CASE NO. 79-18,
VANLANDSCHOOT
Page 1182
November 20, 1979
Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of a
continued public hearing on an application from Mr. David
VanLandschoot for the subdivision of lot 18, Linden Addition
and related variances.
Mr. VanLandschoot and Mr. John Bannigan, Jr., his legal
representative, were present for the discussion. Mr.
Bannigan stated that he represents Mr. VanLandschoot in
his request for subdivision, wetlands variance of 15 feet,
a variance from frontage on a 60 foot street to a 30 foot
street which is actually platted but umimproved, and a front
yard setback variance. He stated that the City's concern
under the zoning ordinance is health, safety and welfare,
and that Mr. VanLandschoot has covered those points in his
letter to the Council. He stated that the subdivision meets
the requirements of the City if the variances are granted,
and that it does not adversely affect the health, safety,
or welfare of the community; the proposed density is much
less than the 15,000 square foot lot minimum; and it is
consistent with the City's zoning and land use plans. He
therefore requested an approval of the necessary variances.
He felt that granting approval would alleviate hardships
peculiar to this land alone. Mr. VanLandschoot also showed
the Council and audience photographs of the lot. Mr.
VanLandschoot stated that lot averages in the area are
24,000 square feet, and the size of the proposed house is
much greater than the 1,800 square foot average for the
community.
Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and comments from the
audience.
With respect to a question on lot area posed by the Council
on November 6th, City Engineer Kishel stated that his report
from 1976 showed a shoreline different from what currently
exists, and that he disagrees with the applicant over
buildable lot area. He stated that he has computed land
area above 872.2 feet in the proposed plat to be 37,500
square feet in Lot 1, and 21,600 for Lot 2, or a total area
of 59,100 square feet above level 872.2. He noted that ther
is a discrepancy of roughly 13,000 square feet between his
calculations and the map prepared by the McLagan surveying
firm. A representative of the McLagan firm who was present,
stated that the land area on the lakeside of the channel was
included in his data, since the applicant had not directed
that the information be based on buildable area above 872.2
feet. He noted that this area would account for the discre-
pancy.
Mr. Paul Maczko, 907 Cheri Lane, asked whether Mr. Kishel ha
information on the land area which was assessed at the time
he owned the property. Mr. Kishel stated that when Mr.
Maczko owned the property, it was assessed for trunk sewer
based on 43,792 square feet of area. Mr. Maczko pointed out
that discrepancy in area between Mr. Kishel's recent figures
and the 43,792 feet is roughly 16,000 square feet, and Mr.
Kishel responded that this discrepancy is the result of the
filling done by Ronald Smith in 1976.
Page 1183
November 20, 1979
At the request of Councilman Losleben, City Administrator
Johnson read Section 5.5 of the Zoning Ordinance for the
audience and Council.
Councilman Mertensotto stated that he was not present for
the November 6th Council discussion on the application.
However, he stated that he had met with Mr. VanLandschoot,
and the previous owner, Mr. Ronald Smith, and that he had
studied all the materials presented regarding the case.
Councilman Mertensotto pointed out that in order to approve
the subdivision, the Council must also grant the variances
requested. He noted that in 1976 the Council considered an
application (for the subject property) for vacation of Cheri
Lane and a variance to build within 75 feet of the shoreline
and within ten feet of the extended right-of-way as shown on
the plat. Several years previous, the Council considered a
request for approval of a building permit for Lot 18, Linden
Addition. He noted that at that time, the property was
considered marginal, swampy land, and the request was denied.
In 1976 the request for lot division, street vacation and
variances was also denied. He stated that he has been trying
to determine what has changed between 1976 and the current
application - - the application under consideration is for
division of platted land that previously was not buildable.
He stated that all he can conclude is that there must be
more land area than there was in 1976, which is the result
of unauthorized filling done without benefit of a conditional
use permit. He stated that this is an irregular parcel of
land that in all past planning was never intended to be
divided. Councilman Mertensotto noted that in 1976 the City
received a petition from 60 to 80 residents indicating their
opposition to division of the lot and that a petition signed
by 103 people in opposition to the division was received at
the November 6th Council meeting. He stated that the pro-
perty is not located on a 60 foot street and that while the
easterly lot could have access from the 30 foot Cheri Lane
right-of-way, access to the proposed westerly lot could only
be via the extended 30 foot right-of-way which is currently
being used only for drainage and public access to the lake.
