ENCHANTED GARDENS - Lot 1, Block 1 - Paul Albitz presenter Mr. Albitz presented his 2 layouts; the original proposal being to divide Lot 1, Block 1 into 3 lots; using an outlot as access. This is his first choice; second choice is a 2 lot divi- sion. At the previous meeting, December 8th, there was some question as to the square footage of this lot. Mr. Albitz stat- ed that on the afternoon of January 12th, he had met with the surveyor and engineers, Hanson & Norton, in an attempt to reach an agreement on the total square footage. The engineers pointed out that it is difficult to pinpoint it down where there is so much water on the perimeter. They finally agreed on a figure of 80,000 square feet. Watten moved that we recommend to the Council a 2 lot divi- sion; only after verification of the size of that particular piece at the 80,000 square feet or better. Seconded by Miller. Motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS: I. PUBLIC HEARING - Oak Rige Estates - 2nd Addition Subdivide into four lots Ted Noble - Presenter Mr. Noble planned 20 lots but the intention right now is to sell 4 lots because he doesnt know how soon he is going to sell them and how it would change the tax structure. Watten asked that he please answer item #4 of the Planners Letter of December 7th. It would be a CUl-de-sac at this time but in the future be extended to serve the property to the West. Comment to item #8 -(Engineers letter of January 12th) Our proposal is to take the water across the back of lots and run an easement rather than take them over along the road; the road extended to the culvert. .

If we are taking heat off the Council, we should be used for that purpose. Your meetings should only be discussion between yourselves. Too much time spent taking thin~sbefore the Council that has already been done.

OAK RIDGE ESTATES - 2nd ADDITION - Subdivision 4 Lots - Ted Noble A Public Hearing was held January.12th and further discussion took place at the January 26th meeting. In review, Cole asked for any further comments. Planner Honsey stated that h~s letter of January 6th had strongly urged that the whole area be platted but after looking over the situation from a Planning standpoint feels that the 4 lots should be platted at this time. He stated that his views will be supported in written form. Reese and Watten pointed out the following concerns: 1. Large variances required on 2 of the lots 2. How will the rest of the land be developed? 3. Length of Cul-de-sacs and connecting roads for City service conveniences. 4. Neighbors concern of the run-off. Reese moved, seconded by Watten, that we recommend to the Council to approve the sub-division plat as shown; except to further recom- mend that all lots be 40,000 square feet; that the extensions of the future road right-of-ways be eliminated beyond the four lots to be platted; to include the Engineers report and the Planners comments made at this meeting, which will be put in writing and submitted. Stover ammended to read: that in the future, when presented for the additional platting, that the whole area would have to be platted and a new plat be presented to consider the run-off concern. . ST. ALBANS BAY ESTATES -,__Lot 71 & 72 - Subdivision of 6 lots Jay Carpenter, representing Redfield Homes, 'was present wi th the proposal of the subidiviSion of 6 lots and a double bungalow on Lot 6 which would require rezoning. Reese commented that the use of the land fronting Hwy 7 was not a bad use but the rezoning of I lot is a big problem under spot zoning. Discussion followed. Watten moved, seconded by Reese, that the total development not deviate from the R-I zoning; that all lots be the proper size for R-I and that this recommendation be presented to the Council. Motion carried unanimously. . . . Page 2 SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - 2/9/78 BUFFER RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL ZONING ORDINANCE The planner presented the amended ordinance proposal of November 8th. The matter was given further discussion relative to re-naming this ordinance to "Transitional Commercial Zoning Ordinance." Reese pointed out that the word residential does not cover residential use and that density commercial use does not necessarily have to be a buffer. Reese moved to recommend to the Council to accept the revision of the November draft of the Residential-Commercial District to change pages 1 & 2 to read R-3 from an R-5 and to add Section 11, General Provisions referring to Buffering, Screening and Landscaping. Seconded by Stover; motion carried unanimously. VARIABLE FEE SCHEDULE Putting the burden where it should be; for developers who do not do their homework, and residents who use city services for information. Cole stated that we do not penalize our residents, who pay taxes, by charging more for services - this is unneighborly. Stover moved that the variable fee schedule proposed by the Council not be adopted. Seconded by Reese, motion carried unanimously. NURSERY PROPERTY ~ HIGHWAY 19 - Gary Minion Chairman Cole publicly closed the Public Hearing on this issue and suggested it be referred to Council level. Watten moved, seconded by Reese, that subject to the approval of the R-C zoning, we recommend that the request of Gary Minion for a Con- ditional Use Permit to operate a Nursery and Garden Retail Store at 23505 Smithtown Road be approved. Motion carried unanimously. NE W BUS I NE S S : INFORMAL HEARING - PROPOSED HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY - Messr. Wong and Volk - THONANDER PROPERTY - Lot 163 Aud Sub 135.

