8. That municipal services are not north of Trott Brook yet and based on factors such as <br /> unique lot configurations of surrounding parcels, lack of vacant, undeveloped land north <br /> of 175th Ave, and the amount of wetland/floodplain, it is unlikely that municipal services <br /> will be readily available in the near future; and <br /> 9. That through discussions with Metropolitan Council staff, it was understood that the <br /> Comprehensive Plan Amendment was not supported without an equivalent amount of <br /> acreage being added to the Low Density Residential area simultaneously; and <br /> 10. That through the City's Comprehensive Plan Update, scheduled to be submitted before the <br /> end of 2018, other areas of equivalent or greater acreage will be guided as Low Density <br /> Residential,creating an equal transfer of lands between Low Density Residential and Rural <br /> Developing; and <br /> 11. That the staff of the Metropolitan Council were not opposed to the City contemplating a <br /> variance to address utilizing private well and septic rather than connecting to municipal <br /> services; and <br /> 12. That as part of the Zoning Amendment process, the Permittee had provided supporting <br /> documentation from surrounding property owners favoring the rezoning to R-1 Residential <br /> (Rural Developing); and <br /> 13. That the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on May 3, 2018, pursuant to <br /> Section 117-53 of the Ramsey City Code. <br /> FINDINGS OF FACT <br /> 1.
