municipal services and facilities are available to serve the area. The site is
located in the 2035-2040 stage of the CnmnrPh=nq1vPPlan 2040 Staging Plan
map, but the area is subject to a Metropolitan Council study which is not
expected to be completed until the next Comprehensive Plan update. The
property does not have access to municipal sewer and water services which
restricts the ability to develop the site and this condition will not change if the
proposed development is approved. This development does not require sewer or
water services. The constraints to conform with a connection to municipal sewer

the parcels of land for which the variance is sought and were not created by the
landowners. The property does not have access to municipal water and sewer
services which restricts the ability to develop the site and this condition will not
change with an approved development.
c. That the granting of the variation will not alter the essential character of the
locality. The granting of the variation will not alter the essential character of the
locality. Allowing redevelopment of the site to Light Industrial from Low Density
Residential is consistent with the future land use projected for the site. The
surrounding residential properties will remain essentially unchanged.