Topography shows wome wetlands and a 50' overburden to be removed to conform to the general terrain of the area. Appropriate application has been ten- tat~vely submitted to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. Michals stated, "This is a major project which will change the aesthetics of the City of Shorewood and comments from the Planning Commission and Council would be appreciated at this time.

Kelly - January 17, 1978 Engineer Norton - January 20, 1978 PROPOSED RETIREMENT/HOUSING COMPLEX - AMERICAN CARE FACILITIES INC.

The application was to be made for a PURD retirement residence of 80 - 100 units and residential duplexes of 14 units. Reese stated that this is over 10 acres so it is eligible for a PURD ZONING. It was suggested that drawing of the units be submitted and brought to ~he next meeting for review of the Planning Commission. Staff can then be consulted for a Public HEaring. DECISIONS TO PUBLIC HEARINGS , The question as to when a decision be made after a public hearing was up for discussion. Chairman Cole had discussed this issue with Council members and Watten referred to REsolution 59-76 which he prefers to use as the policy of the Planning Commission. It was decided at this time to leave the rule as adopted by the City Council at their meeting of August 1976; resolution 59-76. PARK COMMISSION REPRESENTATIVES Jim Robins and Gordon Lindstrom were present to iron out some of their problems. The Park Commission would like to have some kind of contact with the Planning Commission; particularly in develop- ments relating to Parks, Buildings and Recreation.

P UBL IC HEAR ING - GARY MI NIO N After the Councils adoption of the new R/C district ordinance, the Planning Commission, chaired by Jane Cole, opened a public hearing pursuant to public notice on the request from Gary Minion to include his property as described in the application in the R/C district and to approve conditional use permit to operate a nursery and garden supply center on the property. It was noted by the Planning Commission that a similar use request had been made by Minion and a public hearing had been held in Aug- ust of 1977. The request was made to rezone the property ~tom R-4 to C-2, permitting nurseries. Planning Commission had approved the use permit but had denied the rezoning until a conditional type of commercial zone, that would buffer the residential area, could be adopted. No further public input was received so the hearing was closed. Frank Reese moved, seconded by Miller, to recommend to the Council that the subject property; 23505 Smithtown Road, as described in the notice, be included in the Residential/Commercial Zone and that a conditional use permit be granted to Gary Minion to operate a nursery/garden supply center in accordance with conditions to be approved by the Council.

