WHEREAS, the City Council makes and adopts the following
findings of fact with respect to the Application and proposed
proj ect :
1. The proposed project does not preserve the natural and
scenic qualities of the subject areas.
2. The proposed project does not limit development to a
scale appropriate to the existing terrain and surrounding
land use.
3. The proposed project does not result in an effective and
unified treatment of the development possibilities on the
project site.
4. The proposed proj ect does not harmonize with existing and
proposed developments in the areas surrounding the site.
5. The proposed project has the potential to depreciate
surrounding property values.
6. The proposed project uses private streets of
inappropriate widths; the City's policies encourage,
wherever possible, dedication of public streets and
roadways.
7. The proposed off street parking fails to comply with
Section 12.5 Subd. 2 of the Mendota Heights Zoning
Ordinances.
8. The Applicant does not now have a final development plan
for Outlot A of the proposed project, which is intended
for use as a day care center.
9. While the City's Comprehensive Plan was changed in 1985
to designate this property for HR-PUD, a number of
substantial changes have taken place in the southeast
area of the City since that time which may render such
designation inappropriate.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, that Applicant's motion
to rezone the Property to HR-PUD zoning classification is denied.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this 5th
day of Ma.y, 1992.
