addition. The present garage is situated 14' from the side property line. and Mr.
O'Meara is proposing to add a 12' x 14' addition to this garage. Staff recommended denial;.
of this request as there are no hardships involved nor is this unique in comparison to
other property in the immediate area.
Commission members questioned whether this proposed addition could be relocated perhaps
to the front or added onto the rear of the gar::
Motion was made by by Arnold to deny the variance request because the 4 point guideline
was not met, seconded by Johnson. Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed. ')D
Item V- Variance request by DuWade Harris. Mr. Harris was present at the meeting to
answer questions.
Staff noted that Mr. Harris is requesting to divide about 28 acres into 2.5 acre lots.
The property abuts Howard Lake and is situated in the Southeast Corner of intersection
County Road 81 and County Road 17. The property is currently zoned A -1 requiring
10 acre minimum sized lots. It was staff's recommr ndation to deny this variance as
requested because it would undermine all past policies and offical documents, with
regard to rural lot size and set an irrevocable precidence.
It was the feeling of the commission members that they did not want to change the current
ordinance from four units per forty acres.
Motion was made by Warmka to deny this variance request on the grounds that it goes against'.
the standing ordinances as set and it would undermine all past policies and offical docu-
a„ents, with regard to rural lot size and set an irreiocable precidence, seconded by Arnold.'.
Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed.
Motion was made by Warmka to adjourn the Prior Lake Planning Commission meeting, seconded
by Wilker. Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed and the meeting was adjourned at
9:34 PM.
