The two issues are so intertwined because the reason for the vacation is the subdivision. So that if you find favor with the subdivision, it may have some bearing on your decision in the street vacation. If you do not approve the subdivision, then the vacation is not necessary. You need to take action in sequential fashion, i.e. vacation and then preliminary plat. He explained that the vacation is for parts of Cobden Lane from Waterbury to Drummond. He then reviewed the subdivision plan as follows: Windsor Road to be extended as a public street into the property terminating in a cul-de-sac. Windsor Road will serve lots 2 January 12, 1993 4 through 9. Lots 1-3 will be'served by a private roadway/driveway that is label as Outlot A. Windsor Road has a proposed 40 foot right-of-way with a paved area of 18 feet. The proposed street will match the existing width of Windsor Road. The private driveway on Outlot A will have a width of 22 feet which matches the existing width of Drummond Road. He stated the City Engineer will talk about the street construction and utility issues. The average lot size is 12,800 square feet. The R-2 zone requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. The proposal involves a number of approvals. These requested approvals are: Approval of a conditional use permit to establish Teal Pointe as a Planned Development Area (PDA). The permit is also necessary to address the issue of establishing Outlot A as a private street. Approval of the preliminary plat for Teal Pointe. approval includes the following variances: This Street frontage variances for Lots 1-3 because they would front on a private street rather than on an improved public street. bo Cul-de-sac length variance for Windsor Road because the ordinance limits cul-de-sacs to 500 feet in length and as proposed, Windsor Road would have a total length of approximately 720 feet. Co A variance for the right-of-way widths for Windsor Road including the cul-de-sac bubble. The plan calls for a ROW width of 40 feet instead of the required 50 feet and a cul-de-sac bubble radius of 40 feet in lieu of the required 50 feet. de A variance on the paved area of the cul-de-sac bubble. A 35 foot radius compared to the normal 40 foot standard paved radius. Approval of the vacation of portions of Cobden Lane. The developer has incorporated the requested vacated portions of Cobden Lane into some of the lots of the subdivision. There was an issue raised at the last Council hearing~ and was addressed by the Planning Commission dealing with this site and how it would be considered under the City pending Shoreland Management Ordinance. This ordinance has to be in effect by May 10, 1993. That public hearing will be held January 26, 1993. The State Rules regarding shoreland and the proposed ordinance do have standards in them regarding steep slope areas. The proposed ordinance prohibits development in areas that are classified as bluffs (>30% slope). January 12, 1993 Virtually all of Lots 1, 2, and 3 would be unbuildable if this particular property were proposed after the shoreland ordinance was in effect. He explained there are 3 outlots: Outlot A - would be a private street; Outlot B - is a designated wetlands; Outlot C - the Planner suggested this be incorporated with lot 9. The Planner stated that if the action is to approve the subdivision in it present form or some modified form, then the appropriate action by the Council would be to direct Staff to put together a resolution that would reflect all the terms and conditions that might be brought forward. The City Engineer reviewed his report. He reported that one of his conditions was that the developer furnish documentation allowing fill to be place on adjacent private property. Since that time the developer has given the City some information on retaining walls. The Engineer stated he would need additional information on these walls before he would say it is going to work. The City Engineer stated that final plans for the storm sewer system will need the approval of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District before the final plat is approved. The City Engineer stated that if the plat is not approved then the street vacation should not be recorded. Drainage and utility easements would be kept on Cobden if vacated. The Building Official stated that the extra $1,000 for escrow has been submitted. Neil Weber, developer, showed slides of the Teal Pointe area. He stated he plans quality housing on large lots. He stated that Outlot C could be incorporated into Lot 9; he has no problem with that. The Mayor asked to take a 2 minute break. RECYCLOTTO WINNER The Mayor presented Shaun Darst, 4719 Bedford Road, with 100 Westonka Dollars for recycling the week of 1/4/93. 4 January 12, 1993 RESUI,~E TE~L POINTE HEi~RIN~S The Mayor opened the public hearing to consider' the vacation of portions of Cobden Lane from Waterbury to Drummond. Mr. Meeker read a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Rogers against the vacation of subdivision because of it being a natural wildlife area. Ruben Hartman asked that the Planning Commission Minutes be corrected to reflect that he was not in favor of the subdivision or vacation. Brad Biermann read the following petition signed by 35 persons: "I, (we), wish to make it be known, that as a concerned citizen of Mound, I am not'in favor of what has become to be known as the "Teal Pointe Development". I feel that the streets of Phelps Island are becoming increasingly unsafe, and that the addition of more traffic would further complicate this all ready growing problem. I am also against the vacation of Cobden Lane and any other public property for this project, and believe the City should retain this land as much needed green space for the benefit of its citizens." Nancy Clough stated she is submitting a letter written by Neil & Patti. Weber, dated 3/23/88, stating that, "It is our hope to fence in all of our