Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —March 10, 2015 Page 2 PUBLIC HEARING: Comprehensive Plan Amendment —Tract A, RLS No. 262 — 3200 South Coon Creek Drive — Incorporate Property into MUSA and Change Land Use Designation from OS, Open Space to URL Urban Residential Low Density Community Development Director Carlberg noted the purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing and take input on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment — Tract A, RLS No 262 — 3200 South Coon Creek Drive, to incorporate property into MUSA and change land use designation from OS, Open Space to URL Urban Residential Low Density. Community Development Director Carlberg reviewed the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment with the Commission. Commissioner Koehler asked what the premise of designating a land as open space and what was the guideline for it. He wondered whether there was some sort of stipulation on open space land that it should never be changed to anything else. Mr. Carlberg stated the open space land use designation was put on any properties that were considered to never be developed. He noted there has been a resident who expressed concern with the proposed open space land use change and how the City can change the designation. He indicated there is a difference between the land use designation and properties that have been purchased with open space monies from the 2006 bond referendum. In this case, the property was not purchased with those funds and the designation can be changed because it is land use designation. Commissioner Gudmundson asked why they would put all of the golf course land into the MUSA sometime in the future. Mr. Carlberg stated if it does not count against their density requirements they have with the Met Council it is probably better to be put into the urban service area so the City does not have islands within the MUSA boundary. This would be a map clean up item. Commissioner Gudmundson asked if it was an error that this was labeled as open space and zoned R -4. Mr. Carlberg stated this area has been zoned R -4 since the late 1980's when the Woodland Creek Golf Course PUD was developed which included the course and the adjacent residential housing units. The Open Space land use designation was added in 2008. Commissioner Sims requested that an explanation for the difference between an open space designation and a zoning designation. He questioned whether a piece of land can have two different labels. Mr. Carlberg stated they could. He discussed the land use designation map and gave the definition of both types of land labels. Commissioner Sims indicated he was confused and wondered why a piece of land can have an open space designation and also be labeled R -4 Zoning. Mr. Carlberg stated there is no open space zoning designation but they have a land use designation that guides it. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —March 10, 2015 Page 3 Acting Chairperson Nemeth asked how many additional lots will be added. Mr. Carlberg stated there will be six. Commissioner Koehler stated there will also be a limited number of parking spaces in the development to provide access for people to access this open space area which was the former golf club. Mr. Carlberg indicated that was correct and indicated there would be four parking spaces and trail access to the open space. Commissioner Gudmundson asked if the resident who wrote the email lived in the vicinity. Mr. Carlberg stated she did not. Commissioner Sims asked if the intent of this would be open space for the public to use but is not covered the bond issue. Mr. Carlberg indicated that was correct. Commissioner Sims inquired whether in the future the land use could be changed. Mr. Carlberg stated it would not be because the City is working collaboratively with the Board of Water and Soil Resources on establishing a conservation easement over the property for the development of a wetland banking program which will restore the wetland areas that were filled when the golf course was developed. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Gudmundson, to open the public hearing at 7:22 p.m. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 3- absent (Daninger, Cleven, Peterson) vote. Mr. Ron Dombeck, 3272 143d Avenue NW, stated he wondered how much of a mess is the construction going to create for the residents because they all have to use the same drive off of South Coon Creek. He thought there will be mud brought in onto the roads which will make a mess for the people who live in the area. He wondered if there was some stipulation that the contractors are required to clean up after themselves. Mr. Carlberg stated the City does require the streets are cleaned and swept. The construction company will do a rip rap rock type entrance to the site and grading should occur on the property itself and they will not be bringing fill and dirt onto the site. He stated there will be heavy equipment and through the City's approval process they make sure the streets are clean and that the developer implements erosion control measures on the site. Commissioner Koehler stated in that area they can have a lot of dust blowing around so the contractor will water down the area at the end of the day to help alleviate that issue. Mr. Dombeck asked how large the lots will be. Mr. Carlberg stated there will be six homes with at least a half -acre in size. Commissioner Koehler stated one of the concerns the City had while reviewing the site plan was the value of the neighborhood and plans were reviewed and the homes look really nice and would benefit residents of the neighborhood. Acting Chairperson Nemeth submitted into the record an email received from Donna Aasness. Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —March 10, 2015 Page 4 Motion by Koehler, seconded by Gudmundson, to close the public hearing at 7:29 p.m. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 3- absent (Daninger, Cleven, Peterson) vote. Motion by Koehler, seconded by Gudmundson, to recommend to the City Council approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment — Tract A, RLS No. 262 — 3200 South Coon Creek Drive — Incorporate Property into MUSA and Change Land Use Designation from OS, Open Space to URL Urban Residential Low Density. Motion carried on a 4- ayes, 0 -nays, 3- absent (Daninger, Cleven, Peterson) vote. Community Development Director Carlberg stated that this item would be before the City Council at the March 17, 2015 meeting. OTHER B USINESS. a. Discuss Participation in Andover Family Fun Fest City Booth Community Development Director Carlberg stated the City gets a booth every year and traditionally the City Council attends and spends time in the booth. In recent years, the Open Space Commission and Park and Recreation Commission have started participating in the booth and giving out information. He thought this was a good resource booth for the different Commissions to spend time in and he wondered if the Planning and Zoning Commission would like to spend some time in the booth volunteering. He stated if interested the Commissioners could email him. Community Development Director Carlberg updated the Planning and Zoning Commission on related items. ADJOURNMENT.
