Mr. Rosland presented analysis of assessment showing total construction cost Of

lot against estimated assessment of $458.65 per lot. Mr. Dwayne Elvin, 4140 W.
44th Street, was told by Nr. Hoffman that the new watermain was intended to give
better water pressure to the area because water pressure in the old pipes had
been reduced because of the existence of tuberculation tn the pipes. Mr. Hoffman
added that restrictions at the water meter in some houses had reduced their water
pressure and added that one of the reasons for the improvement was to get improved
water volume and pressure at the fire hydrants. He assured residents that he
would check the complaints mentioned at this meeting. No further objections being
heard, Councilman Richards offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: I RESOLUTION ADOPTING AND CONFIRMING

THE KERR COMPANIES ZONING REQUEST REFERRED BACK TO PLANNING COMMISSION.
vits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed
on file. Mr. Hughes presented the request of the Kerr Companies to rezone, pro-
perty located immediately South of Perkins Restaurant on Eden Ave. from R-1
Single Family Residential District to 0-2 Office District. Mr. Hughes recalled
that this 3.25 acre site was granted First Reading in 1969 for a 14 story apart-
ment building but denied Second Reading when the proponents increased their
request for a 20.story apartment.
the site and to its extreme exposure to T.H. 100. Mr. Hughes advised that the
proposed office building contains five stories and a large surface parking lot
and explained that, because of the triangular shape of the lot, staff believes
that the proposal would probably require front yard setback and parking variances.
Referring to a traffic impact analysis submitted by the proponents, Mr. Hughes
said that the development will generate approximately 1100 trip ends per day,
but disagreed that 90% of the generated traffic will use T.H. 100 and 10% will
use such streets as Vernon Ave. and 50th Street.
of the traffic generated will approach from streets other than T.H. 100.
Hughes said
favorably upon building setback variances due to the unique shape of the parcel,
it would not recommend F.A.R. variances, parking requirement variances or
parking setback variances inasmuch as these variances relzte primarily to the
intensity of use of the site rather than to site conditions. Mr. Robert Martin-
son and Mr. David F?amer, representing The Kerr Companies, reviewed their pro-
posal and explained their traffic impact study.

expressed concern about the praposed variances and concurred with the Mayor that
more must be known about possible changes in road patterns for access to the build-
ing and whether additional sewer and watermains would be needed.
that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission for additional input
from others in the community, to study the impact on the existing sewer and water
systems, to get additional facts on the Willson Road traffic and to determine if
a single access to the building will be appropriate.

Mr. Hughes presented the request of the Gittleman Corporation for zoning property
generally located at the Southwest quadrant of Cahill Road and Dew@ Hill Road
from R-1 Single Family Residential District to PRD-3 Planned Residential District,
advisicg that it 5s proposed to construct three condominium build5ngs contain-
ing 159,units (7 units per acre) on this 24 acre tract of land. Plr. Hughes recalled
that the Court affirmed the action of the City in 1975 denying a proposal to
construct two 5 story buildings on the site.

exceptional job irr responding to many of the objections and concerns of the City

that he has negotiated with Mr. Foster Green for land to the East of the site
which he will ixorporate with his overall development. He added that 71% of
tha site will be left in open space. Mr. Garfield Lovaas, 7409 Coventry Way,
referred to the petition of neighbors to vacate the portion of Delaney Blvd. from

TRACT A, R.S.S. 1365 PROPOSED COMMERCIAL USE REFERRED RACK TO PLANNING COMNISSION.
Mr. Rosland referred to a memorandum from Mr. Hughes with reference to the pro-
posed commercial use of the Easterly portion of Tract A, R.L.S. 1365, located
East of the Junior Achievement Building on 69th St. and Valley View Road.
Council was reminded that when the Council granted a lot division for the subject
tract in March, 1977, for the construction of the Junior Achievement Building,
concern was expresed about the potential use of the zenlaining 45,000 square foot
parcel , and that Dayton-Hudson Corporation,, the property owner had pledged that
the parcel would bemarketed for only.non-commercial uses.
Dayton-Hudson has recently entered into a purchase agreement for the parcel with
Spa Petite, which company proposes to construct a two story building on the site
with a health spa on the first level and its corporate offices on the second
level. The health spa would be open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 P.m. and would serve
approximately 200 ?atrons daily. Mr, Hughes pointed out that, while the site is
zoned C-3, the health spa use is less intense than most uses allowed in the C-3
District, and expresed concern that the health spa could vacate the building and
a much more intense use could be established
greatly expanded (creating a more intense use) and still be in conformance with
the zoning ordinance. Mr. Emmet Albergetti, representing Dayton-Hudson, confirmed
Mr. Hughes' statement that Dayton-Hudson and Spa Petite have agreed to enter into
a deed restriction regulating the re-use of the proposed building in the event
of its vacation and also regulating future expansions to the building. LUso urg-
ing that the proposed commercial use be approved for the site was a represeatative
of Spa Petite.
Road should be notified of a hearing on the matter. Councilman Richards also sug-
gested that no action should be taken until a decision is made relative to a bank
which is proposed to be located on the Southeast corner of the Southdale Office
Building site. Councilman Richards then moved that the matter be referred back
to the Planning Commission and that notices be sent to Southdale Road residents.