RICHARD CONRY - PROPOSAL PLAT 34332, Parcel 5200 - STRAWBERRY GARDENS Review: Originally on April 13, 1978, Richard Conry,representing Minne- tonka Homes came before the Planning Commission with a proposal of 12 lots for Plat 34332, Parcel 5200, consisting of approximately 13 acres of land with a cul-de-sac; all of the lots 40,000 square feet or more, locat- ed between Strawberry Lane and Cathcart Drive-referred to as STRAWBERRY GARDE NS . Council had enacted a policy wherein "new proposed residential subdi- visions, upon which 10 or more living units could be legally constructed, should be served with a Community Water System." After a study of the cost of such a Central Water System, the developer then came to City Hall and stated that economically it was not feasible for any developer to put in a water system of this kind for less than 23 lots and realize a profit, and that it WQtlld be necessary for them to come before the Planning Commission with an alternate proposal. On June 8th, Richard Conry and Rick Murray of B.T. Land Company, cam~". before the Planning Commission with their alternate proposal of 6 lots. They were not pleased with the plan but were forced to alter their origi- nal plan to eliminate the Central Water System. The Public Hearing was then"closed and moved for de~ision to the June 22nd meeting. Tonight the discussion was opened to the Planning Commission and after a complete review and more discussion, the Chair asked that a motion was in order for a recommendation to the Council. Leslie moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the Council to approve the 12 lot plan; with Central Water System, and a through street, with Garden Drive to intersect Cathcart DrIve to join Afton Road. Roll call vote - 2 Ayes - 2 Nays. Reese: Voted Aye to the 12 lot plan with Central Water System and a through street. Stover: Voted Nay-Prefers the 12 lot plan but does not approve of the. through street; but will go along with the water system. Cole: Voted Nay-Prefers the 12 lot plan; with a through street, but does not like the Central Water. Leslie: Voted Aye-The through street is for better planning; need the water system and the drainage is solvable. . . e Shorewood Planning Commission -2 - Study Meeting Minutes - 6/22/78 KUEMPEL CHIME CLOCK -21195 Minnetonka Blvd. Request for R/C Zoninq and Conditional Use Permit Don and Audrey McGregor, owners of the Kuempel Chime Clock Company, were present at the Public Hearing to make application for the new R/C Zoning to said property (Currently non-conforming) and requested a Conditional Use Permit for the continued operation of their business at 21195 Minne- tonka Blvd. A proposed storage addition to their building was also dis- cussed. The Public Hearing was closed June 8th; study to be resumed at the June 22nd meeting. June 22nd - discussion resumed resulting in the following recommendation to the Council: Moved by Leslie that the Council grant the Kuempel Chime Clock the R/C Zoning and a Conditional Use Permit on lots 13, 14, and 15 of Block 11, with the following conditions: 1) That it remain Kuempel Chime Clock operation. 2) That it be owned and operated by the same family and be operated in the same manner. 3) That at such time as they would sell the operation, or it be taken over by some other business, it must return to the Council for permission, if the Conditional Use Permit is to be continued. A roll call vote of 2 Ayes - 1 Nay, 1 Abstain. Aye: Cole - I feel that the R/C zoning is the only vehicle available to us at this time for granting this expansion; but I do not feel it is as appropriate a vehicle as it should be for this situation. Aye: Leslie - I approve the business operation, as it is now, and my. only concern is what would happen in the future, if this particu- lar business would be sold. I feel that we need a legal stop-gap for this situation. Nay: Reese - I have nothing against that use; however, I feel the lack of neighborhood opposition should not be sole criteria for this use and I don't