PUBLIC HEARING CARVER BEACH STREET VACATION CARVER BEACH PROPERTIES Mayor Hamilton called the public hearing to order with the following interested persons present: Don Hess, Landplan, Inc. Adrian Johnson, 20565 Carson Road, Excelsior Joe Troendle, 1015 Pleasant View Road Howard Noziska, 1120 Hesse Farm Road Mayor Hamilton - We want to be sure that we don't include in the street vacation anything having to do with Western Drive. Bill Monk - That's been dropped from the petitioner's request. Russell Larson - With respect to that vacation, I would feel much more comfortable, I realize that the Troendles and the Owens have executed a petition but because of the nature of the purchase agreements and the other documents in the entire platting process I would prefer to have them execute a special dated consent to the vacation with reference to the legal description. This to be executed by the Troendles and Owens as husband and wife. They own the abutting properties in Vineland as well as they own properties in Carver Beach. I am concerned about the Vineland properties. Councilwoman Swenson - If we have the potential landlocked property here, I would want to make absolutely certain that the Troendles have access to their property. I understand that they own a piece of property on both sides of the road that's to be vacated. Russell Larson - Troendle owns, in Carver Beach, Lots 37 to 63 and the Owens own Lots 1 to 36 in Carver Beach. Councilwoman Swenson - Do you know at this particular time if the Troendles have negotiated any kind of an agreement in regard to an access or an easement up to their property. Joe (Troendle), are you satisfied with the arrangements that you have made with the developer with regards to access to your property? Joe Troendle - Yes, I think I am. Councilwoman Swenson - If you are satisfied then I have no further questions. Councilman Geving - Russ, when we vacate a piece of property, that property that was supposedly owned by the City as a right-of-way, correct? Russell Larson - Right. Councilman Geving - It reverts to property owners on either side of the road. Do we at the same time get any guarantees for a possible right-of-way access for sewer and water line or anything that we have to put down? Russell Larson - Are there sewer and water lines in there? Bill Monk - Yes. Sewer and water easements would be retained on the plat. We would not be giving up easements, just the roadway right-of-way. Russell Larson - The language of the vacation has to be explicit in setting that out. Council Meeting November 16, 1981 -2- Councilman Geving - That's my one concern when we give up property like this. Councilman Neveaux - As I understand it we are not going to vacate all of that northerly road. We are only going to vacate it up to the area between Lots 8 and 9. Russell Larson - That's correct. Councilman Horn - Would you point out on this map Bob, exactly what we are talking about. Bob Waibel - We are talking about, in its entirety, Narcissus Road. from Western Drive north to 'Narcissus Road. Maple Road to Summit Drive and the road designated as Road as part Plat from Lot 9 west to Powers Blvd. Councilman Neveaux - On vacation, half goes to the property on one side and half goes to the other, right? Bob Waibel - Part of the purchase agreements, as I understand it, would be that Carver Beach Properties would purchase the vacated rights-of-way including the properties that are owned by Owens and Troendle along the northern tier of Carver Beach plus the vacated rights-of-way of this road as a part of Vineland Plat to make up the 10.7 acres within the entire plan. Councilman Horn - You mean we are giving this property to the Owens and the Troendles and the developer is buying it. Bob Waibel - The plan that you have been reviewing which was based on the July 6 preliminary plat did anticipate the purchase of this northern section. The property would be purchased and the vacated portions of the road would be purchased to make up the entire boundary of this plat. Councilman Geving - Why is it being handled this way? Why couldn't we sell it? Don Ashworth - We have consistently looked to insuring that roads are set aside to carry out overall plans in this area. In any type of a vacation I request the city is receiving back the right-of-way for the proposed road systems through there. It mayor may not be a push situation but you are looking to accomplish an overall road system. I have never seen a city become involved with a sale to one person anticipating something back. Russell Larson - Actually in this case you are really trading roads. Councilman Neveaux - These have always been paper streets. There hasn't been any City involvement with any expense of any kind as far as maintenance. Russell Larson - My only point in bringing it up is to take special pains that the correct legal description of these vacations are included in whatever action you might take and that there be specific consents from Mr. and Mrs. Owens and Mr. and Mrs. Troendle with respect to Vine1and. Summit Drive from Nez Perce of the Vineland There being no further comments, Councilman Geving moved to Motion seconded by Councilman Neveaux. The following voted Councilwoman Swenson, Councilmen Neveaux, Geving, and Horn. Hearing closed at 7:50 p.m. close the public hearing. in favor: Mayor Hamilton, No negative votes. CARVER BEACH STREET VACATIONS: RESOLUTION #81-39ß: Councilman Geving moved the adoption of a resolution approving the vacation of Narcissus Road, Summit Drive from Western Drive north to Narcissus Road, Maple Road from Nez Perce to Summit Drive and the road designated as Road as a part of the Vineland Plan from Lot 9 west to Powers Blvd. A special dated consent to the vacation be executed by Mr. and Mrs. Joe Troendle and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Owens.

