findings of fact:
A. The legal description of the property is attached as Exhibit A.
B. The property lies within the West Sanitary Sewer Service District and is guided for low
density residential land uses by the Otsego Comprehensive Plan, as amended.
C. The property is zoned A-1, Agriculture Rural Service District. The applicant has requested a
rezoning to R-4, Residential Urban Single Family District for development of single family
residential lots. The R-4 District allows for single family uses as a permitted use.
D. The Planning Commission and City Council are to evaluate the application based upon (but
not limited to) the criteria outlined in Section 20-3-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance:
The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the
official City Comprehensive Plan.
Finding: The subject site is guided by the Comprehensive Plan for low density
residential uses. Low density residential use is defined as having less than four units
per gross acre and generally consisting of single family housing. The proposed
development is all single family housing on lots larger than 12,000 square feet with a
density of 2.0 units per acre. The proposed preliminary plat adds to the available
single family lots within the west sanitary sewer service district balancing the housing
supply.

of the west sanitary sewer service district, have not been determined.
3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the
Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Finding: The proposed preliminary plat will be required to meet all applicable
performance standards.
4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed.
Finding: The proposed preliminary plat is a logical extension of urban development
utilizing infrastructure being installed as part of the Martin Farms and Zimmer Farms
developments.
5. The proposed use's impact upon property values of the area in which it is proposed.
Finding: Although no study has been completed, the proposed use is not anticipated
to negatively impact area property values.
6. Traffic generation by the proposed use in relation to the capabilities of streets serving
the property.
Finding: The proposed preliminary plat will have access to an upgraded Maclver
Avenue, which will be the primary collector street for development in the west sanitary
sewer service district.
7. The proposed use's impact upon existing public services and facilities including
parks, schools, streets, and utilities and its potential to overburden the City's service
capacity.
Finding: The proposed use is anticipated to provide for more full utilization of planned
infrastructure improvements being installed as part of the Martin Farms and Zimmer
Farms developments.
E. The planning report dated 26 August 2003 prepared by the City Planner, Northwest
Associated Consultants, Inc., is incorporated herein.
F. The engineering review dated 26 August 2003 prepared by the City Engineer, Hakanson
