V. SET DATE FOR INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING - REZONING
APPLICANT: Foxboro Corporation
LOCATION: 1245, 1315, 1335 and 1411 North Lilac Drive
REQUEST: Approval of Rezoning from Residential to Business
� and Professional Offices Zoning District
Acting Chairman Prazak introduced this agenda item and asked staff to review the
proposal . City Planner Alda Peikert reviewed the request for rezoning and gave
the staff recommendation.
Commissioner Leppik asked if this would come back to the Commission as a PUD and
also if there were any plans for closing the Lindsay Street entrance to Highway
100 and, if so, how it would affect traffic.
City Planner Alda Peikert explained that this would not be a PUD. She also
stated that there were no plans to close Lindsay Street but there were plans to
upgrade Duluth Street and the service road in the future which would improve
access to Highway 100 north.
Acting Chairman Prazak asked if the parking was adequate and how many units
there would be.
City Planner Alda Peikert said she would let the proponent give answers to those
questions.
Mr. Lynn Sloat of Sloat Logan Associates, architects, was present to represent
the proponent. He stated the building contained a total of 36,700 square feet
of which 24,900 square feet were on the first floor and 11 ,700 square feet on
the second floor. He explained that the building was U-shaped fronting on
�

� Highwa 100 for maximum a earance kee in the minimal amount of buildin toward
Y PP P 9 9
the residential properties to the rear. The parking requirements for this pro-
ject would be 147 spaces and they have provided for 155 parking spaces. Mr.
Sloat also explained that they had tried to distribute the parking around the
site rather than concentrate it in one area. Mr. Sloat explained that the pro-
posed building would have brick walls, cedar shake roof and bronze tinted glass
to create an ambiance of a residential a�ea, and that the two-story height keeps
the building low to blend in with the area. They have off-set the modules to
break up the roof line.
Mr. Sloat stated they are looking at various ways to resolve the drainage
problem and that it would not be draining from the blacktop surface to the west
into the backyards of the residences. Mr. Sloat stated that any drainaye plan
would have to be approved by the City and that the construction would comply
with all City codes and ordinances.
Commissioner Leppik stated that one of her concerns when a piece of property
which is zoned from residential to another use such as Business and Professional
Offices is whether or not the owners had tried previously to sell it as residen-
tial and if this were the case with this property.
Mr. Sloat did not know if this were the case.
� Commissioner Schmidt asked if they had commitments on this property including
the small portion to the north.
Mr. Sloat said that they did.
Commissioner Leppik asked how long the actual construction would take and if
they had any ideas on the landscaping.
Mr. Sloat stated the construction would take about six or seven months and that
the landscapiny would probably consist of shrubs and trees. He explained they
would probably use shrubs around the parking areas to keep headlights from
shining into the residential area in the winter and would probably use larger
trees to break up the landscaping.
Commissioner Kapsner asked how high the grade would be between the parking lot .
and backya�ds and whether it would be a slope or retaining wall . Mr. Sloat
replied it would be roughly 14 feet but at this time they did not know if it
would be a slope or retaining wall and that these were things they would have to
look at in order to make the project work.
Commissioner Schmidt felt that the drainage is the most important part of this
project.
Mr. Sloat stated that they do not have all the drainage problems solved but that
it would be something they would have to work on.
�
Planning Commission Minutes
' February 11, 1985 �
Page 4
� City Planner Alda Peikert asked how the interior was designed and how many units
there would be.
Mr. Sloat explained that the modules were 35 by 60 feet for a typical unit.
There are ten units p]us two corner units and how they would be divided would
depend on the owners and how large the companies were that buy the units.
Acting Chairman Prazak opened the informal public hearing for public input.
Mr. Wally Kovstad, 1220 Welcome Avenue, objected to the rezoning because he
would be lookiny at cars whenever he looked out his window and suggested they
maybe could put parking to the front rather than the rear of the property. He
also objected to the rezoning because it did not follow the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan and was concerned about the drainage problem.
Mr. R. C. Johnson, 1200 Welcome Avenue, opposed the rezoning because the addi-
tional traffic, fumes and noise would make the area intolerable. He too was
concerned about the drainage as they already have some water problems.
Mr. Pavlos Electris, 1316 Welcome Avenue, said they moved into their home in
1978 and have been trying to upgrade their property since then. He does not
want to look at the cars in the parking lot and feels they will lose their pri-
vacy. He also was concerned with drainage and does not want the zoning changed.
� Mr. George Seiter, 1408 North Lilac Drive, had questions on variances and set-
backs which were explained by City Planner Alda Peikert.
Mr. Frank Tenczar, 1310 Welcome Avenue, opposed the zoning change. He also
was concerned about the drainage situation and said that presently there are
children that slide on this hill in the winter.
Ms. Betty Ellgen, 1438 North Lilac Drive, stated that she and her husband were •
very much opposed to this rezoning because of the traffic and accessibility.
Ms. Ellgen and her husband feel more effort should be made to build single
f amily residences on these lots. She also read a letter from her neighbor, Mrs.
Fae Fay, 1420 North Lilac Drive, who also opposes the rezoning of this property.
Mr. Harry Lucas, 1324 Welcome Avenue, opposed the rezoning because of the
drainage situation.
Mr. A1 Schuler, 1411 North Lilac Drive, was in favor of the rezoning as he does
not see any other way to improve this area. He said there is more pollution
from traffic on the east side of Highway 100. He also suggested they need signs
to reduce the speed on the frontage road.
Mrs. Marlys Johnson, 1125 North Lilac Drive, asked if there were plans to
upgrade Highway 100 to three lanes each way. City Planner Alda Peikert said
there are no plans in the capital improvement plan for the next five years and
it is unlikely it would be upgraded in ten years.

