R -1 West regional park reserve Public /Semi- Public PSP Growth Management: MUSA Reserve: The comprehensive plan and the growth management policy establish a specific number of MUSA acres for residential growth for stage one (prior to year 2010). The MUSA reserve was calculated based on a specified amount of growth in specified areas. That estimate did not anticipate growth resulting from creating new lots on existing sewered property. The Growth Management policy designates 36 acres of MUSA reserve for residential development each year. The City Council has the flexibility to exceed the limit by 20% (7.2 acres) in a year without amending the comprehensive plan. The residential MUSA reserve for 2003 has been allocated. There are 3.7 acres remaining for 2004. The table at the end of this report lists the residential MUSA reserve status. The site is guided and zoned for sewered residential uses, and it is in a Stage 1 (pre -2010) area. The Justin's Preserve site includes approximately 4.4 acres of upland. Both existing homes are connected to the municipal sanitary sewer and water. However, neither is in the MUSA. The City allocates MUSA reserve based on the upland area of a site. The Justin's Preserve plat upland area is as follows: Though the upland of 4.4 acres is greater than the 3.7 acres remaining for 2004, the property is such that there cannot be additional lots created. The extra upland (0.7± acre) is isolated behind house sites and wetlands, with no access or road frontage to it. The 3.7 acres of MUSA reserve will be sufficient to include the house sites. gross area (acres) upland area (acres) Lot 1 3.6 2.1 Lot 2 8.4 1.5 Lot 3 2.3 0.8 total 14.3 4.4 Though the upland of 4.4 acres is greater than the 3.7 acres remaining for 2004, the property is such that there cannot be additional lots created.
