MEMORANDUM <br />July 24, 2002 <br />to: Environmental Board <br />from: Jeff Smyser, City Planner <br />subject: Draft Subdivision Ordinance <br />Agenda Item 6A <br />As you know, city staff, planning consultant, and a citizen task force have been working <br />on a new ordinance to govern the subdivision of property in the city. The Development <br />Regulations Task Force consists of City Councilmember Jeff O'Donnell and six <br />appointed citizens: two members of the Environmental Board, two from the Economic <br />Development Advisory Committee, and two from the Planning & Zoning Board. The <br />task force has completed the draft subdivision ordinance and we now are bringing it to <br />the full boards for discussion. <br />Of interest to the Environmental Board are probably the resource inventories for sketch <br />plans and preliminary plats, tree preservation requirements, and a minimum buffer <br />requirement around wetlands. We will discuss these and other aspects of the draft <br />ordinance at your July 31 meeting. <br />Please remember that the subdivision ordinance governs subdivisions: that is, the <br />division of property. Actions such as commercial site and building plan review, <br />variances, planned developments, and many others are governed by the zoning ordinance. <br />The task force is working on revisions to the zoning ordinance. These will come to the <br />Environmental Board for discussion later this year. <br />600 Town Center Parkway, Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014 -1182 <br />Phone: 651- 982 -2400 • Fax: 651 - 982 -2499 • TDD: 651 -982 -2410 <br />