Acting Chairman Prazak questioned whether there had been any attempts to sell
the property for senior citizen housing.
City Planner Alda Peikert stated there had been two people who had come in
during the past two years to talk about senior citizen housing one of which
would be combined with a medical clinic.
Acting Chairman Prazak closed the informal public hearing.
The Planning Commission had various questions on the drainage problems and City
Planner Alda Peikert explained that no plans would be approved until the City
was satisfied that it would not drain toward the properties to the west.
Commissioner Schmidt asked if any efforts had been made to maintain this as
single family residential and asked the staff to comment on what would happen in
the future if this property would remain zoned for residential use.
City Planner Alda Peikert said it could remain residential but it would have to
be cost effective for a developer to develop the property. She stated that
staff has suggested low-density townhouses, multiple dwelling units or offices
as options for development.
Director Grimes said a developer would be cautious before constructing residen-
� tial units along Nighway 100 because of the fumes and traffic.
Commissioner McAleese asked if this property had ever been on the HRA agenda and
wondered what types of improvements were proposed for the traffic situation at
Duluth Street and Highway 100.
City Planner Alda Peikert said it had not been on the HRA agenda and that the
improvements planned were for widening of Duluth Street and possible addition of
traffic signals.
Commissioner Schmidt asked if it were possible to put the parking in the front
and Mr. S1oat explained that they tried to keep the buildiny as far as they
could from the residential area at the rear.
Commissioner Kapsner asked it it was feasible to put berming along the west.
Mr. Sloat said this would be possible and is one thing they would have to study
along with the drainage.
Acting Chairman Prazak asked what would happen if the City Council approved the
rezoning and the developer found it was not cost effective and withdrew their
plans.
City Planner Alda Peikert said that once any property is rezoned there is no
guarantee that the developer who presented the rezoning and plans would go ahead
with the project. It could very easily change hands and go to someone else.

