Res 1987 - 24 Expressing Intent to Consider Amendment of the Comprehensive Land Use PlanCITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 87- 24
RESOLUTION EXPRESSING INTENT TO CONSIDER AMENDMENT OF
THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN
WHEREAS, the City's existing Comprehensive Land Use
Plan, including the Southeast Area amendment passed in
October, 1985, designates an approximate 32 acre parcel
(indicated on the attached map) known as the School Forest
site for future development as a community athletic facility;
and
WHEREAS, based on the recently completed Parks study, it
has been determined that a preferable and much more cost
effective alternative is joint development of an athletic
facility on the Henry Sibley High School campus, done in
conjunction with Independent School District No. 197; and
WHEREAS, the City will be holding a parks bond
referendum on April 21, 1987, with a portion of the proceeds
therefrom to be used for the Henry Sibley site development;
and
WHEREAS, if the referendum is approved on April 21st,
and the City and School District proceed with the Henry
Sibley development, there will be no need in the forseeable
future to develop the athletic facility on the School Forest
site.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Mendota Heights that, by this resolution, the Council
expresses its intent that, if the referendum passes and the
Henry Sibley development proceeds, the Council will
immediately initiate a Comprehensive Plan amendment to re-
designate the School Forest site for Low -Density (i.e.,
single family) Residential use or School use.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights
this 3rd day of March, 1987.
