Graser gave a brief summary of the land and how it has changed over the past few years. Mr. Kratochvil acquired the property in 1961 and was issued the building permit for the existing building. Scottland has since asked Mr. Kratochvil to buy about four acres adjacent to his property. At the time he built and the time he received the permit the area was zoned industrial. Mr. Kratochvil then showed the proposed changes that will happen if the rezoning goes through. The meeting was then opened to the public. Mr. Manny Russo stated that he had a petition opposing the rezoning and read the petition to the audience. The main concerns were for the safety of the children in that area, increased traffic of trucks, noise and the petition was signed by 44 people. Mr. Russo stated he felt sorry for Mr. Kratochvil but feels that the people were there before Mr. Kratochvil. John Doss from Brooksville Hills is also concerned for the safety of the children, and was led to believe all the area up to County Road 44 was zoned R -1. Mr. Doss stated that he can accept the conditional use plan as it is now but is afraid if the area is rezoned this will affect his property values. Another man stated that the traffic on County Road 44 is not the best and if changed to Franklin Trail would not be any better. He is opposed to re- novation but can live with the existing structure and business. Bud Blakeborough lives directly across from the plant and does not want to see the plant enlarged. Fred Linquist stated that it is ok right now but is against any expansion and feels that this is the only industrial in the area and does not want any more.

Councilman Watkins stated that 3 years ago when Mr. Knox came before the Commission with his townhome plans, there was going to be no lakeshore lots.

George Anderson wanted to know what exactly conservation meant. Charles Tooker explained the term as given in the City Zoning Ordinance Book. Glen Molasko wanted to know why the area could not remain the way it is without having to change it to a residential area. Harold Israelson stated that when any one person moves into an area that is not yet developed, they are foreign to that environment. Charles Tooker explained that when the Comprehensive plan was drawn it was with information from various sources. We used county information, information <' from Eagle Creek Township, also the former City of Prior Lake land use rec- ommendations were pulled together with the information at hand. Since then we have had topographic maps prepared for the community and have done a more detailed analysis of the soil quality. As part of the continuing up- dating of the comprehensive plan and developing park plan recommendations staff is considering the refinement of some of the large areas that are shown on the map. Staff is aware that with this much land already zoned residential that it would be really folly to consider the alteration -2- CITY OF PRIOR LAKE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION MINUTES OF MARCH R, 1976 'he Prio^ Lake Planning Commission meeting of March 8, 1976 was called to order at 7 :30 P.M. by Chairman Bissonett. members present were: Chairman Bissonett, Commissioners Houts, Weninger, Councilman Busse, Administrative Assistant Graser, Park Board Commissioner Williams and Park Board member C. Buckeye. The minutes of the February 19, 1976 meeting were motioned for approval by Houts, seconded by Busse and upon a vote taken were approved as published. First item on the agenda was a subdivision for Denny McWilliams. Graser gave a brief presentation on the plans for the land involved. Main points discussed were in regard to the memo attached. Motion was made by Busse to hold a public hearing for the McWilliams subdivision at 8:30 P.M. on April 1, 1976. Seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken was duly passed. Second item on the agenda was a discussion on the conditional use Permit for OuBar Marine. Before the conditional use permit is granted for another year, Houts suggested that the new owners should be advised of the conditions they are supposed to be operating under. It was decided that Houts, Bissonett and Graser will go out to DuBar Marine, inspect the premises and discuss the land use with the present owners. Motion was made by Tharkelson to adjourn, seconded by Weninger and the Planning Commission meeting adjourned at 9:35. THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY of the agriculture area on Top of the hill. Beyond that we get into the financial aspect of the area involved. Richard Simonson stated that Mr. Israelson had made promises that wouldn't necessarily have to be kept- he could come back with an entirely different set of plans after this area is rezoned. The planning commission should be concerned with a small city going up on this part of the lake. Barb Kahout is concerned because Mr. Israelson cannot give any answers to the questions being asked until the area is rezoned. Mr. Israelson explained again that the area must be rezoned before the Watershed District, or the DNR will have anything to do with it. Mr. Dean Sunde voiced his concern over whether or not there might be lake leakage due to dredging. Steve Soll wanted to know how much of the 1500 square feet of lakeshore is zoned conservation. Mr. Tooker replied all. Commissioner Klein asked what the sewer and water timing is for this area. Manager McGuire stated that Northwood Road to County koad 83 is proposed through 1978. Harold Israelson stated that he cannot foresee this area being built up quickly. He believes that it will take 10 to 15 years before it is complete. Jim Dunn wanted to know if the system we have now for sewer and water can withstand the proposed subdivisions or would we have to update our system. He also wanted it understood that the Planning Commission was only an advisory board, the council still has the final decision. Mr. Tufte wanted to know if the rezoning couldn't wait until we can see exactly where sewer and water is going to go. Charles Tooker than stated that this area is not platted yet and this agriculture land should not be rezoned. Commission Klein stated that with the population going up as it is, we should use the existing R -1 land before we start developing the land zoned conservation. ;._, Motion was made by Klein to deny the rezoning, seconded by Haferman, upon a vote taken, motion was duly passed. The public hearing was then adjourned. Next item on the agenda was Mr. Sean Dennehy asking for a 4 foot side yard variance and a 5 foot front yard variance. After some discussion, motion was made by Haferman to approve the request as applied for, the reason being that necessity comes from the ordinance, the people are not creating it. Seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed. The meeting was then recessed to open the public hearing for the continuance of the Langhorst subdivision. Mr. Langhorst's attorucy, Mr. Krass, asked to have the hearing continued at a later date due to some miscalculations on their part. Mr. Dave Grannis, representing L fi L Hardware stated he did not mind putting the hearing off, he just wanted to make sure that lot 1 would have an access, and he would like to see an additional access to Walker Avenue. Mr. Langhorst was told that the easement for the storm sewer would have to be shown on the plat before approval could be given. Motion was made by Klein to continue the Lanhgorst public hearing on December 2, 1976 at 9:30 P.M., seconded by Houts, upon a vote taken, motion duly passed. Last item on the agenda was Mr. Hugh Miller requesting a conditional use permit for 4 units on 4 acres of land. Motion by Klein to approve the request seconded by Haferman upon a vote taken, motion duly passed. -3- CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 PRIOR LAKE PLANNING COMMISSION March 4, 1476 AGENDA: Denny McWilliams Subdivision 7:30 P.M.