He expressed concerns over emergency vehicle access as well
as the responsibility for maintenance of the right-of-way
should the lot division be approved. He stated that the only
justification he can see for division, which he did not feel
to be a practical hardship, is purely one of economic gain.
He felt that the subdivision request should be denied, that
if the application were approved and the newly created
westerly lot were sold, the City would then be responsible
for finding a way for the new property owner to build and to
control drainage. He felt that the request for lot division
is unreasonable and that the Council's decision is discre-
tionary.
Mr. Bannigan stated that he interprets the variance portion
of the zoning ordinance to mean that the prime concerns of
the Council should be health, safety and welfare of the
community, not past history. He pointed out that the land
mass exceeds minimum standards for building and that the

function of the Council is to put into productivity parcels
such as this. He stated that the parcel should become
productive land rather than simply bringing in $46.00 a year
in taxes. He stated further that he does not feel two units
is an unreasonable compromise in view of the land area, that
the public right to drainage and access to the lake for
hiking and skating would still exist.
Councilman Mertensotto pointed out that variances are grante
based on hardship. He pointed out that Mr. Smith had ad-
vised him that he fully disclosed details on the earlier
denial of the vacation and subdivision prior to the sale to
Mr. VanLandschoot and that Mr. VanLandschoot then knew befor
purchasing the parcel that the Council had denied the pre-
vious lot division request.
Councilman Losleben felt that the lot division would be a
matter of convenience to the applicant only and therefore
could not support the division. Councilwoman Witt stated
that she was not on the Council when the earlier lot divisio:
request was considered. She stated that she can see no
evidence of hardship.
There being no further pertinent comments; Councilman
Losleben moved that the hearing be closed.
Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion.
Councilman Mertensotto moved the adoption of Resolution No.
79-119, "RESOLUTION DENYING REQUEST OF DAVID VANLANDSCHOOT
FOR SUBDIVISION OF LOT 18, LINDEN ADDITION AND VARIANCES
WITH RESPECT THERETO."
Councilman Losleben seconded the motion.
Mayor Lockwood opened the meeting for the purpose of a publi
hearing on an application for a conditional use permit from
Dr. Frank Milnar for placement of approximately 1,200 yards
of fill on Lot 5, Block 1, Ridgewood Park Addition.
Dr. Milnar stated that he purchased the property in Feburary
of 1979 with the idea of constructing a residence on it. He
stated that upon purchasing the property it was conveyed to
him by the owner at the time that it was a buildable lot,
that there were no water problems, and that an inordinate
amount of fill would not be needed. Dr. Milnar further
stated that when spring thaws melted snow it became
apparent that the lot was not a buildable site. He stated
that the lot provides the natural drainage for the area, and
a culvert runs through the property on a ten foot easement.
He pointed out that the only way he could remedy the situa-
tion is to bring in fill, landscape the lot and make it more
suitable for someone to build on. He stated that the lot
was misrepresented to him and he no longer plans to build
on it, his is now trying to make it a buildable lot for

someone else and to make it more asthetically pleasing for
the neighborhood. Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and
comments from the audience.
Mrs. Dorothy Troeltzch, 825 Hilltop Road, stated that she
feels badly for Dr. Milnar, however she is concerned that a
substandard house would be built on the lot if filling is
approved.
Councilman Mertensotto felt that the discussion should be
continued so that the Council could make a visual inspection
of the lot. Councilman Losleben stated that he would prefer
that the prospective property owner submit house plans and
that filling to accommodate the landscaping plan be consider
ed at that time.
Dr. Milnar stated that he is not trying to do anything
excessive, that he simply wants to accomplish a filling plan
which would give him some potential for sale.
Mayor Lockwood stated that the land should be saleable if th
Council would pass a motion indicating that it has no pre-
judice to building on the lot providing the purchaser submit
a plan for building and landscaping.
After discussion, Councilman Mertensotto moved that the
hearing be continued to 7:30 P.M. on December 4th.
Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion.
Dr. Milnar requested that staff research the history of the
lot to the north of his property for filling and building
permit information.
YACKEL LOT Mr. Roger Yackel was present, at the Council's request to
DIVISION discuss the division of Lot 1, Vandall's Outlots, and the
pending sale of the westerly lot, including the old struc-
ture. The Council acknowledged receipt of memos from the
City Administrator, Clerk and Code Enforcement Officer rela-
tive to the matter. Mayor Lockwood pointed out that a lette
from the City Planner dated January 30, 1979, indicates that
it was the intent of the property owner that the existing
structure be razed, and it was on that bisis that the Counci
considered and granted the subdivision approval. He stated
that the Council was advised a week ago that this wasn't
the case and that there is a pending sale of the property.
