The Otsego City Council took up this issue on August 8, 2005. Both the planning commission and the City Council was very supportive of our request and PItook the following actions. A) Approve a rezoning of the subject site from R-3, Residential-Long Range • I Urban Service District to INS, Institutional District based on a finding that the proposed use is an allowed use by Conditional Use Permit in the INS District. IB) Approve a CUP allowing an electrical substation expansion at the intersection of Packard Avenue NE and County Road 39, subject to the Ifollowing conditions: 1. Proposed plans must be revised to show the expansion structures Icompliance with all applicable setbacks. 2. Distribution power lines running from the substation east through I to the Mississippi Shores 6`11, 7111 and 8`1' additions must be placed underground within twelve months of recording of the CUP. I 3. Applicant must submit a landscape plan depicting adequate screening of the site from adjacent residential properties, subject to City staff approval. I 4.
