DISTRICT. LOTS 1.2. 3. HALSTEAD HEIGHTS.
PID F22-117-24 43 0007. P & X CASE
The City Planner presented the case. This is a redevelopment named Halstead Place which
requires a rezoning and a preliminary plat for single family attached and detached homes.
portions of the plat lie in both the City of Mound and the City of Minnetrista.
The development is located on Bartlett Boulevard. The preliminary plat proposes two types
of development. The upper portion is a combination of twin and 3-plex attached units and
the lower level are detached single family lots. There are a total of 22 lots in the complete
development.
Overall the density is 3.9 units per acre and the Mound portion is 5.6 units per acre. There
is a division between Mound property and Minnetrista. The Mound portion includes 8 lots
that are attached and 1 lot that is detached by the lakeside.
There are 9 lots within Mound and 8 of the lots need a variance which is being considered.
Other planning issues are platting issues concerning outlots and the access easement which
will be served with a private driveway. There needs to be a variance for the right-of-way
and the cul-de-sac.
The development project includes a bluff area with a 30-foot setback. This land currently is
a trailer park. Landscaping will be added near Bartlett Boulevard.
The City Planner stated there are drainage and grading issues involved in this development.
The developer proposes that the slope will be more gradual near one location but at another
location the slope would be 40 percent, which is 10 percent over code. The storm water
pond is in the Minnetrista portion of the plat and they would have the ultimate control.
598
MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINUTES- AUGUST 10, 1999
The City Planner referred to the rezoning issue. The parcel would go from an R-1 to R-3
development area which is needed to accommodate the twins and the triplexes. With
rezoning there would be setbacks that need to be changed and also variances to accommodate
the rezoning.
The City Planner referred to the hardcover issue. The total for the Mound side would be
40.07 percent but the development as a whole was just shy of 30 percent. The project is
sensitive to the hardeover issue, however, the way the development is platted, Mound is
receiving more of the hardcover than Minnetrista.
Brown stated he was not aware of the hardcover numbers at the Planning Commission
meeting two weeks ago. The City Planner stated that the actual percent is 40 percent, and
code allows 30 percent.
The City Planner also reviewed the shoreline management provisions and how they apply to
the project. He described how the density level of the development can be based on the
different tiers, The Shoreline Ordinance states that a developer can swap density if needed.
With a density transfer, Shoreline management would allow 46 lots on this parcel. With
typical standards applied, 25 lots would be allowed. These numbers are deceiving because
Minnetrista does not allow the density transfer in their Shoreland Management Ordinance and
the lakeside lot 22 is not 20,000 square feet in size as would be required.
Councilmember Hanus added with regard to the above figures, it really is irrelevant what
shoreline management states regarding the density issue because they are including both
Mound and Minnetrista property but, the Council is considering only the Mound property.
The City Planner referred to the City Engineer's report who was not present tonight. The
City Engineer stated in his report that there would need to be easements on the preliminary
plat which was not noted before tonight. With regard to grading, if the project does get
approved the bluff area should not be disturbed. There was a mention again of variances to
street standards. Storm water and sanitary sewer are major issues in this project. The
sanitary sewer flows down to Minnetrista and is pumped back to the sewage treatment plant
by West Edge Boulevard. In order to have this project proceed, the City needs to come up
with agreements regarding maintenance so we can utilize their pipes. In addition, the water
main is an issue. A solution for the water concern would be to do some looping from
Bartlett and then back up to Halstead. The City Engineer's report states with this scenario
there would not be enough pressure for fire trucks with the six inch watermain that currently
exists, but he is certain there would be enough pressure for residents basic water needs. The
City Planner s ted that the City Engineer mentioned replacing the six inch with an eight inch
pipe but this would only increase about one PSI in the total loop system in the development
so this is basically no improvement.
