Planning & Zoning Board April 10, 2019 Page 2 APPROVED MINUTES V. ACTION ITEMS A. PUBLIC HEARING: Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan Kendra Lindahl, Landform, presented the staff report. As an addition to the staff report, staff would support a change to the Planning District 3 text to add a new bullet “As the City continues to work with MnDOT, Anoka County and Ramsey County on proposed County Road J improvements and an upgrade to a full interchange at I-35E, the city will evaluate a possible plan land use changes in the area”. Mr. Ruhland asked about tapping into Shoreview regarding the Lundgren and Noren properties. Mr. Grochala explained the sanitary sewer currently serving the properties to the south was not designed to accommodate the flows. It is a considerable extension to bring water and sanitary sewer to the Lundgren and Noren properties. Mr. Root noted the implementation of the PUD and making the tradeoffs clear. Chair Tralle opened the public hearing at 6:58 P.M. Andrew Chirhart, TaTonka Real Estate Advisors at 150 South 5th Street, Minneapolis, spoke on behalf of the Lundgren family. Mr. Chirhart has had several conversations with developers and builders and a consistent issue is the timing of the utility connection. The Lundgren family is requesting the property to be incorporated into utility staging 1A to allow for near term development. Mark Riverblood spoke on behalf of the Hawkins family. The Hawkins agrees as long as land use planning is included when looking at transportation planning. Jeff Joyer, 8174 Lake Drive, spoke on behalf of two properties:  Vicky Lane and Lake Drive – The property is currently planned to be up to 15 units per acre; it is proposed to be 6 units per acre. Mr. Joyer is requesting 10 units per acre. The property is currently for sale and utilities are available. The City is requesting owners/developers to reroute Vicky Lane to match with Kelly Lane. Mr. Joyer explained that this would result in a loss of an acre and significant development cost. Recommending the property to be put in as high density.  8174 Lake Drive (Waldoch Farms) – Requesting to provide stage 1 sewer and water to garden center area. Mr. Joyer stated they would be willing to swap the south 10 acres of the medium density parcel on Main Street currently in stage 1.
