City of Elk River Property/Hwy. 169 and 193rd Page 3 August 22, 1995 The plat also includes dedicating the right-of-way for the recently realigned IIIHolt Avenue, as well as a portion of Jackson Avenue. The plat also includes the appropriate easements for existing utility lines and drainage and utility purposes. As mentioned above the new parcel is three acres in area which meets the minimum lot size of one acre in the C3 zoning district. The purpose in platting the property at this time is to establish a legal description of a lot and block, clarifying any title problems that may exist, and put the property in a marketable condition for a possible end user. Recommendation It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the following: A. Amending the land use plan from MR (Medium Density Residential) to HB (Highway Commercial), and, B. Rezoning from Ric (Single Family Residential) to C3 (Highway Commercial) based on the following findings: • 1. The times and conditions have changed to warrant the new zoning and land use designation to allow for commercial development at the intersection of Highway 169 and 193rd. 2. The rezoning and land use plan amendment will be consistent with the recommendations from the Steering Committee to extend commercial development north along Highway 169 to 194th alignment. 3. The rezoning and land use plan amendment will be a logical and continuous extension of the existing commercial along Highway 169. 4. The land use amendment and rezoning to commercial can be supported by the availability of water and sewer to the south and the existing transportation system. 5. The rezoning and land use plan amendment for the three acre parcel will not enable an intense commercial development that may be detrimental to the surrounding residential area. C. Preliminary plat to plat approximately 3 acres into one commercial lot with the following conditions: • s:planning:p c:lua95-6