First item on the agenda was a zoning request for Hugh Miller. Mr. Miller is asking for a blanket H -2 zoning. Mr. Miller decided he would go with the conditional use permit. Next item on the agenda was Denny McWilliams subdivision. Graser gave a brief presentation on how Mr. McWilliams had planned to change his original plans for the subdivision. It was decided that the new plan be cancelled and the Public Hearing be changed to April 8, 1976. Motion was made by Weninger to write a letter to Mr. McWilliams stating the changes have not been complied with and the Planning Commission would like these changes made before the Public Hearing. Motion was seconded by Thorkelson and upon a vote taken, was duly passed. Next item on the agenda was the Karl Mickus building. Graser gave a brief presentation and Mr. and Mrs. Mickus discussed the possibilities of the future of the building. Motion was made by Houts that the Mickus building be removed from the property by April 1, 1977, with the provision that if the present renter should terminate his lease, the building shall remain vacant.

Mr. Ed Martini said his concern is that if this PUD doesn't go as proposed, what choice does the lady have (that owns the lot in the rear of the Pi'D) and if she yields. what choice is he going to have and eventually, who is gong to have the lake. He lives where he works and comes cut to his property on the lake to escape. He is interested in contributing his tax dollar to the community he chose to move into. He chose his neighbors and in many respects his neighbors chose him. There are not many people in his age bracket that can afford to buy a $55,000.0 townhome. He would like everyone to look at the esthetic side of this. Mr. Dean 3unde read the permitted uses of R -1 zoning and wanted to know if the development is consistent. with the comprehensive plan. He also wanted to know if one lot was missing. Mr. Sunde does not think the plan will fit in with the adjoining areas. Mary Ann Evans asked when the project will be completed. Mr. Lundquist replied that the townhomes will be built in one year and should be inhabited in about 2 to 3 years. Councilman Busse asked if the association is going to stay in the development until all units are sold. Mr. Lundquist replied yes, Scottland will stay in the association until all units are sold. Graser stated that the park dedication fee is $5,000. Mr. Brooks Hauser mentioned he has not been able to make contact with the people in the adjoining lots. Grazer stated he was concerned with the amount of blacktop in the PUD and for esthetic purposes, would like to lower the density to 18 units. Mr. Lundquist replied he is ready to listen to change. Commissioner Weninger said he wanted to make sure that retaining walls were put up where erosion is a factor. Mr. Lundquist assurred him the walls would be put up. A poll was then taken of the Planning Commission members. All members were concerned with the dockage, the traffic flow problems to adjacent areas and the County Road 21 access. A- motion was made by Weninger to continue the Public Hearing to get further definition on the possible alternate traffic routes into the development, further definition of the dockage area and the blacktop area of the development. Motion was seconded by Thorkelson, upon a vote taken was duly passed. The Public Hearing will be continued on the third Thursday in April. (April 15, 1976) The regular meeting of the Pl anning Commission was called to order at 9:45.. The minutes of March 8, 1976 were motioned for approval by Thorkelson, seconded by Houts and approved as submitted. 2 CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 PRIOR LAKE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION Minutes of November 4, 1976 The meeting of the Prior Lake Advisory Commission was opened by Chairman Thorkelson at 7:30 P.M., November 4, 1976. Members present were Commis- sioners Klein, Houts, Cavi.11, Haferman, Councilman Busse, Administrative Assistant Graser, City Planner Tooker, City Manager McGuire, Councilman Bissonett, Councilman Watkins and Mayor Stock. Motion was made by Houts to approve the minutes of October 21, 1976 as published seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken, motion was duly passed. First item on the agenda was a variance request for Richard Klugherz. Mr. Klugherz is requesting a 5 fool side yard variance from the west property line to build an attached garage 20 feet by 24 feet. Motion was made by Klein to approve the variance as applied for because it is not detrimental to the aesthetics of the neighborhood, the area was platted in 1961, and the spacious effect remains because of the 31 feet between the proposed garage and the house on the west side. Seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed. Graser then read a letter from Scottland okaying the procedure for Mr. Kratochvil to go ahead with the rezoning. Motion by Klein to hold a public hearing on December 16, 1976 at 5;45 P.M., seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed. The Planning Commission meeting was then recessed to open the public hearing for the Nelson subdivision. Graser stated that sewer, water and road im- provements are in and the applicant has met the provisions of the Prior Lake Subdivision Ordinance. Mrs. Nelson introduced herself and stated that she did not believe anyone was here to protest her subdivision plans. Motion by Houts to approve the preliminary plat as submitted, seconded by Haferman, and upon a vote taken, motion was duly passed. The public hearing was ad- journed. Next item on the agenda was a variance request for Mr. Steve Gooderun. The variance request is for 3 feet from the west and east property lines. Mr. Gooderun was asked if the garage would be attached to the house to which he replied no. Motion was made by Houts to approve the variance as applied for seconded by Haferman because of the lot being a small one, it was platted in 1921, the sightlines would not be affected, and because of the topography and configuration of the lot, also because the neighboring homes would have sufficient area to the property line. , µ ms The Planning Commission was then ioa*efted to open the public hearing for the Langhorst Subdivision. THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY March 18, 