Block 5, Vienna Woods. City Planner Runkle presented the application and
"Y -described the split requested as being a split of a duplex lot to allow
individual ownership similar to two splits already approved in Vienna Woods.
It was indicated there would probably be 12 more duplex lot splits in the
future and the Commission discussed the possibility of ordinance or policy
change to allow these types of"splits without public hearing. Bohne moved,

2, Block 5, Vienna Woods in Section 31, subject to compliance with all other
ordinance requirements. All voted yes.
JAMS REFRIGERATION CO. - WAIVER OF PLAT
The next hearing concerned the application of James Refrigeration Co. for
a waiver of plat in order to split Lot 3, Block 1, Hilltop Plaza into two lots
located east of Pilot Knob Road and north of Diffley Road in Section 22. Mr.
Runkle presented the application to the Planning Commission and stated that
the request for the lot split related to the conditional use permit approved
for National Child Care Center, Inc, for a day care facility located on a
portion of Lot 3• Subdivision or split of the property was a condition
imposed by the Commission when the conditional use permit was approved. It
was noted that the proposed parcel B on which the day care facility was to be
located, was designed to stay within the restriction for 20% lot coverage.
There was no proposed use yet for Parcel A. Surveyor Harold Peterson was

5. The developer shall provide an asphalt base temporary trail along

TOLLEFSON BUILDERS, INC. - WAIVER OF PLAT.
The next hearing concerned the application of Tollefson Builders, Inc.
for a waiver of plat in regard to Lot 3, Block 1, Brittany 4th Addition. City
Planner Runkle presented the application indicating that there have been two
prior variances due to surveyor errors resulting in the construction of homes
which encroached upon side lot setback areas. It was noted in the present
case the house was 7 feet from the side lot line. Therefore, it was necessary,
to shift the lot line of Lot 3, three feet to the south to meet the setback
requirements. However, this created a problem in that the adjacent Lot 2,
would then only have 57 feet of width at the front setback line. Therefore,
staff had suggested that waiver of plat also add an additional three feet to
the south side of Lot 2, reducing the lot width of Lot 1 from 75.25 to 72.25
feet. Bohne moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to recommend approval of the
waiver of plat for Lots 1, 2, and 3, of Block 1, Brittany 4th Addition so that
side yard setbacks could be met and each lot would have a minimum 60 foot
width, subject to the following conditions:
1. Drainage easements shall be reviewed by the Engineering Department
to assure that they fulfill all of the requirements for easements requested by
the City Engineer, including the granting of new easements and easement vaca-
tions where necessary.
2. All other ordinance requirements be adhered to, including all set-
back requirements.
All voted yea.

DEVELOPERS CONSTRUCTION
REVISED SITE PLAN/AMENDED DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT
A hearing regarding the request from Developers Construction, Loren
Spande, for a revised site plan to increase the remaining 8 -unit condominiums
to 14 -unit condominiums on Lots 3, 5, and 6, Hilltop Condominiums was convened
by the Chairman. City Planner Runkle presented the request as a revised site
plan in that a new plat was not required nor were zoning changes necessary.
It was indicated that the larger luxury units previously constructed by the
developer, had not been selling well in this area. Mr. Spande indicated that
he now proposed to construct smaller units of greater number to interest the
types of buyers in the market place. It was indicated that the outside of the
buildings would not be changed from the original plan, except for the number
of garages, and a reduction in the common area courtyard. However, it did
appear that there would be an increase in the square footage of living space.
Many owners of neighboring single family homes were present to voice their
objections arguing that they purchased their .homes partly in reliance on the
original plan to construct the smaller number of luxury type units. They also
complained of inadequate erosion control and the destruction of trees. The
need for additional parking and the increase in traffic were discussed. In
addition, the difficulty of erosion control was addressed by Assistant
Engineer Hefti. The need for additional parking space was discussed, in-
cluding the limiting of access to Hilltop Lane. A motion by Wold for
approval, subject to several conditions died for lack of a second. Hall
moved, Wilkins seconded the, motion to recommend denial of the revision due to
the increase in square footage, contrary to the development contract. All
voted yes. It was noted that the.application would be heard by the City
Council on October 18, 1983.
JAMES B. AND ARVELLA W. HORNE - REZONING
Chairman Hall convened the public hearing regarding the application for
rezoning 38 acres from A (Agricultural) and R-1 (Residential Single Family
District) to 12 acres of NB (Neighborhood Business District) and 26 acres of
R-4 (Residential Multiple District) located in Section 21. Mr. Horne was
present to provide an in-depth presentation regarding the history of the
property, its zoning, the comprehensive plan and the proposals for I -35E.
During a very long discussion, it was indicated by the Commission that while
Mr. Horne had plans for development, he had not brought before the Commission
an application for preliminary plat approval, as was the policy when
addressing rezoning applications. It was suggested that with the owner's
indication that development was imminent, that requiring submission of an
application for preliminary plat, to be addressed in conjunction with the
rezoning, would in no way delay development. It was noted by the City Planner
that in the past six years he was not aware of any rezoning granted without an
accompanying application for preliminary plat. Various members expressed
concern that they lacked adequate information for consideration of rezoning.

