LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 21, 1.989 PAGE 3 A. CONTINUATION OF REZONING APPLICATION (G. PELTIER) Packard Park, 3rd Addition RR-R1 (from 2/7) This rezoning application was postponed from 2/7 to this meeting. M/S/P Graves/Moe - to bring back for consideration the rezoning application by G. Peltier. (Motion carried 5-0). Councilman Hunt advised the Council of Resolution 83-56 and minutes, reflecting adoption by the Council on September 6, 1983, which amends the Lake Elmo Comp Plan, with the agreement that this land would not be rezoned for 1 1/2 acre use until after 1990. Hunt added this particular rezoning was recommended to be turned down by the PZ, and he would like to receive input from the PZ to see what they feel as the planners, (planner, Mike Black, has recommended R-1 zoning in this area) concerning where they see appropriate areas of R-1 and RE. Once we find out the staff's inventory of Rl lots, and before we have any rezonings of current land, Hunt felt we should first of all find out if there is a shortage or oversupply of R-1 lots. He would like to see the City act on RE Zoning and decide where it fits into R1, the Comp Plan, and Future Land Use Map. A public hearing on Residential Estates Zoning had been scheduled for March 13th before the PZ, but Councilman Williams felt this was premature and suggested postponement of the hearing until the PZ is ready to provide their version to the Council and for them to receive the Council's general reaction before a hearing is held. Councilman Graves pointed out that the City should be aware of the priority date of the application, what comp plan and future land use map existed at the time. His understanding was, at the time of the application, the 1986 comp plan was in effect, but it did not include a Future Land Use Map; therefore, this application is consistent with the existing 1986 comp plan and the Future Land Use Map included in 1979 Comp Plan. Graves added, this application was brought in prior to an existence of an RE Zoning, and he believes they have to review this application in consideration of the ordinances that existed at the time. Councilman Williams advised the Council that a Future Land Use Map, dated 3-15-83, does show this area. as RR zoning. This map predates the resolution and this map was considered, not only current zoning, but Future Land Use. Administrator Morrison stated, based on her research, it appeared this map was incorporated in the 1979 Comp Plan which designates this parcel to be Residential (Rl,R2 or R3). The 1.986 Plan that was sent down to Met Council designated this area as RR, but it also contained a future land use map dated Sept. 6 that designated all the area along I-94 as Agricultural which she understands the City Council never approved. The Administrator pointed out that the applicant was probably not
