APPROVAL OF MINUTES Since only two of the four members at the March 18, 2015 meeting were in attendance tonight, minutes of March 18, 2015 were acknowledged but no vote to approve was taken. NEW BUSINESS Rezoning for WEST RIDGE - Case No. 2017-61 Turnblad introduced the case by summarizing his report of December 12, 2017. The developer, Westridge Development LLC, requested a rezoning of the property at 12991 Boutwell Road from AP – Agricultural Preservation to RA – Single Family Residential for a 14 lot single family subdivision to be known as West Ridge. Weidner discussed the possibility of extending Creekside Crossing to the Whitcomb property immediately south of West Ridge for future development flexibility. He also talked about the potential benefits of extending Neal Avenue through the neighborhood to intersect with Co Rd 12 at Northland Avenue. There was also discussion on whether Trolley Drive’s proposed location were the best for the properties to the east. Untied moved to approve the rezoning, which was seconded by Kozlowski. The motion passed on a 4-0 vote.

The developer, Hearth Development, requested a rezoning of the property at 12220 McKusick Road from AP – Agricultural Preservation to TR – Single Family Residential for a 15 lot single family subdivision to be known as Nottingham Village. The board discussed future development of surrounding properties and whether the proposed road alignment would enable that future development or hinder it. Weidner moved to approve the rezoning, which was seconded by Kozlowski. The motion passed on a 4-0 vote. OTHER BUSINESS Johnson reported on a conversation he had with the new owner of the property south of Hwy 36 at Manning Avenue. The property is currently within Stillwater Township, but would need to be annexed either by the City of Oak Park Heights or the City of Stillwater in order for urban utilities to be provided. But, according to the new owner, Oak Park Heights is not particularly supportive. So, the owner is interested in working with the City of Stillwater to determine if Stillwater utilities can be extended to the property. ADJOURNMENT Weidner moved for adjournment, which was seconded by Untied. The motion passed unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 6:10 PM. Respectfully submitted, Bill Turnblad Acting Recording Secretary