1976 The Public Hearing on Brooks on The Lake PUP, was called to order at 7:35 P.M., March 18, 1976. Mr. Cal Lundquist gave a presentation and also showed the Planning Commission and audience present a new map of the proposed marina. The meeting was opened to the public at 8:10 P.M. Mr. Percy Kasberg wanted to know what type if grading was being contem— plated for the section facing the main part of the lake. Mr. Lundquist replied that the townhomes would be built into the bank and there would be no grading of the natural terrain. Mr. Kasberg also requested that R -1, R -2 and R -3 be explained for the audience. Mr. Graser explained the different zonings. Mr. Bob Cabill asked what other variances are being asked for. Chairman Bissonett replied that there are no other variances being asked for. Mr. Cabi11 asked what the front footage was. He also asked if the Planning Commission had considered the congested traffic situation with the bridge near the area. He would like to see the bridge in perspective to the docking facilities on the map. Chairman Bissonett stated that the Scott County Sheriff must approve any docking facilities on the lake. Mr. Bob Robbs stated that he is opposed to the traffic and is also afraid the county will be taking some of his land to enlarge the road. He is also worried about more parking problems because of fire and rescue calls. He asked what the width of the roadway was. Mr. Lundquist replied it was 30 feet wide. Mr. Jim Dunn stated that if the configuration is adjusted somewhat, the docking facilities would be less hazardous than the Cellar Bar's dockage. Meredith Sunde would like to see the swimming area changed to a different location. She felt that the density was also too high. She does not want to see small cabins pushed out because of "not blending in" with the proposed townhomes. She also wanted to know if there will be any type of buffer for the back yard of lot 13. THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY 'Phe puhli, hearing for the Langhorst Subdivision was opened at 8:15 P.M. Grayer gave a description of the proposed area to he subdivided. Mrs. Langhorst then gave her presentation. Mr. Graser than stated that the Citv of Prior Lake and the planning staff is anxious to see this parcel developed. It is a valuable and needed piece of land and should be dev- eloped to the best of its potential because it has a potential of tying in the downtown area and starting the renovation process. In 1974, a study was done of the downtown business district. The study was done because there was heavy emphasis on Highway 13. At this time you can drive through the downtown district but you cannot drive within it. Mr. Graser presented a drawing of the extension of Walker .Avenue and Pleasant Street. Mr. Graser then read a letter from the State Highway Department which stated that the extension of Pleasant did appear feasible, some study would have to be done as far as drainage adjacent to Highway 13 and the frontage road would have to be city maintained. Mr. Graser stated that it would be very easy to isolate the subdivision from the rest of the Central Business District and every precaution should be taken that this does not happen. Mr. Tooker, City Planner, then stated that he wanted to support Graser's comments on the interior circulation of the downtown. The plat as shown does not take any area from the subdivision. As a platting consideration, they are concerned that each lot have access to a public access. Lots 1 and 2 would be landlocked. Mr. Vance Granni.s .Jr., representing Farwell Ozmun and Kirk and the Prior Lake Hardware Store expressed his concern over the parking arrangement for the hardware store. If the in and out is used as an access, he felt it would prevent the use of the existing parking for the hardware store in violation of the lease for the hardware store. The map (Langhorst's) is not drawn to scale and the area between the store and fence has an 8 foot sidewalk. The railroad owns 10 feet in on the parking lot. Mr. Grannis stated that he was willing to discuss and plan the entire plan and get everything approved so that we know where the streets and accesses will be located before construction starts. Commissioner Klie stated that the 30 foot driveway, if it is extended to get at lot number 2 would only leave 5100 square feet for building and parking and as he understood it there were proposed plans for a 2300 square foot building that would mean 12 to 13 stalls which is physically impossible to do in an 80 foot wide strip so it would be hard to meet the parking require- ments for lot number 1 with a driveway going across it. Commissioner Hours asked who the 30 foot driveway belonged to. It was explained that the lease included the building and adjacent parking area. There was an additional lease from the railroad of 10 feet, where the fence is, it is not on the boundary of the railroads property it is 10 foot into the railroad property. Commissioner Haferman stated that the Langhorst plan would be violating the ordinance -if they were to put their access as proposed and some day the extension of Pleasant Avenue went through -it would be violating the ordinance that states that accesses can be no closer than 500 feet to the -2- CITY OF �® PR IOR LAKE, MI 55372 Item D — 3 Karl Mickus — Decision on structure THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY .idk,ccnt access. Mayor Stock stated that he and the City Council had worked on getting a signal light on highway 13. He feels that it is very important to have a signal light at Dakota Street and Highway 13, but Main Street (Credit River Road) would have to be closed. The intent of the City Council is still to have a s''rle`et- light at Dakota Street and a frontage road along Highwa,v 13. Mayor Stock said he believed that the state had Prior Lake programmed for the summer of 77 for a signal light at Dakota Street. .After more input from Clare Manor who stated where his liquor store would be, Commissioner Kline asked if the parties involved could all get together and work out some sort of solution to the problem. Motion was made by Klein to continue the public hearing on November 18, 1976 at 9:45 P.M. seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, motion was duly passed. A. Call to Order 1. Roll Call B.

THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY The Prior Lake Planning Commission Meeting of April 1, 1976 was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by Chairman Bissonett. Members present were Chairman Bissonett, Commissioners Weninger, Busse, Houts, and City Planner Graser. The minutes of the March 18, 1976 meeting were motioned for approval by Weninger, seconded by Houts, upon a vote taken were duly passed. First item on the agenda was Mr. Charles Kadrlik asking for a variance request. Mr. Kadrlik would like to construct a garage that would require a 5' variance from the easterly property setback. After some discussion, Houts made a motion to deny the request because there is no hardship involved. Motion was seconded by Weninger and upon a vote taken, the variance was not granted. Second item on the agenda was the subdivision plot for Denny McWilliams. Mr. McWilliams presented a new map of the subdivision for preliminary approval by the Planning Commission. It was the consensus of the Plan— ning Commission that Mr. McWilliams present the Park Board recommendation and also show how the houses will sit on the lots. It was asked that the City Engineer send a memo in regard to the water drainage off of the proposed park dedication. It was also decided that Prior Lake Planning Commission members would attend a Savage Planning Commission meeting and try to set up a joint planning commission meeting between the two Commissions. Mr. Graser stated that the workshop with the Plan Commission and Charles tooker has been scheduled for April 29, 1976 at 7:30 P.M. Meeting was motioned for adjournment at 9:25, seconded by Weninger and upon a vote taken meeting was adjourned. THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 PRIOR LAKE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION Minutes of October 21, 1976 The Prior Lake Planning Advisory Commission was called to order on October 21, 1976 at 7:30 by Chairman Thorkelson. Members present were Commissioners Klein, Haferman, Houts, Councilman Busse and City Planner Graser. Motion was made by Houts to approve the minutes of October 7, 1976 as published seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken, motion was duly passed. First item on the agenda was Don Williams subdivision. Mr. Graser gave a brief explanation on the proposed subdivision. The purpose of the subdivision is to plat three buildable lots and to plat the remaining property in the form on an outlet and extend lakeshore rights to the homes in Boudins Manor. Motion was made by Houts to hold a public hearing on December 16, 1976 at 8:00 P.M. seconded by Haferman with the contingency that Mr. '4illiams obtain a copy of the court decision pertaining to this land and a copy of the letter directing Mr. Williams to proceed with this subdivision with Mr. Boudin's permission (to be submitted to Mr. Graser) upon a vote taken, motion was duly passed. Second item on the agenda was Mr. Dick Kratochvil asking for a public hearing to rezone the land that his Redi -Mix Plant is situated on. Mr. Graser gave a brief description of the land stating the building permit for the Redi -Mix Plant had been taken out on April 3, 1961. In 1963, the first zoning ordinances and subdivision ordinances were adopted by Prior Lake and at that time the land was zoned I -1, light industrial. At this time, Mr. Kratochvil should have taken out a conditional use permit. In 1973, Prior Lake adopted a zoning map and zoning ordinance that changed the area to C -1. A public hearing was held which made the Redi -Mix Plant a non - conforming use. In 1975, the zoning ordinance was revised and amended and the use was changed to R -1 because of the building of Brooksville Hills. Mr. Kratochvil is proposing to construct new buildings and modernize the existing one. He is planning on buying 4 acres behind the existing plant and would like to get the whole area rezoned to industrial. Mr. Kratochvil was asked to obtain a letter from Scottland stating that he may act in Scottland's behalf for the rezoning request. Next item on the agenda was Mr. Bernie Mahowald asking for a variance to construct a garage on the east side of his home requiring a 5 variance. The attached garage would leave 4 on the east to the neighboring property line. Motion was made by Houts to grant Mr. Mahowald a 5' variance.to'the east with the overhang not to exceed 2 feet because of the existing size of the lot, the area is in an older portion of town, the area is zoned R -2, it is close to the downtown area, and it would not be detrimental to the existing and adjacent structures or to the general health and welfare of the community. Seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken, motion was duly passed. THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372 PRIOR. LAKE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMISSION April 1, 1976 A.