property as a wildlife habitat." She also stated that Mr. Weber also assured her in May of 1986 that his plans for the old Hiller property was to leave it as it was for wildlife and its natural beauty and that he had not plans now or in the future to develop that property. The following persons spoke against subdivision for the following reasons: the vacation and the Harold Meeker, 5132 Waterbury Road Ruben Hartman, 5124 Windsor Road Pam & Orv Osgood, daughter & son-in-law of Glen & Alice Rogers, 17525 - 12th Ave. No. Plymouth Brad Biermann, 5106 Windsor Road John Edewaard, 5125 Hanover Road Glen Melena, 5139 Windsor Road Jim Brunzell, 5111 Windsor Road Nancy Clough, 5132 Waterbury Road Ron Norstrem, 4957 Island View Drive Harvey Berquist, 5038 Sulgrove Road Todd Rask, 5109 Drummond Road Jean Robinson, 5110 Windsor Road January 12, 1993 Reasons: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Loss of natural wildlife area. Increase in traffic that would be created by the subdivision. Don't want property taxes to go up. Upset the natural watershed. Much needed green space will be gone. Against the retaining wall that would be put up on Windsor Road. Not a big enough parcel for 9 homes. New houses aren't going to fit into the neighborhood. Loss of mature trees. May be Indian mounds on the property. Vacation is not in the public interest. Environmentally sensitive area. 2 protected species of wildlife. Should be making the developer conform to the shoreland management ordinance that will be in effect in May. This project will ruin the area. Wetlands are a major spawning area adjoining Phelps Bay and if this is developed may be dredged. Concern about lift station failure. The Mayor read a letter sent by Richard Kolosky that was in favor of the development. Tom Casey, attorney representing the neighbors, stated that the way he interpreted MN. Statute 412.851, the DNR should have been notified of the vacation of Cobden Lane because it abuts the wetlands at Waterbury Road. He questioned what the public interest was to vacate Cobden Lane stating that the only one benefiting was the developer who will incorporate the vacated land into some of his lots. He stated concerns about sedimentation, water runoff, effects on the wetlands, housing density, possible dredging of the wetlands and increase in taxes. He submitted a fax from the Institute for Minnesota Archaeology which stated that they have mapped three Indian mounds in Section 25 in the late 1880's, but they did not have time to gather any further information. He asked that some kind of study be done on the indian mounds before any action is taken on this subdivision. Mr. Casey further stated that another petition is being circulated and is on the way to the City for an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). He has the original with 25 signatures, to satisfy the state law, and will be sent to the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) and they will review this and give an opinion of whether this needs an EAW. Mr. Casey asked that approval of this subdivision be slowed and the items he has brought up be dealt with in a very careful manner. January 12, 1993 Neil Weber, developer, stated that it.is a matter of public record that he bought Blocks 15 & 16 before he brought his house on Windsor Road.' It is als° a matter of public record that he submitted a sketch plan to the Planning Commission and Council for review before he purchased the property in 1985. He stated it has always been his intention to do something with that property. The fence that was put up on the property was to limit his liability. Mr. Weber further stated that if the Council feels the vacation of Cobden Lane is not in the public interest, that is fine. The vacation is not necessary for the development of his property. He asked that if it is not vacated that the City maintain Cobden Lane because both sides of it will be developed. He stated as far as the EAW, that can be done. At this point, all the runoff from Windsor Road goes right down into the wetlands uncontrolled. If developed the runoff would go into manholes and into a holding pond. The development would also have to meet the hardcover portion of the ordinahce. What the development would do is control the runoff. Mr. Weber stated that it is extremely unlikely that there are any Indian mounds on this particular piece of ground. That was based on the fact that it is right off a wetlands area that traditionally indians did not view as honorable for burial sites. The State Archaeologist will ask that if anything is found during excavation, they be notified. That would be done. Ms. Clough stated that Mr. Rogers who has lived in the area since 1914, has told her that at one time this property did abut Lake Minnetonka and because of various earth movements and storms that strip of land formed across the marsh. She stated that this would refute Mr. Weber's theory about the Indian mounds because typically they would abut the lake. The Council discussed lots 1-3 that would not be buildable if the shoreland management ordinance was in place because of the bluffs. The City Planner stated that in a discussion with the City Attorney, that anything the Council felt was reasonable that applied to a pending ordinance could be a condition of the permit. Mr. Weber stated that there could be 11.5 lots in this area. What he has tried to do is keep the density down by spreading them out and having only 9. He stated that was the concept of the PDA to allow flexibility based on the unique design. The Council discussed how much of Cobden Lane is to be vacated. The consensus was that the vacation is not needed for the subdivision. Mr. Weber asked that the vacation of Cobden Lane from Windsor to Waterbury be deleted from the request. January 12, 1993 The Mayor read a portion of Mr. Weber's letter dealing with if the neighborhood or the City would be interested in purchasing the land