Kleissler made motion, McRoberts seconded, to table the item. All Ayes. Motion carried. 2008 Comprehensive Plan The Planner provided a summary of the work that had been done on the Comprehensive Plan, and she explained the future land use was based on the adopted 1996 Comprehensive Plan and the Everton Avenue Plan. She identified the categories that had been eliminated. The Rural Residential had been combined with Large Lot, the Urban Reserve and 2020 Urban Development had been eliminated and reguided for future development, and Parks and Open Space was reguided as Public/Quasi-Public. She also explained there were two new categories, Mixed -Use and Business Park. Revisions to the Zoning Ordinance and design guidelines would need to be made a priority in 2008. McRoberts asked about creating another urban reserve district, and the Planner said it would be discussed during the growth and management plan. The Planner explained five specific requests made by individual property owners and asked the Commission to make a recommendation to the Council regarding the land use designation on those parcels. There was also a resident who had recently submitted a letter asking that his property along 170th Street North remain residential and not be guided as Business Park. The Commission discussed the request that came in the form of a petition signed by 16 property owners in the neighborhood near Bald Eagle Lake that was currently zoned Large Lot Single Family Detached Residential and guided for 2020 Urban Development. The Commission agreed the City should consult the property owners of the larger lots to see what their thoughts were. The Commission discussed the request from Pete Sampair regarding the property on the south east corner of Highway 61 and 130th Street North. Sampair requested to have it reguided to allow for a 50 -unit apartment building on the site. It was guided for Medium Density in the draft land use plan which would allow for eight units per acre but not apartment buildings. The Commission agreed it should be left as is with the possibility of changing it if someone came in with a proposal. The Commission discussed the Raster property at 15227 Greene Avenue North and the Seever property at 6822 Oneka Lake Boulevard. Raster did not want to be included in the future sewer and water district. The Seever property, located on the north and south of Oneka Lake Boulevard, was guided for services on the north but not on the south. Joyce Seever was requesting the entire piece be guided for City services. The Commission agreed to wait until the rural planning policy was discussed. The Commission considered the Waller property located at the south west corner of Homestead
