MUSA would be available to an unsewered residential subdivision only if the Comprehensive Plan amendment and a utility improvement is petitioned for by the majority of the property owners that may benefit from the utility improvement and approved by the City. City of Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan, pages 82 -83 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. The total did not include growth resulting from converting existing low density unsewered residential areas to sewered areas. And, as noted above, the comprehensive plan clearly states that MUSA would be available to an unsewered residential subdivision only if the comprehensive plan is amended. The City is not using existing MUSA reserve to accommodate the Elm Street project. We are processing a comp plan amendment that includes a new MUSA request for that neighborhood. Therefore, staff is recommending that the comp plan amendment for Haley Manor include a request for a land use category change (unsewered to sewered), an additional 6.2 acres of MUSA, and to include the site in the Stage 1 growth area. The MUSA allocation would be approved with the preliminary plat and granted with the final plat. Growth Management, Units/Year: The table below show the status of the staging plans for final platting new residential units. The ten new units would fit within the policy of 147 per year and so could be final platted in 2003 — provided MUSA is made available for the project. The project also would fit in the 2004 lot allowance.
