Norbert Pruisner, Subdivision
JoEllen Hurr explained that Norbert Pruisner had proposed to subdivide 20.2 acres at
3882 Chippewa Rd., into two parcels; 5.8 acres and 14.40 acres. She stated that each
lot has in excess of 5 acres of contiguous innovatinve septic system soil; right-of-
way on Chippewa Rd. should be secured; park dedication fees will not be collected be-
cause the 5.8 acre parcel has an existing house; each lot is more than 300 ft. wide
so that an animal structure could be constructed on each lot; and that the Building
Inspector had reported that the existing septic system must be replaced. She also
explained that an easement for the creek should be shown on each lot.

ing the Norbert Pruisner subdivision at 3882 Chippewa Rd. according to the Planning

Hennepin County Park Reserve District 3 L 1
JoEllen Hurr explained that the Park Reserve District had made application to subdivide
6.58 acres from park property, east of Homestead Tr.; this being the only land owned
east of that street. She stated that the lot contains sufficient soil for conventional
septic system; the driveway entrance should be defined and a park dedication fee would
be required. She also explained that the Park District had proposed to sell the property
by sealed bidding, which had been advertized.
Joe Bizzano, abutting property owner, asked that Council adopt a resolution telling the
Park District that they should negotiate the sale of the property with the four abutting
owners and not sell it through a sealed bid process. He explained that he would not have
purchased his property if he had knwon that theis acreage would be sold as a homesite.
Del Miller, representing the park, stated that the intentions of the city and the district
had always been to have Homestead Tr. as the easterly park boundary. Regarding the sale
of the property,he stated that their attorney had informed them that they must get the most
public involvement as possible,in the sale of the property, and that to sell to adjacent
landowners might be setting a precedent for future sales.
Thomas Anderson asked if they had considered holding a public auction rather than through
sealed bids.
Mr. Miller stated that public auction is more costly. He also explained that it might be
necessary to obtain a Federal Government release in order to sell, which might delay the
sale for some time. He asked if payment of the park dedication fee could be waived until
the parcel was actually sold, as they might not be able to obtain a release from the
Government.
JoEllen Hurr stated that they could request preliminary subdivision approval of the property
and delay seeking final approval until resolution of the release from the Federal Government.
Thomas Anderson stated that he believed that a public auction should be conducted.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Heideman to grant preliminary subdivision approval to the
Hennepin County Park Reserve District for the 6.58 acre parcel east of HomesteadTr., with
with a recommendation that they conduct a public auction rather than a sealed bidding pro-
cedure, for the sale of the parcel.
Motion declared carried
Jim Lutz, Elm Creek Addition, Subdivision
Glenn Cook reviewed his letter regarding the Lutz Elm Creek Addition and the three items
that needed to be resolved by City Council:
1. Looping of the water main from the development back to Hunter Dr.
2. Connecting Elm Creek Dr. to the Red Fox Tr., cul-de-sac.
3. Installation of storm sewer along the rear lot lines of Block 2.
He stated that he believed that the city should require Mr. Lutz to finance the items.
Rick Sayther, Engineer for Jim Lutz, explained that looping the water main would benefit
property owners to the north and south of the development and the cost of $7400 should
not be the sole responsibility of Mr. Lutz. Regarding the connection of Red Fox Dr. to
Elm Creek Dr., he stated that it was unfortunate that Red Fox Dr. was not constructed to
the property line as it would now cost approximately $10,000 for that segment of the road.
He stated that there is a natural drainageway along the rear lot lines of Block 2, and even
if a storm sewer were constructed at a cost of $12,000 a drainage swale would still be
needed.
William Reiser stated that the connection of the two roads would be of more benefit to the
city, than to the developer.
Thomas Anderson stated that in the Meadowwoods development the city did the base work on
Cherokee Rd. and the developer did the blacktopping.
Robert Mitchell stated that the city shold be consistent and if done before, it could be
done in this project.
Glenn Cook stated that a blacktop curb could be constructed in that area rather than a
cement curb.
Anne Heideman stated that the residents of the development would be harmed,more than anyone,
if the water line was not looped and that the developer should be responsible for that con-
truction.
Mr. Mitchell explained that there are areas in the city where drainage swales are not
working.
Wilfred Scherer explained that he believed the storm sewer should be constructed so that
a problem does not need to be corrected in the future.
0 � � Mr. Mitchell stated that the city should not participate in the cost of the water
main project but could be responsible for securing the water line easements.
Moved by Mitchell, seconded by Heideman to require JIm Lutz to loop the water main to
Hunter Dr. with the city paying $3000 toward the cost, plus securing the easement;
the City to do the grading and base work on the connection of Red Fox Dr. with Elm Creek
Dr.; Mr. Lutz to construction the storm sewer rather than a drainage swale.