I I I I I Council Meeting November 16, 1981 -3- PRELIMINARY PLAT, CARVER BEACH PROPERTIES: Councilman Horn asked if the the Planning Commission had discussed the issue of the Walter Hobbs and Henry Coudron driveways being placed to the new proposed road instead of their current accesses onto Powers Blvd. Howard Noziska, Planning Commission, explained that they felt that the Hobbs property could gain access on the new road but that the Coudron property could present problems by having to cross other private properties. Don Hess explained that the developer will ask Mr. Hobbs to become a part of the plat. Mr. Hess further stated that there are some severe grade problems in having the Coudron driveway access onto the new street. Discussion was held on whether Lots 11 and 12, Block 2, are buildable. The City Engineer recommended two alternatives, one being that both lots be combined into one lot or to plat Lot 11 and have Lot 12 as an outlot. The outlot could not be built on until such time as drainage improvements were put through the entire area. The City Attorney stated that if proposed Lot 12 is to be a ponding area,he would like to have the City hold a easement over it for drainage purposes. If and when the City installs a storm sewer in the area the easement could be released. The City Engineer recommended that the access road to the north be between Lots 3 and 4 on the original plan as a 900 intersection. Councilman Neveaux moved to approve the preliminary plat for Carver Beach Properties dated July 6, 1981, revised July 10, 1981, and to accept the City Engineer's report of November 16, 1981, wherein he outlines four specific points that relate to modifications on the plat which should be incorporated. Lot 11, Block 2 will be a buildable lot and Lot 12, Block 2, will become an outlot with a drainage easement across the entire outlot and further consideration that none of the lots in the replat be less than 15,000 square feet.

Council Meeting November 16, 1981 -4- CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING HELD AUGUST 24, 1981 HANUS CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Mayo~ Hamilton called the hearing to order with Don Hanus present. Mayor Hamilton - This thing has been before us, I think, at least eight times this year. I don't know how many times we have had a conditional use permit with Mr. Hanus, it's been altered, amended, changed, and rewritten and written again. I went back through all those conditional use permits and as near as I can tell Mr. Hanus has yet to conform to any of them. We are spending just an inordinate amount of time on something that I feel should have been taken care of a long time ago. The conditional use permit should have been revoked. Mr. Hanus displays to me, at least, a willingness to not deal with the City and it seems as though he doesn't care for our rules and feels they aren't made for him. I just draw your attention to the most recent ones. The meeting of August 24 it says right in the minutes that Mr. Hanus will immediately install web screening in the chain link fence on the north and south sides of the building. To the best of my knowledge this hasn't been done and it's now the middle of November. We have a couple of options here. I guess we can sit here and talk about this all night. There are two specific questions, I think, right now need to be answered if in fact we even want to deal with this matter, the parking on West 79th Street and signage, lighting on some of the signs. The third thing is the screening in the fences. Councilman Geving - I met with Don and that had to do with the addition of the new building. A substantially large building to be placed on his existing property and he was proposing a facility to store all of the outside storage that he now has there which is rather unsightly. Our whole plan was to meet with Don to get an overall plan, grading plan, a plan that would give us some landscaping on the south side, removing of the employee parking on West 79th Street putting that inside the chain link fence. It included the webbing in the fence to obstruct any view from the highway. It also gave him the ability to display the vehicles in the display area along Highway 5 as is a condition in his permit. That was the plan. As much as I disliked the large building that was being proposed I felt that if we could get outside storage off the property and inside that building it was a big plus and especially getting the vehicles that were parked by the employees inside the chain link fence,again was a big plus. We met with Don and I think Pat and I were very pleased with the plan that was presented to us and we made some modifications to it. Needless to say I didn't attend the one hearing that we had with Don but at that time he came in with an entirely different building plan and configuration that I wasn't even familiar with and I understand that the building that he was planning to buy was already purchased by someone else so it wasn't available to him. What I am trying to say is that if we can get the outside storage all enclosed within a building it would take care of a lot of that unsightlyness that's now there. I know you can see through