Acting Chairman Prazak had concerns for changing the zoning and the comprehen-
sive plan on the basis of not only a tentative development but also with so many
unanswered questions.
Director Grimes doubted that single homes would be built if the property
remained residential and that multiple family use would probably create more
traffic in the area.
Commissioner McCracken-Hunt agreed that single family character is not feasible
and that multiple residential units would create some of the same problems such
as traffic.
Commissioner McAleese stated he would like additional information on traffic and
drainage and would like to hold off making a decision at this time.
Commissioner Leppik stated she liked the plan, that it was very good use of the
property with modifications for drainage. She complimented the developer on the
presentation of a plan sensitive to the neighborhood.
Commissioner McCracken-Hunt had concerns for the car lights shining into the
properties and the drainage.
Mr. Sloat said if the drainage situation could not be worked out, it would not
� be in their best interest to complete the project they are trying to develop.
He asked if there was a way to tie the rezoning in with this project?
Acting Chairman Prazak said there was not.
Commissioner Leppik said if it were not for the neighborhood opposition she
would be for the project and that there are ocassions when you can bypass the
comprehensive plan.
Commissioner Leppik stated it was a very good plan though it has flaws and that
eventually it would be rezoned. The neighbors should consider this plan or
winding up with something else.
It was moved by Commissioner Leppik, seconded by Commissioner McAleese and
unanimously agreed to recommend City Council denial of the requst for rezoning
of 1245, 1315, 1335 and 1411 North Lilac Drive from Residential to Business and
Professional Offices Zoning District.
VI. DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO ZONING ORDINANCE RELATED TO HOME
OCCUPATIONS
There was general discussion on the proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance '
�elated to home occupations. Director Grimes will continue to work out the
details and forward to the City Attorney.

. Acting Chairman Prazak introduced this agenda item and asked staff to review the
proposal . Director Grimes reviewed the request for rezoning and gave the staff
recorr�nnendation. He stated that the request for rezoning is consistent with the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation. He also said that the construction of
the building and the platting of the property would require General Mills to
appear before the Planning Commission and City Council again in the future.
Acting Chairman Prazak wanted to know when the Comprehensive Land Use Plan first
designated this area as Business and Professional Offices and if the east or
west half of the property might be preferred for office construction by the City
Engineering Department in regard to drainage. City Planner Alda Peikert stated
it was first designated in 1976. Director Grimes stated that the Engineering
Department did not express any preference but that the west half might be more
accessible for traffic and have better visibility.
Commissioner Schmidt questioned if it was intended that there would eventually
be two buildings and Director Grimes stated that General Mills indicated there
would only be one building.
Acting Chairman Prazak asked if there were any other questions of staff. There
were none.
Acting Chairman Prazak recognized the proponents Mr. David Latvaaho, Real Estate
Representative for General Mills, and Mr. John Schevenius, P.E. of the
Engineering Policy Group of General Mills.
� Mr. Latvaaho stated that they were at the meeting for the rezoniny only and that
General Mills has no immediate plans to develop the property, only conceptual
plans, and that they understand they would have to come back to the Planning
Commission in order to pursue any further plans.
Commissioner Kapsner wanted to know if there was going to be two buildings. Mr.
Latvaaho stated that their plans were to build only one building but as yet have
not decided on which half of the parcel they will build.
Commissioner Leppik wanted to know what kind of drainaye plans had been deve-
loped for the site.
Mr. Schevenius said they had discussed a number of different kinds of drainage
possibilities for the property. Flood storage could be on either half of the
site as there is adequate space and that they could also put flood storage to
the south of Betty Crocker Drive. Mr. Schevenius stated that they have worked
with the Bassett Creek Flood Control Commission's engineers and there are a
number of ways it could be done.
Acting Chairman Prazak wanted to know the year General Mills could best estimate
when construction would begin.
�
�
Planning Commission Minutes
. January 28, 1985
Page 3
� Mr. Latvaaho said they estimated it would be two to five years before develop-
ment of the property would begin.
Commissioner Leppik asked if the larye piece of property sticking down into the
General Mills property was going to create a problem or if General Mills would
possibly be buying and developing this property.
Director Grimes said the property is part of the density calculations for
Brookview Condominiums and that General Mills has no plans to obtain this pro-
perty.
Commissioner McAleese asked why General Mills was coming to the Planning
Commission at this time for rezoning.
Mr. Latvaaho stated it was so that when they are ready to develop this property
the zoning would be in place.
Acting Chairman Prazak asked if the office development would be for General
Mills use exclusively and Mr. Latvaaho replied yes.
Actiny Chairman Prazak opened the informal public hearing for public input.
Mr. Thomas McChesney, 432 Decatur Avenue North, was concerned about sewer
assessments and traffic. He stated he already had a sewer system at the �ear
and to the front of his property that he has paid for and does not see why he
. should subsidize General Mills. He questioned who owns Betty Crocker Drive and
that they should abide by the laws and provide stop signs at their exits. He
stated that it is very difficult to get on Boone Avenue from the service road
when people are leaving General Mills in the afternoon.
Acting Chairman Prazak assured him that the Planning Commission would look at
the traffic issue when a specific plan comes before the Planning Commission.
Michelle Poirier, 8925 Wally Street is concerned if the residents would have any
input before General Mills started building on the property and that she would
prefer they rezone the west half of the property to build on.
Acting Chairman Prazak stated the area was one parcel and the entire area would
be rezoned. He also stated that the residents would be notified when plans were
more definite.
Mr. Andrew Grega, 9145 West Highway 55, opposed rezoning. He was concerned
about the traffic and what would happen to Boone Avenue traffic when they are
working on I-394.
Mr. Schevenius stated that the plans for upgrading Highway 12 to I-394 include
plans for an interchange at I-394 and Boone Avenue.
•
r
Planning Commission Minutes
, January 28, 1985

