r to Mr. Swenson. Ken Hassler, a neighbor, questioned whether there would be
II. benefit to entitle assessment for Robin Lane against his lot and there were
also questions about whether notice had been distributed for the Metram

whether the value would be kept up and whether the developer would commit
itself to the City as to the price range and the quality of the units. The

alternate according to Mr. Colbert because of the contours, and further the
City cannot build beyond the right-of-way limits.

conditions be enforced within the project and Chairman Hall stated that a

APC Minutes
June 28, 1983
including the Limited Business use on approximately 12 acres. The applicant
has proposed to revise the five lots in the LB district into 14 smaller lots
which would reduce the square footage substantially. The lots would be
approximately one-half acre and larger with a minimum of about 5,000 square
foot per building. Greg Frank of McCombs Knutson appeared on behalf of the
applicant and indicated that a proposal for a veterinary. clinic has been made
for one lot. Several neighboring property owners were present and their
concerns included traffic generation, possibly causing additional traffic on
Berry Ridge and Hilltop Lane. It was noted that the grade of the site will be
lowered and that buildings would generally be two stories. Member Wold has
concerns about controls on planned developments including style of the
buildings, the shapes and types of buildings, maintenance of lots, etc. Mr.
Frank stated the developer would impose architectural control and it was
suggested that the developer submit plans for the buildings including style of
the buildings before final approval. It was also noted that the Planned
Development Agreement has not been signed by the developer and member Bohne
was concerned about the small sites and the uses permitted in a Limited
Business district. Member Bohne suggested that the Planning Commission review
the uses of the property in the entire area. Chairman Hall stated that it
appeared that it was only a marketing plan for the land and not a Planned
Develoment with specific uses similar to what was submitted earlier. He
recommended a continuance to allow the developer time to submit more specific
plans and proposals for the use of the lots. Hall moved, Krob seconded a
motion to continue the hearing until the regular hearing of July 26, 1983,
and requested that the developer submit more specific plans and proposals for
the use of the lots including an architectual scheme and a list of the
proposed businesses intended to locate on the lots. All voted yea. Planning
Commission members in general did not object to the location of the veterinary
clinic building on the property, but there was concern about uniformity of
styles and architectural theme, etc.

including the Limited Business use on approximately 12 acres. The applicant
has proposed to revise the five lots in the LB district into 14 smaller lots
which would reduce the square footage substantially. The lots would be
approximately one-half acre and larger with a minimum of about 5,000 square
foot per building. Greg Frank of McCombs Knutson appeared on behalf of the
applicant and indicated that a proposal for a veterinary. clinic has been made
for one lot. Several neighboring property owners were present and their
concerns included traffic generation, possibly causing additional traffic on
Berry Ridge and Hilltop Lane. It was noted that the grade of the site will be
lowered and that buildings would generally be two stories. Member Wold has
concerns about controls on planned developments including style of the
buildings, the shapes and types of buildings, maintenance of lots, etc. Mr.
Frank stated the developer would impose architectural control and it was
suggested that the developer submit plans for the buildings including style of
the buildings before final approval. It was also noted that the Planned
Development Agreement has not been signed by the developer and member Bohne
was concerned about the small sites and the uses permitted in a Limited
Business district. Member Bohne suggested that the Planning Commission review
the uses of the property in the entire area. Chairman Hall stated that it
appeared that it was only a marketing plan for the land and not a Planned
Develoment with specific uses similar to what was submitted earlier. He
recommended a continuance to allow the developer time to submit more specific
plans and proposals for the use of the lots. Hall moved, Krob seconded a
motion to continue the hearing until the regular hearing of July 26, 1983,
and requested that the developer submit more specific plans and proposals for
the use of the lots including an architectual scheme and a list of the
proposed businesses intended to locate on the lots. All voted yea. Planning
Commission members in general did not object to the location of the veterinary
clinic building on the property, but there was concern about uniformity of
styles and architectural theme, etc.
