WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission reviewed the
application at its October 25, 1999 meeting and recommended
that the Comprehensive Plan Amendment be denied based on the
following findings:
1. Land use classification of the site as Commercial is
inconsistent with the Commercial Use Comprehensive Plan Goals
and Policies regarding location.
2. The sand use reclassification of the site would result in an
18 acre " spot" surrounded by Limited Business and Rural
Agricultural Development classified lands.
3. The physical impacts to the environment and City
infrastructure would be substantially more negative from uses
of the land responsive to the Commercial land classification
applied for than the existing Rural Agricultural Development
classification.
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo City Council reviewed the Comprehensive
Plan Amendment application on November 2, 1999,
NOW, THERERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment from Rural Agricultural to Commercial is hereby denied to
Terry Emerson and Trans City Investments based on the findings of the
Planning Commission.
ADOPTED, by the Lake Elmo City Council this 2nd day of November
1999.
