Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. ORDER OF AGENDA: Vice Chairman Erickson said that Item 4"Meeting with Planning Consultant, B.B. Chapman" will be carried over to the next meeting as Mr. Chapman would not be meeting with the Planning Commission this evening. Mr. Erickson stated that in its place on the agenda the Commission would add the item, "Setting a Public Hearing Date for the Industrial Plat by Great Northern Railroad". He said that if there were no objections, the Commission could proceed with the agenda as outlined. HOWARD DUMPHY: Lots 1-6, B1ock,A, Riverview Heights vacated street and that portion of right-of-way of Minneapolis, Anoka and Cuyuna Ihnge Rail Road Company lying between North line of Cuyuna Range Railroad Company lying between North line of Lot 4 and South line of Lot 1 extended, Lot 1, Block 2, Bourdeaux Spring Brook Addition Lot 32-35 Spring Brook Park Addition rezone from R-1 to P.D. � 2 n August 22, 1968 PAGE 2 Acting Chairman Erickson read the Notice of Hearing on request for approval of a Preliminary Development Plan. The Planning Comm- ission noted that the hearing on the rezoning request had been scheduled for 7:30 and the hearing on the Preliminary Plan scheduled for 8:00. Mr. Erickson read the Notice of Hearing for the purpose of consideration of a request by Howard Dumphy to rezone the des- cribed parcels which was the hearing to be held first. Mr. Erickson reviewed the actions leading up to the present meeting to bring the audience up to date. He said that a petition had been submitted to the City to rezone a portion of this area to Planned Development, and it was approved after Public Hearings by . the Planning Commission and the City Council. He said that one part in question this evening, had been a part of the original layout but had been missed in the rezoning in some way or other. He asked Mr. Dumphy if there was anything he wished to add. Mr. Dumphy stated that he had just recently purchased Lots 34 and 35, Block 10 and had for quite some time owned Lots 32 and 33, Block 10, but somehow did not get included in the original rezoning. The other parcels are lots that he has purchased since the projects inception and are being added to round out the projects. Mr. Erickson reviewed what could be built in Planned Development, n which was any type of occupancy other than industrial. He said that many details, such as material, landscaping, parking, etc. has to be approved and are all part of the plan. �-1EA1�►tJ('o Mr. Jerr Potts, 8066 Ruth Street Northeast, presented a petition to the P1 ing Commission oppossing the rezoning. He read the petition o the Planning Commission h� and stated that the people propose tHe area be left as it is. He said that 100� of the people contacted had been against the rezoning. The Commission studied the petition.

WE PR _ �_1 MOTION by Mhyra, seconded by Ylinen, to receive Petition #26-1968. Upon a voice vote, there being nv nays, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bill Forster, 298 Ely Street Northeast, said that he had contacted one of the larger banks in the Twin City area as to what happens to property values when you have an apartment complex close to you. He said that the bank had informed him that in most cases n it can lower property values by 5o to 10��. One reason being that the property is harder to sell, and they do not feel you can obtain as large a loan, so the value is lowered. a� n n AUGUST 22, 1968 PAGE 3 Mr. Gary Pearson, 291 Ely Street Northeast, said he had worked hard and had attended meetings to get street�and storm sewer improvements in, and now that they have just increased their property values with these improvements, he was totally against any form of planned development in the area. He said the property owners�will have an assessment of about $1,000, and with a 5� decrease in value, an average home will realize a loss of more than the improvement they have just put in. Mr. Pearson also said that the people in the area had understood that the concept was to be town houses, and he asked why there was a change in the type of building. Mr. Erickson asked him how long he had lived in the area. Mr. Pearson said he had lived there two years, and when he had asked the former owner, he was told the zoning was R-1. Mr. Robert Venne, 200 Hugo Street, asked if the original plat plan had included the areas now being requested for rezoning. Mr. Erickson explained that the area on Ruth Street was included on the preliminary plan, but had been omitted in the rezoning request. Mr. Venne asked if it had been included in the rezoning when it was sent on to the Council. Mr. Erickson said no, they had approved the rezonning on the