PUBLIC HEARING WALDRIP SUBDIVISION Roman Roos ca1led~the hearing to order with the following interested persons present: Shirley and Ken Waldrip, 6410 Galpin Blvd. Art Partridge, 6280 Hummingbird Road Walter Fenton, 6500 Galpin Blvd. The Official Notice as published in the Carver County Herald was read by the City Planner. Mr. Waldrip is proposing to subdivide his property into one residential lot and one outlot. The property is bounded by Galpin Blvd, Lake Lucy Road and Steller Circle. The Assistant City Planner/Manager recommended that the applicant attempt to develop the entire parcel uniformly. Should the final decision be to subdivide the property, the planner recommended that the condition of subdivision be that subject residence egress to Galpin Blvd. be terminated upon the completion of the interior access, and that the residential access be obtained on said interior street. Ken Waldrip - At this point in time all I am seeking to do is to subdivide the property. The house is a substantial house. What I have done through my architect show that this land can be subdivided quite handily with the house remaining in tact. The house at this time is not sold, however, it maybe that I need to sell this house to generate the capital to develop this property. With that in mind I am asking for the right to sell the house. This land is presently zoned P-l which is a planned unit development and under that a zoning a number of possibilities exist, townhouses, small apartment buildings, single family dwellings, and duplexes. It is my feeling that this land, because of. the zoning that's on it and because of the price that's on it, will ultimately be developed in some form of multiple family dwelling housing. Walter Fenton - I would like to see some development in there. I wouldn't like to see some high rise apartments in there. I don't think that's an area for apartment houses. Single family would be very compatible in there. I am not pro or con, either way. Planning Commission Meeting March 28, 1979 -2- , ., Mal MacAlpine - What size would be the one lot that you want to break off? Mark Koegler - The overall lot is 12.3 acres and the portion to be split off would be 20,845 square feet. tit Art Partridge - The point at hand is whether or not to permit slicing the thing into two tracts .and I would like to be on record that I am in favor of it. I don't see any problem. I do have reservations which go back to the original rezoning of the remainder of the parcel. I would like the Planning Commission to be on record that this is not a final study. Roman Roos - We did want to see a potential use of the land. Our primary concern was to know the road alignment that would permit the development of the interior portion without any conditions based on the lot that you wanted to carve out of it. Ken Waldrip - That driveway has been on Galpin Blvd. for approximately 70 years. I think if grandfather rights have any weight at all certainly here is a case where they might. If I were asking for additional access to or from Galpin Blvd. I think that then you might have a ligitimate complaint. I would not want to get tied in co removing that existing driveway. Mark Koegler --The reasoning for that, from a staff point is view, is that while it might have existed for 70 years there is going to be in the next 20 years more development occurring with that area, hence increased traffic. ~ The driveway now with the angle, I have driven out of ~ it and it is rather a blind intersection either way you look. I think it was meant to head off future congention problems that might occur. ~en Waldrip - I also have a driveway onto Galpin Blvd., when are they going to come and make me take my driveway off Galpin Blvd. Roman Roos - We are looking at a situation where we have input. The idea is good. Mal MacAlpine moved to close the public hearing. Motion seconded by Jerry Neher and unanimously approved. WALDRIP SUBDIVISION: Mal MacAlpine moved to recommend the Council approve the subdivision as presented, without the stipulation as staff recommended. Motion seconded by Gordon Freeburg. The following voted in favor: Gordon Freeburg, Roman Roos, and Mal MacAlpine. Jerry Neher abstained. Motion carried. NATURAL RESOURCES - GOALS AND POLICIES: The goals and policies were discussed previously and the Planning Commission received the final draft for review and discussion.
