END OF CONSENT AGENDA
Mr. Melena said the proposal for Carrollton Estates 5th Addition was CARROLLTON EST.
tabled at the July 28, 1988, meeting to address issues raised by the 5TH DISCUSSION
residents. An informational meeting was held August 11, 1988, and OF ISSUES
the residents will be presenting some recommendations. It is recom-
mended the Council receive these recommendations and refer this project back to the
Planning Commission for consideration of these issues. Speaking for the residents were
Steve Zaudtke, Mark Ceminsky and Carol Berg.
Steve Zaudtke presented a petition from the residents requesting the Council to consider
solutions for the problems they believe exist in their development. Mr. Zaudtke said
the four issues deal with traffic on Guthrie Avenue, the location of the quadhomes, the
impact of the proposed armory on the area, and pedestrian crossings to parks.
Mr. Zaudtke said one of the incorrect preliminary maps, which still shows up on the
City's zoning map, showed Guthrie Avenue isolated from the business area by single
family lots. The four lots were removed and there is now no visual separation from the
retail area. Many children live on Guthrie and Haven and increased traffic is a
concern. He questioned what was meant by the Administrator's suggestion of warehouse
use on the business site at Pennock and 147th Street.
CITY OF APPLE VALLEY

The residents would like the road patterns looked at; rerouting Guthrie or ending it in
a cul de sac. Keep three or four single family lots along Guthrie at 147th Street.
Construct a dense berm between the residential and business zones. Restrict business
traffic from driving through the neighborhood on Guthrie and Haven Drives.
Mr. Melena said the suggestion was for office/warehouse type use rather than retail on
the site at Pennock and 147th to reduce the volume of traffic. In place of the three or
four lots, berming and.landscaping were suggested because a large storm sewer pipe runs
through that area.
Mark Ceminsky said the map they were given showed quadhomes on the southeast side of
147th Street, not on the northwest side where they are. To buffer them from the single
family area, a double row of evergreens is suggested. Three or four houses are directly
affected by the quads; the worst being 14731 Guthrie. This house should be repurchased
and some value adjustment made on the other houses.
In regard to the armory/park issue, Mr. Ceminsky said they suggest the City buy the
entire property between Hayes Road and 147th Street. he armory should be located at
147th and County Road 42 with access off 147th Street. Instead of 12 single family
lots, the City could develop eight lots with access to a park on the remainder of the
property. This would also allow future expansion of the fire station.
Carol Berg said they are concerned about a pedestrian crossing on Hayes for children
walking to Westview. There is a crossing guard at 145th and Hayes, but it is not a
direct access for the children. Cross'lng should be provided at Upper 145th and Hayes
with a pathway around the Community Center parking lot to the school.
Nancy McDermott said they would like to have tot lot playground equipment in any park
that is developed.
Mr. Ceminsky said the representatives would meet with the Planning Commission to discuss
the recommended changes. They would also like to discuss notification procedures for
any future public hearings. Mr. Melena said the Planning Commission is where this
should be discussed further with a recommendation to the City Council by September 15th.
MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Humphrey, referring the residents~ REFER CARROLLTON
suggested recommendations for Carrollton Estates 5th Addition 5TH TO PLANNING
to the Planning Commission for consideration with a COMMISSION
recommendation made to the City Council not later than
September 15, 1988.
Councilmember Savanick said some type of tot lot/park should be provided to serve
neighborhood needs. Councilmember Goodwin agreed that all the recommendations should be
discussed with the Planning Commission. Councilmember Humphrey asked Staff to work with
the School DistriCt to see what accommodations for crossing Hayes Road can be made. Bob
Erickson, Planning Commission Chair, said all Planning Commission meetings are open to
the public and he would encourage the residents to attend.
Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 0.

Mr. Melena reviewed the draft resolution concerning Palomino Ridge
townhouses, contained in Mr. Kelley's memo dated August 25, 1988.