legal description given. Mr. Venne asked what would keep Mr. Dumphy from coming back again with another little area for approval. Mr. Erickson said that the answer to this would be owner- ship. He said that Mr. Dumphy owned all this property except one piece on Hugo Street which he had acquired since. Mr. Erickson said that any property owner can ask for rezoning. Mrs. Arlene Bartylla, 299 Liberty Street Northeast, said that she objected to the traffic the apartments would bring. She said there were 30 children on the north side of Liberty already, and no playgrounds. She said sh� would object to garages and garbage cans facing her home. Mr. Erickson sairi that the garages will be on East River Road, and that the front of the apartments would be facing her home. Mr. Pearson said that many people did not get notices after the last meeting had been rescheduled because of the lack of a quorum. He also said that the people had originally understood that the con-� cept was to be townhouses, and many felt that this would be an im- provement for the area. He said that because of increased interest on the part of the property owners, they had found out that this was not the actual type of structure to be built. Mr. Allen Lueck, 8000 East River Road, said that he noted that stores were going in with parking planned for 200 cars. He said that it was hard to turn off East River Road now and with 200 more cars, the residents will never get in and out. � Mr. Erickson reminded the visitors that most of the area in question is already zoned Planned Development, and only three small parcels are being added - on Ruth Street in the upper northeast corner of the area; on the southeast corner of Hugo Street and East n AUGUST 22, 1968 PAGE 4 _ � River Road, and a third parcel just south of that in the northeast corner of Fairmont Circle-East River Road. The rest is already zoned. Mr. Pearson asked if it was possible for the people at this meeting to request that this be rezoned to R-1. He said that with the Planned Development on one side and commercial on the other, this will be a ghetto area in 20 years, and he would not want to live there. He said that if the present property owners could request rezoning to R-1 this may at least tie it up for a long time. The Engineering Assistant said that this would be a legal question on whether a petitioner could request a rezoning for property he does not own. A visitor asked if the change in zoning was put through because the people were erroneously mislead. Mr. Erickson said that th�s request had been conducted through a period of six to nine �onths, and nothing had been under cover. He said that hearings had been held and plans laid out for every one to see. Mr. Mhyra said that this is a two way proposition. For the Planning Commission to try to do careful planning, they need corresponding interest on the part of the community. He said he would resent someone saying the Commission had tried to sneak something through. He said that as a n Commission they try to get the people's impression, but if they stay away, the Commission does not know what they are in favor of. Mr. Curtis Walberg, 265 Ely Street, said that if the only thing they were considering are the little extra parts of land, a 108 apartment complex could not be built on them and they should have to start over at the beginning for the whole area. Mr. Jensen pointed out that the Planned Development had already been approved, and the petitioner could have put parking on the one part he is asking be added to the PD District. Mrs. Moritko, 228 Ely Street, said she hoped the Planning Commission would turn down this request because they will cut down the trees, and fill in the area, or they will need a retaining wall, and this, she felt, would really drop property value. Mr. Erickson said that in a PD District the Council controls the plans. A visitor to the meeting asked why they were not going to put up townhouses. Mr. Dumphy said that Mr. Schroeder had suggested townhouses for Ruth Circle, but Mr. Dumphy had not agreed because the City of �ridley had to buy some of the property for a park. He said that if the park bond issue had passed, that parcel would have been included in park plans. He said that there had been a plan for a shopping center in front, and they could not get financing because the back of the shopping center would face the townhouses. n Mr. Dumphy said that this land had been vacant for many years. He showed on the map where the commercial area had been befoxe �t was a PD District. He said that anything could have been put in thexe. A vY.srtox �ai.d that he had talked to hi,s Counc�lman, and his � n n AUGUST 22, 1968 PAGE S main concern seemed