Planning & Zoning Board November 8, 2006 Page 4 staff how soon plans would need to be submitted. Mr. Bengtson replied that staff would require plans to be submitted by November 22 in order to give staff adequate time for review and to write a staff report before the next meeting. Mr. Tourville stated that he should be able to get plans in by that date. Board Members informed the applicant that they would like to see exact pad sizes, locations and measurements called out on the plans. Mr. Tourville said that he could have the plans redrawn with the proposed reductions. Mr. Rafferty made a MOTION to Continue the Public Hearing to the December Planning & Zoning Board Meeting. Motion was supported by Mr. Laden. Motion carried 4 - 0. B. PUBLIC HEARING for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the proposed land use from Public /Semi - Public to Low Density Sewered Residential for properties owned by the St. Paul Water Services Mr. Bengtson presented the staff report, noting that a Comprehensive Plan Amendment was necessary as the Comprehensive Plan designated some of the affected parcels as PSP (Public and Semi - Public). Staff clarified that the St. Paul Regional Water Services was not looking to sell land to get rid of holdings. Adjacent property owners requested to purchase these parcels of land to combine with their properties. Staff recommended approval of the proposed request. Mr. Laden asked if a full trail connection would still be possible with this. Mr. Bengtson responded that the change of ownership would not affect the city's ability to put in a trail. Mr. Tralle opened the Public Hearing at 7:43 p.m. Staff noted that a representative from the St. Paul Regional Water Services was not able to attend the meeting. Henry Farmerie, 7425 Peltier Lake Drive, asked if there were plans to bring city water and sewer to the properties. Mr. Bengtson replied that changing the land use to low density sewered residential does not mean the city has plans or the capacity to do so, but in the future it would be intended for full service when possible. Mr. Smyser explained that the utility service for that area would come from the east, along 20th Avenue, as there is no sewer pipe to bring up Peltier Lake Dr. He said it would depend on development to the east. Mr. Farmerie asked if changing the zone was a requirement before the landowner could buy the property, and noted that the property owners were offered these strips about a year ago.
