OPEN MIKE: No one was present to speak at Open Mike. IV. ACTION ITEMS: 92 -44 -P, Preliminary Plat, Woods of Baldwin Lake, C. Rehbein Chairman Schaps opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Brixius explained that this is a request to plat 16 lots on a 10.16 acre parcel of property zoned R -1X. The site is just south of Baldwin Lake and north of Woodridge Estates. Utilities are available to serve the property and with some minor modifications the plat meets the requirements of the Ordinance. Staff would recommend that the easterly Lot 1 be dedicated for Park purposes as they have been unsuccessful in securing park property elsewhere in this vicinity. Mr. Jeff Knutson was present representing the applicant, Clyde Rehbein. Several property owners were present to voice their concerns. Mr. Dave Jenkins of White Pine Road stated that he objected to any home being built on Lot 1 and was in favor of the lot becoming a neighborhood park. He added that Lots 3, 4, and 5 contain very old mature oak trees and that he would not be in favor of any of these trees being removed. Mary Johnson of White Pine Road stated that she was representing 60 residents who had signed a petition calling for a park in this area. She indicated that they felt the • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 2 Jan. 13, 1993 park on Lot 1 was a good plan. She also expressed concern about the elevation of the land on Lots 3, 4, and 5 and would not like to see any clear cutting of the trees. A resident asked if staff was aware of the current wetland rules and regulations. C. Gromek of 145 Woodridge was not in favor of any buildings on Lot 1 and agreed that a park for this site was a good idea. Dale Edlund of 139 Woodridge asked what kind of park this would be and if there would be any trails in the area. Robert Hanson of 6325 Baldwin expressed concern about the road cutting through a wetland. Neil Anderson, 132 Woodridge, asked if Oakwood Street would be constructed. Paul Connoy asked if consideration had been given to providing a park to the south /west of this plat. Judy Coccia advised the staff and P & Z that the last building site in this area on White Pine Road was clear cut prior to construction. She felt the tree preservation program was not very effective in this case and would hope that better care is taken in the future. In response to the above questions, the audience was advised by Al Brixius that the City does have a tree preservation program that would help preserve the mature trees. A site drainage and grading plan will need to be provided and approved by staff to insure proper grading - this plan would address the slope off White Pine Road, the wetland, ponding areas, etc. Mr. Schneider advised the audience that staff is aware of the wetland rules and regulations which will have to be adhered to in relation to the plat and that permits will be required from other agencies having jurisdiction in this area including the Rice Creek Watershed District and the DNR /Corp of Engineers. All these items will be addressed prior to final plat approval. The wetland rules and regulations do provide for the construction of streets however and some mitigation may be allowed. The design of the park is in the hands of the City's Park Board but will most likely be a low impact, mini park as described by Ms. Johnson. Mr. Schneider explained that Oakwood Street is planned for construction as it was when Woodridge Estates was platted. Mr. Jeff Knuston stated that they would hope to begin construction in the spring but much work needs to be • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 3 Jan. 13, 1993 • • accomplished before then - this is merely the preliminary plat. Diane Jensen of Oakwood Lane stated that the neighborhood is interested in working with the Park Board and very interested in obtaining a neighborhood park in this vicinity. The audience was advised that this matter must be sent to the Park Board for their review on February 1, 1993, and will then be forwarded to the City Council on February 8th. After some discussion Tom Mesich made a MOTION recommending approval of the preliminary plat with the conditions outlined in the Planners Report 1 -5 and Condition 6 recommending that the City Forester insure tree preservation in this plat and Condition 7 that the developer obtain necessary permits from the Rice Creek Watershed District and the DNR /Corp. of Engineers. Mr. Gelbmann seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried. Chairman Schaps encouraged the neighborhood group to continue working with the Park Board and asked that the neighborhood be advised, through the park development group, of plans for developing the park. 92 -52 -CUP, Rehbein Transit, 6298 Hodgson Road Mary Kay Wyland reviewed this request which is to allow the stock piling of dirt on General Business & Residential property at 6298 Hodgson Road. The property owner would like to stock pile this dirt for approximately three (3) years. The dirt came from the Co. Rd. J. project, is clean fill (most of it is peat) and will be sold over the next few years. There will be no pulverizing of the dirt. Staff has recommended approval with the conditions outlined in the staff report. Mr. Mesich asked why the dirt was already on the site and Mr. Rehbein explained that he had not realized he needed a permit since his property is zoned general business. In response to a question from Mr. Landers, he explained that no more dirt will be coming in, they may be hauling out on Saturdays, but not on Sundays. John Grundhoefer of Linda Avenue was present and was concern if additional dirt were to be brought in. Mr. Rehbein explained that he will not be bringing in any more. Mr. Robinson then made a MOTION recommending approval of the Conditional Use Permit with the following conditions: 1. A grading plan shall be submitted indicating how the • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 4 Jan. 13, 1993 • • applicant intends to maintain stable slopes that will not erode from wind and water. This plan shall also show plantings with rye grass or similar material to protect the surface. A final planting plan shall be included that shows how the site will be restored when stock piles are depleted. 2. The fill shall be allowed to remain on site until January of 1997 at which time the permit shall become null and void unless an extension of time has be requested by the applicant. 3. Other erosion controls may be imposed if upon spring inspection of the site a determination is made that they are necessary. 4. Proper permits must be obtained from the MnDOT. 5. No additional fill will be allowed on the site. Mr. Landers seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried. 92- 53 -ACUP, NSP, Old Birch Street by Radio Tower(s) Mary Kay Wyland reviewed this request which is to construct a 16 x 16 communication building, LP tank, and generator on the property currently containing the 500' radio tower. An amended conditional use permit is required as there is an existing permit on the site. Staff would recommend approval with the conditions outlined in the staff report. Three representatives were present from NSP including Ron Obermueller, Dave Schwartz, and Mike Marzatell. They explained that the proposed building is approximately 300' from Birch Street and is one of eight sites being used for 2- way radio communication. The 6' fence surrounding the site is planned to be topped with three strands of barbed wire. Mr. Brixius explained that barbed wire is not a permitted use in a residential district. In regard to the exterior of the building - Mr. Obermueller stated that they could use a brick fascia for aesthetics if necessary. Mr. Gelbmann made a MOTION recommending approval of the request with the following conditions: 1. Proper building permits be obtained prior to construction. 2. Exterior be brick. • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 5 Jan. 13, 1993 3. Conditions and /or restrictions of original permit issued in 1973 be adhered to in addition to those outlined here. 4.

Motion carried. 92 -54 -P, Glen Rehbein, 7317 & 7319 Lake Drive, Subdivision Mary Kay Wyland reviewed this request which is to split a one acre parcel from the remaining 4.81 acre parcel. The property is zoned Light Industrial and the smaller parcel is intended to be sold to D and E Sales, the current occupant. Staff would recommend approval of the request with the conditions outlined in the staff report. There was some discussion by the Planning & Zoning Board concerning condition No. 3 stating that the property owner would waive any rights to petition against the extension of utilities. Mr. Schneider explained that this was standard procedure when unserved property is subdivided and necessary due to the limitations of the City Charter. The P and Z wanted to know if the future property owner agreed with this condition. After some discussion Mary Kay was asked to contact B and E Sales, explain the condition, and obtain their response. Mr. Landers made a MOTION recommending approval of the subdivision with the following conditions: 1. Parcel A contain a minimum of 1 acre in size and 150' of lot frontage on Lake Drive. 2. Additional right of way as required by MNDOT be dedicated. 3. Property owner(s) and subsequent property owners sign a petition waiving their right to petition against the extension of utilities to serve these properties. (if the property owner objects to this requirement the P & Z would table the request until their February 10th meeting - if the property owners have no objections to this requirement then it will be forwarded to the City Council) Mr. Mesich seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried. NOTE: Mary Kay Wyland contacted the potential property owners following the meeting and they indicated that • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD 6 Jan. 13, 1993 • • they did not object to Condition No. 3.