Mr. and Mrs. Klingberg are proposing to subdivide lot 14 of Jo -Anna Stepka's Hi -View Addition. The subject parcel is approximately .6 acres and has a basement dwelling on lot 2 of the proposed subdivision. At the present time lot 18 is unbuildable because of topography, but the lot is now being filled. This subdivision is in a sewered and watered area with existing paved roads. Since it has been the policy by the commission to waive much of the infor- mation and details required of the subdivider in divisions such as this, staff requests a public hearing be scheduled for Mr. Klingberg. Motion was made by Klein to hold a public hearing on December 2, 1976 at 9:15 P.M. seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed. otion was made by Thorkelson to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken the meeting closed at 9:00 P.M. Chairman Bissonett explained that the Park Board had gone over this and they have made recommendations to Denny McWilliams. This is something that has to be negotiated between the City Council and Denny, and as far as the Planning Commission is concerned, the only stipulation the Planning Commission mades is that the Par:. Board and City Council requirements be met on the Park issue. Councilman Busse asked if the Park dedication included Outlet A. Chairman Bissonett answered yes, it was included. Mr. Jobst asked if there would be a corporation that would own the public spaces in the development. Mr. McWilliams said that it could be either private or public —they were not sure yet. Mr. Jobst wanted to know if the shares to the common spaces would be one per lot and would the share go with the lot. Mr. McWilliams said that they will have a joint owr.ership with corporate shares. There will be as many shares as back lots. Mr. Charles Tooker said the Park Board actually rejected the open space dedication as proposed. The original recommendation was that an open space that would go all the way down to the lake from 83 would be acceptable on a percentage basis. A 50% credit was also discussed. Mr. Tooker stated he did not like the division of the parks on two sides of the road. Even though it would be minor activity, with few vehicles using the road, there will be children using the same area. The engineer had mentioned the possibility of adding a turning radius which was added within the subdivision itself and raised the question of whether we should have the same kind of flexibility on 83 and 21. Commissioner Houts raised the question of the 904 mark. He also asked if the people on the lake will own the land all the way down to the shoreline. If not, then there would not be 13.3 feet per lot. It was decided that this point should be brought up at the Planning Commission workshop. (Clarify ordinance on useable 3akeshore irregardless of what it is going to be used for.) Tom Watkins stated that until the Watershed Board comes up with something definitive, the water mark is going to have to stay at 904. Mr. McWilliams stated he has not heard from the Watershed Board as of yet. Motion was made by Weninger to approve the subdivision as presented subject to approval of the Park Board for the Park dedication, subject to approval of the City Engineer, subject to maintenance of access to the private park area. An amendment to the motion was made by Chairman Bissonett stating that the Planning Commission encourages the City Council and Park Board to accept some form of dedication of this property as public space. Mr. Weninger accepted the amendment as proposed, seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, motion was duly passed. Motion was made by Houts to adjourn, seconded by Weninger and upon a vote taken, the public- hearing was adjourned at 9:30 P.M.

Chairman Bissonett read the notice as published in the Prior Lake American March 24 and April 6. Mr. McWilliams than gave his presentation on his subdivision. The meeting was then opened to the public. Mr. Bob Cabill asked what the square footage of the lakeshore lots were. Mr. McWilliams replied 20,000, 17200, 17168, 15500, 15013, 15112, 15112, 15890 and 17800. He also stated the zoning standard is 10000. Mr. Bob Cabill asked if Mr. McWilliams planned on putting the roads in and then sell the lots individually. Mr. McWilliams replied that they would be selling individually and in groups. Walt Jobst asked if the Park area stretched out into Crystal Bay. He also asked how much lakeshore footage was owned in common and how many homes had lakeshore. Mr. McWilliams replied that there is 650 feet of lakeshore and 49 homes and that worked out to 13.3 feet per home. Walt Jobst asked if there would be dockage and how many slips were being planned for. Mr. McWilliams stated that there would be less than 49 slips. Mr. Jobst also wanted to know about the east side of the entrance into the plat, how far the road is away from the corners where 21 curves. Was there a visibility problem from the curve so people making a left hand turn don't get caught by traffic coming from the other direction. Mr. McWilliams answered that the Scott County Engineer had looked at and approved the plans for the roadways for this subdivision. Mr. Dean Sunde asked about the proposed ball park that was turned down by the Park Board.

Next item on the agenda was a variance request for Mr. Gary Lindstrom. Mr. Lindstrom is asking for a 43 foot lakeshore variance and a 5 foot fromt yard variance. Motion was made by Houts to approve the variance for the following reasons: taking into consideration the size of the lot and the surrounding area, the proposed dwelling would not be detri- mental to the adjacent property, that the house to the east is in proportion to the proposed house, the sight lines would be adhered with and the lot is of record for 1946, consideration should be given as it is a small lot, seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken, motion carried. Last item on the agenda was Mr. Rasmussen Variance. Mr. Rasmussen is requesting a 4.5 foot side yard variance. Mr. Rasmussen stated that he would like the home situated this way because of aesthetic reasons, ther is a large hill directly in front of the proposed home and if the home is placed any other way trees will have to be cut down. Most of the homes in this area are built in the same way. Motion was made by Klein to change the variance request from 5.5 feet on the north side to 1.5 feet and 3 feet on the south side. The reasons for approval of this variance are the contours of property indicate south side of property practically unbuildable, garages are side to side, the existing garage is slanted away from the proposed house and garage. Seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, motion was duly passed. City Planner Graser brought up the question of boathouses - should they be allowed on the lake. He had had a citizen come in and ask what the City's position was on this matter. The concensus of the Planning Commission was that the setback for any buildings on the lakeshore would be a minimum of 7S feet from the 904 high elevation mark. Graser also stated that the developers of Mitchel Pond had not complied with the proposed time table for their subdivision and therefore are requesting a public hearing at a later date.

The three major questions to be discussed were: access from county road 21, configuration and layout of the black — topped area within the PUD, and the marina layout. Mr. Cal Lundquist went over the three major issues and described how the docking facilities had changed from all docks in the bay area to docks on both sides of the peninsula with swimming on each side. The boat landing will be in the north corner of the bay. The access from County Road 21 has been changed so you come in at a right angle which gives better vision up and down the road. The blacktopped area within the PUD has been changed so that all townhomes have a "front yard" facing the lake, increasing the landscaped area around the lake. Mr. Dean Sunde stated he goes along with all the revisions but is still concerned with the density of the area because it is zoned R -1. Commissioner Thorkelson asked if there would be a traffic problem with the first unit, driving into the PUD. f.- Mr. Lundquist stated this probeem would be worked out by possibly making the units wider and not quite as long. Mr. Lundquist also stated that he had discussed the docking facilities with the County Water Patrol and was told there is no problem in the present plan. A poll was then taken of the Planning Commission members. All members felt they had sufficient information to make a decision one way or another. Commissioner Houts made a motion to recommend approval of the outline development drwoings as submitted, seconded by Weninger and upon a vote taken, was duly passed.

Members present were: Commissioners Klein, Houts, Councilman Busse, Administrative Assistant Graser and City Manager McGuire. The minutes of the September 2, 1976 Planning Advisory Commission were motioned for approval by Houts, seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken were approved as published. Houts motioned to recess the planning meeting and open the public hearing seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed. The first item on the agenda was Mr. Ford Thompson's public hearing for a subdivision. The public hearing notice, as published in the paper was read. Graser gave a brief introduction of the parcel involved, stating that the area is in a sewered area, and adjacent to a blacktopped road. The topography places no constraints on the subdivision. Motion was made by Klein to approve the preliminary plan for the subdivision, seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken was duly passed.

