John Miller, 1025 Unity Avenue North, owner of property north of site, stated he circulated
a petition which was submitted to the Planning Commission opposing the project. He
stated most of his neighbors did not feel that this was the proper use of the land, they like
the large lots, privacy, owners have lived in their homes a long time, expressed concern
over potential water problems.
Steve Yingst, 900 North Lilac Drive, stated the neighborhood has been very stable and has
2nd generation of families still living on the property, expressed concern over level of
traffic, Highway 100 frontage road, already sees a lot of traffic even though it is a dead
end, if project goes ahead it will limit the scope of what can be done with his property, feels
the neighborhood should have a say in what goes on around them, feels all three parcels
should be combined into one parcel, they should wait until Highway 100 reconstruction is
completed, if the parcels are combined a number of single family homes could be built and
that development of townhomes will change the character of the neighborhood.

was because it was a dead end, expressed concern over the removal of trees on the site,
and property taxes.
Joyce Miller, 1025 Unity Avenue North, expressed concern over high density, traffic
problems, feels the change will effect the value of their property, property taxes, being built
too close to their property, water levels, and would like to see single family homes built
there.
Sid Robin, 921 Toledo Avenue North, agrees with previous speakers, expressed concern
over off-street parking for proposal, expressed concern for quality of homes and transient
property owners, value of property, stated single family homes would be better for the area.
Steve Robin, 5901 Laurel Avenue, parents live at 921 Toledo Avenue North, agrees with
the previous speakers, feels people built there because of low density, feels the property

purchase the homes, asked about the covenants for the property, traffic patterns, highway
noise, and higher density, and doesn't feel the development is consistent with the
neighborhood.

Public Hearings: Amendment to Comprehensive Land Use Map - 912 North Lilac Drive
Ordinance #150 - Rezoning to Multiple Family (M-1) Zoning District - 912 North Lilac Drive
and Preliminary Design Plan Approval PUD #73 Lilac Court Townhomes Continued
MOVED by Johnson, seconded by Micks and motion carried to deny the amendment to the
comprehensive land use map for 917 North Lilac Drive for the following reasons:
1. The time is not ripe for amending the comprehensive land use map. There are two
other underdeveloped or undeveloped parcels adjacent to the subject property. It
would be better planning to consider all of these parcels as a package when
considering the amendment to the comprehensive land use map for this area.
2. There is some uncertainty regarding future frontage road width and alignment due to
the future upgrading of T.H. 100. Until these plans are finalized, changing the uses of
this property to a more intense usage is inappropriate due to the need to properly
serve this more intense land use.
Upon a roll call vote, the vote was as follows:
ANDERSON - YES JOHNSON - YES LESUER - YES MICKS - YES RUSSELL - YES
The Council did not consider Resolution 96-77, Resolution for Amendment to the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map Respecting Property at 912 North Lilac Drive.
Allen Barnard reviewed the procedure for consideration of Ordinance #150.

Ordinance #150 - Rezoning to Multiple Family (M-1) Zoning District - 912 North Lilac Drive
and Preliminary Design Plan Approval - PUD #73 - Lilac Court Townhomes - Continued
MOVED by Johnson, seconded by LeSuer and motion carried unanimously that the
findings for denial of Ordinance #150 are as follows:
1. The rezoning is not consistent with the existing comprehensive plan.

residential streets and have a negative impact on the neighborhood.
3. Plans for Highway 100 and the frontage road which will serve this area have not been
resolved.

PUD #73.

conditions:
1. Prior to approval of the final plat, the City Engineer shall make a determination as to
whether the area of the Harold Avenue cul-de-sac must be included in the plat.
2. Prior to approval of the final plat, the City Engineer shall make a final determination
as to appropriate location of easements.
3. If stated as a requirement by Hennepin County, an additional seven feet of right-of-
way shall be dedicated all along Glenwood Avenue.

Page 13
Public Hearing - Preliminary Plat Approval - ValleySic uare 3rd Addition - Continued
MOVED Micks, seconded by Johnson and motion carried to approve the preliminary plat
approval for Valley Square 3rd Addition subject to the following conditions:
1. The City Engineer should make a determination as to all permanent easement
locations before the plat returns to the City Council for its final approval.
2. There should be no park or storm water management dedication in connection with
the plat, but the City Council should reserve the right to revisit the matter prior to final
disposition of any land within the plat that is currently owned by the City or HRA.
3. The City Council should grant a variance to allow Maren Lane to remain at its current
width of fifty feet. The following findings should be part of the record:
a. Maren Lane is an already -platted street necessary for carrying utilities and
gaining access to and from adjacent properties but of minimal use to the general
public and with a planned life span of limited duration.
b. Widening Maren Lane would result in the loss of parking from one or both strip
shopping centers along Wnnetka Avenue and would either bring the right-of-way
undesirably close to Bassett Creek or have a potentially negative impact on the
vacant supermarket property.
c. The special circumstances of this subdivision proposal arise from its intended
purpose of providing an identified public benefit in the form of clearly dedicated
public rights-of-way, clean and simple property descriptions, erasure of historical
clouds on the titles of certain properties, and reduction of existing
nonconformities on the strip center properties to better position them for long
term survival in case the HRA is ultimately unable to complete a major
redevelopment project in Area B of Valley Square.
d. The nature of these special circumstances make it unreasonable for the City to
adhere strictly to the rules for granting variances as established in City Code
Section 12.54, and in effect make it of benefit to the public welfare for the City to
grant a variance from the standard variance requirements.
e. The variance to maintain Maren Lane at fifty feet in width will not be detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to any property in the neighborhood of Maren
Lane.
Upon a roll call vote, the vote was as follows:
