LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 2, 1992 4 In regard to impact fees Mayor Johnson liked the idea, but voiced his concern about the fees charged a development and be very clear how they are demanding extra services and account for those extra services. We have to be consistent in all districts. If this got out of hand, this could be challenged. Mayor Johnson wondered if some of the conditional uses, if they are appropriate uses, should be allowed by being permitted uses in the zoning district. M/S/P Williams/Hunt - that the 75 day deadline, which had previously been set by the City Council on development of this MUSA ordinance, be extended to coincide with the deadline for review by the Met Council of our Comprehensive Plan amendment for this MUSA area. (Motion carried 4-0). C. Planning Commission's Recommendation on zoning south of 10th Street. Planning Commissioner, Rita Conlin, explained the PZ has requested further information on clustering, which they have not received as yet, and have placed clustering on their work plan. Mayor Johnson explained his understanding was that the two items, clustering and the rezoning of property south of 10th Street, were to be reviewed simultaneously by the PZ. Councilmen Williams and Hunt recalled that clustering and the rezoning of property south of 10th Street were not to be linked together, but to be investigated independently by the PZ. M/S/F Williams/Hunt - to direct the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing on rezoning areas 1 and 2, as outlined in Mike Black's map, with the exception of the Hanson property. (Motion failed 2-2: Mayor Johnson: This motion is premature at this point, Mottaz: the question as to what is the Comprehensive Plan and what are the amendments have to be resolved). Mayor Johnson: The Comp Plan indicates a 1/4 mile along the freeway as Highway Business overlay which appears to him that an amendment would have to be made. He had a problem with the Comp Plan now because we have a map indicating future land uses that are outside of the written comp plan that states this would be a Highway Business Overlay. A discussion ensued regarding whether or not the document adopted by Resolution No. 91-41 and labelled "Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan 1990-2010" replaces any and all previous versions of the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan.
