Item No: 7B Meeting Date: May 22, 2006 Type of Business: PH & CB Administrator Review: ______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: James Ericson, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and Consideration of the SYSCO Final Plat, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, the Rezoning, Transfer of Land and Vacation of Easements and Right of Way Associated with the SYSCO Business Expansion Introduction: SYSCO Minnesota has submitted an application for a major subdivision of their land located at 2400 County Road J and the City-owned land between SYSCO and the Golf Course (commonly referred to as SYSCO Outlot A). The subdivision is a replat of the original SYSCO plat, approved in 1989. The replat takes three acres from SYSCO Outlot A and combines it with SYSCO Lot 1 Block 2 to create a larger development area which would be used to accommodate SYSCO’s parking lot expansion and relocation of the drive aisle. Currently the developed SYSCO parcel is 24.2 acres while the undeveloped Outlot A is 45.8 acres. After the subdivision, the SYSCO site would be 27.2 acres and the undeveloped outlot reduced to 42.8 acres. Even though no additional lots will be created as a result of the subdivision, a major subdivision is still required to effectuate this transaction as the total land area involved exceeds 2 acres. The preliminary plat was approved by the City Council on September 26, 2005. The wetland alteration permit will be considered in resolution approving the final plat. In addition to consideration of the final plat and wetland alteration permit, the area to be transferred will need to be rezoned to be consistent with the SYSCO site and ordinances approved relating to the transfer of land and vacation of easements associated with the development. These ordinances were first read and considered by the City Council on September 26, 2005. Because of the amount of time between readings, staff re-noticed the actions for public hearing. The SYSCO Minnesota site is presently zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development. The subdivision would be consistent with the existing zoning of the property, and the Planning Commission and Council reviewed and approved an amendment to the PUD to allow for the expanded development area and also reviewed and approved an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. Four separate actions will be required of the Council for this project to move forward—approval of Resolution 6804, which is an approval of the final plat and wetland alteration permit, approval of the second reading of Ordinance 761 which rezones the three-acre piece of Outlot A, approval of the second reading of Ordinance 762 which authorizes the sale to Sysco, and finally approval of the second reading of Ordinance 763, an ordinance vacating the portion of the easement covering the wetland proposed to be filled.