consider it good planning principle. JAN HAUGEN ADDRESSES THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS LIAISON (These are the thoughts of Jan Haugen - Address attached) PRELIMINARY POLICY PLAN - 11/3 of Comprehensive Plan - Brad Nielson, Planner 9:45 PM - Mr Nielson of Midwest Planning was called upon to direct us in the study of the Comprehensive Plan #3. The Primary and Secondary issues were discussed and clarified at this time but due to the few members present it was decided to go forward with the study at the next study meeting on July 27th. Chairwoman Cole made an apology to Mr. Nielson for his time being spent so unfruitfully. AD JO UR NME NT Moved by Jane Cole, seconded by Stover, that the meeting be adjourned at 10:35 PM. R~. ectful::ly submitted, ~~ /ld~ Bobbie Dyb~k, S~cretary . . JANHAUGEN'S - AODRESS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION - June 22 , .1978 The Council feels there is a problem of communication, once again, between the Planning Commission and the Council. Per recommendation of the Mayor, I was asked to again attend the meetingsof the Planning Commission, as liaison. That is why I am here tonight. Because we are having so many things coming up, I would like to have each one of you think very carefully. 1) If you are not going to be able to attend the meetin I don't think it is fair to the people who do attend, to have the burden of the decisions of the City on their shoulders alone; and it certainly is not fair to the applicants who are waiting for action. This is supposed to be a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 group. If upon reviewing your membership on this committee, you find that you have been absent more than you have been present; rather than continue to do so, I want you to be honest with us and let us know. There are many people who would like to be on the Planning Comm- ission. I know that it is a burden, and I know that it is a responsibility; but it is one that we all share together for the City. We, as a Council, have been very particular about whom we put on the Plannih~Commission. Some of the staff have not been too pleased with the way that we do it; but we have tried to select the members in such a manner that ~ will represent the City of Shorewood, by area and by thought. We don't want a Planning Commission that automatically stamps approval on everything the Council says. That is why we want all of you here. You represent different factions, different thOughts, and different areas. That makes for an effective P.C. If you can't be at the meetings, then we are going to have to find somebody who can represent that particular faction of Shorewood that ~ are to represent. 2) Tonight I heard a lot of discussion, which I liked; but some of it pertained to personal thoughts - which is fine, but when you are in a Planning Commission seat, sometimes you are going to have to put those personal viewpoints aside and look at the City as a whole -- where it is going - how its going to get there. There again, is the reason we picked ~, because we thought that you would do that; but if you feel that you can' tt h en we want you to tell us. I am going to be at your meetings; hopefully, so that we can get the communication back the way that we want it, so there will be an honest exchange between the Planning Commission and the Council. If there are any problems; then let me know about them right away. We don't want it setting there and we dont want it simmering and by like token, if we have any problams between the Council and the Planning Commission, I'll come back to you and tell you. Bobbie and I are going to get together and resolve the problem of getting information to you promptly. It would also help if you could call into the City Hall or drop in occasionally to pick up your packets; to eliminate the high postage rates. Also, if you are going on vacation or can't for some reason make the meeting, call Bobbie. JAN HAUGEN SHOREWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES .

PUBLIC HEARING - Henry Webster Jr.- GRANTSVILLE 2ND ADDITION (Plat 35020, Parcel 9010) This plat dates from 1974 when it was approved but due to it not being filed within the 6 month time allotted it is necessary to hold a new public hearing. Henry Webster Jr. submitted a plan for a preliminary plat of property located on the east side of Eureka Road just south of Birch Bluff Road; adjacent to the SW corner of Tonka Bay. The property contains 4.69 acres which the applicant proposed to sub- divide into 4 residential lots. It has but 60' of frontage on Eureka Road; the bulk of the land locked between other parcels and a larg~ protected wetlands; subdivision to be served by a 250' street extend- ing from Eureka Road and terminating in a 100' diameter cul-de-sac. The property is zoned R-2, single family. Surrounding uses - 4 residential lots, zoned R-2 to the north. To the South and East, undeveloped land designated as wetlands and zoned R-2. To the west, 1 single lot. . . . Planning Commission Minutes -2- July 13, 1978 Variances are requested for lots 3 and 4 of plat; the zoning requirements of 100' minimum lot width at the setback or building line. Mr. Irwin Moe and Jerry Porter, neighbors to the north, were present with concerns regarding the road and the desire to retain the trees facing the road for privacy to their property. Mr. Webster felt the road could be altered, because of the leverage there, to the best interest of Moe and Porter. After reading the engineer's report, it was noted that no profile or type of pipe is mentioned for the storm sewer. Mr. Webster stated that it would be his intention to follow the village specifications as to whatever pipe is needed for installation. The chair closed the Public Hearing at 8:15 PM. After discussion by the Planning Commission, Mr. Reese moved that further study is necessary; because of the late presentation of the Engineer and Planner reports, to allow the Planning Commission to read the reports and study the issues; hold over to the next regular meeting, August 10th. Seconded by Larson. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - Don Muehlberg - "THESMITHTOWN ROAD DEVELOPMENT" tPlat 34420, Parcels 6470-5080) The applicant has submitted plans for preliminary plat of property on the north side of Smithtown Road, approximately 1,500 feet west of Eureka Road totalling 4.08 acres in area. The parcel south of Smithtown Road is curr- ently zoned R~2 single family residential. The northern parcel is zoned R-l, single family residential; for which the applicant is requesting a rezoning to R-2. Wm. Smith and Lois Gillan; adjoining property owners, were present and shared the same views regarding the rezoning: the developer knew it was R-l zoning when he bought the property; that it could start a very dangerous precedent, and they felt there was not sufficient reason to change the z 0 ni ng . Also present was Mr. Denomme who felt the R-2 zoning was in order and felt that Minneapolis is moving out to the suburbs and we have to face reality. The Public Hearing was closed by the chair at 8:40 PM. After discussion by the Planning Commission, Steve Larson moved that we deny the request for rezoning from R-l to R-2; seconded by Leslie. It was also recommended tha ttJ:\~,issuebe tabled until more i nforma- tion is received regarding the plat and the Engineer's reports. A roll call vote was taken; with commentsA!yom the PC: ~-Ayes, 2 abstain. Reese: vote of Aye I prefer the 5 lotsYio the 3; I=..@"u' I am in agreement with the planners reasons for f. IIitl<I r ~~!~~.~ Leslie: vote of Aye - I feel it is just ~s a~{active in 3 lots. I prefer specifics from the developer; would like to have it remain R-l zoning. 'J, . . . Planning Commission Minutes -3- July 13, 1978 Gagne: Vote of aye - It was designed R-l originally, and I feel that it should remain R-l. Stover: Vote of aye - I feel that we have limited information that does not show cause to change the zoning. Larson: Vote of aye - I don't feel there is sufficient reason to change the zoning; we must enforce our ordinance. Cole and Watten abstain. PUBLIC HEARING - Merritt Korsmo - "TINGEWOOD" Plat 34500, Parcel 0125 A request by Merritt Korsmo, to subdivide the property described as lots 1 through 5 and lot 34 of Auditors Subdivision 175, located in the north 1/2 of section 35; into 4 lots, hereafter referred to as "Tingewood". This property contains approximately 6 acres within the R-l zoning and is located on the south side of Hwy 7, running 803 feet west of Radisson Entrance; 449 feet south along the west side of Radisson Entrance and abutting Radisson Inn road. Concerned persons were Leslie Nelson and Paul Seifert. Mr. Nelson lives adjacent to the property and his concern is the gravel road extending northerly from 34 through lot 3 and partial of lot 1, to the Radisson Road Entrance. Public Hearing was c~osed at 9:30 PM. Planning Commission Comments; It was suggested that Mr. Korsmo and Mr. Nelson have a meeting and figure out the fate of the driveway in the northerly direction. When the plat is reviewed, that Radisson Inn Road be enlarged from lot 4; an opportunity to get the right-of-way of the 12' driveway. Stover moved that the issue be tabled to the next regular meeting of August 10th for further study and possibly more information. Seconded by Watten. Motion carried unanimously. The Planning Commission felt the Engineer and Surveyor to the Developer could be of help in acquiring more information. The letters from the Engineer and Planner should be reviewed and questions be answered at the next meeting. PUBLIC HEARING - John Gullickson - Plat 34420, Parcel 6250 Strawberry Lane Pursuant to published notice a Public Hearing was called by the Planning Commission for John Gullickson requesting to subdivide the above described property into seven lots; each lot 25,000 square feet - a total of 4-1/4 acres; located in R-2 zone. Reese recommended denial of the request because of no input from the petitioner. Seconded by Gagne. Motion carried unanimously. A letter from the planner will be sent to Mr. Gullickson for his infor- ma t ion. ED STRICKLAND -Lot 185 Christmas Lake - S-1/2 Section 35 T-117 R-23 Mr. Strickland came before the Planning Commission in regard to his property; the north part having a tennis court. He wished advice as to .I'f the property were sold could the 20' easement be used by both parties. If a 50' road had to be installed it would destroy the tennis court and the value of the house. Attorney Kelly was present to answer the questions presented. . . . Planning Commission Minutes -4- July 13, 1978 Jane Cole has resigned from the Planning Commission and is being replaced by Robert Gagne. Jerome Miller has ,resigned and is being replaced by Robert Rascop. Cole, in closing, wished to express her concern: 1.

