The property is served by municipal sewer and water. <br /> 5. The property abuts U.S. Highway 12 as well as Outlot D, Sugar Woods, a <br /> segment of a proposed future frontage road comdor platted within Sugar Woods. <br /> 6. In 1987 the City adopted Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2 which planned <br /> for the future development of a frontage road between Brown Road and Willow <br /> Drive, paralleling Highway 12. In 1987 it was anticipated that traffic on <br /> Highway 12 would continue to increase as a result of the upcoming completion <br /> . � of Interstate Highway 394.

The plat of Sugar Woods, completed in July 1989, included two commercially � <br /> � zoned parcels (Outlots E and F) abutting Highway 12. These two parcels were <br /> platted as outlots, rather than as buildable lots, because the Applicant at that time <br /> wished to delay decisions regazding future access to the commercial property <br /> ' � until such time that it was developed. <br /> � 8. The Sugaz Woods plat conformed to the comprehensive plan by c"reating Outlot <br /> , D, a short segment of the proposed future east/west frontage road.
