MEMO <br /> DATE : January 23, 1998 <br /> TO Honorable Mayor and Council <br /> FROM : Jim March <br /> RE Fruth /Fischer Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request <br /> As you may recall, the Fruths and Fischers had approached the <br /> Planning and Zoning Commission with a request to have the <br /> Commission support a Comprehensive Plan amendment to have their <br /> - property included in the current MUSA. After listening to the <br /> Fruths /Fischers detail how they have made many attempts over <br /> several years to notify City Staff and Council that they would <br /> like to sell their property as soon as possible, the Planning and <br /> Zoning Commission made a motion to recommend to Council that a <br /> plan amendment be considered to include this property in MUSA at <br /> City expense. <br /> At the last Council meeting, it was the consensus that the <br /> comprehensive plan amendment seemed to be unjustified. The <br /> Council requested a detailed analysis of the impacts of this <br /> amendment to the operations of the City. After discussing this <br /> issue with Tori Boers (land use planner) from the Metropolitan <br /> Council, she indicates that the amendment would probably be <br /> looked upon in a poor light since the plan was just recently <br /> approved as well as the entire Met Council staff being aware of <br /> the sewer constrictions in the Centerville and Lino Lakes area. <br /> Ms. Boers also indicated that a plan amendment to advance <br /> property such a short time period would probably not be seen as <br /> an urgent need if there was no identified developer and community <br /> need for a project. I would recommend that the Council pass a <br /> motion to deny the request for plan amendment based on the <br /> information received from the Metropolitan Council. <br />