Second item on the agenda was Mr. Francis Krahl requesting a variance to construct a garage in the front yard of Lot 1, Maplewood. After hearing a description of the parcel involved, Houts made a motion to approve the variance for the following reasons; there is an existing garage next door with a 15' setback, the topography just south of the subject parcel is such t: a road would not be economically feasible, this is one of the smallest plotte lots on the lake. Variance was approved with a 15 foot front setback and a, 3.2 foot side yard setback with a 3.8 foot side yard setback from the east pr line, seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed. There was some discussion on the five foot side yard setbacks. The Council asked the Planning Commission to consider amending the zoning ordinance. Graser stated that five foot side yard variances in a garage to garage situation are very common in some cities. People should realize a lot's potential and constraints when purchasing it. Most variance requests are by homeowners of homes that have been built in the last six years and are not owned by the original owners. Circumstances should make a difference in the denial or approval of variances. Consistancy is most important in the varian< process. A policy should be considered at the next workshop meeting.

THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY Next item on the agenda was a subdivision for Mr. Ford Thompson. After some discussion, staff stated that a certified lot plan must be obtained certifying 80 foot lots. The road, sewer, and water problems must be worked out prior to the public hearing. Mr. Thompson was asked to resolve questions with city staff. A petition in reference to the Harbor PUD was brought to the attention of the Planning Commission concerning the number of lots facing Rutgers S`.reet. Mr. Jack Buxell gave a brief presentation of why the five lots were planned instead of four. The discussion was then continued until after the public hearings. p The Planning Commission meeting was then ad-jvarned and the public hearing for Lou Sullivan vas called to order at 8:30 P.M. The public notice was read as published in the Prior Lake American. Mr. Graser explained the area adjacent to Lou Sullivan's property, describing the different zones involved. Mr Frank Muelken, representing Mr. Sullivan, stated that a grocery store was going to go in close to Highway 13 but there would be plans for future expansion of other stores. Mr. Sullivan's plan would benefit the business area, Mr. Muelken stated. Mr. Sullivan presented a drawing of the proposed shopping center and stated that feedback from the neighboring residents had been favorable to the plan of the grocery store. The meeting was then opened to the public. Mr. Pete Patchin stated that he represented the homeowners east of the proposed rezoning and they are all opposed to the rezoning because of the R -1 district abutting a B-2 zone. Mr. Patchin felt that it was unnecessary to put the store in the proposed parcel when there is adequate B-2 zoned land left. Mr. Carter Christie, representing the school board read a letter of opposition to the rezoning. The school board feels that the traffic would be detrimental to the safety and well being of the children. Mr. Bill Schmokel stated that he owned the property south of the subject parcel and that he was in favor of the rezoning. He stated that Franklin Trail is one of the wides streets in Prior Lake and would be able to handle the traffic with no problem. Mr. Schmokel did not feel a "leapfrogging effect would be a problem since topography prevents this. He also felt that the school board should have more control over the children than to have to worry about them in a grocery store during school hours. Mr. Jim Ewald wanted to know if the children were bussed to school or if they walked. He was told that about 99% of the kids were bussed. Mr. Ewald then stated he could see no reason why the kids would be loitering around the store when they took the bus right up to the school door. Mr. Bill Bissonett asked if Mr. Sullivan had considered a B -1 zoning under conditional use. Mr. Sullivan replied no, he had not. Councilman Watkins stated the rezoning would be spot zoning therefore deteriorating the transitional zoning. -2- Mr. Mue]ken stated he thought the arguments for rezoning outweighed those against. The meeting was then turned over to the Planning Commission members. Commissioner Klein expressed concern over the children with the amount of traffic this rezoning would create. Commissioner Houts stated that a year ago an extensive study for the comprehensive plan was made and at that time it was decided to try and keep all commercial and business east of Franklin Trail. Chairman Thorkelson felt that B-2 zoning is not appropriate at this stage. Motion was made by Klein to deny the request for the rezoning, seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken motion was duly passed. Motion was made by Weninger to close the public hearing seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken the public hearing was closed at 9:15 P.M. The public hearing for Wally Langhorst rezoning was called to order at 9:15 P.M. The different zoning classifications were explained to Mrs. Langhorst by Mr. Grazer. Mr. Grazer gave a presentation of the proposed rezoning parcel. The staff recommendation was that the requested rezoning should be denied until such a time a development plan is submitted and approved by staff. Mrs. Langhorst stated that she thought the area should be rezoned first and then figure out where the shops will go. Mrs. Langhorst was also willing to go along with just the rezoning of that portion north of the proposed extension of Pleasant Street with the southerly area remaining in C -1. The meeting was then turned over to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Houts recommended that the matter be tabled until a time when Mr. and Mrs. Langhorst can get together with Mr. Graser. Mayor Stock brought up the point that this area all has to be subdivided before any parcel can be sold. Mrs. Langhorst stated that a parcel already had been sold. Mayor Stock stated that Mrs. Langhorst should check with an attorney because the parcel that has been sold must be subdivided. Motion was made by Houts to continue the public hearing until August 19, 1976 at 9 :00 P.M., seconded by Klein and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed. Motion was made by Klein to close the public hearing, seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, the public hearing was adjourned at 10 :10 P.M. The Planning Commission meeting was then opened for discussion. The Harbor Resort area discussion was continued. Mr. Jack Buxell summarized his statements. 1. The buildability of the lots. 2. The issue of lots as a wall or barrier to the community. 3. The property value decrease. 4. They are not asking for variances or special consideration. Mr. Don Williams stated that he moved to this area to get away from small lots. He felt that the parcel should be subdivided in the same manner as the rest of the neighborhood. Mr. Dave Beckman stated that he would like to see less lots and agrees completely with everything Don Williams says. A woman from the Boudins Manor area stated that she thought the problem was very self evident. Motion was made by Commissioner ftto reduce the lots along Rutgers to four seconded by Houts and upon a vote taken, motion duly passed. Commissioners Houts, Klein, Weninger voted for, Chairman Thorkelson voted against.

