In her opinion, the work was not done as Mr. Fischer said it would be and was to be required to do. Bonnie Buck was also present and commented that only three trees were planted behind the Millers house when there were supposed to be eight. Jon Gurban agreed and said while the plantings were not done exactly as proposed, but he believes there will be a good survival rate. There was an alternate landscape plan, which he has not reviewed, that provided for the plantings behind the Millersf house. Mr. Fischer has been requested to complete work and it has not been done yet. Bob Substad, of Apple Valley Commons, said they have 7,000 to 9,000 cubic feet of black dirt on their property to be removed. If someone is willing to move it, they would donate it. Mr. Gurban said he understands the Park Department has accepted some of the soil and will be moving it for use in various parks. Jim Sheldon said the City would have to look into the details of the agreement with Mr. Fischer and the landscaping plans before taking any action on this matter.

MOTION: of Humphrey, seconded by Goodwin, passing Ordinance No. 364 rezoning part of the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 25, known as Owen Plat One, from Agri- cultural to Retail Business. John Gretz reviewed the Planning Commission report on this item tabled from the June 12, 1986, meeting because of questions on road access. The Planning Commission felt placing conditions on terminating access through the adjoining parking lots would make the deve- lopment acceptable. Pat Hallisey, the developer, was present to answer questions. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota June 26, 1986 Page 4 Councilmember Humphrey said he was concerned about access to Pilot Knob Road, but the County has granted access so he would concur with it. Acting Mayor Holton said he would prefer to have all access at Essex (142nd Street) and Pilot Knob.

OWEN PLAT ONE PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL Councilmember Savanick said she believes there should be a better way to develop this property and does not agree with access to Pilot Knob or putting a barrier between the parking lots in the future. Acting Mayor Holton asked if language on terminating interconnection of the parking lots could be "may" rather than "shall"? Mr. Asleson said it is preferable to be mandatory. A future request to keep the connection could always be considered if future conditions warrant. Vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - 3 - Nays - 1 (Savanick). MOTION: of Goodwin, seconded by Humphrey, authorizing issuance of a building permit for Owen Plat One and allowing grading to be begin now with actual issuance of the permit subject to final plat and agreement approval as recommended by the Planning Commission.
