Sta*eT�ent or Policy. The City Council finds that <br /> the City is presently faced with the potential development or redevelop- <br /> ment of the several Lake Minnetonka islands, which potential has raised <br /> new concern for issues such as riparian rights, surface water boat <br /> der.sity, neighborhood density, public and private lake access, setbacks <br /> and har�cover. Of special concern is the provision of basic public <br /> services to the islands such as police, fire and medicaL aid, sanitation, <br /> and access safety at all times of the y�ar. The City ' s Comprehensive <br /> Plar. was updated in June, 1980 and has been approved by the Metropolitan <br /> Council, but zoning and subdivision regulations have not yet been amended <br /> to reflect the policies and provisions of the new plan. The City is in <br /> the midst of complete recodificatior. of all City ordinances, including <br /> cornplete rewriting of all zoning and subdivision regulations. The <br /> Council finds an overwhelming' probability that land use controls and <br /> zoning provisions will need to be updated and revised as they apply <br /> to the islar.�s . The Council also finds that such amending is a process <br /> that canr.ot be accomplished until numerous detailed studies have been <br /> �ompleted and hearings held . During this interim perio3, it is <br /> ciesirable that the Council establish guides for the benefit of those <br /> caho wish to develoo property in order to bring about savings in public <br /> and private expenditures and to provide to the public guides to future <br /> City action. <br /> The Council determines that there is an urgency involved because of the <br /> n�ed to control development during the interim period so that the <br /> benefits of proper planning will not be lost, to prevent development <br /> which may add to the public burden, and to preserve the status quo <br /> pending adoption of these measures so that the City will not be <br /> impaired in its ability to effPctuate the purposes and goals of these <br /> planning efforts . <br />
