8 Request: Jeff Joyer and Ron Mikolai spoke during the public hearing and requested this 4.91 acre parcel be guided for a residential use at a density of 10 units per acre. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan currently guides this parcel as mixed use and allows for 8-15 units per acre. The proposed 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides this parcel as medium density residential and allows for 4-6 units per acre. The parcel is currently in the 1A Utility Staging Area (2008-2015) and municipal utilities exist along Lake Drive. Recommendation on Blue Heron Enterprises LLC Request Staff does not recommend the higher residential density request. Due to the surrounding low density, single family neighborhood, the medium density residential is a better transition between the low density residential and adjacent CSAH 23 (Lake Drive). The parcel has been guided for mixed use since 2011 that allowed for 8-15 units per acre but no development presented an interest in the higher density. The comparable 2040 Comprehensive Plan land use designation would be Planned Residential/Commercial that would allow for 8-10 units per acre but neither staff nor the Planning & Zoning Board recommended this change. F. Property Owners: Jeff and Mary Jo Joyer (Waldoch Farm) Property ID: #04-31-22-31-0004 Request: The Joyer Family owns several parcels totaling over 150 acres along CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) and CSAH 14 (Main Street). The 2040 Comprehensive Plan proposes the 40+ acres abutting CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) be in the Stage 2B (2035-2040) utility staging area. The Joyers are requesting approximately 10 acres of this property be in the Stage 1A (2018-2025) utility staging area in exchange for 10 acres of their 18 acre parcel along Main Street be placed in the 2035-2040 staging area. The property is located within Sanitary Sewer District 2 and is served by MCES Interceptor 8361, a 24 inch gravity sewer located along North Road. Utility extension is planned to extend from the south to north along CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) in an orderly progression as development takes place. The nearest utilities are ¼ mile south of the site. Recommendation on Waldoch Farm Request Due to the property’s location in relation to existing municipal services, staff does not recommend a change in the utility staging at this time. Staff does support the future extension of municipal watermain to service the existing business for fire protection purposes. Staff does recommend that any change or swap of utility staging areas be considered in conjunction with a standalone comprehensive plan amendment based on proposed use of the property.
