All Ayes. Motion carried. Oneka Land Development (Seever Property) for Comprehensive Plan Amendment The Commission held a public hearing to consider the request of Oneka Lake Development Company, LLC, 3475 Willow Lake Boulevard, Vadnais Heights, to amend the City's Comprehensive Plan to allow development on a 69 -acre tract of land located outside of the MUSA boundary. The property address is 6822 Oneka Lake Boulevard and generally located on the north and south side of Oneka Lake Boulevard and east of Greene Avenue. The applicant submitted a sketch plan indicating 93 homes on the 69 -acre property. The developer proposed to construct `Bayhomes," which is a detached single family home with shared common property and exterior maintenance provided by an association. The CDD explained that in order for the development to proceed, the property would need to be included in the MUSA, and property located between the subject site and Greene Avenue would also need to be included in the MUSA because land within the MUSA must be contiguous. In July of 2003, the City Council had considered a similar proposal from the applicant. The plan was denied by the Council in 2003 because the Council felt that development on this site was pre- mature since it was outside of the current MUSA. The CDD explained that the staff is of the opinion that very little has changed with this property during the last year.
