5. #07 -3257 BPS PROPERTIES, 95 LEAF STREET — SUBDIVISION: SKETCH PLAN
NEW LOTS
George. Stickney, BPS Properties, was present.
Curtis stated the applicant is requesting a sketch plan review for a 39 -acre parcel proposed to be divided
into 15 single - family residential lots, a private road and a 5.44 total acre park outlot. The lots would be
served by a new private road with a cul -de -sac extending westerly from Leaf Street and all lots would be
served by private septic systems and wells.
At the January Planning Commission meeting the following points were raised:
1. How to address preservation of open space along Luce Line.
2. Who would have enforcement powers for tree removals, etc., within the conservation areas.
3. Covenants for conservation.
4. No build zones for homes and outbuildings in order to preserve views from off of the
property and from neighbors.
5. Should the cul -de -sac provide a "future" connection through to the property to the west or to
Watertown Road.
6.. PRD — benefits to the City.
7. Fire safety and length of the cul -de -sac.
Staff recommends the following issues be discussed:
1. This property is outside the MUSA, and while the applicant discussed the possibility of sewer •
with Staff, it was Staff's conclusion that a MUSA .amendment to allow this to develop at rural
densities with sewer would likely be rejected by the Metropolitan Council, which expects all
new sewered development to meet a three -units per acre standard.
2. Because developing new lots with area, less than two acres can only be done via the PRD
process, this proposal must be a PRD per Zoning Code Section 78 -601 through 78 -609. From
Staff's perspective, there must be significant value to the City to allow the PRD process for
any given proposal, particularly in rural areas where sewer is not available.
3. The Rural Oasis Study and Conservation Design Master Planning process has been
formulated to help determine on a case -by -case basis what values should be preserved. The
purpose of the Conservation Design is summarized in the draft Conservation Design
ordinance that is pending.
Curtis stated no formal action is required by the City Council on this sketch plan.
Stickney addressed the Council regarding his proposal, noting that all lots did meet the two -acre
minimum required for this district until the conservation areas were incorporated. the
stated overall
the site provides some nice buffer areas to the adjoining properties but pointed out the Gronberg property
would have the least amount of buffer between it and the development. Stickney stated one of their
objectives is to enhance the natural vegetation and wildlife in the area through covenants and
conservation areas.
Stickney displayed the preliminary sketch for this development that depicted the various lots, the
conservation areas and buffer zones that exist. Stickney pointed out the various areas they are proposing
would be enhanced with additional plantings. Stickney stated there would be a no building area •
designated for Lots 5 and 6, which would be governed by covenants. Stickney stated they would like to
construct a woodchip trail down to the Luce Line, with trees and other plantings being planned for that

Stickney stated he could extend the lots up towards Watertown Road, which would result in all the lots
meeting the two -acre minimum, but he would prefer to leave the buffer areas more intact and have some
smaller lots interspersed with the larger lots.
Murphy inquired whether the developer could better achieve his goals of preserving the buffer areas by
reducing the number of lots to 12.
Stickney stated reducing the lots down to 12 would result in the price of the lots going up and that 15 lots
would create a nice neighborhood. Stickney stated he did start with 16 lots and reduced it to 15.
Murphy stated the idea behind the conservation design standards was to help preserve the natural
topography and that he would suggest the developer consider reducing the number of lots.
Stickney stated on some of the lots there would be covenants restricting the number of trees that can be
removed and that there would also be a requirement that the removed trees be replaced two to one with
six -inch trees.
•
McMillan noted the creek through this site flows into Stubbs Bay and that any improvements that can be
done along that creek are important. McMillan stated she is not comfortable with going under the two -
acre minimum since these lots would have private septic and that it might also be difficult to meet some •
of the setbacks. McMillan stated she would also like to see the lots meet the 200 -foot lot width
requirement.
Bremer stated she is in agreement with the comments of the other council members and that Lot 3 is a
good example of something that is shoe - horned in and perhaps could be reconfigured. Bremer stated she
is not as concerned that the lots meet the two -acre minimum but that she would like to see the houses
staggered more along the road. Bremer stated in her view there is a way to reconfigure the lots to meet
the two -acre minimum and that it might be necessary to reduce the number of lots.
White commented he also would like to see the number of lots reduced and meet the two -acre minimum..
Murphy stated it appears that the Council would like to see the lots meet the two -acre minimum, a
reduction in the number of lots, and an attempt to meet the 200 -foot lot width minimum. Murphy thanked -
the developer for taking steps to try to preserve the natural area as much as possible.
Moorse recommended the applicant verify that there is ample room for the septic sites on all the lots:

Event: 2007 Spring Parade of Homes
Location: 3565 Frederick Street
Date: February 10 —March 18, 2007
Time: Noon — 6:00 p.m., Thursdays — Sundays
Janet Malik, 2469 Carmen Street, addressed the City Council regarding the concerns she has with the
conduct of Minnetonka Custom Homes during thel construction of the home located at 3565 Frederick
Street. Malik stated construction vehicles have repeatedly driven over their lawn, tearing up the grass and
topsoil and running over items on their yard. When they attempted to mark the edges of their property,
construction crew members pulled out the stakes and tossed them back into their yard and then continued
to drive on both the stakes and the lawn.
Malik indicated they did attempt to speak with a i

