COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 24, 1995 repair would be facilitated in the move. Staff does approve of the relocation plan. The existing homestead contains no garage, the barn will allow for interior storage and fit with the nature of the existing structures. Staff is suggesting that a one year limit on the relocation of the barn be added as a condition of approval. The P & Z Board recommended approval of the minor subdivision at their April 12, 1995 meeting. They did not discuss the relocation of the barn.

Mr. Brixius outlined the boundaries of the planned subdivision. He noted that the current preliminary plat contains lands that abut the original Lino Air Park, that were not part of the original concept plan. The P & Z Board reviewed these requests at their last meeting and have recommended approval. Comprehensive Plan Amendment - The applicant is proposing a trade of approximately 27 acres. An agreement has been made with a property owner south of Birch Street for approximately 27 acres of buildable land that is currently within the MUSA. This property owner does not have any plans to develop his property at this time and has come to an agreement with Mr. Uhde for the land trade with the condition that this area be included as a growth area when the City amends their MUSA boundaries. Staff feels that a growth area designation in this area would be reasonable. The proposed Behm's Century Farms falls into what the staff has designated as a growth area in the MUSA expansion area. In addition, this proposed subdivision falls into the "infill policy" established by resolution where the developer would bear PAGE 8
