Mr. Larsen informed the Commission that a preliminary
development plan was considered and approved by the City
Council on April 1, 1985.
Mr. Larsen reported to the Commission that the
proponents have now submitted an overall development plan in
support of their request for final zoning approval. A
preliminary plat for the property has also been submitted.
The overall development plan includes a site plan, grading
plan, preliminary utility layout, elevations, landscaping
plan and schedule as required by Ordinance.
Mr. Larsen pointed out that at the time of preliminary
approval, members of the Council stated that the landscaping
plan should provide screening for surrounding properties and
that the plan include mature stock in greater than minimum
numbers. The Zoning Ordinance requirement for this site is
50 overstory trees and a full compliment of understory trees
and shrubs. Overstory trees must be 2 1/2 inches in
diameter for deciduous trees and 6 feet in height for
coniferous trees. The proponents have submitted a landscape
plan and schedule which illustrate a total of 118 overstory
trees, 39 of which exceed minimum Ordinance requirements.
The plan also includes 47 understory trees and a variety of
shrubs.
Mr. Larsen added that the exterior elevations show
brick and cedar siding with asphalt roofing. Most ground
floor wall areas would be brick with dormers and second
floor walls of cedar siding.
Staff recommends final zoning and preliminary plat
approval, conditioned on the following:
1. Final platting
2. Subdivision dedication
3. Developers agreement
Mr. Steve Wilson was present representing Brutger
Companies along with 2 members of the general public.
Mrs. McClelland questioned Mr. Wilson on whether any
soil borings have been done on the property in question.
Mr. Wilson stated that soil borings have been ordered and
that Brutger Companies do not anticipate any soil problems.
Mrs. McClelland continued by asking Mr. Wilson for specifics
on landscaping and the number of trees that are to be
planted. Mr. Wilson responded by informing the Commission
that Brutger Companies feel they have proposed a good mix of
trees which include:
1. 118 overstory trees (39 of which exceed Ordinance
requirements.)
2. 47 understory trees and a variety of shrubs.
-.-I Mrs. McClelland added that she likes the new design
much better and appreciates the work that Brutger has done
on re -designing the plans to meet with the approval of the
Commission.
Mr. Runyan asked for clarification of space between
buildings that run along Cahill Drive. Mr. Wilson informed
Mr. Runyan and the Commission that the buildings along
Cahill are 60 feet apart. Mr. Runyan continued by asking
Mr. Wilson how the project would be phased? Mr. Wilson
indicated that Brutger would begin building by Windwood and
develope 4 units that would be used as models.
Mr. Runyan directed a question to Mr. Larsen regarding
the feelings of the Edina Fire Department. Mr. Larsen
stated that the plans had been reviewed by the Fire
Department.
Mr. Wilson told the Commission that Brutger Companies
were very excited about this project and were looking forward
to beginning development.
Mrs. Helen McClelland moved for approval of final
development plans and preliminary plat. Mr. John Palmer