to be the taxes they could get for PD over R-1. The visitor said that this may help Fridley as a whole, but not the neighboring residents. Mr. �'earson asked what steps the people would have to take to see the property zoned R-1. Mr. Erickson said they could ask the City Attorney and he could tell them. A visitor asked how this could be rezoned when the Commission does not know what is going in. Mr. Jensen said that the purpose of PD is for better control. He stated that the petitioner is re- quested to submit a plan of what he is going to do and a great deal of information on material, lighting, parking. He said that the whole plan must be approved by the Planning Commission and City Council and public hearings held before it is approved. Mr. Erickson said that the request for approval of the Preliminary Plan was'the second hearing, and at present they were considering the rezoning request. Mr. Jensen said that the discussion should concern the zoning to PD of these three parcels, and when th3�s is accomplished one way or another, then the Commission will proceed to the Public Hearing on the preliminary plan. He stated that one plan was approved by the Planning Commission and City Council, and it is being re- quested that changes relative to style of building, and the boundaries for the two parcels is being made, but there is no change in the number of units requested. Mr. Jensen said that when it was origin- ally approved, he felt it was a good addition to the neighborhood plan. Mr. Erickson said he did not think the Planning Commission should have to defend themselves. He said tl�at they had gone through enough hearings on this project, and in his opinion, it did not hurt property values. Mr. Myhra said that if it was the traffic the people were con- cerned about, a traffic consultant had been called in with traffic counts and traffic had been taken into consideration. Mr. Jensen said that the petitioner had been required to give an additional right-of-way on East River Road so that right and left turn lanes could be provided. Mrs. Kenneth Sporre, 301 Ironton Street N.E., stated she has been coming to meetings and would like to speak in defense of the Planning Commission and the Council. She said that the people com- plaining this evening should have been more active, and come and asked such things as why the children have to wait for buses on East River Road, and why there is no park. She said she had been to the meetings and had never seen such detailed plans. She wondered how many people present knew what the actual plans looked like. Mr. Pearson said he lived right on Ely and Mrs. Sporre lived on Ironton which was a little ways away and she would not be affected, Mr. Jen�en suggested that the first hearing on the rezoning be � closed, and they could continue the discussion during the pre- liminary plan hearing. l� � n AUGUST 22, 1968 MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Ylinen, to Hearing on Rezoning Request (ZOA #68-1- and by Mr. Howard Dumphy. There being no nays, the Public Hearing was closed at 9:00 P.M. close the ZOA 68-10A) the motion PAGE 6 Public as requested carried and Mr. Erickson said that the Commission had three courses of action: To recommend denial of the request, recommend approval of the request or continue it to a later date. �Ir. Myhra said he would be in favor of continuing the hearing until the secand portion of the hearing on the preliminary plan had been held. Mr. Erickson felt that�action should be taken on the first hearing before they went forwatd to the second hearing. The Commission members studied the map of the area, and discussed the three areas under consideration at the table. eov�Je.�l. � . MOTION by Jensen, to recommend approval f rezoning request (ZOA +�6$-10 and ZOA #�68-10A� requestin� a ange in zoning of three parcels from R�1 to P.D. Mr. Jensen sai that his feeling relative to the proposal is that in at least one ense of the word, it pro, vides�the Planning Commission and City an opportunity to better serve the residents of the neighborhood by providing a� detailed plan and a.buffer to the neighboring homes. He stated that under the previous zoning and under the zoning code of the City, if these lots were not in �D, they coul� have been used for purposes other �than single family�homes without the control which is allowed by the PD zoning. He said the lots could have been used for parking as part of the planned uses and no screening of any soit would necessarily have been required. He said that including it into PD zoning�will allow the Planning Commission control to exercise their judgement and control over the use of the property. The motion was seconded by Mhyra. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.. The audience was told that the recommendation of the Planning Commission would go to the City�Council at tlieir meeting of Septem- ber 3rd, and the public�hearing will probably be set for the second Monday in October. PUBLIC HEARI VE PRELIMINAR', PLANS FOR AREA P.D. . _ STED Acting Chairman Erickson had previously read the Notice of Hearing during the Public Nearing on the rezoning request. Mr. . Erickson explained that the Planning Commission had�held an infor- mai meeting June 20th when guidelines had been laid out for changes requested in the preliminary plans for the P.� area. The Engineering Assistant asked Mr. Dumphy if he had his plans on the commerciai�plat. Mr. Dumphy said that there was the problem�of getting the cart b8- fore the horse, and he did not want to spend the money for commercial n plans, if there was not going to be ground available. He said that he did have a sketch of the building. Mr. Erickson asked if the Commission wanted to continue this hearing until the Council has acted on the xezoning. Mr. Dumphy said�that he would like to present what they do"'hav�� s�� that �,� Could show the plot plan and exterior design o� the apartment buildings to the audience for their information, but there was no way that this could be � n AUGUST 22, 1968 approved at this time. PAGE 7 Mr. James Solverson, designer on the project, showed the plan to the Commission and explained it to the people present. He said there would be a pool in the center of the complex and a general recreation area. There would be plantings and shrubs as a buffer from the�street. He said the cars coming onto Ruth Street would be kept to a minimum, and most of them wduld use Liberty. He explained that the truck loading plans for the commercial area are not final- ized, as they do not know what kind of businesses will be going in. He said that they have shown dedication of 24' to the City to widen East River Road. Mr.Solverson showed the audience a picture of the exterior of the building . He said there will be 108 units with a combination of brick and stucco and a 5' recess for balconies. He then showed an interior plan of the buzlding. Mr. Solverson told the Pl�nning Commission that after he had met with them, he had gone to the Council with the preliminary plan and they felt that the building did not have to be all brick, and left it more or less up to the designers on what they finally chose. Mr. Jensen said he still thought the brick should run to the ground. Mr. Ylinen asked about their development schedule. Mr. Solverson Said that originally n they had thought they would start in the fall, but now he was sure it would be spring. Mr. Pearson came to the front to look at the plans. He said that there will be junk cars sitting in the parking lots, blowing paper, and suggested there should be a 6' redwood fence as there would be no buffer. Mr. J. T. Potts, 8066 Ruth Street Northeast, said he was concerned about the slight change from the original. He said he looked out now on trees and a slope, but this plan is a changed grade and it will kill the trees. He and Mr. Pearson discussed the changes that will be made in the grade while studying the map. Mr. Potts asked if there was any requirements on the size of trees planted. Mr. Jensen said that the final plans will include these requirements. Mr. Potts was asked what he would recommend, and he said he thought evergreens, with some size to them, along with deciduous trees for all seasons. Mr. Erickson said he agreed with the people on preserving the beauty, but pointed out to them that if the petitioner wanted, he could cut all the trees down at present. He said that the Commission is trying to protect the neighborhood and get the best thing possible for the area. Mr. Jensen said that one of the protections of PD is giving a plan that specifies exactly what tree, type and size is to be put in, and the certificate of occupancy will not be issued until this is complied with or bonded for. Mr. Myhra said that there is an approved plan that presumably the petition could go ahead with. He said that they have to keep n in mind that this is an amended plan. � � n AUGUST 22, 1968 PAGE 8 There was a discussion among the visitors present about whether Mr. Dumphy presently owned Lots 32, 33, 34 and 35. Mr. Erickson asked Mr. Dumphy if he did own the lots at the present time. Mr. Dumphy said that he owns Lots 32 and 33 and purchased Lots 34 and 35 in June, and although there is still some title work to be finished, he could furnish a purchase agreement to the�Council. A visitor asked if the plan is approved when the Planned Develop- ment District is approved. Mr. Erickson said