R -1 Sin le Fam : - ' • - • ' - • - allocation of ban a , WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings: 1. A public hearing was conducted before the Planning & Zoning Board. The Board opened the public hearing on April 14, 2004, continued it, and closed the hearing on May 12, 2004. The City's growth management policy and subdivision ordinance prohibit development outside of defined growth boundaries. The proposed plat extends beyond the stage 1 (pre -2010) growth area, the MUSA, the Low Density Sewered Residential land use area, as defined by the comprehensive plan. The project also extends beyond the R -1 zone. The proposer requests amendments to the comprehensive plan airing rap to accommodate the extra 3 -4 acres of development. It also would require the vacation of parts of a ponding and flowage easement. There is no clear justification for these actions other than to increase developable area. • 3. Section 1002 -6 of the subdivision ordinance lists criteria for determining if a proposed development is premature. These include consistency with the land use plan, including the staged growth area boundaries. A project that is inconsistent with these criteria is premature. 4. We do not yet know if water service is adequate to serve the development. Without adequate service, the project is premature. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Lino Lakes hereby denies the application for an amendment of the comprehensive plan to change land from Low Density Unsewered Residential to Low Density Sewered Residential and to change the stage 1 growth area boundary. • • ., • D, at e i y ounce a..- - -89-
