Mounds View City Council May 22, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 7 (1) Resolution 6804, Final Plat and Wetland Alteration Permit Approval for the SYSCO Second Addition Major Subdivision. Mayor Marty opened the public hearings on Resolution 6804, Ordinances 761, 762, and 763 at 8:08 p.m. Community Development Director Ericson stated this is consideration of the final plat for SYSCO. He explained there is also a wetland alteration permit and three ordinances to dispose of the three acres of land to SYSCO, rezone that three acres, and vacate a small easement area formerly identified as wetland. He apologized that the staff report indicates a Comprehensive Plan amendment, which is not the case since that amendment was authorized last year. Director Ericson explained that during consideration of the preliminary plat action, it showed two lots. One of the Council directions to SYSCO and their representatives was to talk to Ramsey County about vacating the former Long Lake Road right-of--way that split their property. The plat was put on hold pending that request and Ramsey County did authorize a turn back of that land. Mounds View vacated that right-of--way land by ordinance. Director Ericson distributed a revised map and described each of the lots and Outlot B, which is five acres of land that no longer reflects the public use deed restriction present on Outlot A, and reflects the easements for trails, billboards, and access rights for Medtronic and Clear Channel. Staff recommends approval of the final plat because everything is in order. • Director Ericson stated the resolution also considers a wetland alteration permit and language that addresses impacts to the 1.83 acres of wetland related to the relocation of the driveway. The project mitigates 3.73 acres and the map identifies what is filled, what is new wetland, and what is buffer. Because the resolution does not reflect wetland alteration permit approval, he recommended the following addition to the draft resolution: "NOW THEREFORE BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Mounds View City Council does hereby approve a Wetland Alteration Replacement Permit to impact 1.83 acres of wetland with mitigation totaling 3.73 acres subject to Rice Creek Watershed District and MPCA approval." Director Ericson explained the three acres taken from Outlot A is zoned Light Industrial and the desire is that it have the same zoning as SYSCO, which is PUD. There are no issues associated with the first reading of that ordinance but given the amount of time since the public hearing, notice was again posted. He advised that one resident on the south side of Highway 10 called to ask what the impact is to her, which is none. In addition, Mn/DOT was notified. Director Ericson explained the second ordinance vacates the easement area, as identified on Exhibit A, that will be filled with the driveway and parking area. That area needs to be vacated through the second reading of the ordinance. • Director Ericson stated the third ordinance would transfer the land to SYSCO, which requires an ordinance. He summarized the four actions before the Council to approve the final plat and
