PRIOR LAKE PJANNING CCMMISSION MEETING — August 15, 1974
The meeting of the Prior Lake Planning Commission was called to order at 7:35 P.M. by
Chairman Bissonett. Members present were Chairman Bissonett, Jobst, Houts, Tercero,
Thorkelson and Councilman Watkins. Also present were Mayor Stock, Councilman Williams,
and Administrative Assistant Sullivan. Members absent were Stack & Walker.
Chairman Bissonett called the meeting to order, then temporarily adjourned the Planning
Commission meeting to hold a public hearing on the Planned Unit Development, ^The Trees",
presented by Robert Kramaruzuk, representative of Alpha Plus.
After a brief presentation by Mr. Robert Kramarezuk, the Hearing was opened to the public
for their opinions.
Mrs. Marlis Bluedorn introduced herself as the owner of the property on which this Planned
Unit Development would be built.
There being no other citizens to give their opinions, the he aring was opened to the
Planning Commissioners and City Officals. 0
Councilman Williams asked Mr. Kramarezuk how many access roads there were to Hwy. 13 and
about the number of anticipated automobiles. Mr. Kramarczuk stated that there was one
access road to Hwy. 13, which was Killebrew Dr., and the tu=ber of anticipated automobiles
would be approximately 52.
Mr. Sullivan corrected Mr. Kramarczuk on the size of the Planned Unit Development as being
an area of 5 acres instead of 7 acres, as orginally stated, because the P.U.D. excludes
Killebrew Dr. but includes the interior street.
Mr. Watkins commented that the five acre site barely qualifies as a Planned Unit Develop—
ment, but the number of units proposed is slightly less than the maximum permitted. The
density of this P.U.D., if zoned Rrl, would qualify for a Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Tooker's memorandum was read aloud by Assistant Administrator Sulli van. Several
comments followed.
Mr. Jobst had a question concerning open space in the proposed P.U.D. (The Trees), would
this land be dedicated to the City or protected by covenants. Mr. Kramarczuk answered,
the open space or recreation area would be owned and maintained by the Trees Association,
except for the street which would be built according to Prior Lake specifications and de—
dicated to the City of Prior Lake.
Mr. Bissonett had a question about the utility layout and the tentative development schedule.

Mr. Kramarczuk answered, that 6 units would be built right away and that the street would
be put in right away, also that the utility layout was in the process of being worked out
although they would Like some kind of approval before they got too involved in this.
One other comment made by Mr. Ki- amarczuk was that City water and sewer could be available
relatively quick because it is already along the access road.
Mr. Kramarczuk r.eie it clear that some of these units would be rentals and some would
be sold.
Mayor Stock askew if the Trees Association would have a set of restrictions or covenants?
Mr. Kramarezuk stated that they had a set of restrictions which Emmett Knox would deliver
to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Thorkelson questioned the parallel parking. Is there sufficient parking space.
Mr. Kramarezuk pointed out that each unit had a double garage, so along with these
three extra parallel parking spaces for quest, there should be adequate parking space.
Mr. Jobst and Mr. Tercero questioned the row housing in this proposed P.U.D. and the
sett--'.g of precedence for future P.U.D.`s
Mayor Stock and Councilman Watkins stated that they didn't think this would set precedence
because each future P.U.D. would have to come before the Planning Commission and work with
the City of Prior Iake to see what density, what type of housing, etc. would be best for th Lr
P.U.D. Also, if all they were worried about was setting precedence, then Mitchel Pond woul
have already set this precedence.
Motion was made by Tercero to approve the concept design of this Planned Unit Development,
"The Trees", after taking into consideration the street, topography, and the size of the
parcel and recommend this Planned Unit Development, "The Trees", to the City Council,
seconded by Thorkelson and upon a vote taken, it was duly passed.

ed by Jobst and upon a vote taken, it was duly passed.

meeting.