RES. 1988-140
PALOMINO RIDGE
DENY REZONING
APPROVE PLAT
MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Humphrey, adopting Resolution No.
1988-140 making a finding for denial of the proposed rezoning
from R-IA to M-1 And M-2 for the "Palomino Ridge" project and
approving the two-block preliminary plat of Palomino Ridge,
as recommended by the Planning Commission, with conditions as
stated in the resolution .
Lee Yadrick said she represented residents of the surrounding area and four of them
wished to make comments on the proposal.
Ross Glynn commented on the traffic situation. He had been told Pennock was designed to
withstand the amount of traffic proposed, but the issue is whether the neighborhood can
handle the traffic. The traffic study provided very little documentation as to how it
was co6ducted and what data was used. A recent newspaper article on traffic studies
called them "an imperfect science". No one really knows the impact until a project is
up and running. Common sense should be used in making a decision.
Roy Zabierek said he was speaking as a resident; not a member of the School Board. The
City needs to be responsible in planning for growth. He commented on the School
District's growth and additional school buildings required.
Charles Payne said when he was building his house, he checked zoning on the surrounding
property at City Hall. He was given a zoning map, not a Comprehensive Plan map. The
two documents should be combined. Because the Comprehensive Plan is being revised, this
rezoning should be denied until it is completed.
Rollie Crawford said he represents Hallwood Highlands and commented on the purpose of
the Comprehensive Plan, which is an expression of what a community wants to be. The
Comprehensive Plan is under review and it would be inappropriate for the Council to
change the zoning when this kind of review is being made. The Plan is a guide and it
doesn't compel the Council to rezone property. He requested denial based on traffic
planning, site preservation, density and broad compatibility with surrounding uses.
Mr. Crawford noted other public policy issues involved are representations made to
residents who purchased surrounding property; they relied on what was shown on the
zoning map. The property serves as the gateway to the surrounding neighborhood and this
parcel of land should be carefully constructed.
Steve Wellington, of Wellington Management; Mary McNellis, of St. Croix Development; and
Jerry Duffy, their attorney; were present. Mr. Wellington rsviewed the history of their'
proposal since it began in January of 1988. It has been revised and is now for 102
rental townhouse units on 16 acres. He believes this is an appropriate development for
this land. Single family homes developed on the property would not be as attractive as
others in the area because of the surrounding roads and sitework necessary to build the
homes. This is also the first time he has heard that this development is premature
because the infrastructure is not ready.

Mr. Duffy said they were surprised by the proposed denial. There was no negative staff
recommendation until just a few days ago. When the Council wants the Comprehensive Plan
to support what they are doing, it is used; otherwise it is a guide. The single family
zoning on the property preceded Apple Valley and was done when it was Lebanon Township.
The Council ought to look at the Comprehensive Plan because it is most relevant as to
what should be developed there.
Mr. Duffy said the City would have a greater degree of control with a townhouse
development than with single family. Because it was zoned prior to becoming a City, the
Council's ability to control it is less than if allowed to go forward as proposed. The
Council has a responsibility to plan for schools, infrastructure, etc., but this is not
a reason to deny. The number of students, cars, etc., between a single family and
townhouse development is insignificant and not a legally defensible reason for denying.
Neighborhood opposition should not be the controlling factor.
Bibari Desai a resident on-Pennock Avenue, said he could go to .another cihy and tell
them what he believes is a good development for them, but he wouldn't have to live with
it. This is a business for the developer and he is not going to be living next to it.
Councilmember Humphrey said he was on the Planning Commission from 1975 to 1980 and they
worked on the Comprehensive Plan during that time. For the past three years he has
encouraged routine review of it. There are 42 areas in the community where the
Comprehensive Plan and zoning are not consistent. It is more important than ever to
have it revised and it doesn't reflect the desires of the community at this time.
Councilmember Savanick said she has reviewed all the information and does not see
justification for rezoning. The zoning map should take precedence over the
Comprehensive Plan.
Councilmember Goodwin asked what the developer's position is on rental townhouses versus
owner-occupied and why the property couldn't develop as single family. Mr. Wellington
said he believes owner-occupied units are not feasible. There is more financing
available for rental units and management would have more control over units. With
owner-occupied units, there is nothing to prevent individuals from renting units to
others. A single family development would require public streets and only 25 to 30 lots
would be available. The hill and trees would have to be removed and because the
property borders on Cedar Avenue, it would be less desirable. Financially, it could not
be justified.
Mr. Wellington said if he had originally proposed owner-occupied units, he could
probably have received approval and come back and changed it to rental units but he does
not operate that way. He can get better financing for rental units and build better
units with better control.
Mayor Branning said when the Council approves a rezoning there is no guarantee as to
what will be built. Right now the zoning allows single family homes and that is
guaranteed. The Council is charged with making decisions on the best use for the
property which appears to be single family as now zoned.
Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 4 ~ Nays - O.

