man advised that a letter had been received from Henry Hyatt, of Crossroads Develop-
ment Corporation, regarding the proposed assessment against the Oak Glen property in

special assessment would result in a financial burden to the residents of Oak Glen
since it must eventually be passed to the residents in the form of higher rents.
was suggested by Mr. Hoffman that the matter be continued to the next meeting so that
staff could review the cost figures for this construction project.
-Turner was seconded by Member Bredesen, continuing the hearing until October 3, 1983,

*plan, grading plan and utility layout,and building elevations. A preliminary plat
has also been submitted. Staff had noted two concerns: 1) the utility plans sub-
mitted do not adequately address storm water drainage and staff had requested that
a drainage plan be submitted which has now been approved, and 2) the proposed land-
scaping relies heavily on retaining existing trees on the site and staff has re-
quested the landscape plan be revised to identify the trees as to type, location
and size. Approval of the overall development plan and preliminary plat were re-
commended by the Community Development and Planning commission at its August 31,
1983 meeting subject to resolution of staff's concerns and conditioned upon final
platting, subdivision dedication and approval of sewer and water plans by the City

subject property, located in the northwest quadrant of TJ. 78th Street and Cahill
Road, was granted final rezoning to PRD-3 several years ago and an 89-unit condo-
minium plan for the site was approved. On April 18, 1983, the owners requested
an amendment of the approved plan in order to replace five condominium buildings
originally anticipated for the easterly portion of the site with two condominium
buildings. It was proposed that the westerly portion of the site would remain as
previously proposed with three buildings containing a total of 35 units, and that
plan amendment was approved by Council.
now returned requesting a similar plan amendment for the westerly portion of the
site. The request is to replace the three buildings with 5 townhouse clusters -
containing 29 units, which is six fewer than were originally proposed.
unizs would be transferred over to the two buildings on the easterly portion of
the site, increasing the number of units from 27 to 30 units in each building in
order to maintain the original approval which was for 89 units on the site. The
proponents have submitted landscape plans and elevation drawings showing three
story buildings with underground parking on the easterly portion and two story
townhouses on the westerly portion.
garages, however, due to the topography some units would have the garages at first
level. Mr. Hughes pointed out that some of the units proposed for the condominium
bufldings are small, particularly the efficiency units which are 525 square feet
in size and the one bedroom units which measure 760 square feet; however, they
do meet the minimum zoning ordinance requirements.
and Planning Commission recommended approval of the plan amendment conditioned
upon: 1) A developer's agreement covering utilities in the townhouse development,
2) revision of the final plat to reflect the townhouse subdivision of the westerly
one-half of the site, 3) modification of the access drives to the townhouses, and
4) increase of size classificaton for shademaster locust to 2 1/2 inches.
Klodt, Klodt Construction Company, was present and answered questions of William
Harrison, Board of Directors of Windwood Condominiums and Dominic Sciola, 7705
Glasglow Drive, stating that the units would be for sale, not rental; there would
be no discrimination regarding pets and children; that the parking lots would be
screened and that there would be two driveway exists on Delaney Boulevard.