To our new members: Janet Leslie, Robert Rascop, and Robert Gagne. We are happy to have you on the Planning Commission and it is our hope that you will enjoy partaking in the planning of our city.

It is almost the same as parting from my familyl In these past months I have come to realize that I am unable to do justice to the position of chairman of the Planning Commission as well as do justice to my real family, home, and the new business that my husband and I are starting. Although I would like very much to continue in my present position, I feel that no one will come out a winner, and that I must make some sacrifices. In view of the fact that no one else can take over my roles in the latter three areas, I must relinquish the one area where I can be replaced. Since a "Jack-of-all-trades" usually is master of none, I would like to step aside to allow someone else, whose time and concentration powers will be more available than mine, to succeed me. My association with my fellow planning commission members, members of the Council, members of the park commission, and everyone on the Shorewood staff during these past 5 years has been more than wonderful, and most rewarding to met The opportunity to serve my community has been an invaluable experience. I shall miss it, and ALL of you' If I can once. again be of assistance in the future (once we get "The Weather Shutters, Inc." and our children on their feet't), please feel free to call on me.

An overlay map showing a 50' extended cul-de-sac, suggested by the Planner, was presented for discussion.

STRAWBERRY GARDENS - PUBLI C HEARING - B. T. Land Company A Public Hearing was called upon duly published notice of September 28th for approval of the preliminary plat of Strawberry Gardens (Plat 34332 - Parcel 5200), between Cathcart Drive and Strawberry Lane, North of Highway 7, at the request of the developer for rezoning the affected property (13.3 acres) from a regular resi- dential district to a Planned Unit Residential District under provisions of the zoning ordinance. BACKGROUND: Originally in April a proposal of 12 lots of 40,000 square feet or more with a cul-de-sac was presented. Council had enacted a policy wherein: new proposed residential subdivisions, upon which ten or more living units could be legally constructed should be served with a Community Water System. The developer stated that economically it was not feasible for a developer to put in a water system for less than 23 lots and it would be necessary for them to come to the Planning Commission with an alternate proposal. SECOND PROPOSAL: 6 long rectangular lots; 3 facing Cathcart and 3 facing Strawberry Lane. This plan met all of the ordinance requirements but the Planning Commission recommended to the Council to accept the 12 lot plan with the Engineer's recommen- dation of a through street (Garden Drive to intersect Cathcart Drive and join Afton Road) taking the pressure off of Smithtown Road. The Planning Commission felt that this made for better planning; however, the developer would not agree to a Central Water System or extension of the through street. The developer is now requesting a rezoning of the land from a regular residential to a PURD. Concerned residents attending the meeting were: Judy and Norman Blosko, Mrs. Dean Johnson, Doug Ahern, and Paul Skjervold. Their concerns were density and drainage problems. Paul Skjervold asked to have it put on record that he is in favor of the proposal. Watten moved, Gagne seconded, that the Public Hearing be closed. Motion carried uanimously. Chairman Reese stated that the Planning Commission could ask questions of the petitioner or legal council and look over the reports and take action. . . . City of Shorewood October 12, 1978 - 2 - The PURD Ordinance was studied as a guide to the request. Discussion centered around: A. FLEXIBILITY B . VARIETY C. HIGHER STANDARDS D. PRESERVATION E. EFFICIENCY [Providing central well? [Applicable to standard development of 1 [Right to have some voice in determination of what is going to happen to the area. Comments of Planning Commission: Reese: This is R-2 Zoning, rather than a planned development. Watt en: I would rather see a proposal developed on the basis of a 10% variation for a R-l, which requires 36,000 square foot lots, and reduce the lots to 16; which would be more in keeping with the area. Leslie: I would like to see more open space provided. Stover moved, Watten seconded, to recommend to the Council the denial of the PURD based on these things: IJ Does not supply common open space areas required. 