THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY CITY OF p� PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 PRIOR LAKE PLANNING COMMISSION April 20, 1978 The meeting of the April 20, 1978 Prior Lake Planning Commission was called to order at 7:30 PM by Chairman Thorkelson. Members present were Commissioners Speiker, Johnson, Cavill, Fitzgerald and City Planner Graser. The minutes of the April 6, 1978 Planning Commission were motioned for approval by Speiker seconded by Cavill and upon a vote taken, motion carried. First item on the agenda was a discussion on different aspects of problems on unusually shaped lots. Considerations were given to minimum depth, square footage and the 10 foot dedication for Lakeshore. The Kohlrusch public hearing was called to order at 7:45 PM. Mr. Graser gave a brief description of the parcel involved noting the following points: a) Public Utilities - this area would probably receive services after the year 2000, b) the railroad was to provide service to this industrial site and has now filed for abandonment, c) the other industrial site, located in the southeastern part of the City, does not have sewer and water but the possibility of services in the near future at this site is adequate to handle the industrial needs of Prior Lake. Staff's recommendation in this case was to approve the request since Prior Lake cannot reasonably support this industrial site. On the other hand, agricultural use is appropriate with respect to the City's Development Framework. Mr. Kohlrusch stated that t s area was zoned industrial for specific reasons and those reasons r - conger exist. Commissioner Speiker motioned to approve the rezoning as quested, seconded by Cavill. Chairman Thorkelson stated that he thought this was too soon to rezone, maybe the whole parcel should be rezoned agriculture in the future. Commissioner Speiker stated that with changes coming in the Comprehensive Plan, he still agrees with staff. City Manager McGuire stated that the plan will take at least six months and maybe more. Upon a vote taken, Speiker voted for the rezoning, Cavill, Fitzgerald, Johnson and Thorkelson voted against. The rezoning was denied.

The minutes of the March 16, 1978 Planning Commission were motioned for approval by Johnson seconded by Speiker and upon a vote taken were approved as published. Mr. Graser stated that he would like to add an item to the agenda. Motion was made by Cavill to discuss a proposed subdivision for Carlson P, Carlson at 10:30 PM seconded by Speiker and upon a vote taken motion carried. First item on the agenda was a subdivision discussion for Mr. Dick Schwartz. Mr. Schwartz is proposing to develop the Vic Schroeder 24 acre farm. Mr. Graser gave a presentation siting low areas, grade problems and access to Eagle Creek Avenue. Mr. Schwartz stated that he was in agreement with Mr. Graser's proposal as to the driveways not fronting on Eagle Creek Avenue �~ (County Road 21). Questions were raised on the interceptor easements, lake 4 access, soil compaction from the interceptor and total number of lots. The overall view of the Planning Commission was that the plan looked feasible and the developer was asked to continue working with staff to work out any additional problems. Next item on the agenda was a variance application for Mr. George Borgerding. A 63 foot Lakeshore setback variance and an 8 foot front yard variance are requested for lot 9 and the south 42 feet of lot 10, North Grainwood. The proposal is to remove the existing buildings and replace it with a year - round home. Mr. Graser gave a description of the parcel inovlved. Motion was made by Speiker to grant the variance due to the fact that the new dwelling will encompass the old building envelope and it is a unique lot and will be a permanent, year round home. Motion was seconded by Caviil and upon a vote taken, motion carried. Next item on the agenda was a Home Occupation Permit application for Mr. Bruce Langevin. Mr. Langevin is proposing to construct light, two wheel, horse drawn carriages at his place of residence, 16078 Cambridge Circle SE. The parcel is zoned R -1. Planner Graser gave a brief description of the request and Mr. Langevin then stated that he has an air conditioning unit and extra soundproofing in the garage. He also stated that the noise does not bother his wife who is immediately above him in the house. A petition was then given to the Chairman with 16 signatures of the neighbors in opposition to the home occupation permit. Cavill motioned to deny the home occupation permit because of opposition of the neighbors and the` =� occupation is not in compliance with the ordinance. Motion was seconded by Johnson and upon a vote taken motion carried. THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY Next item on the agenda was a public hearing for Brooksville Hills St_h Addition. The rezoning request is from R -1, single family to R -2 urban residential. Mr. Graser presented staffs recommendations and considerations which included: a) The parcel had at one time been considered for duplexes, b) tLe impact on Brooksville Hills 3rd would be lessoned since the homes directly across Franklin Trail would be facing Franklin Circle, c) a rezoning would not result from a new residential pattern, d) the relation- ship between Franklin Trail, a collector street and the subject parcel is accepted by the public, e) lots must have hammerhead driveways. The Planning Commission discussed these points during which time the public had the opportunity to provide input. Motion was made by Cavill to grant the rezoning as requested by staff seconded by Johnson and upon a vote taken motion carried. The public hearing for the Mary Eggum subdivision was opened at 8:55 PM. Chairman Thorkelson read the answers to questions raised at the last hearing and the memorandum from City Engineer Larry Anderson.

Mr. Schmidt objected to the road cut to Oakridge Court. Mrs. Bluedorn asked if the purpose of the road was.:.iore of an alternative.. She does not think upgrading Fairlawn Shores is going to keep people from using the new road. Mr. Nelson stated that this addition is going to devalue his home. Mr. Rygalo asked if it was aboslutly necessary to develop this land at this particular time. Mrs. Bluedorn asked r:'.iere the entrances onto Highway 13 would be. Mr. Graser stated there would be no new entrances onto Highway 13 and Mrs. Bluedorn asked why. Planner Graser stated why the Highway Department had denied any new exits onto Highway 13. Commissioner Speiker stated that this plan is the best he had seen of the subdivision. Chairman Thorkelson stated that he hoped the people in the audience appreciated the work that had gone into this subdivision.
