CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota October 26, 1989 Page 7 The Council discussed the requirement for installing curb and the length of time a pre-fabricated building should be allowed.

MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Holton, approving the preliminary plat of Galles Addition (replat of Outlots 7, 9 and 10, Palomino Hills), granting variances to the 120-foot minimum lot width requirement and 30-foot driveway setback between the cul de sac and 309 Cimarron Road, as recommended by the Planning Commission, and directing preparation of a subdivision agreement with the cul de sac designed as an urban road section. Merlin Anderson, 307 Cimarron Road, said he doesn't believe the cul de sac entrance is far enough from his driveway. He would prefer to have his driveway moved to the cul de sac and the City or developer should pay for it. Glen Galles, the developer, said he objects to paying for the driveway relocation. It is presently encroaching three feet onto his property. It was installed incorrectly, over a surveyor's stake, and he does not believe he should have to pay to move it. Councilmember Humphrey asked if the Engineer had an estimate of what the relocation would cost. Mr. Gordon said probably $800 to $1,000. Mr. Galles asked if the cul de sac could be constructed in the center of the right-of-way if the driveway is relocated? The Council agreed. Mayor Branning said Mr. Anderson and Mr. Galles would be asked to work out the location of the driveway with City Staff. MOTION: of Humphrey, seconded by Branning, amending the motion by requiring that the driveway at 307 Cimarron Road be relocated to the new cul de sac and the cost be made part of the developer's project. AMEND MOTION FOR DRIVEWAY AMEND MOTION FOR COST MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Holton, amending the amendment by each party sharing half the cost, subject to Mr. Anderson's cost not exceeding $400.00.

Development, from Agriculture to R-lC, Single Family Residential, as recommended by the Planning Commission. Councilmember Holton asked why tho proposed plat does not include a road connection to The Woods subdivisions? Mr. Kelley said the connection to Dover Drive was believed to be adequate for the 32 lots. It might be desirable, but it is not necessary for The Woods either. Councilmember Holton said he believos it should be required to connect the neighborhoods. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 0. MOTION: of Holton, seconded by Goodwin, approving the preliminary plat of J.V. Development, as recommended by the Planning Commission, except including a road connection to The Woods subdivisions. J.V. DEVELOPMENT PRELIMINARY PLAT Mayor Branning said if road access to The Woods is to be acted on, there should be time allowed for that neighborhood to consider it. Earl Vraa, the developer, said the road stub to The Woods was put in to allow access to the two southern five-acre parcels. They are separated by natural topography and if they had not been included with the plat, that would be their access. Mayor Branning asked why access to Rosemount is being provided in the plat? The property in Rosemount, on the east side of the parcel, did not provide an access toward the west. MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Humphrey, tabling consideration of the preliminary plat for two weeks to address both road access questions. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 0.

A new zoning map will be prepared and existing multiple residential complexes will be placed in the zone where its actual density falls under the maximum permitted. Vacant land zoned for multiple residential will be placed in the zone where the maximin permitted by the old zone will also be permitted under the now zone.
