Planning Commission Minutes — March 27, 2008 Page 3 The Commission discussed the properties along Greene Avenue. Richard Graves spoke on behalf of Joyce Seever, property owner at 6822 Oneka Lake Boulevard. He said they do not like the Very Low Density land use designation because of the amount of wetlands on the property. He sympathizes with the Greene Avenue residents. Low Density would be acceptable but not Very Low Density. Tom Raster, 15227 Greene Avenue, talked about the tax value and the transition zone. Since the neighborhood meeting, he was not as concerned with being included in the MUSA, but he preferred one acre lots versus 2-4 home per lot. Fred Hummel, 7225 Oneka Lake Boulevard, said he represents signers of the original petition to remove their properties along the east side of Oneka Lake from the MUSA. He said he appreciated the City seeking residents comments and thought it was an agreeable compromise. Tom Jesinski, 7225 165th Street North, has approximately 10 acres on the north end of Oneka Lake and said he was willing to be included in the MUSA at 2-4 units per acre. Schumann said the property owner at the southwest corner of 165th Street and Harrow Avenue, Bill Bakula, had indicated he would like to be included in the MUSA. McRoberts made motion, Rosenquist seconded, to affirm leaving the Seever property and the Greene Avenue properties in the MUSA at one home per acre. All Ayes. Motion carried. McRoberts made motion, Rosenquist seconded, to reconsider the previous motion from the last meeting regarding the properties on the north end of Oneka Lake. All Ayes. Motion carried. Schumann made motion, McRoberts seconded, to keep the three properties along the north end of Oneka Lake in the MUSA at Low Density, 2-4 units per acre. All Ayes. Motion carried. The Commission discussed the rural planning area. Rosenquist said it should not be in the MUSA Weidt said the pipe should be sized to accommodate future MUSA. McRoberts said it made no sense to provide MUSA to the south where the lots were already small but made sense to include the north rural area.