Mr. Yackel introduced Mrs. Donna Bradt and her son Peter,
purchasers of the lot.
Mr. Yackel stated that the first time he discussed the
matter with the City Planner he indicated that he had two
different approaches, one being to tear down the existing
structure, and the other to remodel the structure. He stat-
ed that he feels that the house is structurally solid and
that the cost of remodeling is minimal.
Mayor Lockwood stated that according to information receive

from staff, there is actually 200.95 feet of frontage on the
entire parcel of property, and further stated that the equal
lot division would actually allow property setbacks. He
suggested that the action approving the setback variance
should be rescinded, that there is no longer a need for
variance. Mr. Yackel stated that he still wants the ten
foot variance. Councilman Mertensotto felt the variance
which had been approved should be rescinded at this time and
that a request should be made, if desired, when a structure
is planned.
Councilman Mertensotto asked Mrs. Bradt whether she plans to
do all of the repairs at one time or do some of the repairs
and let the rest wait. She responded that their plan is to
do only the heating and sewer and water extensions now. Mr.
Bradt stated that next spring a new roof would be put on and
other repairs would be done. Councilman Mertensotto
suggested that the Council acquire some type of guarantee
from the Bradt's that the updating will be done.
Mrs. Bradt stated that they want to update the house, and shE
realized that she needs to give the City some kind of
guarantee. She was concerned,' however, that if a substantiaJ
amount of money is put into an escrow account she will not
have funds available to do the work. She stated that she
has contracted for the sewer and water extensions at the pre-
sent time, and that a contractor has been hired to reroof
the home in the spring and another contractor to do siding
and insulation in the spring.
Councilman Mertensotto suggested that the Council require an
escrow deposit which could remain with the City if the
building permit is not completed within a specified time
frame. When asked what the anticipated completion time is,
• Mr. Bradt stated that they anticipate completion in 26
months with the exception of the garage. . Mrs. Bradt stated
that although the Code Enforcement Officer indicated new
siding should be required, she did not feel that new siding
was necessary.
After further discussion, Councilman Mertensotto moved to
amend the original Council action approving the division of
Lot 1, Vandall's Outlots into a lot of 100 feet frontage,
and a lot of 100.95 feet of frontage, and rescinding the
ten foot sideyard setback variance.
Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion.
The City Planner, Howard Dahlgren, and several Planning
Commission members were present to discuss the proposed
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Mayor Lockwood stated that at
the November 13th special meeting the Council had discussed
the proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan and its distribu-
tion, and the action relative to distribution resulted in
a split vote. Mayor Lockwood stated that the 3-2 vote on
November 13th was the result of proposed zoning changes for
Page 1187
November 20, 1979
the following properties: two parcels of property adjacent
to the T.H. 49 right-of-way north and south of Mendota
Heights Road from R-1 to medium density; a parcel of land
adjacent to the Mendakota Country Club from R-1 to high
density; property adjacent to Pilot Knob Road and north and
east of the Acacia Park Cemetery from B-1A, R-3, and R-1 to
high density and medium density; the three parcels of pro-
perty adjacent to the I-35E right-of-way and Mendota Heights
Road from B-3 and R-1 to high density.
City Planner Dahlgren reviewed the history of planning
Mendota Heights. He stated that in 1960 when the City adopt
ed its first Land Use Plan, the City set some goals and
achieved them. One of the important things the Council at
that time tried to achieve was a balanced tax base. He
stated that some people might say that the original Land
Use Plan should be left the way it was, however, he pointed
out that many changes have occurred over the past 20 years.
