BRAEMAR PARC PRELIMINARY PLAT CONTINUED TO SEPTEEIBER 17, 1973. Mr. Luce presented
Braemar Parc for prelimlnary plat approval, noting that this matter had been
continued from August 6, 1973. He described the location of the proposed four
lot plat as being generally located at the East corner of Valley View Road and
Mark Terrace Drive and advised that Planning Commission had recommended denial
of the plat because of the inadequacy of streets and roads and because the shape
of the site, including'its topographic relief,would preclude development to occur
on the property without extensive modification to the site.
mission had also expressed concern about preservation of vegitation on the site,
and believed that a three lot plat would preserve the nature of the site to a
greater,degree. Mr. James Otto, contract purchaser of the property, said that
.the property is 61,500 square feet and that the average lot would be 15,450
square feet with 400 feet of frontage on Mark Terrace Drive and 340 feet of
frontage on Valley View.Road. He said that he believes that the plat would be.
better developed with four lots than with three lots and described the elevation
of the proposed lots, stating that all lots would be ideal for walkouts. Mr,
Luce said that, according to plans previously presented to him, frontand rear
yard setbacks would require variances and that if the property was platt8d into
four lots, the lots would have to be triangular in shape, causing loss of flexi-
bility in locating houses to preserve the environment. Mr. Luce added that Mr.
Otto knew before he purchased the property that only a three lot plat had been
recommended.

He said that he did not believe that it would make much difference whether or
not the haat shodld be developed with three or four lots. He said that Bror
Road was only intended to serve Dahlquist Addition and that he did'not see any
reason for additional roadways. Mr. Cardarelle said that he would like to check

said that most of the trees would be lost, even with a three lot plat.

he said had been destroyed because of erosion caused by improper grading when
an excavation for a house had been started last January.
that the same problem would exist with the property in question and that this
property also would have to be abandoned.
it would be an immoral act on the part of the CounLil to tell the owner that he
could not develop his property and suggested that :Eir. Ferguson buy the property
himself if he wanted it kept in its natural state. Councilman Johnson's motion
was then seconded by Councilman Van Valkenburg and carried continuing the
matter to September 17, 1973, in order to get additional information from Mr.
Cardarelle before making any decision.

August 28,' 1973; and
VHEREAS, Edina, on July 18, 1973, had an opportunity to participate in a pre-
sentation hosted by the Planning Commission of the City of Minnetonka, and the
following comments regarding the proposed plan were made at that time;
T... *The tdaffic estimates, particularly at the Highway 18 and Dominick Road
interchange, appear unrealisticly low and do not prpperly reflect the
tremendously high land use proposals for Section 36.
The plan proposes a major diversified center in Section 36 and its environs.
Thst proposal does not reflect the goals of the Metropolitan Council's
center plan or the development pattern of the adjacent land in the Village
of Edina.

tion of the 'proposed interchange at Highway 18 and Dominick Road, and of
Edina's internal roadway system.
The trail corridor shown in the Village of Edina does not exist nor has it
been fgoposed near the shown location.
Edina is concerned by the lack of compatibility between the plan definition
of high density (9 units per acre) and the zoning code definition of high
density (80funits per acre). This significant difference will be of major
importance for Section 36 land use and traffic.
