“I wasn’t here for the 2020 or 2030 Comprehensive Plan,” Grey Cloud Trial resident Adam Grams said at the December 1 Council meeting at which the city approved a Master Site Plan for the property known as Mississippi Dunes. “My question is, how do you go from R-1, to this?”

It would seem there’s an ordinance involved in the process, though this wasn’t the answer Mr. Grams received on December 1. The answer Grams received then had to do with market viability and the nature of R-1 zoning requirements, which involved individual septic systems for each property and were comparatively cumbersome.

At any rate and pending approval this March 16 by the Council, the former Mississippi Dunes Golf Course will be officially rezoned, pursuant to a proposed ordinance posted on the City’s website, number 1053.

Amending the Official Zoning Map for the City of Cottage Grove, Ordinance No. 1053 begins withy plat boundaries and parcel description, ending with the rezoning 228.09 acres of land as described in the ordinance, to align with the City’s zoning map. Rather than keep you waiting, however, or draw things out, we publish the ordinance below, with City Council meetings generally held Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

We lay it before you here, in the case it happens to be of interest to you. Once March 16 rolls past, it won’t be news, or else new.