Some of the changes he pointed out were the impact of the
fiscal disparities law, the trend for office parks to locate
closer to the Metropolitan Areas, an alternative housing
need for older residents has not been addressed in the
existing plan, and years agocities did not need to plat
land and then zone for usages. Today the laws are different
today rezoning must be in accordance with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Dahlgren stated that in looking at
the overall concerns of the City Council he feels very
strongly that the rezoning proposed for the MAC area is
necessary. He pointed out that no new commercial zoning is
being added in the proposed plan, that only changes from
single family to medium density and high density south of
Highway 110 are proposed, and that no changes north of High-
way 110 are proposed. He also advised the Council that the
only site in the entire City which would qualify and meet
the criteria for senior citizen housing is the parcel pro-
posed to be zoned high density adjacent to Mendakota. He
advised the Council, however, that the owners of that parcel
have been unable to get financing. He stated that the owner
have presented preliminary plans for residents showing
development (a mix of single family housing and townhouses)
and are no longer planning senior citizen housing for the
parcel. Mr. Dahlgren stated that knowing that Mendota
Heights Road must someday be extended, that the interchange
of 494 and 49 will occur in the future, he and the Planning
Commission feel that the properties adjacent to 494 and
south of Mendota Heights Road would not be appropriate for
single family development. Mr. Dahlgren stated that if it
is the determination of the council that the parcels north
and south of Mendota Heights Road and adjacent to the 35E
right-of-way north of 494 and adjacent to the Highway 49
right-of-way should retain the current zoning status the
action should reflect a determination that the zoning for
those parcels should be reconsidered for medium density and
high density zoning when the highway construction is com-
pleted. Mr. Dahlgren suggested that changes should be made
in the housing element portion of the Comprehensive Plan
relating to low and moderate income housing. He stated
Page 1188
November 20, 1979
that the Planning Commission dropped consideration of that
portion of the housing element after the public hearing at
Somerset School. He stated that the element should state
that the City is not going to change density or lot sizes
to accommodate low income housing.
Mayor Lockwood asked for questions and comments from the
audience.
Mr. Donald Huber, 577 Maple Park Drive, asked whether zoning
in the Acacia Park area to high density would subject the
City to low and moderate income housing, forcing the exten-
sion and financing of sanitary sewer and water improvements?
Mr. Joe Stefani, a member of the Planning Commission, asked
that if the Council changes the proposed zoning of the areas
adjacent to 494 south of Mendota Heights Road to single
family, if after 494 is constructed would the Council then
give the Planning Commission the opportunity to consider
changing the zoning for that property to high density.
• Mrs. Sandra Butler, also a member of the Planning Commission
asked whether in fact the Council wa§mgaIR-q-that even after
the freeway construction is completed the Council would not
then consider high density zoning for the area adjacent to
the freeway?
Planner Dahlgren cautioned that the Council should recognize
that a risk is being taken in showing single family zoning
adjacent to the freeways. He stated that the City must
submit a sewer plan based on the Comprehensvie Plan to the
Metropolitan Council, and the type of zoning which will in
fact occur will set the basis for the sewer plan for that
area.
Mrs. Madelyn Shipman, member of the Planning Commission,
stated that she thought the Planning Commission should
recommend providing for some variety of housing in the City.
That the Commission should recommend providing PUD consid-
erations in single family or else the City will end up as a
total single family community without any variety. She
pointed out that if single family zoning is established
south of Mendota Heights Road and north of 1-494, and is
allowed to develop as single family, when 494. iS 'completed
the Council will have lost the ability to make any changes
in zoning. Mr. John Frank, also a member of the Planning
Commission, stated that he is also concerned about the
zoning of that particular parcel of land; he would not
personally build a single family dwelling on that parcel of
property and cannot envision that anyone would purchase
the property for single family use.
Mayor Lockwood moved that the Council reconsider action
taken on the proposed Comprehensive Plan of the November
13th meeting.
Councilwoman Witt seconded the motion.

Housing element, that Planner Dahlgren's recommendation for
the Acacia Park area be accepted, that the following proper-
ties be changed in the proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan
to reflect zoning classifications as shown on the existing
Zoning Map: two parcels east of T.H. 49, one immediately
north and one immediately south of Mendota Heights Road; the
northeast and southeast quadrants of I-35E and Mendota
Heights Road;landnorth of 1-494, between I-35E and T.H. 49;
and a parcel adjacent to Mendakota Country Club property;
that the proposed comprehensive Land Use Plan be approved
for distribution to the Metropolitan Council and contiguous
communities, subject to review of the draft by the Council.
Councilman Hartmann seconded the motion.

BOND ISSUE Councilman Mertensotto asked for an opportunity to discuss
DISCUSSION his views on the proposal for a. park bond referendum as well
as a bond issue for Fire Department expansion. He stated
that he had been acting as the Council's representative to
the Fire Department and has been working with the department
relative to expansion proposals. He expressed his concerns
over the need to maintain a volunteer department and his
concern that the Fire Department expansion be considered a
high priority. Councilman Mertensotto expressed his fear
that current economic conditions are such that referendums
for both a $1.4 million dollar park bond issue and a $400,00
to $500,000 Fire Department issue would be unwise. He
suggested that the Council consider a proposal for bonding
for the Fire Department expansion and $400,000 for acquisi-
tion of the Wachtler property for park use. He felt that
the City should negotiate an option on the property in the
near future so that development does not occur, but that
the School District property acquisition be deferred until
some future time. It was his opinion that the sale and
development of the School District property is not imminent,
nor is its acquisition crucial at this time.
