e e. CASE # 2 CONSIDERATION OF REQUESTS FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS By: Community Development Director Sylvia Frolik Principal Planner Pat Trudgeon Community Development Assistant Megan Wald A. OAKWOOD LAND DEVELOPMENT Background: Jacob Barthold, Lee KappedahI and Oakwood Land Development have submitted an application for an amendment to the 1995 Comprehensive Plan to expand the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) to include approximately 9.7 acres immediately north of the Apple Ridge/River Pines subdivisions. The following items are enclosed for your information: . Site Location Map . Proposed Sketch Plan of proposed subdivision . Planning Commission public hearing and meeting minutes dated 9/1 % 1 . Proposed Resolution approving comprehensive plan amendment At Mr. Barthold's request, the subject property was part of a Comprehensive Plan amendment initiated in 1993 by the City of Ramsey for a MUSA boundary expansion. By the time the amendment was approved by Metro Council in 1995, a portion of Mr. Barthold's property, which is the subject of today's request, was not included in the MUSA boundary expansion exhibit. The fact that this portion of Mr. Barthold's property is not in the MUSA came to light during the preliminary plat review of Apple Ridge (ensuing phases named River Pines) in 1997. The preliminary plat was modified to eliminate this portion of Mr. Barthold's property and as a result, 15Sth Lane from River Pines 2nd Addition to the west, dead ends on the west boundary of the subject property. . The March 2001 Draft Comprehensive Plan proposes to include the subject property in the MUSA expansion area in order to complete the River Pines subdivisions. The fact that 158th Lane in River Pines 2nd Addition dead ends on the west boundary of the subject property is problematic. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on September 10 and recommended approval of the request to include the property in the MUSA. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #01-12-_ approving the request for a comprehensive plan amendment to include the Barthold/Kappedahl property' in Section 14 in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and directing City Staff to submit the amendment to Metropolitan Council for e approval.