no, that the design itself would have to be approved after the area is rezoned. If the Council approved the PD, they are not necessarily approving the preliminary plan. Before it can be approved, all requirements in the ordinance have to be complied with. The visitor asked if the whole plan has to be approved now that it was changed. The Assistant Engineer stated the new plan constitutes a change or more than 10$ therefore a new hearing must be held before approval of the revised plan. MOTION by Ylinen, seconded by Myhra, to continue this public hearing on approval of preliminary plans for PD area as requested by Howard Dumphy until such time as the City Council has taken action on the rezoning request #ZOA #68-10 and ZOA M68-10A. The Commission said that the City Council Public Hearing would probably by October 14th and this hearing would be continued on October 24, 1968. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. VACATION RE UEST: SAV �68-15 PETER J. LINDBERG: 24 FOOT SERVICE RIVE in est o an ara e to ast iver oa an ort O 1SS1SS1pD1 treet : Mr. Peter J. Lindberg was present at the meeting. The Engineer- ing Assistant reviewed the minutes of the Plats and Subdivisions, Streets and Utilities Subcommittee Meeting of August 21, 1968 recommending approval of the vacati�z request with the stipulation that the petitioner provide the City with 13 feet more right-of-way for East River Road making a total of 63 feet of right-of-way of the existing center line. The Engineering Assistant said that it has been determined the County will end up with 50 feet west of the center line as it is travelled today. He stated that the 13 feet to be dedicated, if it is vacated, will be in addition to the SO'. He said there will be four 12' �'-��ving lanes and one 15' boulevard with sidewalks if constructed t� lip outside the new right-of-way. MOTION b mendation of Subcommittee stipulation right-of-way no nays, the LOT SPLIT RE y Jensen, seconded by Myhra, to concur with the recom- the Plats and Subdivisions, Streets and Utilities and recommend approval of the vacation request with the. that the petitioner prov�de the City with 13 feet more for East River Road.

Mr. Erickson asked Mr. Ratley if he owned this property. Mr. Ratley said he had bought it about 6 months ago from Mr. Hirsch. Mr. Jensen asked what the purpose is of the adjustment in the size of the lots. The Engineering Assistant said that this was to add • width to the corner lot. The Engineering Assistant suggested that the Commission could concur in general with the idea of the lot split and Mr. Ratley would not have to come back to the next meeting, but could just bring in the survey. Mr. Jensen said that he felt the survey should be before the Commission before they take action on it. Mr. Myhra said that the next meeting would be September 12th which would give him plenty of time to bring the survey in. Mr. Ratley said he would like to get started getting the old building torn down. Mr. Jensen said that this could be started without the lot split. Mr. Jensen explained that our ordinance would require Mr. Ratley to p�at this property, but an exception can be made if the description is very simple. Mr. Ratley said he would bring his �i survey in to the Engineering Department. � MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Myhra, to continue Lot Split request L.S. #68-13 as requested by Orville Ratley to the Planning Commission Meeting of September 12, 1968. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. SETTING THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE INDUSTRIAL PLAT AS REQUESTED BY �� .-.a ..va�aaaa.ni� �1LniiI I.uMYH1Vi The Commission looked at the plat. Mr. Erickson said that he had looked at the plans for the Plywood Minnesota plant that will be built in this plat. Mr. Erickson asked if the Plats and Subdivisions- Streets and Utilities Subcommittee has looked at this plat. Mr. Jensen said that they will be meeting next Thursday for an on-the- site inspection at 7:30 in the evening, and he invited the Commission to come if they would like to. The Commission discussed the date of September 12th for a public hearing. Mr. Jensen said that they would be ready by then in Plats and Subdivisions-Streets and Utilities. MOTION by Myhra, seconded by Jensen, to set the date of Septem- ber 12, 1968 as the Public Hearing on the Industrial Plat for the Great Northern Railway Company. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. . � � � 0 AUGUST 22, 1968 REVISIONS TO SIGN AND BILLBOARD CONTROL ORDINANCE: PAGE 10 Mr. Erickson suggested that the Commission hold this item over to their meeting of September 12th, at which time they will have more time to work on it.

