He is sympathetic to that, but they have about three months of work <br />to do, and then they can release things like this. This is just a timing issue, not necessarily what <br />is good and bad. Mayor Gamec stressed the need to include the cluster ordinance on a work <br />session soon. Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated staff is prepared to discuss <br />the topic once time can be scheduled on an agenda. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Elvig,seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to adopt Resolution #06- <br />09-_ to deny the request for an exception to the development moratorium with item no. 1 <br />amended as follows: That the City Council finds thm no undue hardship resulting from strict <br />compliance with City Ordinance #06-07. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

Case No.8 relates to MN Skyline Partners, LLC's application for an <br />amendment to the 2001 Comprehensive Plan. The request is to change the land use designation <br />from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. The property is located to the <br />west of Nowthen Boulevard (CSAR 5) and to the north of 151st Lane. The amendment to the <br />Comprehensive Plan, coupled with a rezoning and subdivision request, would allow the applicant <br />to develop the property with townhomes and bungalow homes. Mr. Trudgeon explained the <br />applicant is proposing to develop a mix of attached and detached townhomes on this property, <br />for a total of 51 units on about 11 acres. The proposed net density is 4.6 units per acre, and to <br />move forward as proposed, the applicant must receive a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to re- <br />guide this area Medium Density Residential. The property located on the southernmost part of <br />the proposed development will not need a Comprehensive Plan Amendment because the density <br />indicated on the site plan conforms to the low density residential land use designation stated in <br />the Comprehensive Plan. The site location map included in the Council's packet specifies the <br />area where the amendment is requested. The request is being processed for the three, unplatted <br />lots on the north side of the plat. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated until such time as the Comprehensive <br />Plan is updated, the City Council adopted an Interim Policy for Comprehensive Plan <br />Amendments to serve as a guideline for reviewing applications.
