Motion carried unanimously. Good Ridge Acres Perliminary Plat Continued Public Hearing (Cornm. #8-79-1) This item will be removed from the agenda until such time as the developer comes in with a revised preliminary plat. Dale Mashuga Variance (Comm. #4-80-3) This item was approved by the City Council on April 15, 1980; therefore it will be deleted from the agenda. Ordinance 8, Section 5.02 Amendment (Connn. #3-80-8) A public hearing will be held on May 13, 1980 regarding this item. The following items were brought to the attention of the Connnission by Chairperson Bosell: 1. Special City Council meeting April 24, 1980 regarding rezoning of the Urban Service Area. The Planning and Zoning Connnission is invited to attend. 2. Flood Plain Ordinance - Mark Schumacher will mail copies of a model ordinance to the Connnissioners. This will be on the agenda May 13, 1980. Rolling Creek Trails Preliminary Plat Continued Public Hearing (Connn. #10-79-2) Chairperson Bosell reopened the public hearing. o Jim Merila, Merila-Hansen, Inc. - stated they went before the Park Board on April 17, 1980. The Park Board made a reconnnendation to the City Council to accept cash in lieu of land. The plat will consist of 44 - 2~ acre lots. They left a 4~ acre park in the southwest corner of the plat, which is south of the creek. If the City Council will not accept that as a park, they are going to ask that it be an out lot. The rationale behind that is that if the property south of their plat is rezoned industrial, this out lot would blend in with that property. Zilla Court is in excess of 500 feet and they would ask for a variance on that. Mr. Merila connnented that they have received a letter of approval 1. d r\ P ann~ng an Z010 April 22, 1980 Page 2 Comn~ion Meeting (j o /-j from Anoka County; however, the Coon Creek Watershed has not reviewed the plat as yet. ~-/ It will be on their agenda April 28, 1980. Mark Schumacher, T.K.D.A. - reviewed his letter of April 22 regarding the plat. Items that have not been taken care of include: 1) additional soil borings will need to be provided; 2) The Zilla Court cul-de-sac exceeds the maximum length of 500 feet required by ordinance; 3) Lots 1 and 6 of Block 1 have less than 300 feet of frontage at the front setback line; 4) the proposed future cul-de-sac between lots 4 and 9 of block 1 should be connected to the Zilla Court cul-de-sac; 5) the 2 proposed future cul-de-sacs in Block 4 should be connected. Chairperson Bosell questioned whether Lot 6 of Block 1 has 39,000 square feet. Mark Schumacher calculated it as being short of 39,000 square feet. Commissioner Anstett asked if the developer had found out anything about the potential hazardous waste that was mentioned at the last meeting. Lee Ecklund, Monite Glue Company - stated that the material is a base for glue and they have nothing more at this time. Chairperson Bosell mentioned that when this plat goes to the City Council the potential hazardous waste should be mentioned. Mr. Merlia presented a letter of consent from Robert Mack, the fee owner of this property. He asked what the Commission felt about the park in the southern part of the plat. Commissioner Retzlaff stated that we have to abide by the Park Board's decision. If that property is dedicated to the city as park land, it can never be sold. Mr. Merila stated that if the City Council would not accept it as park land, they would make it a part of the lot north of the creek. Mr. Merila asked that the Commission make a recommendation to the City Council tonight. Chairperson Bosell stated that before it can go to the Council a letter has to be received from the Coon Creek Watershed. Mr. Merila asked that the Commission make it a part of the recommendation that approval of the plat is contingent upon the Coon Creek Watershed's approval. Commissioner Retzlaff stated that there are too many contingencies to make a recommendation. Mr. Merila - stated that the preliminary plat was filed on March 14, 1980 and according to our ordinance, the City Council has to act on it within 60 days. Chairperson Bosell commented that if we send this to the City Council and they send it back to Planning and Zoning, the developer will have to wait 5 more weeks for approval. If the plat comes back to the Commission in 2 weeks as a continued agenda item, it will go to the Council on June 1,.1980. Commissioner Retzlaff informed the developer that he could bypass the Planning and Zoning Commission and go directly to the City Council. CJ Lee Ecklund - doesn't believe that any of the items still required are insurmountable. They have been reasonable and have been working with the Commission every step of the way. MOTION by Retzlaff, seconded by Kishel to close the Public Hearing. Moticn carried unanimously. The following are the items still open on the Planning and Zoning level with regard to Planning and Zor""g April 22, 1980 ~ Page 3 COllIlII"-<;ion Meeting U () o '~) "-., this plat: 1. Frontages on Lots 1 and 6 of Block 1, Lots 3, 4, 7 and 10 of Block 5 need to be shown at the tangent line; 2. Lot 4 of Block 1 - the dimension does not show up on the plat; 3. The radius on Lots 1 and 6 does not show up; 4. Lot 8, Block 4 does not have a frontage dimension; 5. Lots 14, 13 and 12 of Block 5 - drainage easement has to be shown; 6.

(Recess 8:45 - Reconvene 9:02) Hawk Ridge East Preliminary Plat Public Hearing (C011llIl. #3-80-1) Chairperson Bosell opened the public hearing. Lary Carlson, 433 Jackson Street, Anoka. MN - presented a letter to the Commission regard- ing the connection of the cul-de-sacs. Items mentioned by Mr. Carlson were: there is not that much maintenance for a cul-de-sac; the cost to put the road through would be approximately $25,000; by having the 2 cul-de-sacs (Swallow Street) gives greater utilization of the land as this runs through a wildlife area; it reduces the cost of development (the cost wo~ld increase $640.00 per lot to put the road through); the area they would have to go through is very wet; normally homes built on cul-de-sacs are better quality and the people maintain them better. C011llIlissioner Retzlaff and C011llIlissioner Anstett concur with Mr. Carlson. Mark Schumacher - doesn't have a problem with the Uplander and Osage cul-de-sacs. How- ever, the Swallow cul-de-sacs are not in the interest of street circulation, maintenance and access by emergency vehicles. Chairperson Bosell stated that it was the concensus of the C011llIlission that the cul-de-sacs should be labelled Court or Circle or something other than street to eliminate confusion by the Fire Department, Police Department, etc. Discussion was on the exception shown on the plat. According to the ordinance, all of the contiguous property must be platted. Mr. Carlson was asked to call the City Attorney for his opinion on this. /) ,-.... Items that need to be shown on the plat are: 1) tangent lot widths on the cul-de-sacs; 2) basement elevation on Lot I, Block 4; 3) if the exception is not made a part of the plat, a new legal description needs to be drawn; 4) certification of Surveyor needs to be shown on the plat; 5) names of existing streets and type of surfacing needs to be shown on the plat; 6) water supply - should be shown as individual wells; 7) radius on corners onto the county roads needs to be shown; 8) drainage calculations and grading plan for the low areas have to be shown. .
