COMPREHENSIVE hearing to order.
k PLAN.
The purpose of this hearing is to review the '.comments and statements that
were heard on March 19, 1979 at the public hearing.
Comment 1 Frank- Muelken - representing Bill Sh okins farm - Mr. Simpkins
°1 owns a large parcel of land with approximately 1700 feet of highway frontage.
He would like some flexibility to the land so that other developments could
be built. A letter was also received.
Responser The plan places a major emphasis on restricting the spread of'.
F commercial areas along Ni'ghway 13 and many areas do note high density
in the 1973 Plan were actually developed at low density. By placing this
± entire area in medium density residential classification, I will;provi "de
similar densities as are now available in theCentral neigh`ourhood and at
the same time encourage a planned unt development approach ikot.will offer
residential 'diversity or flexibility.'
Notion. by Bissonett that the m p
parcel of Si kins,be indicated on the Comprehensive
Plan as a medium density residential,. seconded, Busse and upon 4 vote taken
It was duly passed..
r
Comment 2r Bob Barsness - presented a preliminary site plan of the ar „ea across
Highway 13 from Brooksville Shopping Ce 'where the future development of
the Prior Lake. State Bank is ianned A
P plan for a restaurant to be but�i t Is ..,{
fi being thought about. This request is that "the zoning be changed from 81
same other zone so that a restaurant can be built in that area,
- A
Response Past public hearings involving this parcel have provided nearby +,
i residents- assurances that only low intensity comwrct
al uses would be res
and 'a restaurant would ,
r gone traffic and 'open hours” LMn
` uses mow listed in the BI district. The final decision on this. however,,,
fj would occur,i✓t the time a comprehensive amendment to the zoning ordinance i`s

Comment 3 Visions VIII RE: Peter Kopp Farm. This land is intended to be "I
residential. They are requesting the planners to look at the area before they
do any rezoning keep it as residential.
'Response Visions VIII requests to leave the. Peter Kopp Estate in residential
use will seriously hamper the long range objective of providing Prior Lake a
tax base and local employment opportunities. The land Is not
suggested as
the site of heavy'industry requiring flat well — drained soil, but as a special
aftu,'commerciai service campus in a parklike setting. Currently, there
is considerable land available for residential development but few - land use
i options remain that can return to the community more than it demands in 'services.
The sate is intended as a land bank for local employment in close proximity.

Notion by Tlzorkelson to have the property that is to the north of the natural
divide remain in special industrial in our comprehensive plan, specifically
i statingtiin the plan as a long range _use, :seconded by Busse and upon.a vote

Comment 4 Charles James - Boudins Manor - Don Williams - Boudtns. =, Manor

w�t�le, iwdnriuo; O etteve t, OIIOlW by s.k c eedl,
Response .Intersection of Cty. Rd. 42 and'TH 13 has been recommended
for high density residential rather than commercial area based upon
�OMPRENENSIVI the need for only one convenience commercial area to serve residents
PLAN north of the lake. The site .selected is at 42 - and Crest, Avenue which
will be central to the developing neighborhoods north of the lake and
will better control the urge to create additional strip commercial
' centers along both 42 and 13. Existing conmrcial. development in
\, Savage to the north on 13 is more likely; to spread north toward
i
if the site in question is also comwercial. The same argument applies
�\
to both.northeast and northwest quadrants of this intersection:
�
the plan were to accept the intersection Proposed
n of 13 and 42 as the
commercial area, the s to at Crest and 42 ;should be considered for
medium and high density residential construction with a substantially
reduced commercial area,
lotion'by Bissonett that the James property be indicated as conawercial
and the church portion as Rl, seconded by Thorkelson and upon a vote
taken it was duly passed.
Comment 11 John Trulsen - WatersEdge Office Plaza This area is
the conservation zone. The request is to change to some type of
., residential area so he may do some building.
Response WatersEdge Office Plaza §.. proposal, for low density residential
in the area adjoining the former Du Our Marine site rather then
conservation appears to be a reasonable request.
Motionby Bissonett to have the'WatersEdge building zoned to "B1 as
� business and the property next to it be , low density residential -,
r seconded by Busse; and upon a vote taken it was duly passed.
Comment 5 Gene Simpkins and Doug Farrell - North Shore Oaks area b
tx Sand Point, Beach. Request to ;receive sewer services and high priority:
sewer to come 6rough and to continue with the platting,
Response Thts request for immediate sewer and water service must be 'I
balanced'agai,nst. other needs of the City now provided with utility
service. There is no question about the long range need for sewer
F service to this area but timing may be delayed while other areas of
the City are permitted a "fill in" of skipped over land' However,"
because of thequestion of looping the waterline on the,north side, and
extending gunk sewer to eliminate lake pollution it may be ,practical in
j f the near future.
No action by notion, however, the Council is in the process of reviewing
the Comprehensive sewer and water plan and has directed the Consultant
En9ipear to prepare the preliminary ,sewer and water plan and the area j
that i in question 'will addressed in the plan.
Cowni"t 6 Jack Oakes - Agricultural land and rural service area.
Requests the 40 acre minimum development be reconsidered and take
reasonable approach to the land and work with each property owner large
and small to.see that they are equally_ served.
Response The discrepancy between proposed rural service area lot
sized of 40 acres and. the Much smaller lot area requirements or -
service district have been ;characterized as arbitrary. The plan perhaps {
should be-revised to stress flexibility, although the long range
objective would be to preserve agricultural sites. The details should
be worked out-when the zoning revisions are prepared later this gear..
No motion however, g
, planning ca mission is directed to stork on the 1
philosophy on the rura` life zone in ag land and the opportunity to
reduce lot sizes from 40 acres.,
Comment 7 Alwe Picha would like: her property to be-considered for
possible rezoni�no to a high residential density. This site is now
r a single Taal "ly dwelling located by the Senior Nigh School.
Res .
ponse The request to change the low density residential proposal
to high density residential adjoining the high school and the City of I
Sava ' -
Savage to be Inconsistent with the area. The density across. = �
the road would have been low if Greenbriar PUD had been developed, and
all adjoining deveiopwent in Savage is at low density.
g _Kinney opposing Aimac development for the two outlots and
zoning changes. She also stated her opinions why she opposes the development
and changes;
Notion by Bi "ssonett that Outlot O at the intersection of Crest and 42 on the
•_ comprehensive plan be high density and Outlot F be medium density, seconded
by Thorkelson and upon a vote taken it was duly passed.
Comment 9 Bill Bradstad - Inguodona Bea :ch area stated that this area is
G very _Od and he requests that due to the small area it should ruin as a
single family residential area and ".nothing else should be allowed to crowd the
urea.
Response Inguodona Beach area is proposed as mediUpr,dehslty neighborhood
because of existing densities of development. The small lot sized will continue
to this level of activity. Apartments are not proposed for this area, but the -
`plan will recognize existing density. A letter was also received from Tom'
Sylvester on March 31, 1979 on this area.,
Notion by Busse to classify this area in the comprehensive plan'as medium
density and amend the zoning ordinance to recognize the entire irea as a
si4il lot, s.Ungie family area, seconded by Watkins and upgn a vote taken it »,
.,k. was duly passed. ... : :�
l' Comment 12 - Bryce Huemoeller.'
a. Franklin Trail - request commercial zoning 6� hanged so that
r it would include buildings for commercial '. use such as offices
And off ice type.
t Response a. Intersection of Franl.l_in..Trai l and Mighway 13 should remain'
the north boundary of'the Central Business District. The
current business uses are already spread thinly along several
:. miles of this highway.
Not Ion, by Busse to have Franklin Trail and Highway 11 remain as the orthern
r boundary of the central business district, seconded by ThorkeIson and upon a
vote taken.`it was duly passed.
.. - Comment b. Parcel south of Spring Lake be annexed as soon as possible
and zone light commercial along Highway 13.
i }
Response b. Annexation should continue as requests are made by residents lo�.
w, of the area, however, the suggestion for additional coanmerciai,,ri
Y uses along Highway 13 to the south shouid'be opposed'since ;
the area already has more land zoned than utilized..
Motiom by Bissonett that the commercial area north of Spring Lake township remain
as currently platted by the Spring Lake 'township, seconded by Busse and upon a
vote taker was duly passed. ,
t
Comment t The triangle at the intersection of TH 13 and 170th Street contains a
:.,
carwash and is shown on, the plan as commercial. This site was developed when
annexed to the City and was recognized as a commercial use rather than a legal
non - conforming use when the C'ty z ordinance was extended. lt.has been
recomwandedthat the plan should not recognize the existing development in an
effort to control or to discourage the spread of strip commercial uses along Hy. 1
Response This is a sound recoi ndation and perhaps the option that should have
been selected when the area was zoned original y- :' The comprehensive plan
recommendation may be change& from commercial to either high or medium density
residential. The effect will be negiigibie since the site is already developed..'
However, long range recycl.ing,of the property back to residential will not be
possible unless the plan ii changed as recommended. m
it 'Notion by Thorkeison that the'comprehensive plan should reflect this area as
medium density residential, seconded by Bissonettr and upon a vote taken was duly
passed.

