PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS FOR MILLER ADDITION. Hember Richards
asked that he be excused from the meeting during the consideration of the Miller
Addition Plat because of possible conflict of interest.
recalled that the hearing for preliminary plat approval for the Miller Addition
had been continued from the meeting of June 4, 1984, and that the Council had
requested that additional information be submitted concerning landscaping, topography
of the subject property and surface water drainage and possible access to the
property from the Blake School property in Hopkins.
for a four-lot single family subdivision of property west of Dearborn Street and
north of Belmore Lane. Mr. Hughes advised that he had talked with Bill Craig,
Hopkins City Manager, who had explained.that while there is no access.proposed at
this time from the southwest corner of the Blake School property in connection with
theii_imprQY~menfs_under consideration now,..BlGke School has expressed an interest ~ -
in having a bus exit only on the westerly side of their property onto First Street.
Mr. Craig pointed out that the City of Hopkins is very interested in preserving the
bike trail presently located on the old trolley line right of way. Mr. Hughes then
presented a graphic showing the relationship between the proposed Miller-plat and
the proposed Blake Woods plat, a four-lot subdivision, located on the east side of
Dearborn Street. He noted that the Blake Woods subdivision would-be accessed by
means of a short cul-de-sac directly opposite o€.the cul-de-sac that would serve
the Miller property.
property which is located between the Miller Addition plat and Blake Woods.
Mr. Hughes noted that the Blake Woods addition is proposing the vacation of the
Dearborn right.of .way north of the proposed cul-de-sacs, the vacation of Spruce
Road abutting the subdivision on the northerly side and the vacation of the alley
on the easterly side of the property, with the vacated land being incorporated into
the plat of Blake Woods. As noted in the staff report, if the access to the Miller
Addition by right of Gay across lots ,on the west side of Dearborn Street not owned
by the Millers is not resolved,it is recommended that the northerly portion of
Dearborn not be vacated as it would preclude access from the north to the Miller
property.
the Blake Woods plat are needed. Should the City decide to improve Dearborn Street
and Spruce Road to provide access for the Miller property, staff believes that no
cul-de-sac should be platted in Blake Woods and instead the subject property should

simply be replatted into four rectangular lots which front on Dearborn. Jim
Miller, the proponent, advised that he had talked with Gordon Swiggam of Blake
School who confirmed that at the present time Blake School had no plans for a
new access for the school. Mr. Miller pointed out that both the Community
Planning and Development Commission and the City staff had approved the pro-
posed access to the plat from Dearborn Street as the best access to the property.
He then presented the following exhibits: 1) cross-section plan illustrating
elevation of a home built on Lot 3 with rear walk-out, 2) preliminary develop-
ment plan showing possible house locations and grades, and 3) a grading plan
showing probable cuts necessary for Dearborn and Spruce Streets to provide a
northerly access. Len Kraemar, Barr Engineering Company, explained that if
the alternative access from the north was constructed, there would be a signi-
ficant cut through the hill which would greatly impact the Kuenzlie property.
John Miller submitted that the subdivision is a reasonable development of the
property and urged that the'council grant approval.
opposition to the proposed Miller Addition plat were Craig Postier, 311 Harrison
Avenue; Maxine Woodstrom, 307 Harrison Avenue; Gail and Robert Baker, 6600
Belmore Lane and C. M. Simonson, 305 Harrison Avenue. In response to the
question of soil stability for the proposed houses, Len Kraemar explained that
soil borings would be taken before any construction is started and, if necessary,
the buildings would be piled. With regard to access alternatives, Member Turner
asked if there is any other undeveloped land in the area that may have an access
problem if Spruce Road is not constructed.

and would require a variance. Also, there would be a negative aspect in that
the lots would be bordered by two streets.
lots then at 69 feet in depth would be even more substandard. Member Schmidt
asked what the building procedure would be to insure that piling would be used
if necessary. Mr. Hughes pointed out that under the Uniform Building Code
the builder would be required to submit soil borings which would determine
the type of construction that would be suitable to comply with.the Code.
Member Turner submitted that the critical issue regarding the proposed plat is
the access, that the proposed lot sizes are consistent with the neighborhood,and
that though the drainage questions are serious ones they can be corrected.

