the garages would act as a fence for the property, with internal circulation
for users of the facility. It was indicated that the proposal exceeded the
352 lot coverage requirement to the extent that there would be 45%. lot
coverage. Concern was raised regarding the ability of the adjacent landowner,
Power Tool, to expand its building, due to the zero lot line proposal. The

coverage already. The owner also described the project as being a strictly
one-story building with concrete and brick trim on the outside providing an
aesthetically pleasing building as compared to a Bloomington site. Harrison

in height, although the size of the sign exceeded the 250 square foot standard
for advertising signs. It was indicated that in its discretion, the Council
had in the past, occasionally approved signs of this size adjacent to major
highways. It was pointed out that one or more signs already existed in front
of the Lost Spur and there were questions raised whether this created a
spacing problem under the City Code. The representative of Naegele indicated
that the property on which the sign was to be located was not the original
Osman property but a parcel recently acquired adjacent to the location of the
Lost Spur. Harrison moved, Wilkins seconded the motion to table the

presently in existence at the Lost Spur and its relationship to the
applicant's sign. All voted in favor.

2, Century Addition in that part of the southwest quarter of Section 9, off

application indicating that the sign met City Code requirements. Wilkins
questioned the ability of the second commercial building in the Century

discussed the situation with the neighboring owner and that there was
sufficient room for a smaller sign of the type normally used by that type of a
business. Harrison moved, Trygg seconded the motion to recommend approval'of

Chairman Hall convened the public hearing on the application of Robert

Cliff 2nd Addition in that part of the northeast quarter of Section 34 on
Parkridge,Court. Dale Runkle presented the application, indicating that the
lot was presently vacant and that the owner and proposed builder, Mr.
Beirsdorf was requesting approval of the amateur radio tower prior to
commencement of construction on the lot. Mr. Runkle indicated that City Code
allows a tower up to 37.5 feet. Mr. Steve Thal, an attorney for Mr.
Beirsdorf, appeared and supplied additional information to the Commission
indicating that Mr. Beirsdorf's prior neighbors did not object to the tower
and that the FCC had acted in regard to towers in residential neighborhoods.
Although it appeared that the tower could be cranked up to a height of 55
feet, the applicant indicated that it would not exceed the 37 feet indicated
which would be even with the maximum height of the proposed dwelling unit and
only 7 feet in excess of the height of the garage behind which the tower would
be located, also being sheltered by trees on the sides and back of the lot.
Adjacent owners did appear and address the commission, expressing concern
about the aesthetics of the neighborhood, electronic interference, and an
adverse precedent. A petition was submitted, signed by 33 people from
approximately 15 households. Covenants were discussed by the adjacent owners
indicating that exterior towers were not allowed unless approved by the
architectural control committee. Mr. Dick Winkler appeared as the owner and
developer of the area.and indicated that a tower had been constructed in Park
Cliff 1st Addition, which resulted in the drafting of covenants for the 2nd
and 3rd Additions, which did not allow radio tower without the architectural
committee approval. He did not indicate whether the architectural control
committee would approve the proposed tower. Questions were also raised as to
an apparent error in the Abstractor's list which resulted in many homeowners
not having notice of this hearing. Harrison moved, Wilkins seconded the
motion to postpone the hearing to the next Planning Commission meeting to
allow the applicant to meet with the owners in the area and for staff to
review the issues thereto. All voted in favor. Dale Runkle then pointed out
that if the tower is restricted to less than 37.5 feet, that it is not
necessary to obtain a conditional use permit. Thus, the application could be
withdrawn.

and David Bailey for a lot split of Lot 2, Carlson Acres, located in part of
the northeast quarter of Section 28, adjacent to Diffley Road and west of
Pilot Knob Road. Dale Runkle introduced the application and indicated that
the County had advised the City that a service drive for County Road #30 is
anticipated in its construction plans for upgrading that road, which would
mean that the driveway requested for the lot split would be merely an interim
access. Mr. Harold Peterson of James R. Hill, appeared on behalf of the
applicant and advised the Commission that he had a signed access permit from
Dakota County and requested that the motion be scheduled for the November -6,
1985 council meeting, if possible. Harrison moved, Hall seconded the motion

temporary model home in Brittany 1st Addition, Lot 4,, Block 2, on Norwood
Drive. Dale Runkle presented the application, indicating to the Commission
that the present dwelling unit had been designated as a model home for five
years. It appeared that Brittany 1st Addition was 94% completed and that the
developer was requesting a six month extension in order to sell the property,
and move his business. Mr. Rudolph appeared on behalf of the adjacent
homeowners in Brittany Addition, indicating that the model home was
constructed in 1980 as a parade home, with the builder representing to owners
that as a parade home, the home would be sold in the near future. The
surrounding owners complained that the home was not only a model home, but a
construction office with construction crews, trucks and other vehicles
constantly arriving, departing and parking at the location. It was the
homeowner's position that the proposed use was a violation of the covenants
put in place by Tollefson Builders, and that the lot next to the dwelling was
being used entirely as a gravel parking lot. The owners expressed concern
regarding small children in the area, due to the large amount of traffic,
litter and presence of construction workers. There were complaints of lawn
damage to surrounding homes, traffic and double parking problems, operation of
the business beyond normal hours, and the parking of construction vehicles
overnight and on weekends. There were also complaints about snow removal in
the parking area burdensome to adjacent property owners.
Mr. Wayne Bevers appeared on behalf of Tollefson Builders as the
controller for Tollefson. He indicated the need for the temporary extension
in order to comply with the needs of the neighborhood and to move the
business. Chairman Hall pointed out that model homes are not the same as a
construction office and that moving to another location will not suffice as a
business and is not to be located in a model home under City Code. Harrison
moved, Hall seconded the motion to deny the conditional use permit, subject to
the following conditions and instructions:

that a conditional use was required in addition to a separate application for
