The Manager presents a propose ra t of Ordinance No. 145 which was intended to implement the actions taken by the Council at the close of the October 27th hearing or. the Planned Study District reclassifications. r Council Minutes rJovember 10, 1970 Page 4 Mr. Preston Haglin and Mr. Herb Mason owners of property in Area 7 which the Council at its meeting on October 27th had classified as rural appeared and presented their requests that the property be insteau zoned R Planned Study District. Mr. H again indicated that neither he nor the other owners with whom he was associated were committed to any particular use or development pattern for their properties, but that they did feel that tnere was enough uncertainity about the proposed Highway 212 design to justify classification of the property as Planned Study District. Fie directed the Council 's attention to the Minnesota Highway Departments Corridor report on Highway 212 noting that the report suggested that an interchange be located about raidway between County Road 4 and Lake Riley, which interchange would be situated within their property and would " provide access to the areas both north and south of the Railroad. He said they felt that the possibility of such an interchange could have an substantial affect on appropriate development and land use planning and that until such time as the interchange consideration was settled there would be great uncertainity about the highway's impact on their property. The Village flanager said that fie would concur that the interchange possibility M did create uncertainity about the future of some of the properties north of I '1 the railroad and recommended that parcel description No. 20-12 in Section 20, i t description No. 19-1 in Section 19, description 18-2 and 18-3 in Section 18, and description No. 17-5 in Section 17 be classified as Planned Study District. He recommended that the remaining parcels in the area north of the railroad be kept in the Rural classification in that their future development was not directly affected by the highway or the highway interchange. Mayor Osterholt commented that he would hope that the Village would be in a position to reclassify all of the Planned Study Districts into other classifications within the relatively near future. Mr. Haugen .added that in the event that some of the areas north of the railroad were to once again be reclassified as Planned Study that this action should not be interperted as in any way expressing the Council 's approval of the manufacturing zoning that once existed on some of these properties. Mr. Lieb indicated that the uncertaininty about the interchange would satisfy the requirement for the establishment of a Planned Study District and that such action would be consistant with actions taken on other properties near existing or proposed highway areas. Mr. Haugen moved that the first reading of Ordinance. No. 145 be adopted subject to the inclusion of Parcel description numbers 17-5,18-2,19-1 and 20-12, in the Planned Study District.