AMENDMENT TO PD/REVISED PRELD(I4ARY PLAT
Chairman Hall convened the public hearing regarding the request of
Zachman Homes, Inc. for an amendment to the Cinnamon Ridge Planned Development
to allow 27 twin -home buildings on Outlot H, Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition
instead of the nine 8-plex buildings as originally planned. In conjunction
with such an amendment was a preliminary plat application for Cinnamon Ridge
4th, 5th and 6th Additions, consisting of 7.52 acres and containing the 27
twin -home lots (54 dwelling units). City Planner Runkle presented the request
indicating that there would be a reduction in density from 72 dwelling units
to 54 dwelling units. John Anderson from Zachman Homes was also present to
respond to questions. It was indicated that the Homeowners Association would
.be responsible for snow removal, architectural control, and exterior building
maintenance. Each owner would mow his own lawn, but be subject to assessment
by the Homeowners Association with lien rights if the Homeowners Association
should have to correct the failure to maintain the lot. There was significant
discussion regarding the timing for the construction of Metcalf Drive. Hall
moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to recommend amendment of the Cinnamon
Ridge Planned Development and reduce the density from nine 8-plex buildings
(72 units) to 27 twin -home buildings (54 dwelling units) on Outlot H, Cinnamon
Ridge 3rd Addition, with the construction of Metcalf Drive to commence and to
proceed expeditiously when not more than 16 units have been constructed. All
voted yes. Hall moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to recommend approval of
the replat Outlot H, Cinnamon Ridge 3rd Addition as Cinnamon Ridge 4th, 5th,
and 6th Additions, subject to the following conditions:

PERASANT KNOLL - PRELI) rpARY PLAT
WILL STENZEL CONSTRUCTION
The hearing regarding the application of Will Stenzel Construction for
preliminary plat approval of proposed Pheasant Knoll was brought before the
Planning Commission. Mr. Runkle made the presentation in regard to the appli-
cation indicating that of the total 18.7 acres purchased by the applicant,
10.1 has been designated for park dedication as part of the Blackhawk Park
PUD. The Park Committee had decided to accept this park dedication, including
part of Heine Pond and the area around it. This left the developer with 8.6
acres upon which he had requested 120 townhouse units. It was noted that this
was above the 6 to 12 units allowed in the R-3 district. Therefore, staff had
suggested that a maximum of 103 units could be allowed. Mr. Will Stenzel was
present to field questions from the Commission and the many neighbors who were
present voicing their concerns regarding the high density use, erosion into
Heine Pond, loss of trees, value of the homes to be constructed, and the
quality of Heine Pond. After considerable discussion, Krob moved, Wilkins
seconded the motion to continue the application to the October meeting to
allow the developer to meet with the neighbors and for staff to provide
additional information. All voted yea.