at the regular meeting of the City Council of July 2, 1984, be and is hereby

by.the proponent and the affected property owner.by August 20, 1984.
Motion for adoption of the resolution was seconded by Member Bredesen, commenting
that if the access issue is not resolved the Council should still consider
condemnation to provide access. Member Schmidt stated that she feels the Blake

Nancy Abbott, 315 Harrison Avenue, asked what guarantee the low lying property
owners on Harrison would have that their properties would not be flooded as a
result of the subdivision being constructed. Engineer Hoffman explained that
the staff has reviewed the surface-water drainage plan for the plat, which has
been prepared by a professional engineering firm using good engineering standards,
and that staff is comfortable with the plan layout and how the surface water
will be handled. He stated that when'building permits are granted the building
inspector will ascertain that the grading is constructed according to the plan.
Assistant Manager Bernhardson stated that-those properties have existing surface
water problems now and that the expectation is that after the subdivision is
constructed the water problems will be no worse than at the present time. Lloyd
Peterson, developer of the Blake Woods plat, expressed concern that the Blake
Woods plat would be delayed because of the condition regarding access imposed
on preliminary plat approval of the Miller Addition.

discussion as to procedure, Mr. Hughes clarified that Council has granted prelimi-
nary plat approval and that by August 20, 1984, a final plat would be presented
for Council approval, either with a right of .way in place or with a failure to
meet the condition imposed in the resolution regarding the access issue, and that
if the Council so desired they could grant final plat approval and authorize the
condemnation if the condition has not been met.
(Member Richards returned to the meeting at this point.)
PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVED FOR BLAKE WOODS, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS. Affidavits of
Notice we-re presented by Clerk, approved as to form and ordered placed on file.
Mr. Hughes presented the plat of Blake Woods for preliminary approval, generally
located east of Dearborn Street and north of Belmore Lane. He advised that the
subject property, measuring 52,500 square feet in area and zoned R-1 Single Dwelling
Unit District, is composed of three existing R-1 lots fronting on the unimproved
northerly extension of Dearborn Street. The unimproved' Spruce Road right-of-way
adjoins the northerly boundary of the property. The proponent requests a replatting
of the existing lots into four new lots which would range in area from 13,750 square
feet to 15,050 square feet.

constructed as shown, the northerly loo+ feet of the Dearborn right of way, as well
as the.Spruce Road right of way, could be vacated and incorporated into the proposed
lots. The proposed replatting depends on access to Miller Addition by acquisition-
of right of way across lots on the west side of Dearborn which are not owned by
the Millers.
Commission considered the subdivision at its May 30, 1984 meeting and recommended
approval with conditions: 1) subdivision dedication, 2) developer's agreement which
includes the extension of sanitary sewer and the looping of water mains, 3) vacation
of rights of way as shown on the plat, 4) submission of grading plan for the lots
prior to preliminary approval by Council and 5) a minor redesign of the proposed
cul-de-sac to reduce its radius. In accordance with Council action taken on the
Miller Addition, staff would recommend preliminary plat approval with the understand-.
ing that vacation of the rights of way as included on the plat relies on the final
action on Miller Addition.

Assistant Manager Bernhardson pointed out that since the City adopted the state stan-
dards on noise pollution control, mechanical problems have hindered enforcement.
Staff has investigated acquiring additional equipment to better enforce the standards
and is also reviewing the ordinance to possbily modify the threshold requirement for
violation, to improve procedures and not only issue a citation to the owner of the
property but also to participants. Member Richards asked that Mr. Gershin be advised
that the ordinance is being reviewed and to let him know when the amendment will be

COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES CONTRACT FOR 1985 APPROVED. Mr. Bernhardson submitted
the recommendation of the Health Advisory Board to award the Community Health Services
contract for 1985 to the Bloomington Health Division, noting that this would be a
transitional year. The Board has suggested that Community Health Services be con-
tracted biennally to coincide with the Community Health Services Plan for 1986-87.
Member Bredesen pointed out that the long term strategy shold be to encourage as
many bidders as possible and that with the changes in Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursement, it is almost certain that there will be other options available.
