Planning Commission Page 6 <br /> August 24,2021 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> entities such as bordering municipalities,MnDOT, and Sherburne County. It was the <br /> consensus of the commission to add this explanation. <br /> Commissioner Booth commented that he felt infill while an appealing option would <br /> be difficult to accomplish. He stated he personally liked having the opportunity to <br /> move out to this area due to affordability and not having this type of infill. <br /> Commissioner Johnson noted that in his years of reviewing applications before the <br /> Planning Commission,he found that some older lots in high density areas in the city <br /> needed a greater flexibility of options when looking to update or improve a property, <br /> and he also noted the current market also drives what people want to buy. <br /> Chair Larson-Vito asked if the plan allowed the commission to choose which <br /> districts infill would be applicable to and maintain the oveht of it. <br /> Mr. Carlton stated the changes to this plan would require a serious review of the <br /> residential zoning districts and what neighborhoods would have these options to <br /> work towards providing a range of opportunities. He stated the zoning ordinances <br /> and map would be updated where necessary. <br /> Mr. Nolin noted on page 43—Accessory Dwelling Units—provides some guidance <br /> in the plan on how to apply it's up to the _ arming Commission to review <br /> and input. <br /> Chair Larson-Vito asked if the commission wanted to comment on the Urban <br /> Service Expansion areas. <br /> Commissioner Johnson stated the CPAC had extensive discussions on this, and this <br /> expansion would be natural but getting services to the north needs to be planned and <br /> studied. He stated the priority is when some areas have failures such as community <br /> se tic s stems and the city addresses those when they come up. <br /> 'r. Carlton clarified the city isn't going to come into those proposed areas and add <br /> ;city sewer and water without first talking to the affected neighborhoods about the <br /> possibility of expansion of city services. This plan provides an over-arching policy <br /> that proposed future expansion may occur as well as looks at what's adjacent to these <br /> proposed areas and what is logical. He noted the need to also evaluate the potential <br /> impact of the urban service expansion areas on the wastewater services and recognize <br /> the important link between community growth and the capacity to handle <br /> wastewater. <br /> The commission then discuss Chapter 5—Economic Development. Commissioner <br /> Rydberg expressed his concerns with the development of"third-place" and oudot <br /> development and didn't feel it was fair for developers to have an additional cost to <br /> support this concept and the city telling them they should provide these amenities. <br /> Commissioner Johnson disagreed and stated the developers aren't going to spend <br /> additional dollars on this unless they are provided a framework to follow like other <br /> it-401 <br /> wEeEUo0 IYAR' <br />
