PRESENT: Davis, Schumann, Olson, Peltier, Administrator Museus
Carole LaBelle
ABSENT: Agness, Rubenzer, Oswald
Motion made by Schumann, seconded by Olson to approve the minutes of
September 22, 1993 as amended.
All aye, motion passed.
Chairman Peltier inquired as to the attendance of Commissioner Oswald.
Checking the records indicated that Mr. Oswald has not attended a meeting
since June.
Dan Dolan Development, Inc. and Jeffrey Barbour, 13670 Isleton Ave., have
applied to the City to rezone 115 acres from Agriculture to RR2 (5 acre
minimum), create a Planned Unit Development of 22 single family homesites,
and are requesting a variance to install a cul-de-sac exceeding the
allowable length for the City. The lots vary in size from 3.28 acres to
5.60 acres. The property is located south of 8A and west of Isleton Ave.
The current plan has only one roadway accessing Isleton Ave. to the
development, with two cul-de-sacs throughout. It is recommended that the
roadway to the west include a temporary turnaround. The kennel currently
operating on site would be discontinued and the kennel building would be
removed. Mr. Dolan has completed two very successful and attractive
developments in the Twin Cities, Evergreen in Woodbury and Wexford in
Eagan.
Several residents (Bob Irlbeck, David Quade, Sandy Malaski, Ed Salkowitz)
opposed the rezoning of the property to 5 acre lots. They expressed their
concern regarding drainage, water contamination and preserving the rural
character of the area.
Mr. Dolan stated the purpose for the planned unit development was
specifically to preserve the wetlands on site. He informed the audience
that the developer would reserve the right to restrict any residential
construction if it does not complement the development.
After a lengthy discussion, Schumann made a motion to recommend approval
of the request of Dan Dolan/Jeff Barbour to rezone 115 acres from
Agriculture to RR2 (Parcels 93026-2725, 2700, 2650, 2550).
AYE: Davis, Schumann
NAY: Olson, Peltier
This request will be forwarded to the City Council without a
recommendation.
