MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council FROM: Building Inspector DATE: March 1, 1984 SUBJECT: PINECREST PROPERTIES AND TRUNK HIGHWAY 10 ACCESS The owners of Pinecrest Properties have once again made a development application for their property located in Planning District 2 of the Comprehensive Plan. For those of you who were not around during the first application in 1977, I will offer a brief summary: Long Ago, 1977-1978 The owners of Pinecrest Properties applied for subdivision, rezoning and improvements. During the course of planning in 1977 and 1978 for the development of the parcels, it became apparent and most important to look at the other properties adjacent to Pinecrest Properties, all of which fall within Planning District 2 of the Comprehensive Plan. An importance was placed on an overall traffic system as well as improvements which would ultimately create the best system at full development of the district. Attached is a copy of the site plan which ended up being the foundation of the development plan. It was deemed that some type of median cut was necessary for good traffic flow. A final plat was drafted for Pinecrest Properties. The City authorized the drafting of plans and specifications for the improvements, placed the project out for bid and awarded the bid. Prior to start of the project and approval of the final plat, the City, for the first time, decided to require the developer to post a security to assure payment of assessments. An agreement was not reached and thus the project and development did not occur. City costs for the planning, engineering, staff and attorney were then established and it was agreed to by the owners to allow that amount to be assessed against the property. Proposal ended on a friendly note but unfortunately with no development. Today, 1984 Since application has been made and fees paid for deveploment request, and since a Highway 10 access is vital to good and safe develoment of not only the Pinecrest Properties, but the remainder of District 2 as well, the Planning Commission has seen fit to consider the attached Resolution No. 103-84 at their March 7, 1984 meeting. Also attached for your review are copies of letters from Short -Elliott -Hendrickson, Inc. to Don Pauley, Clerk- Administrator, and Richard Elasky of Mn/Dot, District 9. These letters are intended to lay the ground work for the City to request and receive approval of access to Highway 10 between
