ORDER OF AGENDA•
1.
Item ��3, Meeting with Planning Consultant, B.B. Chapman, was continued
to the first meeting in October, which is the lOth, unlass a special meeting
can be set up for this item. Item �E is just a notation. Inasmuch as there
was no one present for Item ��1, the meeting began with the Public Hearing.
� �i = . � . vvo—v� l;ic�AT NUKTHERN
GLENN SHAW: Southeast Coraer of T.H. �694 and East River Road.
MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Myh•ra, that the reading of the Public Hearii�g
notice be waived. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimoualy,
Mr. Robert Brokopp, General Land Agent of the Great Northern Railway,
gave a short review of the platting request, stating the property (Southeast
quadrant of T.H. �b94 and East River Road) was purchased to be developed as
industrial in December, 1966. It was decided to use the Registered Land
n Survey as the method of diviaion of the land because it lends itself to a
flexible development of the propert�. The plan had been to the Plats � Sub-
divisions-Streets 6 Utilities Subco�ittee and now is at the public hearing
stage. This eveni�g a preliminary copy of the Declaration of Protective
Coveaaats was preseated t.; the Coffii,ssion members. The Company did not feel
theq could dedicate roadways until they could see how the property would
develop, but they will dedicate the roads. The property to the North was not
registered.
The Engineering Assistant said he had talked to the County Surveyor and
was told that the Registered Land Survey is a legal procedure that would be
accepted for recording.
Mr. Shaw stated that the entire acreage is one piece of praperty. A
8egistered Land Su�s�gr plat has tract letters so that they can convey any
combinati�on of parcels and it would not harm the balance of the property.
Vice Chaiswan Erickson asked if the Regiatered Land Survey were filed
now, is it correct that the only atreet dedication would be the Tract "J"
on the m$p presented this evening. He was informed this was correct.
The Planning Co�ission expressed deep concern over the receiving of atreet
dedicationa in the future.
Mr. Shaw referred to Section 9 of the Protective Covenants saying they
had tried to make it as comprehensive as possible. They felt Section 2 would
,�', completely take care of this situation. If anyone bought a tract of laad,
he would be informed of the protectiv.e covenants. A1so, he could not go to
8�rCS88e compeaq aad get money to construct a building without proper acces�.
The only way he could get fundiag would be tp meet these protective covenaate.
• Ae far ae dedication of theae streets are cancerned, it should be a simple
- S
i�"1 dedication iastrumeat. As of this time, as these streeta are requi�ed, �be
Co�►pany will petition to the City to construct thea� facilities. �ey
plaaaed a nine ton road which they felt exceeds the City's require�eats.
Theae protective covenants presented this evening are the prelimia$ry copies
geaerally approved by the Cqmpany and are in the process of being checked for
continuity. The general iriteat is there.
Regardiag the whole aspect, Mr. Jeasen commented he would like to see
the City enter into some kind of develqpmeat coatract between the developer
aad the City. The City Attorney ag�eed to diacusa it, but they were aever
able to get together. He thought further eacploration of thia poeaibility
wae neceasary. He also said he thought a terrific job had been doae in tha
crn►eaaats, but there mu�t be no misuadersteadi�g in the fu�ure of the
eptrances and the City'� obligatioa.
Referring to futuxe atreets, Mr. Shaw �aid his Company would have to
have an acceptance signed by the City aad a reaolution by the Council to
accept the dedication. After dedication is accepted, the City doea not have
to maintain them until built to their standards. He continued that they
underatand why �e �o�ission is concesned and are sympathetic with them,
but they think that part of it ie well covered. They cannot dedicate atreets
w�thout the City accepting them and caa't conatruct etreete without City
accepting them, and then if the streete and layout do not mect the City'e
�PPr�►a1, the City does not have to accept the plan. The atandard ordinaace
for residential development says nothiag about industrial, Mr. Shaw added.
n In this area the streets are going to be wide and there will be no parking�
as they did not want to clutter the area.
Speaking to Mr. Shaw, Mr. Jensen said that he would like the opportunity
to review same of this with the City Attoraey to werify your.undesstaadiag of
the law and our decisioa.
Mr. Shaw said he believed the City Ordinance� would cover the poasibility
of aever aelling a lot without sufficient access.
Mr• H�arvey Petersoa, County Co�iesioner, arrived and eaid he was prese�tt
from the County's etandpoint. The County liked the plan but the Couatq
Engiaeer would like to aee, on the proposed plat, where accese was plasmed
oato East River Road. Mr. St►aw replied that theq had received approval fro�
the Ttaffic Depart�ent of Anoka Couaty Highway.
Mr. Wheeler Smith of P'1�fC Corporation was preeent and said his Company wae
iatereated in the description.
Mr. Peterson referred to the cloverleaf at the northwest cosaer of tlie
Regiatered Laad Survey, stating the additional traffic geaerated from thia
proposed project would create more of a bottleaeck thaa what ie present naw.
Mi'• 31'►aw said this is a State Highway Depastm�at matte� as it ie their
� project aad they did not have aaything to do with that and thie problem ie
•ntisely separated from thie development.

s�on Meetin� - Se�tember 12, 196
� . P�Ir. Shaw said a letter was seat to the Count
pl� �� 8 �o y Engineer'e offiee with the
py of the letter was producedo
It was brought up by Mr, Shaw that the type of bueia�ae Plywood �eeota
i8 ia ia allowed uader M-a (Heavy Tndustrial Diatrict) which allaws almoet
everything.
Mr. Peterson said there would be a Road-Bridge �eting on Mronday at t11e
County and then the access point will be looked at. The problem of traffic
will be discuased. He realized a d�reloper caEmot be reatricted becauee of
�raffic.and the County has to do tiieir best to keep circulation ae free as
possible.
1'�r. Myhra asked what the disadvaatagea were of i�aving the acce�s further
South. Mr. Shaw answered the basic objection would be the leagtheniag dead
end street.
There was more discussion regardiag exits, such aa sugg�atiag two differeat
exits on East Riv��° ����.�aith �mple stacking space. Whea Mr. Shaw waa �elced
how much it would upaet their plasi to have the proposed exit �oved, he eaid
it was plaaned for simplicity aad this would tend to camplicate the plan. Mr.
Shaw continued that they do have �his access and if the traffic gete to be too
coagested, they caa use those croasovera if ineces�ary. The main bueiness of
Plywood Minnesota is conducted when the othex bueiaesses are not workiag
Plywood Minnesota is a plaaned united developmeat in a way and they can adjust
n their hours of opening and closing to suit themselees. Horaever, their largest
amount of traffic would be on Saturday,
I�TION by Jeneen, seconded by Myhra, that the planning Co�i,seioa concur
with the gensral plans of the Preliminary Plat, P.S. �{58-05, Registered Land
Survey, of the Great Northern Industrial Park beiag the Southeast cosner of
