IN AN OPEN SPACE DEVELOPMENT STAGE PLAN
KNOWN AS "THE FIELDS OF ST. CROIX, PHASE II ".....
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission considered a concept review of "The Fields of
St. Croix, Phase II' at a public hearing held on June 28, 1999, as submitted by Robert Engstrom
Companies; and
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo City Council considered the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and approved the concept plan of "The Fields of St. Croix, Phase 1I ", on July 6, I999, and
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission, at a Public Hearing held Septemberl3, 1999,
reviewed and recommended approval of the I2 Townhouse Units in the Open Space Development, known
as "The Fields of St. Croix, Phase 1I "; based on the following findings:
1. The overall dwelling unit density of all phases of the Fields of St. Croix is within the range
defined by the Comprehensive Plan, and therefore the inclusion of 12 Townhouse units is in
substantial compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The inclusion of 12 Townhouse units appears to present no negative impacts on the health,
safety, morals, convenience or general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands.
3. There would appear to be no adverse impacts on traffic and parking on adjacent streets or land
beyond those anticipated by the Comprehensive PIan for OP Development.
4. Because of the location of the 12 Townhouse units near the center of the OP site, inclusion of
that unit type does not appear to result in a negative impact on property values in the
surrounding area.
5. The Townhouse unit type does not appear to present negative impacts on utilities and schools
beyond those anticipated by the Comprehensive Plan for OP development.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lake Elmo City Council does hereby grant a
Conditional Use Permit for 12 Townhouse Units in the Open Space (OP) Development, known as "The
Fields of St. Croix, Phase 1I ", based on the recommendation of the Lake Elmo Planning Commission.
