(#447) I 0 MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON APRIL 23, 1979 Page 2 The City engineer stated that the sewer and water capacities are okay; he recommended taking the drainage and utility easements surrounding each lot; would require a lot grading plan; would need more information regarding the proposed retention pond and storm water retention facilities, and would also require a drainage easement for the wetlands to the wect on the Tonka Toy Property. Frahm stdted concern regarding the drainage problems already existing in the neighborhood and the effect this development would have on this already existing problem. He was also concerned that the development was within the required 1,000 foot setback from the lakeshore at three points. Hammerel moved to table the P.R.D. application until further study of the drainage problems and the traffic Impact could be completed, receipt of recomnendations from the Police Department and the Park Commission, and to give staff time to review the lakeshore setbacks.

Meeting 8:25 P.M. - 9:00 P,M (#466) rr tT" MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON APRIL 23, 1979 Page 3 The existing road was the main concern of the public in attendance. The maintenance of the road ends at Mr. Boer's driveway, it does not have an appropriate cul-de-sac, and is eroding. Mr.- Boer did not feel that the access was a "legal access". Mabusth stated we would have to have the City attorney address this issue. The City engineer is advising that the City make the road public up to the cul-de-sac. The general consensus was that the road be moved towards the center with a cul-de-sac just below the building site on Lot 3. Lot 2 would have a lip coming down to the cul-de-sac to provide access for that lot. GARY PETERSEN 1340 Baldur Park Rd. SUBDIVISION/VARIANCE Public Info. Meeting (Cont.) #466 O Hurr moved to table the subdivision request to give the developer an opportunity to meet the City engineer's requirements (repositioning the road to the center and moving the cul-de-sac to a safer location), to address the Planning Commission's concerns regarding hardcover and the 75* lakeshore setback and to resolve the questions regarding the legal access. Motion seconded by Hammerel. Vote: Ayes (7), Nays (0). Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Oberhauser was present. He felt Wayzata was taking a wait and see attitude towards the project as the major impact would be on Orono. The main problems is that under current zoning, attached single family dwellings cannot be done in a 1-acre zone. It was questioned whether the open space land could be deeded to the units with an easement granted to the golf course as the Planning Commission consensus was that they had a hard time dealing with open space use of golf course lands and would feel more comfortable with that kind of solution. The Wayzata City engineer's main concern with the road was its steepness. The access would be the same as the Country Club. Mr. Oberhauser did not feel the lot was suitable for single family residential particularly pertaining to the views. After much discussion, the Planning Commission decided to vote separately on the issues concerning this application. WAYZATA COUNTRY CLUB 200 Wayzata Boulevard SUBDIVISION/REZONING/ VARIANCE (#440) MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON APRIL 23, 1979 Page 4 Wilson moved to recommend rezoning from RR-IB (2-acre) to R-IA (1-acre) of a rectangular parcel (approximately 13 acres) subject to verification of sewer and water availability. Motion seconded by Hurr. Vote: Ayes (7), Nays (0). Wilson moved to rec;>inmend development of a new zoning classification (exact requirements to be established through detailed study if the new zoning classification is pursued - for example some requirements could be: 1-acre, sewer and water availability, located on a major arterial road, consideration of the*impact on the neighborhood, etc.) which would permit attached single family residential units. Motion seconded by Frahm. Vote: Ayes (7), Nays (0). Adams moved to approve the use of the golf course for the open space requirement, but the open space must be part and parcel of the total land (approximately 13 acres) and all of the property must be available for use by residents thereon. Motion seconded by Hammerel. Vote: Ayes (5), Nays (2). Frahm and Hurr - They felt the using of golf course land to satisfy the open space requirements set a bad precedent. They had trouble using land to satisfy one requirement while really using it for another purpose, they would have been more comfortable with deeding the land to the units with an easement to the golf course.

Mr. and Mrs. Nyquist, 1432 Baldur Park Road, were present and stated that they had no objections to the proposed addition. The main issue was increasing the amount of hardcover within 75' of the lake. It was also discussed that if the lots were combined the hardcover variance would be less than the 7% requested. R. M. MOLDE 1428 Baldur Park Rd. VARIANCE (#475) Hamnerel moved to approve the variance request siting the hardship of the configuration of the existing structure, that the addition will not extend any farther toward the lake, and the size will not effect drainage. Motion seconded by Wilson. Vote: Ayes (5), Nays (2). m -ti Hannah felt that since he has been on the Commission, generally the policy has been whenever possible not to grant building within 75* of the lake. Hurr felt the approval was inconsistent with previous Planning Consaission decisions. mf MINUTES OF A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON APRIL 23, 1979 ^ Page 6 SKETCH PLAN REVIBf - Ann Niforopulos was present.
