Pl anni ng & Zo ni n g B o ar d May 1 2 , 2 004 Page 2 APPROVED MINUTES Chair Schaps opened the public hearing at 6:36 p.m. Staff stated applicant had submitted an applica tion to subdivide an existing lot into three lots. This would require a rezoning from Rural to R-1X, a preliminary plat, and the allocation of six acres of MUSA reserve. The site is guided for Low Density Sewered Residential land use and is within th e stage 1 (pre-2010) growth area. He noted the project involves filling some wetla nd to create buildable area for one of the proposed lots. This needs the approval of the wetland mitigation from the Rice Creek Watershed District. This issu e is key to proceeding with th e project, but has not been resolved. He stated the notification for the public he aring was published and mailed to surrounding property owners. Therefore, the P&Z should open the public hearing. If anyone is present for the public hearing, comments can be heard. The P&Z should then continue the public hearing to the June meeting. Staff w ill have a full review of the project at that meeting. He indicated reconstruction of 62 nd St. will occur this summer. Sanitary sewer and water will be extended west from the intersection w ith West Shadow Lake Drive to serve this property. These utilities will not be extended further west down 62 nd St. Chair Schaps invited the public to make comment. Marvin Emily, 590 62 nd Street, stated he was opposed to th is project. He indicated he did not want the wetland filled in and expressed co ncern that the road was taking 20 feet of his property to dig a ditch and fill in the wetl and. He expressed concern that the wetland being filled in would add drainage pr oblems and excess water on his property.
