DAYTON HUDSON: Mr. Peter Hutchinson and Joel Solomon, representing
Dayton -Hudson, presented a concept use for their 940 acres on
Highway 12. They do not propose to develop the property; but
would like a concept. to present to potential buyers.
They outlined a plan utilizing 250 acres with 8 units per acre.
This would provide approximately 1776 units of high density cluster
development'. Mr. Solomon said they prefer to sell the entire
parcel to one buyer.and-want some guidelines on what the City
thinks is possible.
The Commission discussed use of the land under current zoning,,
RR, provides for cluster development and presently allows 173
units using the 7 per 40 provision for the 970 acres. The Com-
mission did not favor the proposed density. Additional concerns
with this proposal were sewer, fire and police protection
The Commission did riot feel anything had changed since the
Comp Plan was adopted with respect to the City's philosopy
on growth, sewer, and City services. The Commission
is not willing to speculate on any use, other than what
the ordinance provides.
