1. REVIEW/ACTION – AMENDMENT TO VILLAGE OF DEERFIELD URBAN SERVICE AREA FOR THE LAND WEST OF THE VILLAGE AND NORTH & SOUTH OF LIBERTY STREET ALSO KNOWN AS THE NELSON FARM INCLUDING PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RESOLUTION #R2007-04 “A RESOLUTION INDICATING THAT PENDING URBAN SERVICE AREA APPLICATION IS CONSISTENT WITH VILLAGE’S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN CONCEPT”- OTTE
Evensen asked Attorney Anderson to explain what Urban Service Area is and how it is amended. Attorney Anderson explained what Urban Service Area is and the amendment process. The Board & Commission then reviewed the application for the Urban Service Area amendment for the Nelson Farm. After review, it was determined that the Village’s Comprehensive Plan would need to be amended to include additional lands west of the Village so that all of the Nelson Farm was included in the plan. Discussion then held on how and where the remaining acreage should be allocated and if it should be included in the amendment. After discussion, the Board & Commission felt that the remaining acreage should be allocated to the Business land south of the present Village corporate limits on the west side of Hwy 73 and some to the Storlie lands on the north side of the Village. Evensen then asked if the Board and Commission had any objection to the proposed amendment. There were no objections.
Motion by Evensen, second by Bastian that the Planning Commission is in favor of the Urban Service amendment for all of the Nelson Farm after the Comprehensive Plan is amended, all of the area requested will be included in the Urban Service Area Amendment request. Motion carried.
