The property is located north of 180th Street, east of Fairlawn Shores, west of Rice Lake, and south ofTH 13. The subject property was annexed by the City on April 4, 2005 and currently does not have a Comprehensive Plan designation. The Planning Commission considered this request at a public hearing on May 23, 2005. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of this request. Phvsical Site Characteristics: Topoeraphv: The topography of this site varies, with elevations ranging from 980' MSL at the southern end to 940' MSL at the northern end of the site. Veeetation: Much of this site has historically been used as cropland and pasture. There is a stand of trees located at the northern side of the site. Wetlands: There are wetlands on the property. A wetland delineation will be required as part of the Preliminary Plat application. Access: Access to the site is from 180th Street and through the development to the north.

Zonine: Upon annexation, the property is automatically zoned R-l. Utilities: Sewer and water services will be extended from the north through the Maple Glen 2nd Addition development. The developer will be responsible for the cost of extending the services to the site. Adjacent Land Use and Zonine: To the north of this site is the Maple Glen 2nd Addition development, which is zoned R-l (Low Density Residential). To the west is an existing rural residential lot and wetland located in Spring Lake Township. To the east and south are also existing dwellings on larger lots within the township. ISSUES: The applicant is proposing to develop this site with single family residences. The R - L/MD designation is consistent with this development. The Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives that are applicable to this request are as follows: GOAL: SUITABLE HOUSING AND ENVIRONMENT OBJECTIVE No.1: Provide opportunities for a variety of affordable high quality housing. OBJECTIVE No.2: Maintain a choice of and encourage development of quality residential developments. OBJECTIVE No.3: Provide suitable passive open space for the preservation of the natural environment and enjoyment of residents. The City of Prior Lake 2020 Vision and Strategic Plan includes a vision element entitled Housing Quality and Diversity. The primary policy under this element is to "Adopt a policy to provide housing for persons of all ages." When considering a Comprehensive Plan amendment, the applicant generally has the burden of establishing that the amendment is necessary because of mistakes in the original designation or significant changes in conditions affecting the subject property. In this case, these rules do not apply because there is no guiding of the property. The objective here is to L:\05 FILES\05 COMP AMEND\Lindstrom\CC report.doc 2 CONCLUSION: FISCAL IMPACTS: ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDED MOTION: REVIEWED BY: establish what the proper designation of the property should be. While annexation could be considered a significant change in conditions, in this case it signals the need to designate the property under the City's Comprehensive Plan and not the County's. Designation of the property for Low to Medium Density Residential (R-L/MD) would seem to be appropriate, given the nature of existing and proposed developments in close proximity to the subject property. Access and visibility issues would preclude designations of commercial use and industrial uses here which would likely result in land use conflicts with adjacent properties. There is no budget impact as a result of this action. Approval of the project will facilitate the development of the area and increase the City tax base. The City Council has three alternatives for action on the application: 1. Adopt a resolution approving the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to designate this property as R - L/MD. 2. Deny the Comprehensive Plan amendment on the basis that it is inconsistent with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. In this case, the Council should direct the staff to prepare a resolution with findings of fact based in the record for the denial of these requests. 3. Defer consideration of this item and provide staff with specific direction. The Planning Commission and staff recommend Alternative # 1. This action requires the following motion: . A motion and secon adopting a resolution approving the Comprehensive PI Amendment to the R-L/MD (Low to oens' R idential) designation.