Mr. Mickley called to the attention of the Board that the contractor for existing dwelling made an error in side yaxd set backe when pouring the footinge wherein the side yard set backs are 20 feet instead of 25 feet, and 15 feet instead of 10 feet, neither being in violation of any Code but making it necessary for the requeat for a side yaxd variance of Section 45•23 (a)• This wae confirmed by a copy of the original building permit. MOTION by Mittelstadt to close the public heaxing. Seconded by Miniah. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion caxried una�imously. MOTION by i�littelstadt to grant the two vaxiances because the owner was a victim of circumstances inasmuch as the house was not placed on the property as originally planned, and due to the contour of the lot it prohibits the construction or uae of a detached gara,ge and it does not cauae a hazard by reducing the front yard aet back and also due to the fact that none of the adjoining property owners were present to prese.nt an objection to the requested variance.

IIpon a voice vote, there being no na.ys, the motion caxried una.nimously. MOTION by Minish to grant this variance as there is a haxdahip in the request. On most corner lots the side street side yard is 17 feet 6 inches, whereas in this case the house is restricted to 35 feet to line up with the other houses. Also, other home owners in the area have been granted similax variancea to build detached garages.

The Subcommittee discussed the status of this lot split after which Mr. Schmedeke made a motion to table this item until the Hyde Park Zoning Study could be completed. Seconded by Myhra. It was then determined that the original action to table this item was contingent upon Mr. Zizak providing proof that he has or could purchase enough land to make legal size building sites for double bungalows. A vote on the motion showed Mr. Schmedeke voting yes, and Myhra, Nagel and Jensen voting against the motion. Motion failed. MOTION by Myhra seconded by Nagel to table•L.S. #68-03 until such time as Mr. Zizak has provided the City with written documents stating his right to purchase that part of 571/2 Avenue needed to make his existing parcel large enough for a double bungalow building sites. All members voting yes, the Chairman declared the motion passed unanimously. Albrecht arrived at 7:50 P.M. 2. Vacation Re uest: SAV #68-05, Peter�J. Lindber : The 24 foot service rive easement lying west o an parallel to East River Road north of Mississippi Street). Mr. Peter Lindberg and Robert Schroer were present to represent the petition. � . Engineering Assistant explained that the County now has a total right-of-way of 83 feet, - 33 feet east of center line and 50 feet west of center line. It is our offices recommen- dation that room be provided for four (4) 12 foot lanes and a 15 foot boulevard west of center line making a total of 63 feet therefore`we will ultimately need an additional 13 feet. Clark also st�ted that if sidewalks were to be constructed, it would have to be put outside the 96 foot right-of-way. Lindberg explained that he had been working with the County on cleaning up the exact location of the right-of-way and that they have completed this and are now a'sking the City to vacate tiie 24 foot street right-of-way that lies West of and is e ��7 PLATS �, SUBS. -STR.

Mr. Lindberg stated that he was quite sure that this would meet with their approval. . Harold MOTION by Daryl Nagel seconded by �Fe�� Albrecht to recommend approval of the vacation request SAV #68-05 being a 24 foot service drive lying West of and parallel to East River Road and North of Mississippi Street with the stipulation that the petitioner provide the City with 13 feet more right-of-way for East River Road making a total of 63 feet of right-of-way West of existing center line. Upon a voice vote all voting aye, motion carried unanimously. 3. Proposed Plat P.S. #68-03, Southhampton 2nd Addition: No one was present, therefor a motion by Nagel seconded by Myhra to table this item untii the next meeting was made and passed unanimously. 4. Lot S lit re uest: L.S. #68-13, Orville Ratle : Lot 30, Broo view A dition Except t at part or e icated street over the South 20 feet and the West 120 feet). Mr. Ratley was present and stated they intend to demolish the existing structure and build two new single family homes � on the lot. He stated that they would like to split the 176 feet along 66th into equal frontages, � The Committee asked Mr. Ratley if he had considered making the corner parcel larger to compensate for the extra sideyard necessary for corner lots. Mr. Ratley stated that he had not, but, can see where this would make the corner lot more desirable as a building site. MOTION by Albrecht seconded by Schmedeke to recommend approval of lot split L.S. #68-13, with the interior lot to be 82 feet and the corner lot to be the balance or approximately 94 feet, and that the petitioner would be required to supply the City with the proper legal descriptions for the new parcels. Upon a voice vote all voting aye, moti..on passed unanimously. 