Motion by Councilmember Look, seconded by Councilmember Wise, to deny the adoption of the Resolution affirming the designation as "Park" in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update. Further discussion: Councilmember Look requested staff write a letter to the Metropolitan Council expressing the City's disappointment in the process the Metropolitan Council had followed. Councilmember McGlone did not believe the property was disadvantaged. Associate Planner Gladhill noted with this motion the City would not have a valid 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Councilmember Look stated this had not been brought up by the City, but by the Metropolitan Council and if the City did not have an approved Comprehensive Plan, it was due to the Metropolitan Council's action. Terry Southerland, niece of Joyce Reidhead, owner of the property, summarized the background of the property owned by her aunt. She stated this was a bid deal and the family opposed the change of the map to show future park designation. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Ramsey, Councilmembers Look, Wise, Dehen, Elvig, Jeffrey, and McGlone. Voting No: None. 7.03: Request for Conditional Use Permit to Exceed the Total Amount of Accessory Structure Square Footage at 8700 171St Avenue NW: Case of Rob Schiller Management Intern Hendricks reviewed the staff report. Councilmember Dehen stated he was glad there was no outside storage on this property. He asked how many sheds could be put on a property. Planning Manager Miller responded it depended on the size of the property. Motion by Councilmember McGlone, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to adopt Resolution #10-04-085 adopting Findings of Fact #0865 relating to the Applicant's request for a conditional use permit to exceed the total amount of accessory structure square footage and to adopt Resolution #10-01-086 granting approval of the Conditional Use Permit to exceed the total amount of accessory structure square footage, based on the findings of fact, declaring terms of the same. Further discussion: Councilmember Look asked how staff would control the removal of the accessory structure and that the play structure be brought up to Code. Management Intern Hendricks responded $2,000 would be required to be placed into escrow by the property owner to ensure compliance. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Ramsey, Councilmembers McGlone, Elvig, Dehen, Jeffrey, Look, and Wise. Voting No: None. City Council / Apri113, 2010 Page 7 of 14