Mr. Melena reviewed the Park Directorts memo dated August 22, 1988, PARK/SCHOOL
concerning parking near athletic fields, schools and parks. Council- PARKING
member Goodwin noted that each area seems to have significant parking
lot space available except Cedar Park School. Mayor Branning said prohibiting parking
on both sides of Newell Drive might be too extreme.
Douglas Webber, 14165 Heritage Court, said parking problems around the High School have
not been resolved and they would like restrictions during school days and hours similar
to what is done in Bloomington and Richfield. Mayor Branning asked if this could be
enforced? Lt. Erickson said the Police Department could do it if the restrictions were
clearly identified.
Councilmember Humphrey said the High School needs to provide additional parking on its
property. Roy Zabierek said the school does not have funds for a parking lot and the
problem will be reduced when the Eagan High School opens. Mayor Branning said that will
not solve'the problem and it may only reduce it for a year or two.
Councilmember Savanick said if students use Hayes Field parking, the problems which
prompted the School District to patrol its lot may just move to that area. She asked
Mr. Zabierek if the School could patrol Hayes also? Mr. Zabierek said he would look
into it. Councilmember Humphrey said the potential conflict of encouraging Carrollton
area children to cross Hayes Park to get to Westview and High School students parking
there should be considered.
MOTION: of Savanick, seconded by Goodwin, adopting Resolution No.
1988-141 establishing "no parking" restrictions as follows:
1. Hayes/High School - no parking both sides of street, from
September to May, Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on
141st Street-Heritage Court-142nd Street Court; 143rd Street-
Hemlock Courts; 144th Street (to Heywood Avenue); Herald Way
(to Herald Court); 137th Street (to Hanover Way); Guthrie
Avenue (from 140th to 142nd) and Hayes Road (from 140th to
Haven Drive). Also no parking anytime on the east side of
137th from 140th to Hanover Way. 2. Eastview/$cott
Highlands - no parking anytime on the south side of 142nd
from Johnny Cake to Pilot Knob. 3. Newell/Cedar Park - no
parking anytime on one side of Newell Drive and Circle

Mr. Kelley reviewed the Planning Commission recommendation concerning NORDIC WOODS
Nordic Woods 6th Addition located on the northeast corner of Galaxie 6THADDITION
and 132nd Street. The property is presently zoned for multiple uses
under a planned development and a rezoning is requested to allow small-lot single family
on the eastern part of it. Future road access is being provided for the unplatted
remainder at the corner of Galaxie and..T.H. 77.
Mr. Sheldon suggested that a planned development agreement be prepared, containing the
details of the zoning, and signed by the developer before the Council acts on the
rezoning. Preliminary approval should be to give Staff direction for preparation of the
agreement.
MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Humphrey, directing preparation of a
planned development agreement for Nordic Woods 6th Addition
amending Planned Development District 138 by adding Zone 7,
providing for small-lot single family uses.
P.D. AGREEMENT
NORDIC WOODS 6TH
Mayor Branning asked if the tear-drop design is appropriate for the cul de sac. He
questioned whether the small development (seven acres) is too chopped up by providing
for single family, townhouses and 8-plexes. Mr. Kelley said this design is being used
on all cul de sacs at this time. He said the zoning on the unplatted remainder provides
for some type of attached housing. If the townhouses and 8-plexes are developed, any
effort to rezone that parcel to something else should be resisted.
Councilmember Savanick asked if these will be owned or rental units. Mr. Kelley said
they will be individually owned units. Mr..Sheldon said since this development has
proceeded under the current practices, the Council should proceed with the rezoning
rather than holding it pending a development agreement.