2J Does not meet the 5 defined purposes of the PURD ordinance. Motion carried unanimously. OAK RIDGE ESTATES - PUBLIC HEARING - Ted Noble THIRD ADDITION A Public Hearing was called upon duly published notice of September 28th for the approval of the preliminary plat of Oak Ridge Estates - 3rd Addition; total area of 30 acres - 10 lots and 1 outlot. Presenter, Joe Gorecki, was present and wished to discuss the recommendations set forth by the Planner. I) Lot Sizes 2] Lot 4 3J Entire remaining parcel should be platted at the same time; 1- To provide for proper circulation (traffic) 2- To adequately plan for a community well system. Gorecki: "Mr. Noble feels the dul-de-sac is better than a through street in that it keeps traffic down and gives a certain amount of safety for the children." "The original plan was for wells for each building site; when the other 16 lots are developed, we can again consider the community well." Reese: "We feel it should all be laid out in a preliminary manor before we can approve this much or any other portion of it." Gagne moved. seconded by Reese, to hold over the Public Hearing until such time as the petitioner wishes to come back with a plat for the entire remain- ing parcel. Motion carried unanimously. City of Shorewood - 3 - October l2, 1978 . GARAGE VARIANCE - BERNARD E. DOUGHTY - 20750 Garden Road Mr. Bernard E. Doughty presented a proposed garage in excess of 1,000 square feet with a 25' setback from Garden Road at the meeting of September 28, 1978. The issues discussed were: ~~ ~j Use Didn't meet setback requirements City can't be more restricive than the State Showed a 3 cut entry Building 15' high The planning commission felt they' needed time for study. The reason Mr. Doughty did not want to move the building back was he did not want to remove the trees for the building. Watten moved to recommend to the Council to require the setback as established to conform with the 50' setback; to eliminate the road, and allow the height variance. Gagned seconded. Motion carried by a 3 to 2 vote. Leslie & Stover voting Nay.

He has obtained an agreement from the railroad to purchase the 30' in question. At this time, he would like concept approval of the 30' as a perma- nent access to the property. After much discussion as to alternatives to get 50', it was agreed upon that at one point only 30' could be obtained. Gagne moved, seconded by Rascop, to recommend to the Council to approve a 30' entrance road right-of-way and as soon as on the private land, it widen to 50'. Motion carried unanimously. Reese asked that his comment be noted, that he would prefer to see a total of 50' width as a southern extension of Eureka Road to the North. LIAISON HAUGEN REPORT: Advisory Council of Metropolitan Municipalities Haugen attended the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities. Staff members presented a guide for local comprehensive land use plans which read: "Local Councils will at all times look at any acreage that is open, toward developing at 25 units or more per acre." Board members asked that the presentation be modified to read: "Local Councils will at all times look at any acreage that is open, toward developing up to 25 units." This reading seemed more acceptable. ~ STUDY PORTION OF THE MEETING - Garage Variances and Storage Buildings Discussion and study regarding the many requests for garage variances and the erecting of storage buildings on properties in the community was the main issue of the study meeting. Members felt that the ordinance which is now in effect; although it may seem quite restrictive, is none the less the best direction.
