� MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Tuesday,November 12,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (8. #13-3638 and 13-3639 SOURCE LAND CAPITAL,LLC(PAT HILLER) O/B/O GRANT <br /> WENKSTERN(LAKEVIEW GOLF), 405 NORTHARMDRIVE, COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> AMENDMENT AND SKETCH PLAN REVIEW, Continued) <br /> Staff is recommending approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendxnent and finds the following: <br /> 1. The existing land use designation no longer provides a viable use of land for a private property <br /> owner. <br /> 2 The land use designation, in this case,unreasonably restricts the owner's use of the land in an <br /> economically viable way. <br /> 3. The restriction to the current designation places an inordinate burden on the landowner to provide <br /> public open space. <br /> 4. The surrounding land uses are dominated by rural density residential uses, along with some urban <br /> residential uses. <br /> 5. The area is not within the MUSA, in which public sanitary sewer would be available for urban <br /> densities. <br /> 6. The area is within the northwest portion of the City, in which road uses and densities are <br /> designated. <br /> 7. The most appropriate use for the subject project is Rural Residential,reflecting the policies of the <br /> Comxnunity Management Plan and the existing zoning of the property. <br /> McMillan asked if the applicant can begin any work on the preliminary plat during this comment period <br /> for the Comprehensive Plan amendment. <br /> Grittman stated the applicant can proceed with work on the site but that they do so at their own risk. <br /> McMillan asked if there would be an opportunity to look at the preliminary plat at the same time as <br /> adoption of the amendment. <br /> Grittman indicated that is probably more local practice and that he would defer to Staff on that. Grittman <br /> noted the Council would not be able to take action on the plat until the Comprehensive Plan amendment <br /> is adopted. <br /> City Attorney Poehler indicated the Council could do it concurrently if they chose. <br /> Printup asked why this area was originally guided recreational and open space in the Comprehensive <br /> Plan. <br /> Page 13 of 36 <br />
