The application includes five requests. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use from Agricultural/Rural to Low Density Residential; Rezone from A-I, Agricultural Rural to R-1A, Low Density Residential; Shoreland PUD to allow lots to be platted based upon the shoreland tier standard; A CUP to allow the site to be developed as a Planned Unit Development in order to allow lot width flexibility; Preliminary Plat to subdivide the 99 .1 I-acre site for 156 single-family residential development. . City Planner Sherman also informed the Commission that the plans have been modified to include the changes requested. There is 67 lots having widths ranging from 90' to 99.9' and 89 lots having widths of 100' or more. Matt Davich informed the Commission that they would be planting 47 Blue Spruce trees on the rear of the lots adjacent to Outlot A. This would be along the trail that goes along the rear yards. According to the zoning requirements City Planner confirmed that it meets all guidelines with the exception of a narrower paved area for a street. With this exception it is a must to put in a concrete sidewalk. Chair Brown asked if anyone in the audience had comments on this site plan. Joe Dubelllives in St. Michael and his property backs up to the proposed site plan. His concern is the road connection to an existing road in St. Michael. City Planner Sherman told him it is a residential development and there would possibly be 25-50 homes that would access the road. He feels more people will use it as a cut across into St. Michael. . Don L. from St. Michael was concerned as well. He did not want to see multiple housing go in. He would accept the single-family residential.

Page 4 of 6 Erik Anderson also from St. Michael was wondering when the phase would begin. They would possibly be starting Spring 2001. He was concerned with the drainage from these homes. They have taken care of the current situation to- date. But with the added homes there will be additional drainage coming from them. They wanted more information on the ditch along the roadside. The drainage from there, where will it go? There will be a 30' easement and will get a letter from the County regarding the ditch along the development. They are reducing the drainage from the proposed development. They may have to put a culvert into take care of the drainage. With the drainage issues and concerns City Planner Sherman will check in with the City of St. Michael as to the grading and drainage on the St. Michael side of the development. Need a joint comment from City of St. Michael City Planner Mark Weigle. . City Engineer will need to sign off on the rain-run off calculations prior to the City Council meeting. Chair Brown asked if there were any additional comments from the audience. No other additional comments were made. The three residents will meet with the Edina Development representatives to discuss anything further outside the chambers. Commission comments - Budde much better than the original with the exception of the pipeline. There will be a 3'-5' cover, which is approved, by the pipeline company. Chair Brown questioned Zoning Administrator Mealhouse if he could foresee any upcoming variances in the next year or two when they are building! developing. The homes would be modified and/or splits. Not vel)' many full basements could go in. The water table is not an issue. Chair Brown commented that it is a nice job with the R-1A layout. He did add that the schools are full and they have no handle on what is to come. He suggested that it is a little premature to say go ahead with the project with the other issues brought forth tonight. .

(4) OTHER BUSINESS a) Burger King - Site & Building Plan (Outlot D, Outlets at Albertville) - Final Plat (Lot 1, Block 1, Dolphin Estate Addition) . Greg Klohn representing Burger King handed out additional copies of the site and building plan. He noted that there would be additional signs per the City Engineers request "Do Not Enter." There will be two- (2) drive up windows, but only one pickup window. Better signage for the drive-thru lanes on the road. They have the cross-easement to have the right to park on the malls parking lots. No plans to do any landscaping next to road. They would work within the guidelines on the landscape plans. Zoning Administrator had a concern with the ground sign looks like it blocks the right-of-way. With the height and width of it he wants it to be as far back as possible so people can see to exit the parking area. Greg Klohn went over the drawings and the color scheme of the building, which will be grey stecco. . When and if another vendor builds on Outlot C the signage would accommodate their logo or information.