The City Planner lastly pointed out storm water issues from the City Engineer's report. The
City Planner stated 'the location where the intakes are placed seem appropriate. He also
stated there would not be a storm water pipe at the location. He stated Minnetrista should
own and maintain the pond and Mound would have a portion of responsibility of maintaining
the pond. There appears to be a number of governmental concerns that need to be worked
out regarding storm water.
599
MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -'AUGUST 10, 1999 ·
The City Planner stated the Planning Commission approved the project has on staffs
recommendations for approval based on 15 conditions as noted in previous minutes and it
was a 4-3 vote. When the vote was passed there was not enough information regarding
hardcover and residents had issues regarding ~density and, storm water concerns.
The City Planner stated s ff is looking for a'concept approval based upon the above-noted
information.
Councilmember Brown stated he has noted other members of the Planning Commission have
reconsidered after seeing other information come forward.
Councilmember Hanus asked if there Would be a common drive for the three properties. The
City Planner stated that is correct.
Councilmember Brown referred to the R-1 property and the new houses. He stated one
concern he sees is the sloping of about a six-foot drop. If a retaining wall n s to be added,
what does that do to the variance from the property line. The City Planner stated the setback
needs to be 30 feet and currently it is at 15 feet. The City Planner stat there does need to be
some consideration regarding landscaping.
Councilmember Hanus asked about grading. He suggested staying back 6 feet or so from the
house, but that would make a 45-degree drop, at a minimum. He noted the water will flow
quickly and that windows on the backside of house will be looking at a grass wall.
Councilmember Weycker asked if Minnetrista is also required to do a rezoning. The City
Planner stated the process that they are doing is not quite certain. This proposal does not
meet Minnetrista's density requirements at the current time.
Councilmember Weycker is concerned about spot zoning with this piece of property. Mayor
Meisel also has concerns regarding spot zoning.
Councilmember Weycker stated she has great concern with water issues and water problems.
She stated the scenario of Mound having no control and Minnetrista having the control, could
lead to a tremendous problem.
Councilmember Hanus asked what findings or reasoning justifies the variances on a non lot
of record? Gordon stated that if the project didn't include the Minnetrista land, it would be
difficult to find reasons for hardship on the requested variances. Because of the variances
noted, the City Planner stated staff would not recommend approval of the variances. It
appears though that shoreline management states the density is not an issue.
Councilmember Brown stated the Council can no longer look at this development as a
complete project. The Council needs to consider only the Mound portion and as he sees it, it
will be very dense and there will be a lot of hardcover. Also because Mound and
Minnetrista have water issues which cannot be resolved to date, Councilmember Brown is
concerned about this development.

MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINUTES.~' AUGUST 10,, 1999
Mayor Meisel opened the public hearing at 8:-22 P.M, M~,or Meisel gave instructions to the
public regarding the hearing prbcess.
Ken Evans, 6635 Bartlett Boulevard, stated that there'are too many variables in this plan as
he sees it. He is concerned about what will happen with residents. The agreement he signed
as a 'resident of the trailer park states a notice' of 9 months needs to be given to the residents
and that timeframe and the developer's timeframe do not coincide. Mr. Evans also noted the
relocation costs for him would be gmat and he would endure a financial burden if he had to
move.
Jerry Mader, 6607 Bartlett Boulevard, stated he 4ms a concern regarding the tri-plex location.
He stated he has attended meetings previously and heard each unit would be priced in the
$200,000 to $400,0000 range. He is concerned that no individual would pay that amount
because there will be no great view from the windows. He also stated the lot sizes do not
seem appropriate.
Suzanne Claywell, Wilshire Boulevard, stated she is very concerned about the high density.
Ms. Claywell stated a developer should not be allowed to jam this amount of density into the
amount of property that is there. She also stated a great concern regarding the variances for
hardcover. She stated that the City of Mound needs to be more concerned about building the
community as a whole. She would like to be proud when she tells individuals that she is a
resident of Mound.