the fence now if you were standing on main street and look to the south. I was kind of surprised when Don came before the Planning Commission and had a different plan. He has a conditional use permit that you can't believe. It has so damn many conditions on it already. Now I am kind of, of the opinion that I would like to see the private vehicle parking of his employees off I I I I I I Council Meeting November 16, 1981 -5- West 79th Street as was the original plan, remove all the outside storage but yet not let him put up the building. I guess I have made a switch in my thinking because the more I think about expanding what he already has there I am just afraid that we still are going to have outside storage. Mayor Hamilton - I think he ought to clean up the yard. That was the way the first conditional use permit was written that that yard would be maintained without carcasses laying around in there. That's the business you are in and I realize it's probably difficult to do that but you know that. If you did that there would be room to park your employee parking inside his own yard. I don't think we ought to proceed any further with any of this until he starts conforming to some of the things he said he was going to do. I haven't seen any indication that he is willing to do anything. Councilwoman Swenson - I would have to go along with everything that Dale (Geving) said. It was my understanding, when Dale and I met with Don, that all vehicles would be inside except for the possibility of two or three new vehicles. He did remove the signs that were on the building. I was on the Planning Commission when Don came in and asked for the addition of Minnesota Roadways and at that time we were assured that it was not going to be a problem. I came away from this meeting really happy because it was really going to get solved and although the building was not an ideal situation it was better than we had because we certainly didn't want to force the guy out of business in spite of all of this. At the Planning Commission meeting we found out that Minnesota Roadways was not going to park inside the building. That was sort of a blow. Now I do notice that he has started putting up the screening and I have to admit I think it helps. If I were absolutely sure that Don would do what he says and keep all the carcasses to the rear of the lot. Mayor Hamilton - I guess I would suggest that until he displays some willingness to come to the Council with a workable plan, I am not trying to put you out of business, I want you to stay on there and make a good living and run a damn good business but there is no reason why you can't conform to the City regulations. There is no reason why you can't do that. Don Hanus - I have a plan with Bloomberg with regard to a smaller size building. It is 120' x 70'. It is much smaller but it would be adequate for parts and what we have to keep. As far as the parking, getting it off West 79th, we can do that. We do have room in back. We can dig that excess dirt out of there and take care of that. In fact now Minnesota Roadways is not there until spring. That other building was quite large talking with the City Staff here they felt it was too big for that lot. I have to agree with them. Councilman Horn - As I recall the reason we got on this building kick was we started out that screening was going to be to expensive and would be a financial burden. It would seem to me that any type of screening that we have been considering would be less costly than a building. I don't quite understand how we got off the original screening policy. The other one is the necessity of that much storage area that's necessary for the business and now that the leaves are off I look back there and there is a houseboat and several other things back there that looks like winter storage and not a necessary part of the business. I have a little problem with both of those issues. Don Hanus - That's in there for repair. It will probably be there two weeks. I think what we were trying to do, Dale and Pat and myself, were trying to kill two birds with one stone as far as giving me some room to put some of the stuff that is not junk. Council Meeting November 16, 1981 -6- Councilman Horn - I think it's possible to come up with a screening plan that will cover up that without putting a building there and I think it's also possible to get the parking inside. I think that's what the I original conditional use asked for. Mayor Hamilton - We do have a resolution drawn up to make West 79th Street a no parking area. I think we should execute that. Councilman Neveaux - The basic issue is we do have a conditional use permit that was entered into by the City and by Mr. Hanus that, as I hear what I might be hearing, is going to sit for another year before anything is done on it unless we take definite action to do something that might lead us into court. On April 23 we received three recommendations from the Chanhassen City Attorney and one of them is option 2 which states that if the Council believes that the open storage restrictions are not realistic, in view of the nature of Mr. Hanus' business, and in view of past Council acquiescence to document "D", City