Planning & Zoning Board October 12, 2022 Page 4 DRAFT MINUTES How a property is zoned and developed is dictated by the Comphrensive Plan. The FUD identification holds it in a holding pattern and does not change the underlying land use that is proposed on that parcel. There could be FUD properties that are guided commercial use. Those would need to be rezoned to Commercial. Mr. Grochala stated if you look at the zoning map you can see how the area is zoned around you in the future. Mr. Root stated there would be a buffer between different zones.  Linda Broussard Vickers – 6756 Centerville Road, Centerville 55038 Ms. Linda Broussard Vickers believes this is being done because a 20 acre parcel is more valuable to future developers not putting the needs of the owner before the developer. Owners have always believed that they could split their land into 10 acre parcels which she believes has more value to a seller. She spoke to the County to see if there would be a tax increase with the new zoning for her property of 38 acres and was told at this point it will not be changing. He did say if you divide it down they would change the land value making each parcel worth more therefore paying more taxes. She said it would be worth it if she went to sell the parcels. Ms. Broussard Vickers stated by doing this rezoning we are potentially taking away someone’s nest egg or not allowing children to have the 10 acre parcels nearby. This rezoning is preventing them from using their land the way they wanted to when purchasing the land. The City’s intent to maintaining those larger sizes is to efficiently expand urban services as they become available. The City is not looking at it from a developer point of view. The City believes it is a benefit to the property owner because they will be able to sell the land off for more units. If they can develop with sewer and water that will also bring more value to the property. Property that can be sold more units per acre will yield a higher price per acre than one that can sell 1 unit per 10 acres. Ms. Broussard Vickers believes developed land would be more value in the new FUD zone. You don’t have to rezone to identify for future development or change the lot size. Any lot can be changed from what it is with a comp plan amendment. These things are not changing availability they are just more attractive. Mr. Root said her comments and concerns are noted. Property is developed with efficiency with where to put roads to open space. The decision was to rezone to FUD. It will move forward to council the comp plan can always be changed as needed as it’s been done before. The City is showing their intent on how properties can be developed in the future and the standards they would have to abide by. The zoning codes are set up to balance the rights of property owners with the needs of the community.  Lydia Becker for Richard Dick – 8061 Lake Drive, Lino Lakes, MN 55014 Ms. Lydia Becker wanted to know the time line that it would take effect.
