The proposal is to rezone the property from the A (Agricultural) district to the R-4 (High Density Residential) District.

This property is currently vacant land. There is an old farmstead located on the north half ofthe site. The site has a varied topography. The portion ofthe site west of McKenna Road generally drains to the DNR wetland located south and east of the site. The portion of the site on the east side of McKenna Road generally drains to the wetland at the southeast comer of the site, to CSAH 42 and ultimately to Pike Lake. The site is subject to the provisions of the State Wetland Conservation Act.

As part of the development of the entire parcel, McKenna Road will be relocated to the west. Sewer and water services must be extended from the existing services located in CSAH 42 to serve this site. Sewer service presently stops at McKenna Road. Water service must be extended from the intersection ofCSAH 21 and Carriage Hills Parkway, or from the water service located in CSAH 83 at Wilds Parkway. The extension of this service is planned as part of the CSAH 42 improvement project, which is presently scheduled for construction in 2002-2003. lfthe applicant wishes to develop the property sooner, a development contract for the extension of the utilities will be required. To the north and west of this property is agricultural land, currently zoned A and designated for Low to Medium Density Residential uses. To the south is the Jeffers property, presently zoned R-1 and C-5, and designated as R-L/MD and C-BO. To the east is a single family dwelling on 15 acres, zoned A and designated as C-BO. This property is identified as land within the Primary MUSA allocation. This property is consistent with the criteria for the extension of MUS A as listed in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan (see attached) once water service has been extended. The Issues: Section 1108.600 of the Zoning Ordinance identifies the following policies for amendments to the Official Zoning Map: · The area, as presently zoned, is inconsistent with the policies and goals of the Comprehensive Plan, or the land was originally zoned erroneously due to a technical or administrative error, or · The area for which rezoning is requested has changed or is changing to such a degree that it is in the public interest to rezone so as to encourage redevelopment of the area, or . The permitted uses allowed within the proposed Use District will be appropriate on the subject property and compatible with adjacent properties and the neighborhood. The proposed R-4 district is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation. The R-4 district allows residential development with densities up to 30 units per acre. In this case, the applicant is proposing to develop the entire site as a faith based community, consisting of religious worship, senior housing, community recreation and social space, education, daycare and a conference center.

Case File # 01-014 Shepherd of the Lake Church is requesting a zone change for the property located in Section 22, Township 115 North, Range 22 West, Scott County. Planning Coordinator Jane Kansier presented the Planning Report dated April 9, 2001, on file in the office of the City Planner. Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church has filed an application for a zone change on the property located north ofCSAH 42 and east and west of McKenna Road, about 1/8 mile west of CSAH 21. The proposal is to rezone the property from the A (Agricultural) district to the R-4 (High Density Residential) District. Staff felt the proposed R-4 district is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation. The R-4 district allows residential development with densities up to 30 units per acre. In this case, the applicant is proposing to develop the entire site as a faith based community, consisting of religious worship, senior housing, community recreation and social space, education, daycare and a conference center. The first phase ofthis development will consist of a church building. There is no time line for the development of future phases. Lemke: . Question on extension of services. Kansier explained the process and the developer's contract. Comments from the public: Steve Erickson, BWBR Architects, said the first issue was to have the Comprehensive Plan amended. The next process is that the rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and uses. The applicant's estimation is that the process is moving along at the appropriate pace. The only other issue is the schedule for water extension on the site. In the event, the construction on County Road 42 does not coincide with the Church's schedule of the construction, they would accelerate their plan and enter into a developer's agreement with the City. They will continue ahead with plans for the property but have no definitive schedule for breaking ground. The public hearing was closed. Comments from the Commissioners: Lemke: . The request is valid and should be rezoned. L: \0 I files\O I plancomm\O I pcminutes\mn04090 I.doc 12 III Ir . IT Planning Commission Meeting April 9, 2001 Criego: . Agreed.
