PRESENT: David, Rubenzer, Oswald, Olson, Peltier ABSENT: Mezzano Motion made by Davis, seconded by Olson to approve the minutes of January 22, 1992 as amended. All aye, motion passed. MUSA AMENDMENT -- MERILA & ASSOCIATES Commissioner Rubenzer reviewed this application with the Planning Commission. Mr. Rubenzer stated that the public hearing will be held this evening to secure input on a proposal by 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 recommended by the � Planning Commission, 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 enclosed | " | current plan map" identifies the current MUSA line, while the "proposed ' plan map" reflects the proposed MUSA line. 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. | Mr. Ken Weber, with theKuusisto Engineering firm was present to review this request in more detail with the Planning Commission. Mr. Weber stated that this change in the MUSA is a net increase of 5.1 acres. Area residents were concerned that this addition would delete another area which might be suitable for development. Marvin LaValle questioned what effect this would have on those residents who have already paid a SAC charge and whether there will be adequate service when and if these residents are ready for utility hook-up. Mr. Weber stated that the City is billed on metered volume and the City is far from reaching its allotted capacity. Mr. Weber informed the Commission that the amendment monitors the growth of the area and the revision in boundaries is more logical than current boundaries. | Motion made by Rubenzer, seconded by Olson to recommend approval of the MUSA Amendment for Rice Lake Meadows Planned Unit Development as per Information Submission for Minor Comprehensive Plan Amendments, Figure 3. All aye, motion passed. P.C. Minutes - February 26, 1992 Page 2 The Planning Commission reviewed the request of Mr. Robert Bramstedt and Tom Connolly, for a Minor Subdivision and waiver of formal platting requirements to subdivide a 7.055 acre tract of land identified as 17385 North Forest Blvd., Hugo, Minnesota. The property in question is located east of Highway 61 and approximately 508 ft. south of 175th St. It is the applicants intent to subdivide the industrially zoned parcel in question into three tracts of land for development purposes. Currently there is a building located on Parcel B of the proposed certificate of survey. The property was rezoned from Retail Business to Industrial in 1991 by the City. In reviewing this survey it appears that the lots meet all dimensional requirements for industrial zones. If the Planning Commission feels this request is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and development in the surrounding area, we would recommend that Planning Commission action be subject to special conditions. Ms. Lori Flanagan was present and expressed her concern that additional structures on the described property (Parcel C) would create additional flooding on her property. Mr. Bramstedt stated that the drainage system identified on the site plan has been approved by Rice Creek Watershed District and the City of Hugo and was inspected but he did not specify by whom. Mr. Bramstedt felt that any development on Parcel C would be done on the western portion of the lot and would not create more surface water on the Flanagan's property which is east of said parcel. Mr. Bramstedt added he did not object to any of the proposed special conditions. Ms. Flanagan does not oppose the subdivision but would like some assurance that further development will not flood her property. Davis made motion, seconded by Rubenzer to recommend approval of the request of Bob Bramstedt and Tom Connolly to subdivide 7.055 acres (93005-2333) into three lots, two of 2+ acres and one of 3+ acres, zoned industrial, subject to the following special conditions: 1. The survey must be submitted to the city council within 90 days of preliminary survey acceptance or planning commission approval shall be null and void. 2.