Bill Meyer, 6601 Bartlett Boulevard, stated he has lived in Mound for 20 years near to the
trailer park and has never had a problem with trailer park. He was sure that maybe this is a
better alternative than the trailer park but, only if there was not the zoning issue at hand.
His great concern was turning this property into R-3 which now borders with Minnetrista and
farmland. He feels the lots will be too small. This property is now an R-1 lot for the trailer
park and he has a concern of having it changed for this specific development. Mr. Meyer
also feels there would be a parking issue ,for all of the new residents on this site. He stated
it appears that there would be no room to store or park' bigger items, except inside the
garage. With setbacks that are required in this area, the garage size would also need to be
reduced. Mr. Meyer stated the property, as he sees it, would be too dense. He stated the
first moving van will destroy the park. He strongly opposed zoning this R-3.
Cklair Hasse, 6627 Bartlett Boulevard, stated he lives directly east of this project. Mr.
Hasse stated he is a member of the Planning Commission and when the project was first
talked about, he liked it, but he wanted the developer to not have to rezone the property and
acquire all the variances. Mr. Hasse stated he is definitely against the rezoning of the
property from an R-1 to R-3.
Terry Hughes, 6641 Halstead Avenue, stated he lives adjacent to proposed R-1 and is
concerned about the storm water and drainage pipe. He noted that Mound is being asked to
take all the responsibility for the water. Since that is the case, there will be maintenance
issues in the future and overflowing issues that the City of Mound will have to deal with in
the future if this project is developed.
601
MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINUTE8 - AUGUST 10, 1999
B. J. Johnson, 6655 Halstead Avenue, strongly urged a denial of this redevelopment. He
stated he has spoken before at other Planning Commission meetings regarding this project.
_ . . ~5~i-
Dorothea I-Ielmen, 6669 I-Ialstead Avenue, Stated she has attended other Planning
Commission meetings in the past. She lives downstream from the development being
proposed and is very concerned about the water that comes from the pipe when the 'big
flood' will occur. She 'stated she is a Mound citizen at the.mercy of Minnetrista since they
have ownership of the storm water holding pond.
Geoff Michael, 1713 Avocet Lane, stated he comes before the Council as Chair of the
Planning Commission. He stated has chaired three meetings regarding this development
project--one was a joint meeting held at Minnetrista and there were two others he chaired in
Mound's Council chambers. He stated he had a momentary lapse of judgment regarding this
development. He encouraged the Planning Commission to at least move the project on for
City Council review. After reviewing the project more thoroughly, he stated that with
variances, the rezoning, the high densil:y issues, even though his vote is on record as having
voted 'yes" for this project, he would today vote no", if he had it to do over. Mr. Michael
stated it does not make sense to rezone the property as it exists today.
Frank Weiland, 6045 Aspen Road, stated he comes before the Council today as a Planning
Commissioner and a citizen. Mr. Weiland noted after the information he has received from
tonight's meeting and how the information that keeps being introduced changes the whole
project, if it were possible to revote, his vote would be "no."
Mayor Meisel dosed the public hearing at 9:30 P.M.
Councilmember Brown stated he would like to read Mr. Orr Bum's statement, who is also
a member of the Planning Commission. Mr. Burma states the following in his letter:
"I regret that a conflict of schedules makes it/~ecessary to write this letter rather than attend
the Council meeting tonight. Please accept this input into your deliberations on the subject.
This letter is in regards to my vote on the Planning Commission regarding the trailer park
redevelopment case. I was the second to the motion to pass the item to the City Council
with recommendations for approval. I have since had serious reservations. The reservations
are density and spot zoning.
Because of these and other considerations of somewhat lesser concern, if the vote were taken
today, I would vote for denial of the proposal as presented."
Councilmember Brown stated that he was the 4th vote on the Planning Commission regarding
this proposal. He stated that at the time he made a good faith effort to see this project
through but now he has serious reservation regarding the density and spot zoning and
because of these considerations, if the vote was taken today he would vote "no" and deny the
project.
