t • • • PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MEETING March 8, 1989 process of platting their land now (Elmer Crohn) or who would like to start (Ed Vaughn). 3. There are landowners within the MUSA who have indicated they are not interested in city utilities at this time, yet they are using part of the city's MUSA allocation. 4. I'm aware of only a very small number of people who still advocate development of 2 1/2 or ten acre lots. Almost everyone who has considered the consequences of these large lots has decided they poorly serve the interest of both the landowners and the city. 5. Residential development in the form of new subdivisions in the Birch Street area is presently nil. There is no additional capacity remaining in the eight inch Birch Street force -main. There are three non -MUSA areas where individuals have indicated they would like utilities extended. 1. East on Birch Street in the ED Vaughn area. 2. South of Cedar Street and east of I -35E in the Miller, Polmen, McCollar area. 3. North of Main Street in the Crohn, Scharpen, Lino Lakes Elementary School area. The Planner stressed that there should be some words of caution also. Just because someone states he or she wants to be in the MUSA boundary and wants city utilities, there is no reason to act like crazy people and rush to change boundaries. Financial guarantees should be made prior to city action. Mr. Miller plans on holding several meetings to try and extend sewer to some of these areas. after some discussion with the board a motion was made. MOTION: Mr. Chase moved to direct city staff to start talking to people within the city, and try to extend our MUSA boundaries, and report back to city officials. Mr. Irwin seconded the motion, and the motion was approved unanimously. Harold Bisel stated that we should talk with the other boards and approach the Metro Council with a revision.