Comment 14 A similar su t,
¢` COMPRENSIVE ggestion "has been received concerning the
EH
e 'P � commercial frontage on Highway 13 between 170th Street and County Road 123.
The major difference is that,while the area has been zoned commercial
x . for several years, no development has taken place. This site has also
been suggested as a high density residential area to di ""courage the spreAd
of strip commercial uses along Highway 13.
J Respopse Staff would favor a high density residential designation on
this site both in terms of limiting'strip commercial" and in providing
enough population to support existing business activity already situated t.
in the strip. The effect wouid`be :immediate since the land -could be
:developed :rithout being troubled by existing construction. 'A residential
\� PUO with`on site commercial services should be encouraged as an alternative
h, to the present proposal.
Motion by Bissonett: to change our comprehensive plan to reflect high
i density residential for this property, seconded by Thorkei'son and upon ,
' a vote taken it was duly passed.
Com 6m, 16 A request was made during earlier Planning Commission
discussions that specific areas along the undeveloped frontage of the
lake of Prior Lake should be set aside for commercial services oriented
�. to hake use.
Response The Planning.Calmission and Staff following_a 1enghty,dis-
cussion decided that these needs should be filled by means of the
Conditional Use ,section of the R2 and perhaps 'even the Rl`zoning'districts.
The major problem in specific sites is that of anticipating the ideal
location - for such a service.
' Motion by Thorkelson to direct planning commission to proceed with
developing guidelines under the conditional use portion „of'the zoning
ordinance, seconded by Watkins and upon a vote: taken it"was "duly passed.
Comment 17 Leo Vierling stated that he did not want his 'property rezoned
M industrial and park.
Response Mayor Stock and tho- ity Manager met with Mr. Vierling on
this matter and "he stated thacI t would be acceptable to show the industrial
x and park in our loon, range. plans, but he did not want it rezoned to those
The Staff fee:,s• that this would be acceptable and recommends that
the comprehensive plan show the uses as proposed, and that the zoning.,
ordinance show the parcel as agricultural.
The letters that were received by the City Manager and discussed by
the Council are as follows
Letter 4 Requests, high density land use along Trunk.Highway 13 in ,
Willows - Spring Lake neighborhood.
hesponse The letter implys that high density use is the only appropriate
residential designation for land along major through €tires,- Obvi "ously,
t there are.many neighborhoods already developed within the City which do
( not follow this hypothesis. On the other hand, there arm advantages for
high density use adjoining major streets as indicated in another letter
that was received) (Letter 3) It is possible to extend the medtum .
density land along Highway, 13 to the south, but at the expanse of sub -
ut ome
ing "strip" medium density areas for "strip" corcia�l. It may be
well to review the current proposal for Mood view Addition before any
change. is recommended.
No action was taken, the Council did agree with staff recommendation..

