RESOLUTION NO. 2002-078
A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR FIELDS OF ST. CROIX PHASE 2
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission, at a Public Hearing held
August 12, 2002, reviewed and recommended approval of the amendment to the
Conditional Use Permit for Attached Housing in the Fields of St. Croix Phase 2 (Original
Approval Resolution 99 -59, September 21, 1999) by Increasing the Allowable Number of
Units from 12 to 14, based on the following finding:
1. The overall dwelling unit density of all phases of the Fields of St. Croix including
14 units of townhouse on Outlot C Fields Phase 2 is within the range defined by
the Comprehensive Plan for this area of the City; and therefore an amendment to
increase the allowable townhouse units from 12 to 14 on the condition that Outlot
A be subjected to an Open Space Easement.
2. The increase from 12 to 14 townhouse units appears to present no additional
significant negative impacts on the health, safety, morals, convenience or general
welfare of occupants of surrounding lands, on the condition that Outlot A be
subjected to an Open Space Easement.
3. There would appear to be no significant additional impacts on traffic and parking
on adjacent streets that would result from the amendment.
4. Because of the location of the additional townhouse units, the two additional
units (total of 14) will not result in additional impact on property values in the
surrounding area.
5. No significant additional impacts on schools and utilities will result from
increasing the townhouse units from 12 to 14, on the condition that Outlot A be
subjected to an Open Space Easement.
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo City Council, at its August 20, 2002 meeting,
reviewed and approved the amendment to the Conditional Use Permit for Attached
Housing in the Fields of St. Croix Phase 2 by Increasing the Allowable Number of Units
from 12 to 14, based on the recommendation of the Lake Elmo Planning Commission and
the following conditions:
ADOPTED, by the Lake Elmo City Council on the 201' day of August, 2002.