Michael Gair addressed the Council regarding his client, Ed Forliti. He stated he is stunned
reg ding the Planning Commission's votes that were stated tonight. Mr. Gair stated he still
supports his applicant, Remington Development, for the consideration of the development.
602
MOUND CITF COUNCIL MINUTES- AUGUST 10, 1999
Mr. Gair stated~even though this it a multi-jurisdic.tional development, this project is possible
as long as there is communication amongst all of those .involved in the project. He stated the
redevelopment they are proposing consists of 5.6? acres, which would include 29~ new
homes. Mr. Gair stated the site is a redevelopment and these types of projects require
mutual commitment. Mr. Gair admitted these types of projects are expensive and
complicated. This project started with two neighborhood meetings and evolved to twin-
family home sites and single-family with attached garages according to what the people
wanted.
To date, there have been several staff meetings with both cities. Remington has met with the
Planning Commission and the project was reviewed. They have met with the County
highway department on site regarding the Highway 110 concern. The possibility of a
corporate boundary change was discussed previously which was not feasible and then
Remington eliminated an attached unit reducing from 16 down to 15 for density reasons.
Mr. Gair stated the total number of lots would be 22, which is three l~ss than previously
proposed. He indicated that according to planning staff, this development meets the shoreline
management ordinance and the storm water plan. He stated the water supply is being
resolved. He stated he felt confident that the water supply from Mound and from
Minnetrista will fit with the timing for the development of the project.
Mr. Galr stated the storm water planning mitigates the concerns of residents. The water
currently comes from the ,north and drops south through some ditches and culverts and drains
without an easement from private property down to the lake. This meets the requirements to
be further refined, but currently it does work at this point. Mr. Gair stated the road
improvements will include newly constructed roadways including an appropriate turnaround
on the road to service the utility vehicles. There will also be a tax revenue increase as a
result of this plan.
He restated this would be a fine place to live and own a home. The site development will be
completed in a single phase and home occupancy could begin in Mound in late winter/spring
of the year 2000
Mr. Gair then addressed the issue of grading. He stated the homes that back up to the east
boundary near the retaining wall by Highway 110 would have some nice landscaping made
available by having a raised grade with a walkout. Mr. Gair addressed the storm water
ponding in the southwest comer. Mr. Gair stated the lowest portion of the pond rises up and
then drops down to Halstead. An elongate on the basin could be a solution and then shrubs
could be planted along the edge. This will provide screening around the ponding, area.
Mr. Gair referred to the City Engineer's reports. He stated the developer will place a
conservation easement to protect the bluff and the slopes which was a concern in the report.
Mr. Gair mentioned the County approval is not quite completed but is almost to the point of
general support for this type of roadway to get a permit.
Mr. Gair addressed the hardcover issue and explained the calculation does include the upper
drives, parking area, and the finger of asphalt which was a concern of Councilmember
Brown.
603
MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINUTE8- AUGUST 10, 1999
Mr. Gair stated that the variances are not unusual. R-3 is what is required, and this does not
create an overly dense situation. He is confident in the PUD and the preliminary plat to
date. He also stated he supports the project ~ feels it would be a great place to live and a
source of pride.
Councilmember Brown stated he has a problem with granting a 40 percent hardcover
variance because it would be setting precedent, so the Council would have to grant a 40
percent hardcover for other developers who come in and want to do exactly what Remington
is proposing, is He foresees this as a problem that Mound should not have to encounter.
Mayor Meisel stated that this is a public hearing and she would like to move forward with
the rezoning issue at hand. The City Attorney stated that Mayor Meisel is correct in
wanting, to discuss the rezoning part of this Project and if it is passed by the Council, the
PDA issue can be considered and voted on.
Mr. Gair stated the issues with hardcover and surface water runoff is discussed in shoreline
management and shoreline management states the hardcover is appropriate.
Councilmember Hanus wanted to know who the target owners .are for this site. Mr. Gair
reviewed two markets. He stated there would be opportunity for an empty nester or retired
person to live comfortably in the single-family homes. There of course would not be an age
restriction and the developer would not prohibit young families.
Councilmember Hanus asked what the price range for these homes would be? Mr. Forliti
stated the price for the twins would range from $175,000 to $275,000. The single-family
homes would range from $250,000 and up. Mr. Forliti stated'there would be more
hardcover in Mound after the homes are developed. Mr. Forliti assured the Council that the
hardcover will go down in Mound and the water will be controlled.
There was some discussion regarding the change in Mound and Minnetrista's corporate
boundary. This process is fairly easy according to Mr. Gair, but the possibility of this
occurring at this point in the project would not be something to put much concentration on.
Evidently it was related to the Council previously and it was not something the City of
Mound was interested in pursuing. -
Discussion
Mayor Meisel stated she would like comments regarding the rezoning issue at hand.
The City Attorney stated the redevelopment is considered two-part. The underlining
rezoning district is one part and the second part is the preliminary plat. The City Attorney
stated that if the rezoning does not get approved then the preliminary plat, at this point,
would not even need to be considered.
Councilmember Hanus asked if an appropriate finding for denial would be based on the
development proposal that was presented? The City Attorney stated it could be or based on
the type of intensity in that type of district and zoning charactefistcs of the surrounding
property.
604
MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINUTES- AUGUST 10, 1999
Councilmember Hanu, s. stated he would like to see the,trailer park area cleaned up and
redeveloped. He noted Mound has been hoping for something to come along for a long
time. At this point, though, Councilmember Hanus does not agree with this specific Project.
MOTION by Hanus, seconded by Meisel to direct staff to review the statements
and testimony received to draft a resolution of denial for the Conditional Use
Permit to Allow for the Halstead Place .Planned Development Area to change the
current use of an R-1 Mobile Home Park to an R-1 PDA and R-3. PDA

vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carded.
The City Attorney suggested a denial resolution be considered at the August 24th meeting.

recommended. The replacement pages should be included with the resolution previously
handed out before tonight's meeting. The Acting City Manager also stated the conditions of
the recently approved Franchise Agreement will apply to the new owners as well.
Hanus moved and Brown seconded the following resolution:

1.12 DISCUSSION ON CITY MANAGER REPLACEMENT.
Mayor Meisel referred to the City Manager consultant packets that were handed out at the
Committee of the Whole Meeting. She stated she did receive a packet also from the search
firm Chanhassen used to hire their City Manager which she presented tonight as well.
Mayor Meisel stated she would like to call the search groups which are favored the most
tonight to set up interviews.
Councilmember Brown voted for Oldani as his first pick Slavin as his second;
Councilmember Weycker voted for Mercer as her first choice and Ralph Anderson as her
second. Weycker felt Sathe (the Chanhassen referral) was expensive. Hanus voted for
Mercer as his first choice and Saathe as his second; Mayor Meisel voted for Oldani as her
first choice and Sathe as her second .choice. Mayor Meisel. commented that the City
Manager at Chanhassen raved about the Sathe firm because they located him and he is very
pleased working in' Chanhassen.
605
MOUND CITY COUNCIL MINUTES- AUGUST 10, 1999
Councilmember Brown requested the Council interview Mercer, Oldani and Sathe (who is
local) according to the vo~g above stated. Councilmember Hanus reiterated that the initial
interview for all of the search companies is at the expense of the interviewee not the City of
Mound.
Mayor Meisel stated when interviewing, the Councilmembers should have five or six
questions to score that would be most important to that member. Also, Mayor Meisel will
find a common day with all of those participating in the interviews and for all three search
groups, and thank those that sent in packets for participating. Mayor Meisel will work on
setting up a date and time for interviewing the search finns, Mercer, Sathe.
