McKEON CONSTRUCTION: Franklin Martin, Vice President, Dwight Adams, Attorney,
Jim Wiley and Joseph O'Cromboy were present representing McKeon Construction.
A discussion followed on density, location of the apartments and general
use of the land.
Councilman Wolf asked Mr.MArtin if they could cut the apartment density from
180 to 90 persons. Mr. Martin said no. Councilman Wolf feels that the
density is way too high in that area.
Councilman Bennyhoff felt that the density would have to be cut in half.
He also would like more detailed study and materials used for the structures.
Chanhassen Estates residents Association presented 369 names from Chanhassen
residents requesting the Village Council reject the McKeon proposal.
I
Mr. Martin feels the public records show and it has been publicly stated
to them that the zoning is P-2 so the zoning is not the issue the con-
sideration of a preliminary plat on already zoned property is the issue.
McKeon has revised their plan 5 times and has revised the density from
542 to 502 units about 25% less density than the Prestige Plàn. Mr. Martin
feels they have tried, within their economical perimeter to meet the
requests of the Planning Commission and the Village Attorney and Engineer.
He also feels the park land dedication would be beneficial to Chanhassen.
They want an answer one way or the other on this project.
A motion was made by Councilman Bennyhoff and seconded by Councilman Wolf to
deny the request of the preliminary plat from McKeon Construction Co. on
the proposed Woodhill Subdivision. The following voted in favor thereof:
Mayor Klingelhutz, Councilmen Bennyhoff, Kurvers and Wolf. Councilman Neils
voted no. Motion carried.
The following are the reasons for the voting on the McKeon Construction project:
Councilman Bennyhoff felt there were not enough detailed reports and the
density was too high.
Councilman Neils felt the developer has acted within our ordinance in
presenting the preliminary plans and that the Village can work with the
developer to make changes in the final plan.
I
Councilman Kurvers felt this plan does not follow the original concept
of the Prestige Plan when it was originally zoned. He felt the density
was too high.

McKEON CONSTRUCTION, CON'T:
Councilman Wolf feels the PUD Concept flexibility is a good one to work
with. He stated that he does not feel comfortable with this proposal.
The net density is too high in the apartment area. He felt the way it
isrlayed out is a poor living environmental condition for those who
would be living there. The pla~ has no imagination, it is a very boring
plan.
Mayor Klingelhutz feels the apartments are poorly located. He doesn't
like cutting the hill 25 ft. and the 18% slope of the roads, with
these drastic changes you loose all amenities of the land. He also felt
the density was too high.