5. A visitor, Mr. Glenn M. Shaw, Land Agent for Great Northern Railways, asked if he could present an industrial park layout to the committee: Chairman Jensen asked Mr. Shaw to show his plan and explain their proposal. The area involved is about 106 acres located betweene�Interstate Hwy. #694 and FMC Corp. on the East side of East River Road, The land will be divided by a Registered Land Survey with the individual tracts ranging from .6 of an acre to S acres. This will give the developer great flexibility in the sale of the property. An example would be, if someone would want 40 acres n n-- n PLATS � SUBS. - STR. � UTIL. SUBCOMMITTEE August 21, 1968 PAGE 3�� they then would combine several small tracts to add up to the 40 acre tract. It was also noted that right-of-ways for streets were also given lot numbers so that they could be deeded to the City in stages, so if a firm did purchase a very large tract, the streets may not be necessary, therefore, it could be sold together with the large tract. The first lot to be sold is Lot 1 to Plywood Minnesota therefore, they are petitioning the City to install water, sewer and street surfacing in Lot 8. The road will be built 38 feet wide with a.curb on one side and the final 1 inch mat left off. It will ultimately be built 40 feet wide with curbs on both sides after which the final mat will be put on. __ Rccess to East River Road that the most northerly access South of the ramp to #694. was discussed. Mr. Shaw stated would�be approximately 960 feet There are more railroad spurs shown than will be built, the reason here again is flexibility in development, being all to come from different directions or even possibly eliminate some of the spurs if large tracts are developed. All street right-of-ways will be 66 feet wide and all radii to be 50 feet wide. The committee expressed a desire to table this matter until August 29 and at that time they would meet with Mr. Shaw on the site to better aquaint themselves with the area. MOTION by Myhra seconded by Nagel to table this matter' until 7:30 P.M. on August 29, 1968 at the site. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, motion passed unanimously. 6. The next unscheduled item considered was a letter of resignation from Mr. Vern Albrecht to become effective on October 1, 1968. Mr. Albrecht will be moving away from the City this fall. MOTION by Nagel seconded by Myhra to accept the letter of resignation with regret and with an expression of great thanks in having Mr. Albrecht as a member for so many years. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, motion carried unanimously. 7. Mr. Thomas Marxen, a visitor and petitioner for Lot Split #68-10, stated to the commit�tee that he will be able to purchase 10 feet of Lot 4 which would give him a new total of 172 feet. He then asked if any of the members would express their opinion on 71 foot lots. , Chairman Jensen stated that he doubted that any member would want to make any statement along these lines until the item was placed officially on the agenda and that he should have a prelimi�nary plat drawn including the ten feet and submit it for Committee action. It was also suggested that he might see if � � - . �� PLATS $ SUBS. - STR. � UTIL.

SeCo�dly, �.t was his understanding, after speaking t0 a registered land surveyor, that the R.I�.S, was only meant to be a method of �lim�.nating a long metes and bounds description on single or limited rtumbeT 4� tract� not a method of d�viding a large tract into a large numbex of tracts to be sold the same as lots, Mr, J�nsen went on to say that he had been giving this matter c�u�.t+� a bit o£ ihought and had not made up his own mind as to what on c��w this pxaperty could best be divided but wanted some discussion pn the method of division. Mr, Shaw �tated that he felt the platting method was drawn up fAx r�aiden��al developments where the size of lots is standard and th�re is anly a slight chance that £urther division of lots is #�p��saaxy� a1�4 development of such plans can aften be estimated at�d �har� i� �eldom any time problem. Mr. Shaw went on to explain that in an industrial park, no one can predict the individual size of lots or can say when they will sell; also if a prospective buyer would want to purchase a parcel, the sale could de�,end upon the tinie that it would take to get the parcel ready ior c�nstr�ictien to e:ommence.