McMillan inquired whether the license application should be tabled rather than denied.
Bremer stated she would concur that it should be tabled rather than denied.
Murphy stated he would be in favor of tabling it.
Moorse noted the date of the event is prior to the next council meeting. Moorse stated one option would
be to approve the license application with conditions.
Bremer stated she has routinely walked by this residence and that she has noticed that the construction
trucks seem to stay rather late. Bremer stated she would be in favor of some type of conditional approval.
McMillan encouraged the Maliks to contact the police if a problem should arise during the Parade of
Homes.
Bremer commented this type of license application should come before the Council earlier in the process.
McMillan recommended some type of time deadline be considered.
Attorney Brokl stated the City Council does have the right to require an escrow to cover any damages that
might occur to either city property or neighboring properties as a result of the license being issued. Brokl •
stated granting the certificate of occupancy could also be delayed.
Michael Malik expressed concerns that the construction truck could potentially have caused some type of
damage to the water shut -off valve and that he has a concern the trucks might run over the shut -off valve
again.
Janet Malik commented there should be some type of check and balance system in place to ensure that the
builders respect the neighboring properties.
Bremer requested the builder be provided a copy of the minutes from tonight's meeting. Bremer stated
she has a concern that the builder has not adequately responded to the concerns raised by the Maliks. '
Murphy recommended the building inspector visit the site once again and speak with the builder.
White inquired whether the City has .encountered problems in the past with this builder.
Gaffron stated this builder has constructed some homes in the past and there have been a few issues.
Gaffron inquired whether there is curb and gutter along this street.
Janet Malik stated there is not. Malik stated they did erect some markers delineating their property but
that some members of the construction crew removed the markers.
Murphy withdrew his motion to deny the license application. •

obvious impacts on 1480's access route and may require minor changes where its driveway would enter
from the south end of Outlot B.
The Planning Commission discussed the historic public versus private use of the portion of the road
proposed to be vacated, and the fact that it is a formally dedicated public roadway since 1903, the public
has really not had comfortable access to this portion of the road for many years. Because the road does
not abut the lake nor provide direct access to the lake and because the road is not a through road but
merely provides access to the three end properties, there was some debate as to what are the real public
values of the road. There was some discussion about whether the mere ability to drive along the shore
and view the lake is a public value that would be lost and whether or how the City might be compensated
for that loss.
The 20 -foot corridor as it exists today was dedicated to the use of the public forever in 1903 in the plat of
"Rearrangement of Orono Point. This 1903 plat formalized or extinguished certain prior road easements
and/or street dedications that had been granted with the plat of "Orono Point" in 1888. The 1982 platting
of Lots 7 and 8 "Rearrangement of Orono Point" into Lots'l, 2, and 3, Bracketts Point, made use of the
dedicated road as platted in 1903 and did not change the status of that public road.
Gaffron noted the fire marshal has not yet reviewed the plans.
Gaffron indicated the applicant has stated they would be removing substantial driveway hardcover from
near the lake, replacing it further from the lake, relocating the sewer lines under the proposed road, and
eliminate the existing sewer connection encroachments. The applicant has provided a revised sketch
illustrating additional driveway layout options for consideration.
Stickney illustrated the proposed lots, outlot, and proposed roadway for Bracketts Point. Stickney noted
the current driveway is approximately 12 feet wide. Stickney stated the proposed roadway would be
adequate for emergency vehicles and would allow for some landscaping to serve as a buffer to the
adjoining properties. Stickney noted he has not shown these plans to the Hendricks.
Stickney stated there is a considerable amount of hardcover located near the lake in the 0 -75 foot zone
that they would be willing to remove as part of this lot line rearrangement and return it to green space.
McMillan inquired who would maintain the tennis court on Outlot A.
Stickney stated there would be a shared use agreement and maintenance agreement between the three
properties.
White inquired how wide the roadway is proposed to be.
Stickney stated it is 13 feet wide and that they could provide wider sections at different points.
McMillan inquired whether that outlot would be considered private or public.
Stickney stated the City has not maintained the 20 -foot easement from the northwest corner of 1450

McMillan stated the vacating of a public right -of -way deserves serious consideration and requires some
justification. McMillan indicated she is only aware of one instance where the City has vacated a public
right -of -way, and in that situation it was done for the public good. McMillan stated she sees some trade-
off with the removal of the hardcover under the new proposal but that in her view the right -of -way should

Bremer stated she is in agreement with Council Member McMillan and Mayor White but that the Council
needs to be reasonable in its requirements and that she does not want to see a 22, 24 or 26 foot road in this

on the roadway. Bremer stated the removals in the 0 -75 foot zone are fabulous and that she likes the
relocation of the road, but if the public works department would like to see the roadway at 28 feet wide,
she might change her mind about leaving the roadway public.

McMillan stated her initial thought was not to change the roadway but that she is willing to look at other
options. McMillan stated the public roadway has existed in this area for a long time and that it should
remain public. McMillan commented she would hate to see the current residence removed given the
historical nature of the existing residence.
Stickney stated they did consider remodeling the residence but that there is a considerable amount of
hardcover in the 0 -75 foot zone. Stickney stated the house was on the market for a year and a half and
that everyone who looked at the house wanted to tear it down and-rebuild. Stickney stated they are
looking at the option of moving the residence to another site.
Bremer stated she would like to hear the comments from the neighbor at 1.480.
Stickney stated the new house would have to be built further away from the lake under the new proposal
and that thousands of feet of hardcover in the 0 -75 foot zone would also be removed. Stickney stated they
would like to preserve the cabin if possible. Stickney stated in his opinion he should be able to construct
a roadway 16 feet wide that would serve both the public and the private residents in this area.
Kellogg commented it is likely the fire marshal would require the road to be a minimum of 20 feet wide.
