• PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD May 14, 1986 Page Five There was quite lengthy discussion with regard to the fact that the comprehensive plan task force is presently looking at the area south of Birch Street (this parcel is part of that area) as to the zoning and possibly amending the comprehensive plan for all or part of the area south of Birch Street. MOTION: Mr. McLean moved to recommend to Council that a public hearing be set for a comprehensive plan amendment to allow urban - sized single family residential lots on the parcel of property de- scribed as the part of the NW 4 of the NE 4 of Section 28, Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County, MN. Mrs. Averbeck seconded the motion. Motion carried with Mr. Cody abstaining. The Board discussed the fact that approval of the comprehensive plan amendment would give D. Erickson the opportunity to apply for MUSA line realignment with Met Council. Should the MUSA line realignment not be approved, the entire process would stop there. The next step would be to rezone the property in question from ER to R1. MOTION: Mrs. Klaus moved to recommend to Council rezoning the parcel of property as set forth in the legal description - Part of the NW of the NE 4 of Section 28, Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County, MN - 410 from ER to R1 pending the approval by both the City Council and the Met Council, of the comprehensive plan amendment recommended for approval by this body in the aforementioned motion. The reason for recommending approval is that through the comprehensive plan update thus far, it appears that this location is a logical extension to the MUSA line being that it is adjacent to the existing MUSA area. Further- more in order for the plat to be considered with the sewered urban sized lots, the property must be rezoned. Mrs. Averbeck seconded the motion. Motion carried with Mr. Cody and Mr. McLean voting no. Mr. Cody stated that he felt that the timetable under which the Board has acted is the timetable of the developer. He felt it would be more appropriate to take action after the comp plan task force has studied the entire area. MOTION: Mr. McLean moved to table consideration of the preliminary plat and variance to lot width and size at the developer's request until the outcome of the comp plan amendment and rezone is known. Mrs. Averbeck seconded the motion which carried unanimously. Mr. Johnson suggested to the D. Erickson representatives that they contact both the Building Official and the City Planner for input regarding the layout of the plat and also to take into consideration the request of the Park Board for land for parks. He suggested the applicant make contact before presenting the plat to the Board. •
