Recommendation: <br />Since this is a legislative (policy) decision of the City due to the fact that the request requires a Zoning <br />Amendment, Staff needs broad policy direction before formulating a recommendation. The Planning Commission <br />should provide feedback on moving the project forward to Preliminary Plat. This is a key time in the project to <br />make major layout changes, provide feedback on lot sizes, road alignment, trails, etc. before the Developer incurs <br />the expense of detailed civil engineering drawings. Staff does believe there is room to compromise on a mix of lot <br />sizes. <br />Based on the 60 Day Rule (Minnesota Statutes 15,99), Ordinance #20-07 does need to move forward to City <br />Council. If approved, the Ordinance would be contingent upon approval of a future Preliminary Plat and tied to this <br />project specifically. The Planning Commission could request that the Applicant approve an additional 60 Day <br />Extension to provide additional time for discussion, negotiation and compromise. This would require written <br />confirmation by the Developer. Staff is hopeful that the Developer will be willing to provide an additional extension <br />if the City desires to explore a compromise concept plan. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend that the City Council approve/deny/modify the Ordinance #20-07 approving a Zoning <br />Amendment for the Makowsky Property for the The Excelsior Group. <br />Procedural note: The Planning Commission may ask the Developer for an extension, but explicitly approval by the <br />Developer is required. The City has exhausted its administrative extensions. If the Planning Commission desires <br />additional time to discuss, but the Developer is unwilling to provide the necessary extension, the Planning <br />Commission should recommend denial of the Zoning Amendment. It is noted that the Developer has expressed a <br />willingness to continue discussions. <br />Site Location Map <br />Sketch Plan <br />Anoka County Review <br />Planning Technical Report <br />2040 Land Use Map (Comprehensive Plan) <br />Staff Comments (Sheet 1) <br />Staff Comments (Sheet 2) <br />Written Resident Comments (for Public Record) <br />Summary of Resident's Comments <br />Change.org Signatures (as of May 5, 2020) <br />Change.org Comments <br />Ordinance 20-07 <br />Draft Planning Commission Presentation <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Chris Anderson Chloe McGuire Brigl 03/24/2020 03:37 PM <br />Chris Anderson Chris Anderson 03/24/2020 04:17 PM <br />Tim Gladhill Chloe McGuire Brigl 03/25/2020 09:56 AM <br />Chris Anderson Chris Anderson 03/25/2020 01:37 PM <br />Tim Gladhill Chloe McGuire Brigl 04/08/2020 09:07 AM <br />Chris Anderson Chris Anderson 04/20/2020 07:54 AM <br />Tim Gladhill Chloe McGuire Brigl 04/29/2020 08:37 AM <br />Chris Anderson Chris Anderson 04/30/2020 01:31 PM <br />
