• CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 04 -84 RESOLUTION DENYING AN AMENDMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, DENYING A REZONING, DENYING ALLOCATION OF MUSA RESERVE, AND DENYING A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOX DEN ACRES WHEREAS, the City has received applications for developing an area known as Fox Den Acres; and WHEREAS, the development requires approval of: an amendment to the comprehensive plan, a rezoning from Rural to R -1 Single Family Residential, the allocation of Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) reserve, and a preliminary plat; and WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings: 1. A public hearing was conducted before the Planning & Zoning Board. The Board opened the public hearing on April 14, 2004, continued it, and closed the hearing on May 12, 2004. The City's growth management policy and subdivision ordinance prohibit development outside of defined growth boundaries. The proposed plat extends beyond the stage 1 (pre -2010) growth area, the MUSA, the Low Density Sewered Residential land use area, as defined by the comprehensive plan. The project also extends beyond the R -1 zone. The proposer requests amendments to the comprehensive plan and zoning map to accommodate the extra 3 -4 acres of development. It also would require the vacation of parts of a ponding and flowage easement. There is no clear justification for these actions other than to increase developable area. •• 3. Section 1002 -6 of the subdivision ordinance lists criteria for determining if a proposed development is premature. These include consistency with the land use plan, including the staged growth area boundaries. A project that is inconsistent with these criteria is premature. 4. We do not yet know if water service is adequate to serve the development. Without adequate service, the project is premature. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Lino Lakes hereby denies the application for an amendment of the comprehensive plan to change land from Low Density Unsewered Residential to Low Density Sewered Residential and to change the stage 1 growth area boundary. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council also denies the application for MUSA reserve allocation. OE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council also denies the application for a zoning amendment to change the zoning of land from Rural to R -1 Single Family Residential. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council also denies the application for a preliminary plat. - 8 9 -
