PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT Northridge Farms Jim Johnston, representing Northridge Farms, explained that they had an option to purchase a parcel of land across Mohawk Dr. from City Hall; that he believed it would be an excell- ant purchase because of its location and that a park located in that area would have mini- mal impact on the area. Bob Kellogg, Park Commission member, reported that the Commission had agreed that they pre- ferred neighborhood parks and had selected a Meadowwoods Farm lot because it is adjacent to an area of higher density population. He reported that he had spoken to about ten people in the neighborhood and received no strong objections, other than their wanting a quiet neighborhood park. Thomas Crosby asked Mr. Johnston what their objection was to the Meadowwoods Farm parcel. Mr. Johnston stated that the property is very expensive and that most of the lots had been sold. Thomas Anderson asked if the Commission had considered the corner of Co. Rd. 24 and Hunter Dr. as a possible site for a park. Mr. Kellogg stated that they did not favor a park in that location for a number of reasons such as traffic between the property and Holy Name Lake, policing, etc. Anne Heideman stated that the city needed to examine the need for types of parks, ie: neigh- borhood vs. community. A park adjacent to city property would have some advantages and would probably not be developed for two or more years. Jim Johnston stated that an alternative would be to poll the residents as to preferences, organize a search committee and let the committee find an appropriate site. Thomas Anderson asked if property could be used for anything but parks. Richard Schieffer stated that park funds must be used for park purposes. Anne Heideman stated that Independence Beach needs more parkland because of the number of children in that area and that demographics need to be studied. Richard Broderson, resident of the Medina Manor area, stated that not all of his neighbors favored a park in their area. Mr. Kellogg asked how the Council would like the Park Commission to proceed. Mr. Crosby stated that a survey of need should be completed and the Commission should then find the best location for a park. Jim Johnston asked that any study not delay plans for developing Northridge Farms, after they had submitted all of the necessary documents to the city. 8. HUNTER DR., PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Glen Cook presented final plans for the construction of Hunter Dr. He stated that the grad- ing would be done by the Groves Company at the same time as they were constructing road in Northridge Farms; that the city would install the road fabric, tile and granular material and that bids would include the gravel, fabric and bituminous surfacing.

Motion declared carried 9.. PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT 0 O 0 O 8 7 Independence Comprehensive Plan Revision Discussion of a Comprehensive Plan revision request from the City of Independence regarding connecting approximately 90 homes to the Independence. Beach sewer system. Thomas Anderson stated that Medina could do something similar to what Orono had done in the Medina Morningside situation, that is, to limit the number of connections allowed. Glenn Cook stated that Medina needs to retain capacity for anything that Medina might need in the Independence Beach area. Mayor Anderson stated that we need to know where they intend to connect and how much additional capacity might be needed for the area adjacent to Independence Beach. Donna Roehl stated that Indpendence may not be allowed to change their plans from the spray irrigation system originally planned because the EPA and State funds had been app- roved for that project and they may need to begin the application from the beginning if they wish to change plans.

Motion declared carried Dockside JoEllen Hurr explained that resolutions and agreements which had approved the Dockside plans in 1981 had specified that the City Council approve the square footage of a building before a building permit could be issued. She reported that the proposed structure will 11 be a two story home and the Loren Kohnen, the Building Inspector, had calculated the square footage at 2424. Council reviewed the square footage of buildings as allowed under the agreements. Richard Schieffer stated that there is no provision in the law that could prohibit Mr. Spaeth from constructing a building 2424 sq. ft. in size. He also reported that Mr. Spaeth had apparently filed a document with Hennepin County that was different from the one app- roved by the City Council; that is some language changes had been made in the copy filed. Moved by Crosby, seconded by Heideman to table consideration of the Dockside plans until conditions approved by City Council in 1981 have been clarified. Motion declared carried 10.
