The purpose of this hearing is to consider rezoning 23.8 acres located
in the southeast quadrant of County Road 15 and State Highway 7 from
R-lA to P-l and subdivide the property into 36 residential lots. The
developer has complied with the contingencies setforth by the Planning
Commission at its April 12 meeting.
The City Engineer has reviewed the preliminary street, drainage, sanitary
sewer, and water plans and find them in conformance with City Standards
except that all watermain must have a minimum cover of seven feet (six
feet or less is shown on the plans). The Engineer, in his report of
May 4th, calls attention to things the developer should be aware of and
outlines what the procedure will be from now on.
Mr. Ritter explained they propose to divide the property into 36 lots
with six of these proposed for duplexes.
John Merz - I see that you, have got some lake access here. I would like
to know if it is proposed for boat dockage and who is to
maintain this?
Bob Ritter - At this time that outlot which is already a platted lot,
is not being considered as part of this proposal. At a
future date that will be proposed as an outlot with access
for the people living in this development. As far what
the requirements are going to be, I really can't comment
on that because I am not real sure,. As far as being a
boat docking place I can tell you no because it's not

big enough to dock 36 boats or whatever. Nqr deep enough.
There will be a homeowners association in c~arge of the
outlot. '_
Roman Roos - Bob, you will have covenants on this homeo~ers association
and this will be one of the areas that you will be covering
in the covenants. I
Bob Ritter - Yes. I
Hud Hollenback - Wouldn't you need those covenants draft~,d before you
sold the first lot?
Russell Larson - ~es, we would require an inspection or ~eview of whatever
covenants and restrictions they are goi~g to put on
there., We require a title examination ~nd if there
is to be a homeowners association we wa~t to look at
the enabling charter and its by-laws. " would like to
see the covenants at this point, setfor h now exactly
what they intend to do or plan to do wi h respect to
that outlot because that is going to ho lefully guide
you people and the Council in making an lultimate
determination. I

I
Keith Anderson - What price category of home are you con~emplating?
Bob Ritter - I don't know if I can quote the price category but one of
things in the covenants will bea minimum o:fla 1,000 square
feet on one floor fora rambler. If it's a 'Itwo story or
a split it wia,l be 800 square feet. ' "
Keith Anderson - That's what I was getting at because we Ihave minimums
and I was wondering what yours were. ',' ,

John Merz ... My property abuts the'Outlot A. The idea of dockage there
is almost impossible for a couple of reasons. The adjoining
Outlot A down below is about a 50 foot beach for the people
in Trolls-Glen and to put boat dockage onto that 20 foot
lot would be impossible. That also brings up the question
of mooring a boat out there. I think it also creates
the same visual problem in that you have got the possibility
of three boats at an average length of 16 feet taking_up,
without any wind drift, to keep those boats in line with
that piece of property I think is pretty much of an
impossibility. What really bothered me the most about that
is just strictly the boat dockage aspect of that outlot.
Without that I am very happy with it.
We see just three buildable lots at this time that are 1/3
ownership on that with no talk of multiple dwelling or
more than three single family dwelling units. Am I correct
in assuming that?
Hud Hollenback - That's right.
Fred Strohl - What is the status of the 50 feet in Trolls-Glen? I think
the two covenants ought to be identical.
Russell Larson - We can furnish you with a copy of their covenants.
David Tester - I don't know if you have trees marked on the map but
that's the highest property of the development and
probably has the best trees on it. I am trying to
figure out why the common property wouldn't be the best
property where the road is now where you,wouldn't have
to take all those trees out and do all that terracing
down that steep bank to the lake. I also abu1tthe
property. I see a wood chip thing and I didn't know
whether that was going to be cleared and made a
walkway.
Fred Strohl - If they don't pave a trail and
now it is just a;nature trail.
a way down to the lake, that's
leave it the way it is
It's to give those people

SITE PLAN REVIEW - HANSEN & KLINGELHUTZ: Tom KI~ngelhutz, Doug
Hansen, Jim Hawks, and Jeff Swedlund were present. H. & K. are
proposing to construct a 19,800 square foot office/warehouse facility
on Lots 4 and 5 Burdick Park. The property is currently zoned I-I
and is shown on the HRA plan as General Business. Sewer and water
are available to the property. The proposed building has seven 30' x
90' bays and approximately 600 square feet of that will be office.
Seventy-six parking spaces are shown but some may have to be eliminated
near the loading dock. No materials will be stored outside but vehicles
may be parked outside. The building will be eight inch concrete block
with a fractured block band along the top for decoration.
Walter Thompson moved to recommend the Council look with favor on the
Hansen and Klingelhutz office/warehouse facility subject to:
1. That an adequate development contract controlling the visual quality
of the grounds be implemented.
2. That the proposed rear yard setback be allowed as submitted.
3. That parking up to the westerly property line be permitted.
4. That the clear aisle widths by the loading docks be increased
to meet ordinance standards.
5. That the loading dock width be increased to 12 feet.
6. That the berm at the north access on Mandan Drive should not
exceed 2% feet in height.
7. That more detailed information be supplied concerning the outside
storage facilities.
8. That information regarding the architectural treatment of the
building be furnished.
9. That plans for signage be submitted for Sign Committee review.
10. The developer submit a lighting plan for review by the Planning
Commission.
II. The front yard setback is 23 feet. The ordinance calls for a 30
foot front yard setback.
12. The developer consider 450 angle parking along the west property
line. The Guide :Plan and CBD Plan show the area to the west to be
something other than R-IA, therefore, the Planning Commission recommends
a side yard variance be granted.