Councilwoman Witt stated that she agrees that the Fire
Department expansion is needed. She further stated, however
that the Park and Recreation Commission feels very strongly
about their proposal and about the hiring of a planning
expertise, including planning for a Fire Department issue.
She did not feel that it would be fair to sell the Park
Commission short.
The Council took the recommendations under advisement. No
action was taken at this time.
Mayor Lockwood called for a recess at 11:40 P.M. The meetin
was reconvened at 11:47 P.M.

Mr. Joe Dotty, of August Construction Company, was present
to discuss the status of Huber Drive. City Engineer Kishel
advised the Council that Huber Drive has been paved as far
as the Montgomery driveway. He cautioned that it would be
inadvisable to allow driving on the balance of Huber Drive
during current weather conditions. He suggested that once
a good crown on the roadway is accomplished, traffic should
not be allowed on it until there is at least six inches of
frost in the ground, in order to protect the roadway surface.
He also suggested that vehicles should not be allowed on
Huber Drive during the spring thaw. Mr. Kishel stated that
the only vehicles currently needing access to Delaware
Crossing are vehicles bringing materials to the August
Construction building sites. He further stated that the
contract specifications and an agreement with August
Construction disallow construction site vehicles from using
Friendly Hills as an access to Delaware Crossing.
Mr. Dotty requested that the Council approve the Engineer's
recommendation and allow his company's construction vehicles
to use Decorah Lane on a limited basis for a limited period
of time prior to favorable frost conditions and during
spring thaw. He felt that it would be a benefit to the
community, and to everyone involved, to restrict vehicular
traffic from Huber Drive to protect it from damage. Mr.
Dotty statedthat if the request is approved no big equip-
ment will come through the Friendly Hills area, only block,
cement and luMber trucks. The Council expressed its concern
over the condition of Huber Drive and protection of the
street from ruts and vehicular damage while the street
surface is doft.
After discussion, Mayor Lockwood moved that traffic to the
August Construction Company sites be allowed on Decorah
Lane for two to four weeks from the present time, and two to
four weeks during the spring thaw to allow protection of the
Huber Drive street surface.
Councilman Losleben seconded the motion.
The Council directed that a letter be sent to the Friendly
Hills residents advising them of the Council action and
Concern for the protection of Huber Drive.
Councilwoman Witt moved the adoption of Ordinance No. 165,

The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the City
Administrator relative to cable communications. It was the
concensus of the Council that adequate study cannot be made
during the ninety day period allowed for such a study, and
that Capitol City Cablevision should be advised to either
' proceed more slowly or withdraw its CST proposal. It was
also the concensus of the Council that a Cable Advisory
Board should be established and directed that a press releasE
requesting application should be published.
HALLOWEEN The Council members expressed their appreciation for the
BONFIRE • time and effort expended.by Mr. Russell Wahl on the prepara-
tion for and conduct of the annual Halloween Bonfire. The
Council members directed that a letter of appreciation be
prepared for signature by all members.
MISCELLANEOUS The Council acknowledged receipt of the engineering status
report for October.
The Council acknowledged receipt of a request for expansion
of the Ivy.Falls Creek, Phase 1-C, construction contract.
City Engineer Kishel advised the Council that the project
has-been completed so no action on the request is necessary.
The Council acknowledged a letter from the City Engineer and
request for Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company for an exten-
sion on the elevated water storage tank construction contraci
On the recommendation of the City Engineer, Councilman
Losleben moved to grant an extension for completion of water
tank erection to January 5, 1980.

ENGINEERING City Engineer Kishel distributed copies of a tabulation of
FEES engineering expenses incurred and anticipated as the result
of Marie Avenue Bridge Approach repairs. He indicated that
the total engineering expenses are estimated at $7,190.95,
however the total fees anticipated to be billed to the City
amount to $4,063.81. It was the concensus of the Council
that $4,063.81 would be a compromise as the maximum the City
would expend for the engineering services.
Councilman Mertensotto moved to authorize an expenditure of
$4,063.81 for engineering fees in connection with Marie
