MAYOR WOODBURN: (Inaudible) in January. . MR. LAUGHINGHOUSE: We can work on it right away. MAYOR WOODBURN: It should be one of our items on the agenda hopefully in January. MR. JOHN ECKERT, 3620 North Pascal: As it's been ex- plained here, there are going to be no improvements to North Pascal. Is that correct? MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: There is a potential - not along Pascal itself - a potential turn-around at the north end of it. An emergency vehicle turn-around. I didn't discuss that. That's part of the proposed improvement - part of the cost as in the proposed improvement is to 'provide what we call a haIlUllerhead-typeturn-around - just a "T" - for emergency vehicles to turn around. Relocation of a hydrant. That's the extent of the construction. MAYOR WOODBURN: Any more questions or COIlUllents? MR. MAX STOUTENBURG, 1435 West County Road E: In regard to the lot size - the lot size is going to be quite a bit larger than what the existing lot sizes are in the other area. For instance, my lot there in the corner is 75 by 168, I believe, and I don't know what the others are, but you get up into that other area there and the lots look like they're twice the size of what the normal lot size is. Is this standard procedure for the Village - to put that size lots in there? And again, what kind of housing is going to go in there when they build the houses? Are these lots just going to go up for sale and the owner has the choice of picking the type of housing that goes in there or are you actually going to build the houses and sell them as lots and houses? Are you going to sell the lots or lots and houses? What kind of housing can we expect in there? Are they going to be in the $100,000 category? If you build a $100,000 house right behind my house, my property values are going to drop. That's what'I'm con- cerned about. . MR. LAUGHINGHOUSE: Our firm does not build this kind of single family home: We have developed - just to give you some kind of idea - we have developed, in the last three years I'll go through it real quickly - in Lake Elmo, 150 single family lots; in Mendota Heights, 40 some; Apple Valley, 70 some; Minnetonka, well over 100; Wayzata, 20; all single family. In Minnetonka we have also developed a couple of duplex lots - seven in fact. In Coon Rapids we have 114 lots of singles and quads. The only construction our company has ever done has been on the duplex lots in Minnetonka. Generally, our plan - first of all, we sell them to make the most money (inaudible). Generally, our plan has been to sell these to individual purchasers. In the past, that's what we've done. We have also usually - and ,at this point I don't want to say we're going to - but we usually put covenants on the property 5