Mr. Miller was directed to the City Planner for further information. text item was Mr. Fverett garrison requesting an 8' side yard variance. The subject was brought to the attention of staff after the project had been started. Due to a misinterpretation when the building permit was issued, the scuaring off of the building was desired and a variance was needed. Motion made Thorkelson to approve the variance, seconded by Weninger and upon a vote taken the variance was granted based on the fact that it is an extension of an existing building. A discussion on overhangs followed. The questions were raised; what is to be considered a normal overhang and where should the measurement be taken from. Chairman Bissonett suggested that any overhang over 2 feet have the foundation moved accordingly. Motion was made by Thorkelson not to include overhangs in computing set- backs. Motion seconded by Weninger, and upon a vote taken, motion was duly passed. Motion was made by Thorkelson to adjourn, seconded by Weninger, and upon a vote taken, meeting was adjourned at 10:55 P.M.

Members nresent were Commissioners Weninger, Thorkelson, Council- man Busse, and Administrative Assistant Graser. The minutes of the June 17, 1976 meeting were corrected to read; Page 1, paragraph 3 should read "Mr. Olson would like to rezone a 5 acre piece of land from R -1 to B -2." Paragraph 4 should list the reason for the variance which was uniqueness of the lot and this was the best possible solution to continue the existing wall. Paragraph 6, 5th sentence, instead of "to this property" should read "to Brauer and Associates." Same sentence should state July 1, 1981. Last paragraph on page 1, 3rd sentence should be suggest ed, not decided. Motion was made by Bissonett to approve the minutes as amended, seconded by Weninger and upon a vote taken was duly nassed.

Dr. Olson explained that he is proposing to change the zoning to B -1 in order to have an addition put on his building. The building was purchased under the assumption that this was coma rcial land. The meeting was then opened to the public. Mr. Pete Patchin was concerned about B-1 and R -1 zonings abutting one another. Mr. Cy Kruse read a letter of opposition to the rezoning from the school board. The letter stated that the school board felt that schools should be located in residential neighborhoods, and also had voted that they would like to see the rezoning denied. The meeting was then turned over to the Planning Commission members. Chairman Bissonett stated that he would deny the application for rezoning because he felt that to move a B-2 zoning into an R -1 area there is a loss of control aver this type of transitional property. Commissioner Houts stated that he would like to keep the boundaries stable.

The development would have some control over the building of the homes. Shirley Johnson wanted o know if the 10' gas easement was recognized. Mr. John Trulson wanted to know how close the townhomes are to the property lines near the lake. Also if there were any townhome setbacks. Mr. Engstrom explained where the townhomes are in comparison to the existing structures and stated that there are no townhome setbacks. Mr. Francis Belisle is in support of the PUD because of the boat traffic on the lake at the present time. He feels that this will decrease the amount of boat traffic. Mr. James Mason asked how many boat slips there would be. Mr. Engstrom explained 60 slips, plus a visitors dock which is actually more of a sitting dock. Mr. John Trulson voiced his concern with they acres situated on Conroy Bay Road. He wanted to know what is to be done with the additional land.