Staff should be directed to prepare amendment language which would substitute provisions for full screening from public view. Perhaps we need to direct City Staff to come up with a plan that we will direct Mr. Hanus to do by a certain date. If not, he is in violation of the terms of the permit and I guess that I think that we should move toward recommendation number 1. Don Ashworth - Staff concurs with that. I think that's the trouble that we got into with that document "D" by not having something back and that all parties were in agreement too. I think you have certain recommendations that you should put those as a 30 day period of time. Russ' office be charged with putting that into writing and submitting that back I to you ~vithin the 30 day period with Mr. Hanus' signature and a specific date of completion. Mayor Hamilton - I like John's (Neveaux) idea to begin with that step. To come up with a date. I think 30 days is probably to lenient but if he completes the screening within 30 days we will go ahead with the resolution for no parking along West 79th Street. That can be signed. If the applicant doesn't do what he is asked to do then at that time we will move to #1 and request to follow the conditional use permit exactly as it is spelled out. Councilman Neveaux - We are asking staff to prepare a plan to fully screen that open storage from public view as it is documented in Craig's (Mertz) letter of April 23, recommendation #2 and have that done by Mr. Hanus within 30 days together with the motion to declare that West 79th Street no parking area and have it marked with signs. If that is not done within the 30 days then recommendation #1 would kick in where we would direct the attorney to take necessary legal steps to enforce the permit as written. Don Ashworth - You would be drafting the actual document change to be presented to the Council. Russell Larson - Amend as per #2. Don Ashworth - That's correct. Councilman Neveaux moved to direct staff to prepare a plan to fully screen the open storage from public view as it is documented in the City Attorney's letter of April 23, 1981, recommendation #2, and have Mr. Hanus complete the work within 30 days and declare that West 79th Street a no parking area and delineate with signs. I Scott Martin - I need some clarification Tom (Hamilton) as far as what John has in mind ~vhen he says staff should prepare a plan for screening that should be implemented within 30 days. I guess my immediate reaction · I I Council Meeting November 16, 1981 -7- is does that mean webbing in the fences entirely around the perimeter? Councilman Neveaux - If staff says that would fully screen it. Don Hanus - Are you looking for webbing on the north side and the south side? The north side has the evergreens on it. Councilman Neveaux - The north side is what looks right into Jerry Schlenk's backyard. Scott Martin - The Planning Commission literally talked about the southern part as it abuts Highway 5. Councilman Geving - I personally feel that the southern boundary line of chain link fencing that's facing Highway 5 is the one that I always thought could be webbed or landscaped. Don has planted pine trees on the north side. I would like to see us restrict this full webbing to the south side of the property only. The east side is the ready-mix plant. There should be no webbing on the southwesterly portion of the chain link fence for viewing of his new vehicles. Mayor Hamilton - How about the screening from the gate post on the west side then to the northwestern corner? Councilman Geving - I would like to see that webbed. look into there. Mayor Hamilton - I think the north side ought to be webbed. Don Hanus - There are 40 evergreens there. Mayor Hamilton - How tall are they? Don Hanus - Seven-eight feet. Mayor Hamilton - I can drive up on the corner of St. Hubert's right now and I can see right into your yard. Don Hanus - You can see over the top because you have a higher altitude. That isn't going to help with webbing in the fence. I would have to put in a higher fence. Councilman Geving - Someone said early on, in this whole thing, that if the whole thing was screened nobody would really care what was behind it. Councilman Neveaux - That's right. Councilman Geving - As long as it was screened, nobody would give a hurt. If no one can see it from Highway 5 or from Highway 101 looking east to the gate, you could care less. Councilwoman Swenson - I think it is essential that some of these vehicles be parked at least 50 feet from the road, if possible, because I notice when you are driving by you can see the tops of some of these things and if they are back farther they will not show. Councilman Neveaux - Perhaps we could have a staff report. Fully screen it from the south and west sides. Mayor Hamilton - I think I agree with John, the motion is to fully screen it from public view. I guess staff will have to decide where the public view is. Councilwoman Swenson - There is no reason for anybody to Within the screened area, that the southwest corner of the yard, that he is permitted to leave that open for the display of his vehicles because otherwise the vehicles are going to be outside and that's what started this.
