Planning & Zoning Board <br />September 27, 2005 <br />Page 6 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br />Mr. Smyser suggested that the Planning Commission make a motion on the <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment, and then if there are additional comments on the <br />concept plan those can be expressed. <br /> <br />Mr. Pogalz made a MOTION to approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for <br />Village of Hardwood Creek, LLC, and was supported by Mr. Tralle. Motion carried 6-0. <br /> <br />Chair Rafferty asked if there is anything the Board sees that they believe is important to <br />address in a positive or negative way in development as currently shown. There were no <br />additional comments. Chair Rafferty thanked everyone for their input on this case. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Michael Grochala noted that for the audience, what <br />this means as it stands tonight is that if the City Council approves the Comprehensive <br />Plan Amendment as the Planning Commission has recommended, it would then go to the <br />Metropolitan Council for review. He stated they have a timeline of 60 days, so it would <br />come back sometime in December. He advised that at that point a request for rezoning of <br />the site would come before the Planning Commission, and with that they would look at a <br />detailed traffic analysis, street plan, size, widt h, etc. He stated when they do a site plan <br />they will look at housing styles, overall placement and the open space plan, as well as <br />where the trails are going. He indicated they get deep into the detail through that <br />process, and there is another round of public hearings at that time, and a lot more <br />opportunity for input as they work through the process. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala stated that most importantly, the entire area would be reviewed against the <br />AUAR. He indicated stormwater management , air quality, noise levels, etc. will be <br />looked at through that process. He encouraged those interested to keep their eyes and <br />ears open for the notices because there will be more opportunities for input along the <br />way. <br /> <br />VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />There were none. <br /> <br />VII. ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 7:45 p.m., and was supported by <br />Mr. Hyden. Motion carried 6-0. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Karen Bucklen, Recording Secretary <br />TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc .
