PRIOR LAKE PL: „`DINING COMMISSION - Minutes of May 3, 1973
Mitchell Pond Planned Unit Development
Public Hearing
Members present: Bill Bissonett, Walter Jobst, Dan Stack and Councilman Tom Watkins, Mayor Stock
and 36 citizens.
Tom Watkins read the public notice as published. Dan Stack explained the P.U.D. Ordinance. Emmett
Knox and Frank Wicker presented a map of the P.U.D. and described the property (22 acres, 89 units) to
be developed in clusters of 4 units per townhouse in stages at about 16 units per year. The density would
be about 35% greater than R -I Zoning with an estimated market value of 330,000 to $50,000 per unit.
Emmett Knox then went on to exp.am that they plan to include a 100 foot lakeshore lot to be owned by
the Mitchell Pond Association, which would then own 6 to 8 boats to be used on a rental basis by members
of that association.
At this poin t there were questions from the audience and from the board:
tv , ,'' f arry Nickelson asked about sewer. Walter Stock answered that a public hearing will be held sometime
in May. Walter Jobst asked when the 100 foot lakeshore lot was added to the project, since it was not
included in the earlier presentation to the Planning Commission or to Mitchell Pond Land Survey 0 18.
Doan Stack and Tom Watkins concurred that the lakeshore lot was not included in the original plan.
Emmett Knox stated that the lakeshore lot was only an idea, submitted for our consideration. There was
much opposition to this aspect of the plan, and it was agreed that the public hearing be limited to Mitchell
Pond, without the lakeshore property.
Q. What are the advantages of a P.U.D, over standard R -1 zoning?
A. Long range plans for sewer, water, open space, etc. can be developed for the total area, instead of
a piece at a time.
Edna Poquete asked about the influence of this P.U.D. on our schools. Emmett Knox stated that this type
of townhouse produces nine school age children per unit. (80 school age children, total). Several people
commented that the statistics on school aged cheldren was low and questioned why then 3 bedroom units.
Knox stated that three bedroom units are popular even with families without children.
Jack Andrews asked about the height of the townhouse units. Knox stated that they were no higher than a
regular rambler.
Stanley Becker asked about the distance of the buildings from the road.
I�ssiilil`nox: The houses on the ridge are about 40 feet from the road.
„ 11/6 eenAn of is 6 waW 2616 ems„
Nickelson: The road on the ridge now is a private dirve. Would it have to become a public road?
nox: Yes.
Len Grassini: Is the developer responsible for road building?
Watkins: Abutting and benefitttng properties would pay for it.
Dick Togens: Was the proper hearing notice given to people in the neighborhood, since many summer
cabin owners have not come out yet?
Stack: I contacted the abutting property owners.
Nickelson voiced concern that the road costs could cause him to lose his home.
Gary Ferguson stated that everyone in neighboring Lakeside Manor owns a boat and it would be safe to
assume that they will also be in Mitchell Pond. Does the corporation, Mitchell Pond, own the lakeshore
lot?
Knox: No
Ferguson: Does Wicker Knox?
I!
Knox: No . He stated that in regard to the roads, he feels they will have to help pay for it. He said
he brought up the lakeshore access as a separate plan and that Mitchell Pond will have a swimming
pool right In the project.
John Pederson asked If Mitchell Pond Association could buy up more lots on the lake.
Watkins: The area is zoned R -1 and will stay that way until rezoned.
Togens: A petition with 300 signatures was collected at a similar hearing about one year ago, wanting
longer lot requirements on the lake.
Karen Algren: 89 families is just too many to live on that parcel and so close to the lake.
Ferguson: If you don't have access to the lake, will you still want the project?
Frank Wicker: Yes.
Marlis Bluedorn: Does the whole project get approved at once?
Stack: Approval or denial of the P.U.D. is one decision. Building permits and other items could be stager,
Oliver Hannan: Which set of townhouses will be the first stage?
Wicker: The area at the entrance.
rant Leonard: What you are doing Is to use the corporatioi to get around the one home for 10 feet of
lakeshore area.
Wicker: We volunteered the information. We can use the lakeshore lot as a single family lot.
(2)
Pederson: We moved out here for the low population density. Do we have to encourage this high density
now? Is there an advantage to us?
Wicker: We have accumulated Information on P.U.D.'s air six years. There are advantages to the home
owners.
Frank Anderson supports the P.U.D. concept, but objects to the high population density that goes with it.
Bluedorn: If you have people near the lake, especially children, they will go through other peoples
property to get to it..
John Kalton: At least as far as sewering around the lake goes, this project will help in getting it.
A five minute recess was called and other business was taken upo following the recess.
Len Grassinl asked for a variance on a drainfleld to within 65' from the lake and a 20' front yard setback
variance at a cul'de'sac on Lot 3 Second Addn. Martinson's Island. This was approved.
On a second lot, Len Grassint asked for a variance for lakeshore set back on Shady Beach Lot 12. The
Planning Commission stated that since the dwelling met the 75 foot average setback from laks shore, no
varience was required.
The meeting adjourned at 10:45 P.M.
