All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />*Comprehensive Plan Amendments <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that the form to be submitted indicates that this is not a <br />MUSA expansion. She then asked what that meant. <br /> <br />Mr. March indicated that when he spoke to the consultant, he recommended putting the <br />entire parcel into MUSA rather than completed additional amendments in the future. He <br />then indicated that development of the parcel could be controlled with the developer's <br />agreement, but expressed concern for a different developer stepping in and wanting to <br />develop the entire property all at once should Ground Development not proceed with its <br />plans. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoeft indicated Council needed to determine whether it is concerned with having the <br />entire parcel come into MUSA at one time to be developed or if Council desires to <br />control the development of the parcel by not allowing it all to come into MUSA. He then <br />indicated that the Metropolitan Council has indicated that, due to a shortage of land, cities <br />would be allowed to develop as rapidly as they desire. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers expressed concern for control of the development if <br />the City allowed the entire parcel into MUSA at one time. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoeft indicated that economics would drive development, as the developer would <br />only be able to develop as fast as he is able to sell lots. He then noted that the City could <br />control development by requiring controlled timing of the phases with a development <br />agreement recorded against the property so that anyone who comes in would have to <br />follow the time line set up by Council. He further indicated the same could bc done for <br />other parcels within the City. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned how moving the entire parcel into MUSA <br />would affect the development. Mr. Hoeft indicated that the City does not have to allow <br />the developer do anything. He noted all the approvals do not change, as the only thing <br />affected is whether the Metropolitan Council controls development or if the City does. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated that in the past the issue of development has been <br />governed by the Metropolitan Council and was a restriction the City could use to control <br />development. Mr. Hoeft indicated the City still has the same control, except now the City <br />cannot point to the Metropolitan Council as the ones who are limiting development. <br /> <br />Page 20 of 25 <br />
