2018 Comprehensive Plan Discussion
Mr. Licht presented his April 12, 2018 planning report, outlining the 2018
Comprehensive Plan process and the comments that have been received from property
owners on the draft 2040 Land Use and MUSA maps. The following comments were
made by property owners/property owner representatives at tonight’s meeting:
District 1
Lee Fransdal, 16415 Klamath Trail: Requested that his entire 11.5 acre property be
brought into the MUSA. Staff responded that all of the Orchard Gardens area is
currently guided rural density residential and should be considered as a whole for both
land use and MUSA. Historically, including the 2018 Comprehensive Plan public input
process, property owners in this area have expressed a strong desire to keep their area
guided for rural land use. The Planning Commission concurred with staff’s
recommendation on the Fransdal and Jackson properties.
Mark Lambert, owner of Connelly MHP: Requested that the Connelly MHP property
remain guided Commercial to allow maximum flexibility in the future if the property is
ever redeveloped. The Planning Commission concurred with Mr. Lambert’s request and
staff’s recommendation to keep the Connelly MHP property guided commercial.
District 2
The Planning Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation for low density
residential on the Gerk/Echavarria properties that guiding the site for High Density
Residential would not be consistent with the overall concept of how the City has
developed the land use plan and would not be compatible with the Low Density
Residential uses guided to surround the properties.

District 3
Ben Olson, 17600 Pilot Knob Road: Requested his property be guided Medium Density
Residential. The Planning Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation to guide
Mr. Olson’s property and the portion of the Smith property to the north located north and
west of the DNR tributaries for Medium Density Residential.
District 4
The Planning Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation to keep the Warweg
and Friedges properties guided as they currently are on the 2030 Land Use Plan.
Michael Sobota, representing St. John’s Lutheran Church: Requested High Density
Residential for the undeveloped church outlot because the church does not need the
outlot for future expansion and because the church envisions a senior housing use on
the property similar to Highview Hills to the south. The Planning Commission concurred
with City staff’s recommendation to accept the request from St. John’s Lutheran Church
to guide the outlot for High Density Residential.
District 5
Bart Winkler, 19099 Orchard Trail: Requested that his property be included in the
current MUSA because it can be served by the lift station he constructed on the
northwest side of Dodd Boulevard with the development of Rose Creek. He also
requested the property be guided for Office/Residential Transition, because he has a
medical office use that would like to locate on his property as it abuts King Park. In
addition, he does not feel that his property is viable for a single family use due to the
ballfield lights at King Park. The Planning Commission stated the land use designation
request was the primary consideration over the sanitary sewer serviceability request.
The Planning Commission agreed with the City’s long-standing philosophy of
concentrating retail, service, and office uses at commercial nodes adjacent to major
transportation corridors dispersed throughout the city. The Planning Commission
believed that designating the property for Office/Residential Transition would be a spot
designation not compatible with the land uses guided for surrounding properties. The
Planning Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation to guide the Winkler
property for Low Density Residential and to include it in MUSA Expansion Area A
because it will be served by gravity sanitary sewer from the east in Avonlea.
The Planning Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation for Low Density
Residential uses guided on the Flickinger property.
District 6
The Planning Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation for Office/Residential
Transition guided on the JLG Investments LLC property.
The Planning Commission concurred with the Ruddle/Fleugel property owner request to
guide the portion of the property located south of the DNR tributary for Warehouse/Light
Industrial uses.

th
Bob Powell, 11774 – 205 Street: Asked when sanitary sewer would be available to
serve their property. Staff responded that gravity sanitary sewer would come from the
Lakeville Land Ltd. property to the south. The Planning Commission concurred with
staff’s recommendation to guide the north portion of the Powell property for
Medium/High Density Residential use and to include the entire Powell property in the
current MUSA.
District 7
Alan Dale, Dale Properties: Requested the land uses designation boundaries be
consistent with the revised concept plan that was submitted to staff and the Planning
Commission today so a Comprehensive Plan amendment will not be required when he
submits applications for the development of his property. Mr. Morey stated it is staff’s
opinion that the revised concept plan follows the draft 2040 Land Use Plan closely
enough that a formal Comprehensive Plan amendment would not be required at the
time development applications are submitted, as the land use designation lines do not
follow specific property lines. In addition, the portion of the Dale property located north
of the proposed high density land use on the revised concept plan is largely
undevelopable for environmental reasons. The Planning Commission concurred with
staff’s recommendation. Mr. Dale stated that he accepts the recommendation on the
basis that a Comprehensive Plan amendment would not be required at the time a
development application is considered.
Brent Carron and Kirsten Pauley, Sunde Engineering, representing Rich and Karen
Carron: Requested that the entire Carron property be designated current MUSA. The
Planning Commission recommended the portion of the two Carron properties that can
be served by the sanitary sewer line from the Dale property be designated current
MUSA and the remainder be designated MUSA Expansion Area B and Urban Reserve
as proposed on the draft 2040 MUSA Staging Plan.
The Planning Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation on the Sauber
property for low density residential and current MUSA.
th
Scott and Nanci Stoddard, 12240 – 185 Street: Requested their property remain
guided for Rural Density Residential because they currently have horses and are
considering developing a commercial riding stable on their property. Mr. Morey stated
th
that the Haley and Stoddard properties, and the properties to the west adjacent to 185
Street to Judicial Road, should be guided the same. Mr. Licht stated that staff
recommends these five properties be guided Low/Medium Density residential and be
th
included in MUSA Expansion Area B due to their proximity to 185 Street and trunk
sanitary sewer. He further stated that these properties would be covered by the RAO,
Rural/Agricultural Overlay District because of the MUSA Expansion Area B designation.
Commercial riding stables are allowed by interim use permit in the RAO District. The
Planning Commission concurred with staff’s recommendation on the Haley and
Stoddard properties for Low/Medium Density residential and MUSA Expansion Area B.