TOLLEFSON BUILDERS, INC. - WAIVER OF PLAT.
The next hearing concerned the application of Tollefson Builders, Inc.
for a waiver of plat in regard to Lot 3, Block 1, Brittany 4th Addition. City
Planner Runkle presented the application indicating that there have been two
prior variances due to surveyor errors resulting in the construction of homes
which encroached upon side lot setback areas. It was noted in the present
case the house was 7 feet from the side lot line. Therefore, it was necessary,
to shift the lot line of Lot 3, three feet to the south to meet the setback
requirements. However, this created a problem in that the adjacent Lot 2,
would then only have 57 feet of width at the front setback line. Therefore,
staff had suggested that waiver of plat also add an additional three feet to
the south side of Lot 2, reducing the lot width of Lot 1 from 75.25 to 72.25
feet. Bohne moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to recommend approval of the
waiver of plat for Lots 1, 2, and 3, of Block 1, Brittany 4th Addition so that
side yard setbacks could be met and each lot would have a minimum 60 foot
width, subject to the following conditions:
1. Drainage easements shall be reviewed by the Engineering Department

the City Engineer, including the granting of new easements and easement vaca-
tions where necessary.

back requirements.

A hearing regarding the request from Developers Construction, Loren
Spande, for a revised site plan to increase the remaining 8 -unit condominiums
to 14 -unit condominiums on Lots 3, 5, and 6, Hilltop Condominiums was convened
by the Chairman. City Planner Runkle presented the request as a revised site
plan in that a new plat was not required nor were zoning changes necessary.
It was indicated that the larger luxury units previously constructed by the
developer, had not been selling well in this area. Mr. Spande indicated that
he now proposed to construct smaller units of greater number to interest the
types of buyers in the market place. It was indicated that the outside of the
buildings would not be changed from the original plan, except for the number
of garages, and a reduction in the common area courtyard. However, it did
appear that there would be an increase in the square footage of living space.
Many owners of neighboring single family homes were present to voice their
objections arguing that they purchased their .homes partly in reliance on the
original plan to construct the smaller number of luxury type units. They also
complained of inadequate erosion control and the destruction of trees. The
need for additional parking and the increase in traffic were discussed. In
addition, the difficulty of erosion control was addressed by Assistant
Engineer Hefti. The need for additional parking space was discussed, in-
cluding the limiting of access to Hilltop Lane. A motion by Wold for
approval, subject to several conditions died for lack of a second. Hall
moved, Wilkins seconded the, motion to recommend denial of the revision due to
the increase in square footage, contrary to the development contract. All

present to provide an in-depth presentation regarding the history of the
property, its zoning, the comprehensive plan and the proposals for I -35E.
During a very long discussion, it was indicated by the Commission that while
Mr. Horne had plans for development, he had not brought before the Commission
an application for preliminary plat approval, as was the policy when
addressing rezoning applications. It was suggested that with the owner's
indication that development was imminent, that requiring submission of an
application for preliminary plat, to be addressed in conjunction with the
rezoning, would in no way delay development. It was noted by the City Planner
that in the past six years he was not aware of any rezoning granted without an
accompanying application for preliminary plat. Various members expressed
concern that they lacked adequate information for consideration of rezoning.

WILL STENZEL CONSTRUCTION
The hearing regarding the application of Will Stenzel Construction for
preliminary plat approval of proposed Pheasant Knoll was brought before the
Planning Commission. Mr. Runkle made the presentation in regard to the appli-
cation indicating that of the total 18.7 acres purchased by the applicant,
10.1 has been designated for park dedication as part of the Blackhawk Park
PUD. The Park Committee had decided to accept this park dedication, including
part of Heine Pond and the area around it. This left the developer with 8.6
acres upon which he had requested 120 townhouse units. It was noted that this
was above the 6 to 12 units allowed in the R-3 district. Therefore, staff had
suggested that a maximum of 103 units could be allowed. Mr. Will Stenzel was
present to field questions from the Commission and the many neighbors who were
present voicing their concerns regarding the high density use, erosion into
Heine Pond, loss of trees, value of the homes to be constructed, and the
quality of Heine Pond. After considerable discussion, Krob moved, Wilkins
seconded the motion to continue the application to the October meeting to
allow the developer to meet with the neighbors and for staff to provide