� Commissioner Kapsner noted that the new interchange would probably lessen the
traffic on Boone Avenue.
Mr. Art Mills, 416 Decatur Avenue North, was represented by his daughter. She
stated that this area has been used by her father and other relatives for
walking for many years and that he would prefer the west side for building
construction. She asked that General Mills at least leave some of the woods.
Mr. Mark Poirier, 8925 Wally Street, asked why General Mills could not build on
the south side of Betty Crocke� Drive instead of the north side.
Mr. Latvaaho stated he could not answer this question.
Mrs. Grega of the Brookview Condominiums wanted to know if this plan calls for
doing anything to Bassetts Creek. Mr. Schevenius stated they have no intentions
to alter Bassetts Creek.
Acting Chairman Prazak closed the public heariny.
Commissioner Russell asked if the Boone Avenue/I-394 interchange would take pro-
perty from General Mills or the Brookview property. Staff stated both.
Commissioner Kapsner asked if the interchange is designed to alleviate some of
the General Mills traffic. Staff stated that it would and questioned if it was
to be a full interchange. Mr. Schevenius stated that it would be a full inter-
� chanye.
Commissioner Leppik asked who does own Betty Crocker Drive. Staff indicated it
was a dedicated right-of-way on the street map and is maintained by the City.
Commissioner Leppik said she can see no reason not to rezone this property but
that there would be more input on what General Mills does with the property.
Commissioner McAleese questioned how we have the discrepency between the General
Plan and the existing residential development directly west of the WTCN
building. The General Plan designates the entire area south of Highway 55 as
Business and Professional Offices.
Director Grimes stated that the homes were probably there before General Mills.
Mr. Schevenius stated the homes were built soon after World War II . General
Mills purchased the property beginniny in the mid 1950' s.
Commissioner McAleese opposed the rezoning. He said it is a major step and
gives General Mills some legal rights to the property that they don't have if it
is not rezoned and that we would have more control over the development of the
property under its current status. He would like to have more time to think
about this and to defer the Planning Commission's decision to a future date.
Commissioner Leppik asked what more information Commissioner McAleese would want
before voting on it.
•