COMPREHENSIVE Letter '' Requests that the natural open recommendations north of .Chatonka
PLAN Beach be changed to low densi residential.
Respense The proposal is based upon natural limitations of the site includi.
a relatively large marsh. The zoning,, ordinance when amended will be carefully
drawn`to exclude from residential use only those areas which are not considered
to be developable.
No action was taken by the Council, however, they felt that. this should be taken
care of when the. zoning ordinance is looked at.'
letter 9 This is, from the residents of Spring Lake Township,in
F opposition to "early annexation" to the City.
Response The orderly anne)4itton agreement provides that Section 9 may be
annexed within 8 years or by1,1980 unless the Metro Interceptor.ts' operation.
The City may then annex up to 500' from the lake and install sawers'as well as
other public services.
,
The Council reviewed the petition anti accepted the Spring Lake Township
residents petition for opposition to early`
"annexation.
Additional comments, responses, letters and information have been typed out
and are part of the public hearing. ,,These are on file and can be reviewed
by anyone .upon; request.

-
j According to the comprehensive plan, the zoning of,th'is land may come at a

Comment Frank Muelken - representing Bill Simpkins farm - Mr. Simpkins
owns: a large parcel of land with approximately 1700 feet of highway frontage.
He would like some flexibility to the land so that other developments caaad
be bullt. A letter was.'also received:
Response The plan placts a major
� J emphasis on restricting the spread of
commercial areas along Highway 13 and many areas designated as high density
in the 1973 plan were actually developed at low density.
Y• Y Placing this I
entire area in medium density residential classification, it will provide
similar densities as are now available in the Central neighborhood, and at j
the.. same time encoura9e a planned unit development approach that w i l l offer
residential diversity or flexibility.
Motion by Bissonett that the parcel of'mpns be indicated on the Comprehens

the Prior lake State Bank is planned. A plan for &`restaurant to be built is
being thought about. This request is that the zoning "be changed from 81 to
some other -zone so that a restaurant can be built in that area.,•
Response Past public 'he&rtngs involving this parcel have provided nearby
residents assura nce s 'that only low intensity commercial uses would be respected
An a restaurant -would generate more traffic and longer. *mn hours" than
uses low listed in the 81 district. The final decision on this, however,

do any rezoning and keep it as residential.

Response: Intersection of Cty. Rd. 42 and TH 13 has been recokme nded
for high density residential rather
COMPREHENSIV
PLAN
than commercial area based' upon
the need for only one convenience commercial
F
area to serve residents
north of the lake. The site selected it at 42 and Crest Avenue which
will be central
to the developing neighborhoods north of the lake and
will better control the urge to create additional'
strip commercial
centers along both 42 and 13. - Existing commercial development in
Savage to the north
on 13 is more likely to spread north; toward 42
if the site in question is also commercial'. The same argument applies
both
i
to northeast and northwest quadrants of this intersection. if
the plan were to accept the intersection
of 13 and 42 as the proposed'
commercial area, the site at Crest and 42 should be considered for
medium and high density residential construction with a substantially
reduced commercial
area.

Response This request for immediate sewer and water service must'

now provided with utility
service. There is no question about the long range need for sewer
service to this area, but timing may be delayed while other areas of
the City are permitted "fill

because of the question of looping the waterline on the. north sid

and

Requests the 40 acre minimum development be
reconsidered and'take

and small to see that they are equally <served.
Response The discrepancy between :proposed rural service area lot
sized of 40 acres: and the much
smaller lot.ares requirements or urban,
service district have been characterized
as arbitrary. The plan perhe s
should bw revised to stress flexibility, although the long; range p
abjc4lve would be to preserve agricultural sites.. The details should
be worked out when�the zoning

} Response Inywwdona Beach aca is 'proposed as medium density neighborhood
because of existing densities of development. The small lot sized will continue
to this level of activity. Apartments are not proposed for this area, but the
plan will recognize existing density. A letter was also received from Tom
Sylvester on Mauch 31, 1979 on this-area.

