Compatibility. In examining surrounding land uses and zoning designations, it is believed the proposed use can compatibly coexist with surrounding uses in the area. Direction Land Use Zoning North Open Space (City of Vadnais Heights) N/A South Open Space (Twin Lake) /Single Family R -1 Residential East Single Family Residential (City of N/A Vadnais Heights) West Open Space (Twin Lake) /Single Family R -1 Residential Performance Standards. As a condition of PUD /Conditional use permit approval, the proposed development will be required to meet all applicable R -2 /Shoreland development standards. Public Services. In considering rezoning requests, findings should be made that the proposed use will not overburden City services. While it is anticipated that the proposed use and resulting traffic generation may be capably handled by Vadnais Boulevard, this item will be subject to further examination as part of the Development Stage PUD. The subject site would receive sanitary sewer service from the City of Little Canada. Water service, on the other hand, would have to be received from Vadnais Heights. As a consequence, a joint powers agreement must be reached to accommodate the utility needs of the proposed use. Annexation /Detachment. As noted previously, approximately 1.6 acres of the subject 16 acre site lies within the City of Vadnais Heights. Obviously, the City of Little Canada cannot rezone land outside of its jurisdiction. To accommodate the proposed development, the following options appear available to the City. 1. Annex the ± 1.6 acres of the subject site which lies within Vadnais Heights. 2. Trade the ± 1.6 acres of the subject site within Vadnais Heights for ± 2.0 acres of Little Canada land located southeast of the subject property. 3. Design the development so that the portion of the site within Vadnais Heights does not contain any individual dwelling units and is devoted exclusively to open space. 3 Page 78
