~ " family homes. There were also a couple of residents from Fox Knoll present at the hearing. Fox Knoll is located on the south side of Aipine Drive. They also spoke in opposition to not only the single lot being rezoned to medium density but the decision last year to designate the entire project area now referred to as Alpine Acres to medium density residential in the Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation: The Planning Commission opinion was that the portion of the subject property proposed to be developed with townhomes will serve as the entrance to the proposed Alpine Acres subdivision consisting of 202 townhouse units. Changing the subject properties land use designation to medium density residential appears to be compatible with the existing land use designations and development plans for the remainder of the area. It was noted that if the portion of the parcel proposed to be developed with towhomes retained the single family zoning, there could be 4 single family homes developed. The developer agreed to reduce the number of townhomes proposed for this area from 6 to 4. The Planning Commission recommended that City Council approve the request for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Council Action: Motion by Councilmember and seconded by Councilmember to adopt Resolution #03-06-_ approving the request and authorizing City staff to submit the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Metropolitan Council for approval and that said amendment will be contingent upon the applicant receiving a rezoning to R-2 Medium Density residential and upon preliminary plat and site plan approval of Alpine Acres 2nd Addition. -or- Motion by Councilmember and seconded by Councilmember to direct City staff to prepare a resolution to consider denial of the request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
