WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan Amendment request was presented to the City Council at its June 21, 2005 City Council Meeting where the following Findings were made: 1. The City has experienced growth of public works and parks maintenance functions as the City has grown in recent years — and will continue to grow into the future. Also, existing City parks and public works maintenance facilities have deteriorated with time, and no longer adequately serve their earlier intended purposes. Those changing conditions dictate the need to designate a site in the Comprehensive Plan to accommodate the new and larger facilities. 2. The City's existing 75,000 gallon elevated water storage in the Old Village is both too small and improperly located to serve the expanded water service area that City growth and environmental consciousness requires. A well - balanced water supply system requires storage to be located remote from the water sources (wells) — preferably at the extreme ends of the system. The proposed site for the water tower would be the most responsive to this criterion given the well locations at the Old Village and at 55b Street North /Manning. 3. In recent weeks it has become apparent that some solution will be required for the private wells in the Tablyn Park area that have tested positive for chemical contamination from the Old Lake Jane Landfill. If City water is to be one of the solutions to be considered, it is imperative that the new elevated storage be near the west edge of the City and near Highway 5. This is one of few sites that would qualify. WHEREAS, the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment reflects a change in conditions for the City of Lake Elmo that supports a reguiding of the property described in Exhibit A from RAD to PF. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the land use designation on the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan for the foregoing described property is hereby amended from RAD to PF subject to review by the .Metropolitan. Council. ADOPTED by the Lake Elmo City Council this '"'- d' of J 20 Dean Johnston, Mayor � ! a. � i.:": Y. a l ii::.
