6. While Regional Sewer is installed in the Eagle Point Business Park south of this <br />site, the available conveyance capacity is severely limited — to the extent that the <br />City should not even be considering any "wet" user in Eagle Point — much less <br />extending the Regional Sewer to another site as proposed by the applicant. No <br />other Regional Sewer Interceptor capacity is available to this site, nor will it be <br />for years — if ever. <br />7. The existing residential development to the east (Stonegate) is developed at a <br />density 0.30 units per acre. At the minimum residential density allowable with <br />Regional Sewer service (3 units per acre) a "single family" style residential <br />development as proposed on this site would be 10 times the density of the existing <br />neighborhood to the east. Such a large disparity of land use intensity (even if the <br />land itself is the same) at such close proximity could adversely impact the <br />character and property values of the existing development. <br />WHEREAS, at its October 5, 2004 meeting, the Lake Elmo City Council <br />reviewed the application of Inwood Associates for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment; <br />the City Planner's memo of September 20, 2004; and the recommendations of the City's <br />Planning Commission. <br />WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo City Council has reviewed its records regarding the <br />adoption of the City's 2000 Comprehensive Plan (see City Planner memo dated <br />September 20, 2004) and has determined that the City's 2000 Comprehensive Plan Land <br />Use Map designations for this site were not the result of error and that the conditions <br />relating to the site and its surroundings have not changed significantly since the adoption <br />of the City's 2000 Comprehensive Plan. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lake Elmo City Council <br />denies the application of Inwood Associates for Land Use Plan reclassification from <br />RAD/RR (Rural Agricultural Development) to part Mixed Use Commercial, part <br />High/Medium Density Residential, and part Single Family Residential; and related <br />rezoning based on the findings presented by the Planning Commission. <br />ADOPTED, by the Lake Elmo City Council on October 5, 2004. <br />Lee Hunt, Mayor <br />
