In addition, he recommended the rezoning from R-4 to R-3 for Phase I only and in the event 6 L b Council Minutes October 16, 1984 that Healey-Ramme proceeds, that the R-3 zoning would become effective for the balance of the parcel, otherwise remain R-4.

In addition, the Park and Recreation Commission met on October 4, 1984 and made recommendations for the project. Dale Runkle detailed the application and noted the major issue of the Advisory Planning Commission was density. He stated that he had recalculated density by determining the private streets and found that the proposal would then exceed the ordinance requirement but that a revision in the number of bedrooms per unit would result in compliance with the City provisions. Bob Worthington appeared and explained the background, indicating that an EAW was submitted to the Environmental Quality Board in 1982 and there were no objections and no EIS was required. Certain neighboring property owners were present and objected to the drainage into the lake, including excessive runoff and lowering the quality of the lake. Mr. Colbert explained the sizing of the outlet from-the lake, indicating that it had been sized to accommodate industrial and multiple family housing to the east. Tom Healey appeared and stated that the County Engineer generally agrees with the alignment of the access, including the private access along the Poppler Addition and the platted street access on Lone Oak Road, directly across from Eagandale Blvd. Councilmen Thomas and Smith were concerned about the length of the westerly cul-de-sac and suggested a loop running southerly. There were also strong concerns about access from the business zoned property 8 Council Minutes October 16, 1984 and the R-4 property to the east. Councilmembers suggested a layout of the land to the east, including the business zoned area and the R-4 which would eliminate the lengthy cul-de-sac along the west line of the proposed subdivi- sion. Councilman Thomas recommended a looped street through all three parcels with a provision for one major access and one minor access from Lone Oak Road. Mayor Blomquist asked whether 65% of the site was proposed to be graded and was concerned about compliance with City ordinances. Smith moved, Egan seconded the motion to require the application to be returned to the Advisory Planning Commission, with the understanding that the applicant will present a plan for development of all three parcels to allow the Planning Commission and City Council to determine whether adequate traffic patterns are established, including access to Lone Oak Road, and further, whether all other ordinances will be complied with, including the proposed Shoreland Zoning Ordinance. One neighbor was strongly concerned about traffic increase on Lone Oak Road due to the three access points, including Poppler Drive. It was noted that the proposed density is higher than the Comprehen- sive Guide has proposed for the property in question. All members voted in favor. SEE PLAT FILE LEMAY LAKE - MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BOND APPLICATION Smith moved, Egan seconded the motion to close the hearing regarding the multi-family housing revenue bond issue and to deny the project, noting that a revision will be proposed to the preliminary plat and that it would presumably be considered again by the City Council.