" Comment 12 `Bryce Huemoeller
Franklin Trail - request commercial zoning be changed so that
it would include buildings for comeercia.l use such as offices
and office type.
Response a. Intersection of Franklin-Trail' and Highway 13 should remain
the north-boundary of the Central Business District.' The
current business uses are already spread thinly along several
miles of this highway.
Notion by Busse to have Franklin Trail and - Highway 13 remain as the northern
Q - boundary of the central business district, seconded by Thorkelson and upon a
V wrote taken..it was duly passed.
Comment b. Parcel south of Spring 'Lake be annexed as soon,as possible
and xone light commercial along Highway 13.
\`
Response b. Annexa should continue as requests are made by residents
of the area, however, the suggestion for additional commercial
uses along Highway 13 to the , south should be opposed since
the area already has more land zoned than utilized.
Motion by Bi,ssonett that the commercial area north of Spring Lake township remain
as currently platted by the Spring Lake: township, seconded by Busse and upon a
vote taken it was duly passed.
Comment l -; The triangle at the intersection of TH 13 and 170th Street contains a
" carwesh and is shown on the plan 'as� commercial.; This site was developed when
annexed to „the City and was recognized as a commercial use rather than a legal
non - conforming use when the 41ty zoning ordinance was extended._ It has, been
recownanded, that the plan should not recognize the existing development in an
effort to control or to discourage the spread "of strip commercial uses along Hy. 13.
Response This is a sound recommendation and perhaps the option that should have.
been'selected� when the area was zoned originally. The'comprehensive plan
recommendation my be changed from comwaarcial to either high or medium density
residential. The effect will be negligible since the site is already developed'.
However, long range recycling of the property back�to residential will not be
possible unless the plan is changed-as recommended.
Notion by Thorkel'son that the comprehensive plan should reflect this area as
medium density residential, seconded by Bissonett and upon a vote taken was duly
passed. 1

r
PLAN The major difference is that 'while the area has been zoned commercial
for several years, no development has taken place. This site. has also
been suggested as a high density residential
4
area to discourage -the spread
of strip commercial uses along Highway 13.
x
'Response Staff would favor a high density residential designation on
this site both in- terms >of limiting, strip commercial and`in providing
enough population to support existing bus ness activity already situated
`
;,in the strip. The effect would be immediate since the land could be
developed without 'being troubled by existing construction. 'A residential
PUO with on site commercial services should be encouraged as an alternative
to the present proposal.
Notion by Bissonett to change our comprehensive plan to reflect high
`
density residential for this 'property, seconded by Thorkelson and upon
a vote taken it was duly passed.
Comment 16 A request,was'made during earlier - Planning Commission
discussions that specific areas along the undeveloped frontage of the
lake of Prior Lake should be set
t
aside for commercial servi'tes oriented
to lake use.
Response The Planning "Commission and Staff following ng a lenghty dis-
cussion decided that these needs should be fiil'ed by means of the
`
Conditional Use section of the k1 and perhaps even the Ri zoning districts.
The major problem In spec; ific <sites is,
that of anticipating the Ideal
location for such a service.
'
Motion by Thorkelson to direct planning commission to proceed with
developing guidelines -under the conditional use portion of the zoning
ordinance. seconded by Watkins and upon a vote taken it was ,duly , passed.
Comment 17 Leo V•terUng` stated that he did not want his property rezoned
to Industrial and park.
'
'
Response Mayor Stock and the City Manager met with Mr. Vi on
this matter and he stated that it would be acceptable to show the industrial 'and
park In our long range plans, but he did not want it rezoned to those
` uses. The gaff feels that this would be:;acceptable -and recommends
'
the
the plan show the uses as proposed, and that the zoning
ordinance show the parcel at agricultural.

the Councii are a's follows:
' Letter 4 Requests high density land use along Trunk Highway i; In
'
Yi.11ows.- Spring Lake neighborhood.
Response The Otter implys that high density tise Is the only a
Y ppropriate
residential designation for and along major thraughfares. Obviously,
there are many neighborhoods already developed within city
•,
the which do
not follow this hypothes On the other hand, there are advantages for

'
high density use adjoining major streets as. indicated in another letter
that was received. (Letter 3) It is possible to extend the mmwl iuwt

drawn to exclude from residential use only those areas which are not considered

No action was taken by the Council, however, they felt that should be taken