REZONING REQUEST OF JOHNSON BUILDING COMPANY FOR C-2 COMMERCIAL DISTRICT TO PRDz5-
PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (5212 VERNON AV.) CONTINUED TO 11/7/83. Affidavit of
Notice was presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
Mr. Hughes presented the request of Johnson Building Company for rezoning from C-2
Commercial District to PRD-5 Planned Residential District for property generally
located west of Vernon Avenue and south of West 52nd Street (5212 Vernon Avenue),
advising that the subject property measures 3.3 acres in area and is the present
site of the Biltmore Motel. The property presently is zoned C-2 Commercial District.
Adjoining the property to the west are six double bungalows, across the street to the
north is a double bungalow and a four unit building, across the street to the south
is a 60-unit apartment building (24 units/acre) and across the street to the east
is Jerry's shopping area.
to PRD-5 Planned Residential District to construct an 84-unit condominium building
on the site which equates to 24 units per acre. The proposed building is four
stories in height above an underbuilding parking garage.
building parking spaces and .6 surface spaces per dwelling unit are proposed to
meet ordinance requirements. The proposed building for the site appears to meet
ordinance requirements in terms of setback, height, etc. with the exception of the
surface parking in the front yard setback. Mr. Hughes stated that in connection
with the rezoning, the proponents are also requesting the vacation of a portion of
the right of way adjacent to Vernon Avenue. That right of way was originally pro-
vided for a service drive which was never constructed and this vacation would add
about 9,000 square feet to the site. The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject
property for Mixed Uses (office, multiple residential and accessory commercial uses)
and also encourages the reuse of commercial buildings for multiple residential
purposes, particularly within the Grandview commercial area.
reviewed by the Community Development and Planning Commission at its August 31, 1983
meeting. The Commission felt that the land use proposed was excellent. However,
after hearing testimony from the surrounding property owners that there was a traffic
related concern associated with Vernon Avenue as well as some of the side streets in
that traffic from this development would shortcut by way of those streets to Inter-
lachen Boulevard to avoid congestion on Vernon Avenue, the Commission felt that
potential did exist but it was a potential regardless of the development of the site.
The Commission recommended preliminary rezoning be granted but that Council should
consider authorizing a traffic study of the Grandview area in general.
noted that staff felt the size and mass of the building was appropriate, but that
the lot coverage would be 5mproved if reduced to 25% from the 28% proposed. This
could be achieved by reduction of unit sizes'or by consideration of a five story
height for the building.
Johnson Building Company, were present to answer questions.
prior to review of the proposed project by the Planning Commission, they had met with
the neighbors who had voiced their opinions very strongly about traffic problems in
the area. He added that subsequently to that meeting, the project plan was redrawn
to respond to those concerns, and that Johnson Building Company is willing to follow
the direction of the City in relationship to the traffic problems. Persons appear-
ing to express their concern over the traffic which would be generated by the pro-
posed project were: Robert Bryant, 5101 William Avenue, Michael Seiwert, 5224 51st
Street West, Nancy Wilbur, 5100 Bedford Avenue, Jeff Anderson, 5124 William Avenue,
Floyd Johnson, 5137 William Avenue, James Nelson, 5132 William Avenue and George
Frey, 5222 Grandview Lane, who stated there already is a traffic problem on Vernon
Avenue and that he hoped the proposed project would be approved. Mayor Courtney
asked if there was a traffic problem at the present time on Vernon Avenue in that
area. Engineer Hoffman responded that there was and the City should look at the
entire Grand View area, especially keeping in mind possible developments or re-
developments that may be planned. Mr. Rosland added that a traffic engineering firm
has been contacted for an estimate of a traffic study for the entire area. The
estimated cost would be $14,500 and he suggested the cost could be assessed back to
various developments as they occur.

the report before granting preliminary rezoning approval.
that Council should have the traffic study report for review before preliminary
approval.
regardless of this proposed project, Member Bredesen urged that a traffic study be
made so that some solutions could be found to relieve the current problem. He added
that he felt the cost of this study should be born by all who are currently contri-
buting to the traffic density in the area, rather than just developers. Member Turner
stated she agreed that there is a traffic problem in the area now and would support
such a study so that Council could review the results before final approval. In
response to Mr. Klein as to participation by Hennepin County, Mr. Hoffman stated
that the county would be involved in the study and possible solutions to the problem.

a telephone call from Mrs. John Weston, 6516 Indian Hills Road, stating that she
was unable to appear at this meeting and wanted to convey to Council her strong -
opposition to the subdivision. Mrs. Muriel Peterson, the proponent, advised that
she and her husband had lived in their home for the last 35 years and she was re-
questing the subdivision to allow a new house in which she would live following
her husband's death in July, while her son would occupy the present dwelling.
added that she would work with her neighbors and the City staff to meet the
zoning ordinance requirements. Mark Peterson referred to a letter he and his
mother had written to members of the Council which set forth their position in
this matter and read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Peterson in support of the
subdivision. Richard Smith, 6600 Mohawk Trail, advised that: his home is directly
south of the subject property and that he was concerned that if the proposed house
were built on the flat area of the property, it would block his view of Arrowhead
Lake.

Mr. Hughes presented the request of Kenneth "Chip" Glaser for rezoning from PID .
Planned Industrial District to PC-2 Planned Commercial District for property gen-
erally located north of the Radisson South Hotel and west of Highway 100, advising
that the subject property measures 2.75 acres in area. The proponent is requesting

Also included in the petition for rezoning at staff's suggestion is the Minnesota
Federal building and lot located on the easterly one-third of the property for
these reasons: 1) the parcel occupied by Minnesota Federal is below the minimum