Planning Commission Minutes

� Commissioner McAleese feels that the Planning Commission needs to get a better
handle on the planning aspect of their jobs and that the City would benefit from
taking time to make the decision. He would like more information on the sewer
system, the traffic problems that exist now and what might exist if a building
were to go in on one of these parcels. If the property were rezoned, he
believes that the City has less control of the development of the site. He said
that the Conditional Use Permit procedure and PUD procedure does not give the
City the same amount of control over development as does a rezoniny.
Acting Chairman Prazak asked if he was suggesting they plat the property into
two components first and then rezone.
Commissioner McAleese stated that it would be a reasonable alternative and that
rezoniny is a major step and gives them legal rights they currently do not now
have. He stated that the Planning Commission should revaew the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan and be looking ahead as to how it will affect the community ten
years down the }ine.
Commissioner Schmidt asked how long General Mills has owned property and if it
had been zoned Open Development since that time.
Director Grimes stated they had owned it since 1956 and that it probably had
been zoned Qpen Development since then.
Commissioner Leppik stated she could see no reason the Commission should not
. make a decision at this time as the rezoning was in conformance with the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Commissioner McAleese moved that the Planning Commission defer the decision one
meeting to afford him the opportunity to write a brief as to why the Commission
should delay the decision. The motion died for lack of a second.
Acting Chairman Prazak noted there were considerable questions raised by both
the Commission and members of the community about specific potential aspects of
the plan that will be presented to the Commission at a later time. At that time
General Mills can expect there to be a very intensive look at the specifics of
that plan and how it will affect traffic and the neighbors.
Commissioner Russell stated she agreed with the process but felt the Commission
would not be right in denyiny General Mills what they had every right to expect.
It was moved by Commissioner Russell and seconded by Commissioner Leppik to
recommend City Council approval of the rezoning of 8800 and 9300 Betty Crocker
Drive from the Open Development Zoning District to the Business and Professional
Offices Zoning District. The motion passed by a vote of 5 to 1 with Commissioner
McAleese opposed.
IV. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO ZONING ORDINANCE RELATED TO RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES
After discussion it was moved by Commissioner Schmidt, seconded by Commissioner
• Russell and carried unanimously to recommend City Council approval of the pro-
posed ordinance changes related to residential facilities.

Commissioner McAleese gave a report on the Zoning Authority Responsibilities
Procedures Seminar which he attended. He felt the key point that was made was
that cities need to do more planning rather than react to Conditional Use
Permits, PUD' s and rezonings. He also stated that the Planning Commission
should more carefully evaluate testimony given by the public.

SUBJECT: Informal Public Hearing on the Preliminary Plat of the
"Church of the Good Shepherd Addition"
The Church of the Good Shepherd at 145 Jersey Avenue South has presented the
preliminary plat of the "Church of the Good Shepherd Addition". The 16.61
acre subdivision is located on the east side of Jersey Avenue South between
Western Avenue and Laurel Avenue. The purpose of the subdivision is to divide
the church property into two lots. The north lot, or Lot 1, is the location
of the existing church, convent and school. The south lot, or Lot 2, is a
vacant parcel. Lot 1 is 9.82 acres in size and Lot 2 is 6.3 acres in size.
The proposed preliminary plat complies with the requirements of the Zoning
Code. This property is currently zoned I-1 Institutional. Within this district,
churches and schools are the permitted uses. The existing use of Lot 1 meets �
all requirements for lot size, setbacks and parking.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates this area for schools and semi-public
facilities as the property is now being used.
� Adequate utility services are available to Lot 2. A sanitary sewer line is
available along Laurel Avenue, Jersey Avenue and the east property line of
the lot. Public water is available in Jersey Avenue and Laurel Avenue. Drain-
age to Lot 2 will have to be provided by an internal storm sewer system that
will be drained to the City ponding area directly east of Lot 2. Any drainage ,
plan for the development of the site must be approved by the City Engineer.
As part of the platting procedure, the Church of the Good Shepherd will be
required to dedicate an addition of 40 feet of right-of-way for Laurel Avenue.
This additional 40 feet will provide a 100-foot right-of-way for Laurel which
will be used for an expanded street.
In addition, the subdivision regulations require a public dedication of property
for park and open spaces. The amount to be dedicated is a minimum of ten per-
cent of the subdivision or a cash dedication equal to ten percent of the land
value. In this case, the staff is recommending the dedication of a 50-foot
greenbelt easement running parallel with Laurel Avenue. (This easement is
in addition to the required 40-foot dedication for Laurel Avenue.) This Laurel
Greenbelt has been recommended by the Parks and Open Spaces Commission to help
provide a buffer between the intensely used properties along Highway 12 and
the residential neighborhood north of Laurel. It is hoped that such a green-
belt will run along Laurel from Pennsylvania Avenue to Florida Avenue. When
a building permit is issued on Lot 2, the landscaping of the greenbelt must
be considered. The Park and Open Spaces Commission has made suggestions� re-
• garding the landscaping.

The Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend City
Council approval of the preliminary plat subject to the following conditions:
1. An additional 40 feet of right-of-way be dedicated for Laurel Avenue
along the south property line. �
2. Prior to final plat approval, the City receive an easement for a
50-foot wide greenbelt along Laurel Avenue. This easement is to be
considered the park dedication for this plat.

T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Alda Peikert, City Planner
SUBJECT: Informal Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat of "Cortlawn Pond"
Cortlawn Pond is one of two City owned properties which the City of Golden
Valley proposes to plat at this time for purposes of property recording. The
City intends to gradually accomplish platting of all unplatted City owned
properties in order to clarify boundaries, clear title, and establish required
street right-of-way and easements. The Golden Valley Planning Commission in
May 1984 reviewed the first three properties platted under this program: Mary
Hills Park, Rice Lake Park Reserve, and Schaper Natural Area. Platting of
City owned properties does not affect use of the properties.
Cortlawn Pond is a rectangular parcel 17.37 acres in area located on the north
side of Laurel Avenue to the east of the Church of the Good Shepherd property
northeast of Laurel and Jersey Avenue South. The approximate street address
would be 6500 Laurel Avenue. The property was purchased by the City in 1976
for use as storm water holding area. City construction of a storm water holding
pond on the site is anticipated in the near future. However, curre�tly pro-
� posed platting of the property is not related to the pond construction. The
City Engineering Department is planning to hold a neighborhood meeting in the
spring of 1985 to inform neighboring property owners of pond construction plans
and to provide an opportunity for neighborhood input into the planning process.
Mailed notice of that meeting will be sent to surrounding property owners.
The proposed plat of "Cortlawn Pond" is presented in Final Plat form rather
than Preliminary Plat form. The entire property is platted as a single lot,
and a drainage easement over the entire lot establishes use exclusively for
storm water holding purposes. In addition, the plat establishes dedication
of 40 feet of street right-of-way required for Laurel Avenue. Net area of
the lot after dedication of street right-of-way is 16.17 acres. Preliminary
Plat requirements necessary in the case of property scheduled for development
are not applicable in the case of City owned property designated as open space.
These usual Preliminary Plat requirements include detailed lot lines, building
setback lines, street plans, utility plans, grading plans and detailed topo-
graphic data.
The City Platting Regulations make provision for City Council waiver of re-
quirements of the Platting Ordinance provided there are special circumstances
or conditions affecting the property such that strict application of the
Ordinance would deprive the applicant of reasonable use of the land, provided
the variance is necessary for preservation of a substantial property right
of the petitioner, and provided granting of a variance will not adversely affect
neighboring properties or the public welfare. The unusual condition in the
� case of City owned properties proposed for platting is intent to preserve the
properties as natural area or open space for the long term future. The cost
of satisfying all of the Preliminary Plat requirements, which are designed
for development property, would limit capability to plat property never intended
� Golden Valley Planning Commission
February 20, 1985
� Page 2
for development. Waiver of Preliminary Plat requirements for City owned open
space would not in any way affect neighboring properties and would be beneficial
to the community, which would otherwise share the cost of collecting unnecessary
information.
City of Golden Valley platting procedure calls for Planning Commission review
of the Preliminary Plat only. Following City Council approval of the Preliminary
Plat, the Final Plat is returned directly to the Council for action. In the
case of currently proposed platting of City owned properties, the plats will
be referred to the City Council once only for action on waiver of Preliminary
Plat requirements and for approval of Final Plats.
Staff suggests that the Planning Commission recommend City Gouncil waiver of
Preliminary Plat requirements and approval of the Final Plat of "Cortlawn Pond".