for a park or nature area, they would entertain a valid purchase agreement with earnest money. The Mayor stated the City does not have the money to purchase the property. The Council stated that they understand the public concern, but that the property is privately owned'and the developer also has rights. They stated that if the neighbors know of a way to purchase this and dedicate it to the City that would be wonderful, but if that doesn't happen and it remains under private ownership with the right to develop something then the Council has the responsibility to see that the best thing be done for the property. Mr. Weber stated he does not know at this point how much they would take for the property. He further stated that if there is a qualified buyer, they would consider selling and come up with a price. The Council discussed the vacation and the subdivision. The Planner stated that the drawing that was submitted assumes that the vacation will occur. If that does not happen, the Council has several options: 1. To table and have a new plat drawing prepared that reflects no vacation; or 2. Make the new plat drawing a condition of any approval. The Council decided to specifically deal with the vacation issue first. The Council discussed which parts of Cobden Lane could be vacated. Mr. Weber stated the he is changing his request for the vacation of Cobden Lane by deleting the portion south from Windsor Lane to Waterbury. The City Engineer pointed out that there is a separate description for each piece of Cobden Lane to be vacated. The Mayor closed the public hearing. Smith moved and Ahrens seconded the following: RESOLUTION #93-1 RESOLUTION TO VACATE COBDEN LANE FROM DRUMMOND ROAD TO WINDSOR ROAD, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL'OF THE FINAL PLAT The vote was 3 in favor with Jensen and Johnson voting no. Motion fails because a 4/5 vote is required for passage. The Mayor reopened the public hearing on the Teal Pointe Development. The Council discussed the following conditions if this preliminary plat is approved, the approval would be contingent upon certain 8 9 January 12, 1993 conditions. EAW - the Council discussed requiring an Environmental Assessment Worksheet even if the EQB does not require one. Indian burial grounds - the Council discussed requiring some kind of proof (a letter from the Minnesota Archaeologist) that there is no indian burial ground on the property before allowing the development to happen. Retaining walls along Windsor Road - that the developer prove to the City Engineer that the retaining walls he is proposing will work. Consideration of Lots 1, 2 & 3 - Council discussion on the bluffs and the shoreland management ordinance. There was also discussion eliminating these lots. Mr. Weber stated they would have to go back and look at the numbers and the number of lots might increase in Blocks 15 & 16. Se The plat woUld have to be amended to reflect the fact that Cobden Lane was not vacated. Mr. Casey asked that the Council require an EAW as per Section 330:05, Subd. 7 of the city Code. Mr. Casey also stated that he did not feel that the variances requested are in the public interest nor that they meet the variance criteria. He stated he felt if the developer could do his development without the variances and conditional use permit, then it could work. The following persons also spoke against the subdivision: Meeker, Orv Osgood and Brad Biermann. Harold The Mayor closed the public hearing. MOTION made by Smith, seconded by Ahrens to direct staff to prepare a resolution of approval for the prellminary plat of Teal Pointe contingent upon the following items= The developer completing an Enviro-mental Assessment Worksheet and if the Environmental Quality Board determines that it is appropriate, Mr. Weber would have to do an environmental study. That the developer get a more updated survey (something in writing from the State Archaeologist) of the Indian burial grounds in Section 25 to determine if any of those are within the proposed development. ]_0 January 12, 1993 That the City Engineer approve the retaining ~all plan proposed by the developer . Plus all the conditions in the reports of the city Planner and City Enqineer. That the preliminary plat be redrawn without the vacation of Cobden Lane. Included in the resolution should be some findings to backup the variances that are being requested. The vote was 4 in favor with Mayor Johnson voting no. carried. Motion This will be brought back at the January 26th Meeting. 1.6 DISCUSSION= CROSSW&LKS The Police Chief reviewed his report, stating that lighting was not the issue in the December fatality. He stated that we have 9 crosswalks in less than a one square mile area. There have been 17 crosswalk related accidents since 1989, and 14 of these happened during daylight hours. 5 involved pedestrians being struck. He stated he has to look at this as a public safety issue. His recommendation is to remove all mid-block crosswalks, including the crosswalk at the House of Moy and at the Post Office and make one crosswalk at Belmont Lane. If the Council does not feel this will be palatable, then look at having one crosswalk from the parking lot to the bus shelter as a compromise. Two of the criteria in a recent study on crosswalks are: - for midblock crosswalks, block length + or - 600 feet - minimal conflicting attention demands Tom Johnson, Hennepin County, stated that he agreed with Chief Harrell and his recommendations. The Council agreed with the recommendations. The City Manager and the Police Chief will talk to the Business and Professional Council at a meeting on February 2 about the recommendations. No action was taken at this time. Councilmember Ahrens removed herself from the Council. 1.7 CaSE #92-069: FRANK &ANDREAAHRENS, 4673 ISLAND VIEW DRIVE, LOT 17 & 1/2 OF 18, BLOCK 1, DEVON, PID ~30- 117-23 22 0008, V~RIANCE 10 January 12, 1993 The Building Official explained the request.
