STAFF ORIGINATOR: CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: TOPIC: AGENDA ITEM 7E Michael Grochala May 27, 2003 Consideration of Resolution No. 03 -76 Approving Comprehensive Plan Amendment - MUSA Land Use Change Stage Growth Area Change Elm Street Reconstruction Project VOTE REQUIRED: 4/5 BACKGROUND The City is preparing to move forward with the reconstruction of EIm Street from Grey Heron Drive to its intersection with Sunset "Avenue. As part of the project the City is proposing to extend sanitary sewer and water main to currently unserviced portions of the project and to provide services to properties were utility mains are currently located. The City has previously completed the special assessment procedural requirements in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, and the City Charter. However, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is required to allow services to be provided to several of the properties located adjacent to the improvements. ANALYSIS Existing Land Use The EIm Street corridor consists primarily of sewered and unsewered single family residential properties. St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Willow Ponds townhome complex, and Centennial Middle School are also located adjacent to the project area. The corridor is entirely developed with the exception of 5 to 7 properties that could subdivide off one single family lot if sanitary sewer is available. The majority of properties within the amendment area are under one acre in size. All of the properties are currently serviced by on -site wells and septic systems.
