7 2) the amendment includes a Master Plan incorporating the Lundgren, Noren and North Oaks Farms, Inc. property that comprehensively addresses the extension of sanitary sewer and water facilities along with realignment of County Road J through the properties. Andrew Chirhart spoke on behalf of the Lundgren family. He expressed their concerns regarding the requirement that the future master plan include all three property owners (Lundgren, Noren and North Oaks Farms, Inc.). D. Property Owner: Arthur S. Hawkins Trustee and Ellen E. Hawkins Trustee Property ID: #35-31-22-43-0003 Request: Mark Riverblood and Amy Donlin submitted an email request regarding the 4.48-acre property located between I-35E and Otter Lake Road directly north of County Road J (Ash Street). The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the property as Permanent Rural and proposes their property be in the No Service area of the utility staging area. This is consistent with the last 2020 and 2030 Comprehensive Plan update. They are requesting that the property be guided Mixed Use or placed in a Land Use Study area and be placed in the Stage 1A (2018-2025) utility staging area. The property is located within Sanitary Sewer District 3 which flows to the MCES Meter M220 and Gravity Interceptor 802325 on the east city border at Cedar Street. Utility extension is planned to extend south of the current location (approximately ¾ of a mile north) after 2040. Land to the north would need to develop to provide services to this site. Recommendation on Requests Due to the properties location in relation to existing municipal services staff does not recommend a change in the utility staging at this time. Development at this time would result in a premature extension of public services. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan no longer has a Mixed Use district. Reclassifying the property to Signature Gateway or other commercial designation is not recommended given the close proximity to Otter Lake. Future consideration may be given to a low to medium density residential classification consistent with proposed post 2040 (Full Build) surrounding land uses. As the city continues to work with Anoka and Ramsey counties on possible County Road J improvements, we will evaluate the impact on adjacent parcels. 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 to I-35E, the city will evaluate possible plan land use changes in the area” Mr. Riverblood and Ms. Donlin supported staff’s recommendation.
