Mr. Kuennen stated that Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment and the rezoning, as presented in the July 31, 2009 planning report. Chair Davis opened the hearing to the public for comment. Joan Sudheimer, Helkenn family member and Trustee, 708 Old Beach Lane, Waconia, MN Ms. Sudheimer is requesting that the Helkenn property be considered for a high density residential use as a transition between the commercial development to the west and the low density residential to the east due to the natural buffers adjacent to the property. She stated that a senior housing use had considered developing on their property but the deal fell through for financing reasons. They would like to market the property for that type of use. Kreig Turner, 17490 Jonquil Avenue Planning Commission Meeting August 6, 2009 Page 4 Mr. Turner asked about a ghost plat that he thought was done for this study area years ago. 09.40 Motion was made and seconded to close the public hearing at 6:21 p.m. Ayes: Davis, Pattee, Grenz, Drotning, Glad, Adler, Lillehei. Nays: 0 Chair Davis asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion points were: Chair Davis asked staff about the ghost plat. Mr. Morey stated that a ghost plat was included with the Argonne Estates single family preliminary plat, located north of 175th Street, to show road and utility connections and to show how the adjacent property could develop. A ghost plat has not been prepared for the overall Argonne East Study Area. Regarding the statement about transitional zoning for the Helkenn property, Mr. Kuennen stated that the low density designation will give the City the most flexibility. He indicated that the Planning Commission reviewed conceptually a senior housing proposal for the Helkenn property at one of their work sessions last year but the project has not moved forward. At their June 22, 2009 work session, the City Council directed staff to prepare Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendments to reflect the results of the Argonne East Special Study. Commissioner Drotning referred to the concept plan that was attached to Mr. Gerk's written comments that were included with the July 31, 2009 planning report and indicated that this was just one possible way the property could be developed. Mr. Kuennen stated that this concept plan was not submitted as a formal sketch plan application so there was never a formal staff review of the plan. Commissioner Drotning reviewed the zoning history of the properties in the Argonne East Special Study and stated that the previous zoning changes had all been at the homeowners' request. Commissioner Glad asked if the Low Density Residential land use designation would put an undue burden on the marketing of the property to developers of higher density residential uses. Assistant City Attorney Poehler stated that marketing of the property is not part of the criteria for consideration of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendments and as such does not fall under the Planning Commission's purview. Commissioner Lillehei asked if property owners Faye and Lundquist have agreed with the proposed rezoning of their property. Mr. Kuennen 09.41 Motion was made and seconded to recommend to City Council approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment to re -guide approximately 5.75 acres from Commercial to Low Density Residential and a Zoning Map amendment to rezone the 5.75 acres from C -3, General Commercial District to RS -2, Single Family Residential District, as presented in the July 31, 2009 planning report. Ayes: Pattee, Grenz, Drotning, Glad, Adler, Lillehei, Davis. Nays: 0 There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:42 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ATTEST: Planning Commission Meeting August 6, 2009 Page 5 indicated that at the open house Ms. Faye agreed with the Low Density Residential land use designation and Mr. Lundquist said he would get back to staff but he never did.
