COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 27, 2003 APPROVED 528 029 Community Development Director Grochala indicated it may be in compliance now and will not 530 require any changes. Staff will need to review it with the applicant. Mayor Bergeson stated this was 531 not a determination the City Council can make. He indicated staff will help the applicant with that 532 process. 533 534 Councilmember Reinert moved to adopt Resolution No. 03-62 approving a variance from the required 535 150 -foot setback requirement from the OHWL of Lake Amelia, for a proposed home addition located 536 at 6174 Centerville Road. Seconded by Councilmember Dahl. Motion carried unanimously. 537 538 Resolution No. 03-62 can be found in the City Clerk's office. 539 540 E. Consideration of Resolution No. 03-76, Approving Comprehensive Plan Amendment, 541 Elm Street Area, Michael Grochala 542 543 Community Development Director Grochala presented the staff report, explaining the changes. He 544 noted the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing and discussed the request at its May 14, 545 2003 meeting. The board unanimously recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan 546 Amendment, as does staff. He noted the amendment would allow the following: 547 548 1. Change the Land Use designation of 26 properties from Low Density, Unsewered 549 Residential to Low Density, Sewered Residential. 550 2. Change the Growth Area designation of 5 properties to a Stage 1 growth area. 1 3. Expansion of the MUSA by 7.04 acres. 1.5552 553 Councilmember O'Donnell asked for clarification on the 7.04 acres of MUSA being expanded. He 554 asked if they go into the bank or if that is extra acreage being taken out of the bank. Community 555 Development Director Grochala stated they are adding MUSA area, but it would bypass the bank. 556 557 Councilmember O'Donnell stated with Century Farms North the Council went through several 558 gyrations to make sure they were not exceeding the 20% over or under the yearly allotment. He 559 wants to make sure they are not negating that now. Community Development Director Grochala 560 indicated this amendment would not affect that number. 561 562 Councilmember O'Donnell asked if they were staying within the Growth Management Plan. 563 Community Development Director Grochala indicated this is a gray area. He stated that of the 26 564 properties in this amendment, 5-7 lots may be able to be split. He indicated the reason for this 565 amendment is to allow those properties to hook up to sewer and water now. He explained this is one 566 of those rare situations they did not anticipate with the Growth Management plan. Another situation 567 would be with someone with a failing septic system, where they would need to amend the 568 Comprehensive Plan to get them into the MUSA area. He stated there is no way for them to know 569 when that will happen to tie it into the Growth Management Plan. 570 571 Councilmember Carlson asked that Community Development Director Grochala explain the impact 572 of this amendment to the project. Community Development Director Grochala stated they would not 573 be able to get sewer and water to any of these homes without an amended Comprehensive Plan. 074 12
