City Appeals Carriage Hills Ruling

EAGAN, MN-In response to District Judge Patrice Sutherland's support of a golf course owners' attempt to develop a 480-unit housing project, the Eagan City Council lashes back saying the ruling usurps its planning authority.

EAGAN, MN-The City of Eagan recently appealed a judge’s order that would force the city to change its comprehensive guide plan and allow a 480-unit housing development on the 40-year-old Carriage Hills Golf Course, located off Yankee Doodle Road on Wescott Woodlands Drive.

The council added that it wants to protect the integrity of the city’s comprehensive guide plan and “all the years of careful thought, public participation and work that went into it.”

In April, District Judge Patrice Sutherland ordered the city to either amend its comprehensive plan and the property’s zoning or begin eminent domain proceedings to buy the 120-acre course that has been closed for the season. The city is appealing that order.
