for some flexibility in the use of the MUSA reserve. The following parameters were used as guidelines for identifying the future urban expansion limits and will also serve to guide the distribution of the MUSA land reserve in a manner that promotes staged, orderly growth while maximizing the use of the MUSA allocation and infrastructure. 1. The property is contiguous to the existing MUSA and provides a logical extension of utilities in an orderly growth pattern. 2. Utility improvements respond to environmental, health, safety, and general welfare concerns. 3. The potential sewer discharge of the project is within limitations assigned to the City of Lino Lakes by regional agencies. 4. The developer/benefitting property owners assume the significant majority of improvement/service costs, and agree to pay assessments associated with extending service to serve their property. 5. The proposed MUSA expansion or trade is consistent with the City's infill policy which encourages urban development to locate wherever possible in areas where public investments have already been provided. 6. In considering land trades, the City should not exchange developable commercial or industrial zoned land for a proposed residential development unless fiscal impact concerns are fully addressed. 7. The developer acknowledges and holds all governmental units harmless should limitations on sewer hookups and/or MUSA land bank reserve be imposed. 8. The land does not qualify as a premature development or subdivision based on the following: a. Lack of adequate storm water drainage capacity. b. Lack of adequate or safe water supply. c. Lack of adequate roads or highways to serve the subdivision or development. d. Lack of adequate or safe sewage disposal. e. Inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. f. Lack of adequate public support facilities (i.e., schools, parks and recreation, fire and police, etc.). g Inconsistent with environmental protection policies. 22