T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Alda Peikert, City Planner
SUBJECT: Informal Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat of "Lauxel Pond"
The second of the two City owned properties proposed for platting at this time
is Laurel Pond, which consists of four contiguous parcels with a total area
of 16.3 acres located to the northwest of the intersection of Laurel Avenue
and Jersey Avenue South. The approximate street address of the total parcel
is 7000 Laurel Avenue.
The properties included in, Laurel Pond were acquired by the City of Golden
Valley both by means of dedication and by means of purchase for drainage and
storm water holding purposes. All four properties were acquired from the same
developer in 1976 at the time of platting of residential development properties
to the north. The westerly of the two rectangular parcels fronting on Laurel
Avenue was purchased by the City. The easterly rectangular parcel fronting
on Laurel Avenue was previously platted as Outlot 2 of Rings Colonial Addition
� and was purchased by the City at the time of platting. Outlot A of Rings
Second Addition was dedicated to the City for public use at the time of plat-
ting, and Outlot A of Rings Colonial Third Addition also was acquired by
dedication on the plat. Storm sewer is in place on the long narrow portion
of the property to the north previously Outlot A, and construction of two
storm water holding ponds on the two large rectangular parcels is already
complete. No further storm sewer construction work is contemplated on the
properties.
The proposed plat of "Laurel Pond", like that of "Cortlawn Pond", is present-
ed as a Final Plat. The entire parcel is again platted as a single lot covered
in its entirety with a drainage easement. In this case, approximately 50 feet
of right-of-way is dedicated as required for Laurel Avenue. Net area of the
lot remaining after street right-of-way dedication is 14.53 acres. Al1 applic-
able Preliminary Plat requirements are fulfilled on the Final Plat except for
detailed topographic data.
It is suggested that waiver of Preliminary Plat requirements is appropriate
in this case, as in the case of the plat of "Cortlawn Pond", due to intent
to preserve the property as open space. Staff suggests that the Planning
Commission recommend City Council waiver of Preliminary Plat requirements and
City Council approval of the Final Plat of "Laurel Pond".

T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
SUBJECT: Request for Waiver of the Platting Ordinance - 1101 and 1107
Orkla Drive
Walter Kost, owner of the house and lot at 1101 Orkla Drive and his
neighbor to the north, Sylvia Engwall, 1107 Orkla Drive, have requested
a waiver from the Platting Ordinance in order to change the lot line
between their two homes.
. In reality, Mr. Kost and Mrs. Engwall want to go back to the original
lot line between Lots 9 and 10, Block 3, "Golden Oaks". (The Kost lot
is Lot 9 and the Engwall lot is Lot 10.) The original lot line was main-
tained until the early 1950's. At that time, Mr. Kost wanted to build
an addition to his garage on the north side of the house that would have
come 12 feet from the side lot line. The Zoning Code at that time required
a 15-foot sideyard setback. Mr. Kost consulted with the City Manager in
� order to determine how he could build closer to the line. The suggestion
given was to purchase property from the then vacant parcel to the north
(1107 Orkla Drive) owned by the Engwalls. A land trade was made between
the Kosts and the Engwalls that gave the Kost lot three feet of additional
width to a point about 85 feet back from Orkla Drive. In return, the
Engwall lot was made three feet wider in the rear portion of their lot.
Since the land trade was made, the Zoning Ordinance has been changed to .
reflect a different sideyard setback. The current ordinance requires
a 12-foot setback (157 of the width of the lot) in the Residential District.
�,
Mr. Kost and Mrs. Engwall would like to go back to the original description
of their property to eliminate the awkward land descriptions and to acknow-
ledge what they consider the "real" property line. In addition, the
three-foot strips are no longer necessary to meet setback requirements.
Recommendation
I recommend approval of the request for waiver of the Platting Ordinance
in order that the two three-foot strips of property may be transferred.
The change is logical and will be beneficial to both landowners.
