The oversized garage exceeds the 720 square foot maximum allowed. In that the ground -floor area of the residential dwelling proposed is 1,892 feet, the request in question is consistent with the Council's policy regarding variance for oversized garages. Motion made by Miron, seconded by Brunotte,to approve the request of Keystone Builders Corporation to construct a 1,008 square foot garage on Lot 8, Block- 3, Dellwood Ridge (aka 12015 Heather Ave. No.) All aye, motion passed. MUSA AMENDMENT (EXPANSION) The City received a proposal from Marty Wegleitner and Kenco Construction to expand the City's Municipal Urban Service Area to accommodate the Rice Lake Meadows Planned Unit Development Proposal. The City has approved the Planned Unit Development concept for Rice Lake Meadows, however there is a portion of the proposal in question that is outside of the City's Municipal Urban Service Area. If approved by the City Council, the application would be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for their review and approval. It is the intent to realign the MUSA line in the areas lying between Geneva Ave. No. and Goodview Ave. No. from a line 660 ft. south of the center line of 145th St. to a line 1,000 ft. north of the centerline of 145th St. This realignment of the MUSA line coincides more closely with the location of the Rice Lake Meadows Planned Unit Development. The MUSA will be increased by approximately 17.5 acres consisting of 15.3 acres of upland and 2.2 acres of type 2 wetlands. None of the wetland areas are being developed, while only 8.4 acres of the upland areas are proposed to be developed into 28 lots under a 120 unit Planned Unit Development for the 60.3 acre PUD. The staff feels that the request in question involves a rather small parcel of land, and the addition of this area to the MUSA will result in only minimal changes in Metropolitan Service demand. The Hugo Planning Commission reviewed the proposal at their meeting of February 26, 1992, and Unanimously recommended approval of the expansion proposal.. Mr. wren Weber -from kUusisto Engineering was present to answer q-..restions from the Council. Mr. Webar explained that this chanoe was an "incremental increase" request and not an "e.xchange" for acreage in another location. He .also informed the Council that the triangle shaped portion on the west of the development will remain in the M.U.S.A. area. Motion made by Brunette, seconded by Jesinsk:i to approve the request of Marty Wegleitner and Kenco Construction to expand the Metro Urban Service Area by 17.5 acres to include the Rice Lake Meadows Planned Unit Development. All aye, motion passed.
