It was noted that Central Fence owns a parcel in Inver Grove Heights adjacent to the area proposed to be rezoned in Eagan. Mr. James Sander, attorney for Central Fence, and Mr. Leonard Hersten, president of Central Fence, were present. The property owned by Central Fence is zoned Light Industrial in Inver Grove Heights and Mr. Sander indicated the 2-1/2 acre tract would include an 8 -foot chain .link fence to store the fencing materials. There was discussion concerning access for County Road 1163 to the storage site. The applicant requested that the 8 -foot fence not be required to be placed 10 feet south of the proposed office site, but rather on the property line of the proposed office site parcel. Mr. Sander indicated that there are no objections to the conditions but preferred not to be assessed or be required to connect to sanitary sewer and water service. It was noted that the Special Assessment Committee on October 30, 1978, indicated that if and when the property was converted to another use rather than the existing single family, that it would be required to assume the assessments for lateral benefit from trunk utilities for both.sanitary sewer and water. After considerable discussion, Krob moved to recommend that the property be rezoned to Light Industrial..

There was discussion by Mr. Eller concerning the hardship to the purchaser and Mr. Eller indicated that the plan could be changed but would still need a 1.94 foot variance from the side yard setback requirement. After discussion, Wilkins moved, Krob seconded the motion, to recommend dis- approval of the application based upon the understanding that at the time application for approval of the plat was submitted, the applicant indicated that there would be no variances, there was no substantial hardship shown, and smaller lots were intended to be sold at lower prices according to the applicant when the plat was firstsubmitted.

FRANCIS WOOD SECOND ADDITION REPLAT The Public Hearing concerning Lexington Development Company for replat approval of St. Francis Wood Second Addition covering Lots 19 through 22 of St. Francis Woods Addition was continued at the request of the applicant. RIDGE CLIFFE ADDITION REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT The next public hearing convened by the Chairman concerned the application of U.S. Homes Corporation -- Orrin Thompson Homes -- for rezoning of a 144 acre parcel from Agricultural to R-1, R-2, and R-3, Residential and preliminary plat approval of Ridge Cliffe Addition. The proposal includes 81 acres of single family, 36 acres of quadrominiums, 2.6 acres of doubles, 16.6 acres of park, 1.uld 85 acres pond, and 6.10 acres miscellaneous streets, etc. The proposal 385 dwelling units with a 3.2 average residential and 2.66 overall density. Mr. Orrin Thompson, Robert Carlson and Chuck Winden appeared for the applicant. It was noted that the Park Committee had'informally reviewed the proposal but that the exact location of the park may be changed. The ;model home area would be at the southeast corner and it was noted that there would be two Outlots that are too narrow for development adjoining Cliff Road with several alternate uses. One adjacent owner was present and raised questions concerning the stub streets and the method of developing the heavily treed area adjacent to this property near Cliff Road. Objections were raised and the questions were answered. The developer opposed the looping of cul-de-sacs H and J although the developer indicated that the number of lots would be no less than possibly one additional lot. Mr. Colbert stated that it would be possible to connect the cul-de-sacs but there are not an excessive number of cul-de-sacs in the subdivi- sion and strong terrain issues were raised by the applicant, including tree cover. There was discussion concerning proposed.R-2 uses along Galaxie Avenue, but the applicant requested that Lots 17 through 22, Block 2, be rezoned to R-3 and that Lots 15 and 16, Block 2, and Lots 23 and 24, Block 5, be rezoned to R-2. There was a question from Member Wilkins concerning why quads would be located in the center of the R-1 zoned area. Mr. Thompson stated that the design of the quads would tend to lend themselves to R-1 areas and also,the quads are centered so that the R-1 area would abut adjoining R-1 property. He also indicated APC Minutes' April 22, 1980 Page Six that quads are not compatible with extremely rough terrain. He stated that the quads and doubles would all be sold as single units and the plan is to commence development in 1980. ,The prices for the quads would be $50,000 - $60,000 with the singles from $70,000 to $100,000. Although Covington Lane was proposed to have an 80 -foot right-of-way, Mr. Colbert and Mr. Rosene indicated 60 feet would be adequate because it was not a collector street and a 32 -foot improved roadway would be sufficient. A sidewalk would be required on one side of Covington Lane. Mr. Hall recommended reducing Covington to 60 feet to allow 30 - foot setbacks which would fit into the terrain.more adequately and also would include more property under private ownership for real estate tax purposes. After lengthy discussion,'Gits moved, Bohne seconded a motion, to recommend approval of the application for rezoning to R-1, R-2, and R-3 as designated on the plat and that Lots 15 and 16, Block 2, Lots 23 and 24, Block 5, be rezoned to R-2 and that Lots 17 through 22, Block 2 be rezoned to R-3 together with the other lots designated in the application. All voted in favor. Gits then moved and Krob seconded the motion to recommend approval of the preliminary plat subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposed double bungalow lots, which would Front on Galaxie Avenue, shall be platted consistent with the rezoning of this area (R-2 or into one lot or multiple or limited business zoning). 2. The location of the park shall be determined by the City Council after review and recommendation by the Park Committee and staff. 3.

An adequate landscape bond shall be posted by the Developer as determined by the staff. 6. A "model home" area shall be permitted along proposed cul-de-sac "L" for a period not to exceed five (5) years.

The ;model home area would be at the southeast corner and it was noted that there would be two Outlots that are too narrow for development adjoining Cliff Road with several alternate uses. One adjacent owner was present and raised questions concerning the stub streets and the method of developing the heavily treed area adjacent to this property near Cliff Road. Objections were raised and the questions were answered. The developer opposed the looping of cul-de-sacs H and J although the developer indicated that the number of lots would be no less than possibly one additional lot. Mr. Colbert stated that it would be possible to connect the cul-de-sacs but there are not an excessive number of cul-de-sacs in the subdivi- sion and strong terrain issues were raised by the applicant, including tree cover.

He stated that the quads and doubles would all be sold as single units and the plan is to commence development in 1980. ,The prices for the quads would be $50,000 - $60,000 with the singles from $70,000 to $100,000.
