LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 15, 1994 B. Mn/DOT Letter Administrator Kueffner reported she has not yet written the letter requested by the city council at the November 1, 1994 meeting, but has made a call to the person that wrote it and told them a letter would be forthcoming. 6. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING: A. Resolution No. 94-29 Pott/Hagberg minor subdivision, 1083 32nd St. N. This is a request for a minor subdivision (lot line adjustment) submitted by Francis Pott and Pat Hagberg (representing the estate of Vera Horigan). This subdivision will take a non -conforming lot and make it conforming. The Planning Commission reviewed this request on October 24, 1994 and recommended unanimously that it be approved. The Commission noted that no park dedication was required because a new lot was not being created. M/S/P Johnson/Conlin - to adopt Resolution No. 94-29 granting a minor subdivision to Francis J. Pott/Patricia Hagberg based on the recommendation of the Planning Commission. (Motion passed 5-0). M/S/P John/Conlin - to table Item 6B. until the applicant arrive. (Motion passed 5-0). D. Comprehensive Plan Amendment/Rezoning Applicant: Martin Colon (Tentative based on Planning Commission's action) At the November 14, 1994 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended, on a 5-0 vote, the City Council deny the applicant's request to amend the City's 1990 comprehensive plan to change the planned future land uses from Limited Business and Rural Estate Density to Highway Business. The applicant's proposed development is not consistent with the long term goals and policies for development along 1-94 as stated in the 1990 Comprehensive Plan. Since adoption of the 1990 Comprehensive Plan, nothing has substantially changed to compel the City to amend its current policy and is based on the findings presented in the staff report. At the same meeting the Planning Commission made a motion, on a 5-0 vote, to recommend the city council deny the applicant's request to rezone the Flying J Travel Plaza development site (as illustrated on the concept plan submitted with the 6/1/94 application) from Rural Residential to Highway Business. The requested Highway Business zoning is inconsistent with the City's 1990 comprehensive plan and is based on the findings presented in the staff report. Don Niles, attorney for Martin Colon, presented a chronology of events by Federal Land Company, a letter dated November 8, 1994 from him to the City Administrator, and a copy of Judge Doyscher's order.
