2 <br /> <br />consistent with the local water management plan, capital improvement plans and growth <br />management policies. <br /> <br />(b) Consistency with infill policies. A proposed urban subdivision shall meet the city's infill <br />policies: <br />1. The urban subdivision must be located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area <br />(MUSA) or the staged growth area as established by the city's Comprehensive Plan; <br />2. The cost of utilities and street extensions must be covered by one or more of the <br />following: <br /> a. An immediate assessment to the proposed subdivision; <br />b. One hundred percent of the street and utility costs are privately financed by the <br />developer; <br />c. The cost of regional and/or oversized trunk utility lines can be financed with available <br />city trunk funds; and <br />d. The cost and timing of the expenditure of city funds are consistent with the city's <br />capital improvement plan. <br />3. The cost, operation and maintenance of the utility system are consistent with the normal <br />costs as projected by the water and sewer rate study; and <br />4. The developer payments will offset additional costs of utility installation or future <br />operation and maintenance. <br /> <br />Lake Amelia Woods is a four (4) lot rural subdivision with private wells and septic systems. Per <br />the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the subject site is guided urban reserve and the land is preserved <br />for post-2040 development. Land use prior to 2040 is limited to agricultural related uses and <br />single family residential limited to 1 unit per 10 acres. The proposed development of 1 unit per <br />10 acres is consistent with the comprehensive plan’s infill policies. <br /> <br />(c) Roads or highways to serve the subdivision. A proposed subdivision shall meet the <br />following requirements for level of service (LOS), as defined by the Highway Capacity <br />Manual: <br />1. If the existing level of service (LOS) outside of the proposed subdivision is A or B, <br />traffic generated by a proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service more than <br />one grade; <br />2. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is C, traffic generated by a <br />proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below C; <br />3. If the existing LOS outside of the proposed subdivision is D, traffic generated by a <br />proposed subdivision will not degrade the level of service below D; <br />4. The existing LOS must be D or better for all streets and intersections providing access <br />to the subdivision. If the existing level of service is E or F, the subdivision developer must <br />provide, as part of the proposed project, improvements needed to ensure a level of service <br />D or better; <br />5. Existing roads and intersections providing access to the subdivision must have the <br />structural capacity to accommodate projected traffic from the proposed subdivision or the <br />developer will pay to correct any structural deficiencies; <br />6. The traffic generated from a proposed subdivision shall not require city street <br />improvements that are inconsistent with the Lino Lakes capital improvement plan. <br />However, the city may, at its discretion, consider developer-financed improvements to <br />correct any street deficiencies;
