REZONING - MARTHA PELTIER The Planning Commission considered the request of Martha N. Peltier, 15367 Everton Ave. N., to rezone 100 acres from Agriculture to Single Family Residential because she wishes to sell the property for single family development. The property is generally located on the east side of Everton Avenue between County Road 8 and 165th St. The property, located in the City's 20/20 Urban Development area, lies adjacent to Urban Residentially zoned property to the east and agriculturally zoned property to the north, south, and west. Staff felt the proposed zoning classification of Urban Residential is in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Adequate road access and the extension of public utilities would be required as part of the development of the site. Everton Avenue is proposed to serve as a collector street for the area between Elmcrest Avenue and Trunk Highway 61. This is currently a gravel road connecting the Peltier property with Frenchman Road. Sanitary sewer service is available from the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services trunk main lying along the east side of the Peltier property. Water service is available from the Creekview Preserve Subdivision. The City will not have adequate volume or pressure to serve the property until such time as the proposed new water tower and well are constructed. The City Administrator read the public notice as published in the White Bear Press, and Puleo opened the public hearing. Arnie Triemert, 15220 Everton Ave.; John Upston, 15190 Everton Ave.; and Mike Happ, neighboring property owner, were concerned about the road being a narrow cartway and the potential cost of reconstructing it. There were no other comments, and Puleo closed the public hearing. Kellison suggested the City Engineer and Planner address concerns regarding property values for surrounding properties. Kellison made motion, Kleissler seconded, to table the rezoning request and direct staff to schedule a public land use workshop to address issues regarding land use in the area. Ayes: Kleissler, Peterson, Puleo, Kellison Abstain: Peltier Motion carried.
