Case #7: Request to Rezone Certain Properties from R-1 Rural Residential to R-1 Urban Residential; Case of Dave and Betty Pehlke Community Development Director Frolik stated that David and Betty Pehlke are requesting to plat four metes and bounds parcels into two single family urban residential, lots, and an existing homestead served with private well and septic system. The properties are within the MUSA, but are currently zoned R-1 Rural Residential. In order to plat urban lots, the property must be zoned R-I Urban Residential. The subject properties are approximately 2.53 acres in size. The Comprehensive Plan amendment initiated by Ramsey in 1993, and approved by the Met Council in 1995, placed the subject property in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) for residential development with urban services. The adjacent parcels to the north, east, west, and south are also in the MUSA. The property is surrounded by a mixture of unsewered lots and sewered lots created when municipal services were extended along 150~ Lane. The current Comprehensive Plan targets this area for residential development with urban services. The applicant has provided a sketch plan documenting their intent to develop the property into two single family urban lots (The existing homestead will also be part of the plat). Approval of the rezoning would be based on the Comprehensive Plan and the applicant's intent to develop the property with single family residential lots. The proposed sketch plan of Pehlke Estates meets the current regulations for the R-t Urban Residential District. The Planning Commission reviewed the rezoning request at their January 2, 2001 meeting. There was no citizen input during the public hearing. Once a comprehensive plan has been adopted or amended, cities must conform their land use regulations in accordance with the plan. The property has been in the MUSA since 1,0-95, and City staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval of rezoning the property from R-1 Rural Residential to R-1 Urban Residential. Councilmember Anderson requested clarification over what the concerns were that were addressed during the Planning Commission meeting pertaining to trees and drainage.
