City Manager Presser reviewed Council Letter No. 241
regarding a request by Mr. Tim Gleason for preliminary plat
approval to subdivide the property at 7234 14th Avenue into two
new single family residential lots. He noted that legal counsel
for the City had advised that the city does not have the
authority to enforce or consider the restrictive covenant
regarding Fallden's Fourth Addition in connection with this
subdivision request.
Council Meeting Minutes
Tim Gleason, 7234 14th

Avenue, reviewed the dimensions of
ated by the proposed subdivision. He
property owners in the immediate area
and that the restrictive covenant was
John Nagle, 7311 14th Avenue, stated the neighborhood
opposes the subdivision and spoke in opposition to the
subdivision because it could create a traffic hazard.
81air Campbell, 7239 14th Avenue, stated that he had
obtained signatures of a majority of property owners objecting to
the proposed subdivision and concurring with the restrictive
covenant provisions regarding the size for a buildable lot. He
asked that the council defeat this proposal as requested by the
surrounding property owners.
Don Holding., 7145 13th Avenue, spoke in opposition to the
proposed subdivision as being detrimental to the neighborhood.
Gerald Herman, 7300 14th Avenue spoke in support of the
proposed subdivision stating that if the proposal met the city's
ordinance requirements it should be approved.
Vivian Pfeifer, 7220 14th Avenue, stated her concern that
construction of a new house on the subdivided lot may block the
flow of storm water across the lot causing problems for other
properties.
Council Member Garcia stated that the council had previously
voted 5-0 against the subdivision and that the issue is one of
policy to support or oppose. She stated she opposes this
subdivision because it infringes on the surrounding neighborhood.
City attorney LeFevere stated that the law allows the
municipal council to regulate subdivisions by ordinance. He
reviewed the history of subdivision regulations in the city. He
stated that the ordinance is not based on restrictive covenants
which vary greatly from one subdivision to the next. He stated
that when an application is received the council has little
discretion to approve or disapprove a subdivision if it meets the
requirements of the subdivision ordinance, in fact the Minnesota
Supreme court has made it quite clear that, in considering
subdivisions, a City may only be guided by the provisions of its
subdivision and zoning ordinances. If the proposed subdivision
meets the requirements of the subdivision regulations and meets
the lot area, the lot dimension provisions of the zoning
ordinance, a request may not be denied because of the existence
of a restrictive covenant which contains stricter requirements.
In the case of Qdell v. City of Eagan, the Court made the
following statement:
The restrictive covenants are private matters to be resolved by
the parties to the covenant, and not the City.
Council Meeting Minutes -6- August L0, 1987
Council Member Ludeman asked whether the drainage issue
could be the basis for denial.
City Attorney LeFevere responded that the Building Inspector
would not issue a building permit unless proper drainage was
maintained.
Council Member Sandahl stated that this issue was now
strictly a legal matter rather than the appropriateness of the
subdivision and to deny the subdivision would expose the
taxpayers to the unnecessary costs of litigation.
Council Member Ludeman stated he was opposed to the
subdivision but knowing the legal aspects of the issue he could
not spend the taxpayers money to defend a decision against the
advice of the city attorney.
Council Member Garcia asked how many affirmative votes are
necessary to approve the subdivision.
City Attorney LeFevere responded that three affirmative
votes are required.
Council Member Ludeman noted 'that the city is amending it's
ordinance regarding the depth of lots but that amendment does not
apply to this request because the application was already in
process.
City Manager Prosser stated the lot depth issue was brought
to light regarding this request; however, the proposed ordinance
amendment was not specifically for this property but rather to
address general conditions in the city.
Mayor Hamilton stated he felt that a house should not be
built at that location, but the council must heed the advice of
counsel to approve it according to the law.
M/Sandahl, S/Garcia to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 5-0.
M/Sandahl, S/Kirsch to approve the preliminary plat as shown

Motion carried 4-1. (Garcia opposed)
Blair Campbell, 7239 i4th Avenue, asked if the restrictive
covenant was enforceable.
Council Meeting Minutes -7- August 10, 1987
City Attorney LeFevere stated that several variables could
affect the status of such covenants and instructed Mr. Campbell
to consult his attorney on how to proceed.

project would allow construction to begin sooner and requested
that Walser be allowed to restrict access from the Mazda site to
the remaining Viking Center while maintaining the curb cut to

City Manager Prosser asked if Mr. Oliva understood that
Walser would forfeit the $50,000 cash escrow if the project was
not completed as previously approved and that the special use
permit could be revoked.
Mr. Oliva responded that he was aware of this and Walser
intended to complete the project as initially proposed.
Mayor Hamilton asked Mr. Oliva about a statement he had made
indicating Walser was planning to move to another site.
Mr. Oliva stated that he confused Mayor Hamilton with the

curb cut closure.
City Manager Prosser stated that the staff had recommended
the 7Tth Street curb cut be closed, however, Walser has suggested
an alternative of blocking access between the Mazda site. and the
remaining Viking Center, thus leaving the curb cut to 77th Street
open for tenant access to the Viking Center.
Connie Murray, Planning Commission Chair, stated this
alternative was not discussed at the Planning Commission but this
alternative would serve the purpose of not allowing car dealer
traffic into the neighborhood.
Council Member Sandahl suggested that the city council have
the city manager work out the details regarding the tenant
parking, prevention of car dealer traffic into the neighborhood,
and access to utilities issues and this be made as part of the
motion.
Discussion followed regarding service, customer, employee,
and display vehicle parking space stipulations.

with the existing timber wall as long as Market Plaza maintains
it.

timber wall was to be permanent.

approval from Randy Hughes or Mike Eastling to build the wall.
City Manager Prosser noted no request had been made by the
developer to amend the original plan and that review by the

was in compliance with development plan.

that the staff must be careful to give clear direction to
developers to avoid this type of confusion.
