• <br />• <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION OCTOBER 5, 2005 <br />APPROVED <br />1 City Planner Smyser stated the current application is for amendment of the <br />2 Comprehensive Plan only. The other application would come later if the plan amendment <br />3 were approved. It is important to note that approval of this comprehensive plan <br />4 amendment does not grant or imply any right to an approval of applications that will <br />5 follow. As described in the zoning ordinance, the purpose of a PUD general concept plan <br />6 is "to provide an opportunity for the applicant to submit an application and plan to the <br />7 City showing the basic intent and the general nature of the entire development. The <br />8 concept plan provides an opportunity for the proposal to be publicly considered at an <br />9 early stage." <br />10 <br />11 City Planner Smyser advised the concept plan does not require approval of any type of <br />12 vote. However, it is important that the Council provide staff and the applicant with <br />13 comments on the concept plan before the project design progresses. <br />14 <br />15 City Planner Smyser explained the components of conservation development noting it is a <br />16 method of developing land in a way that is kinder to the natural environment than <br />17 traditional development. In short, conservation development is a method of development <br />18 design. Projects that are designed as conservation development can be exempt from some <br />19 Lino Lakes growth limits, at the Council's discretion. <br />20 <br />21 City Planner Smyser stated the Hardwood Creek project would be a conservation <br />22 development. The applicants originally intended the application to be a conservation <br />23 design, and have been following the AUAR project. The AUAR mitigation plan requires <br />24 that all development incorporate conservation elements whenever possible. <br />25 <br />26 City Planner Smyser outlined the two reasons the City cannot exempt this project from <br />27 the growth limits based on it being a conservation development. He provided detail on <br />28 the five elements of the proposed comprehensive plan amendment as it relates to the <br />29 Hardwood Creek project. He also reviewed the concept plan noting the site would <br />30 develop from south to north in four phases, with over half the commercial development <br />31 and some residential in phase one. The developer envisions full build out of the site over <br />32 six years. <br />33 <br />34 Mr. Greg Hayes, Hardwood Creek Development, stated the Comprehensive Plan <br />35 amendment request is a tough decision for the City Council because detailed are needed <br />36 to make good decisions. The problem with master planning a very large area is the cost <br />37 to obtain those details. <br />38 <br />39 Mr. Hayes advised the concept plan is a snapshot of what the project may look like. The <br />40 land use needs to be changed to get to the details of the project. A land use change does <br />41 not mean approval of preliminary plat. <br />42 <br />43 Mr. Hayes stated an independent firm was obtained to do an analysis of the increase in <br />44 market value and property taxes resulting from the development. The analysis, based on <br />45 conservative valuations, indicated an increase in annual property taxes from $11,000 per <br />
