COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 28, 1996 sits on the Marvy Street side of the property, which is not currently within the MUSA boundary. The property owner is interested in connecting to the municipal utilities currently available on Apollo Drive through his back yard. The City Engineer is considering the extension of utilities from Apollo Drive to Marvy Street. He will be reviewing this proposal with the property owners in the near future. Ms. Wyland added that the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on Wednesday, October 9, 1996 to review these two MUSA requests, and recommended approval of a Minor Comprehensive Plan Amendment to include the following properties within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary: Total "new" MUSA acreage on Marvy Street - .92 acres 74 Marvy Street, Lot 1, Block 12, Sunset Oaks Total "new" MUSA acreage on Lilac - 16.2 acres: 307 Lilac Street, Parcel No. 07-31-22-44-0007 315 Lilac Street, Parcel No. 07-31-22-44-0008 323 Lilac Street, Parcel No. 07-31-22-44-0004 339 Lilac Street, Parcel No. 07-31-22-44-0013 347 Lilac Street, Parcel No. 07-31-22-44-0020 Parcel No. 07-31-22-44-0018 Parcel No. 07-31-22-44-0016 Ms. Wyland pointed out that this designation in no way effects the 150 acres of MUSA reserve. Council Member Bergeson asked if including one property on Marvy Street and then a number on Lilac would appear to be "soliciting emergencies". Ms. Wyland indicated that the Lilac property should be considered at this time and perhaps the Marvy Street property should be held for later determination. She added that two separate applications will be prepared, one for the Lilac Street properties and the other for the Marvy Street property. They can be submitted at separate times. Mr. Wessel stated that each emergency would be considered on its own merit in any case, and that handling all of these properties at the same time shouldn't make any difference. Mayor Landers asked at what point the Marvy Street residents would be contacted with respect to connecting, since there are other possibilities for poor septic system situations. Mr. Ahrens indicated that communications soliciting need/interest would be necessary right away. He also agreed that the applications should be processed separately. Council Member Bergeson suggested two separate motions. Mr. Ahrens explained that future plans and considerations are taken under advisement as projects are proposed. Council Member Bergeson moved to approve a MUSA amendment for the properties between the Behm's Century Farm development and 4th Avenue, fronting on Lilac Street. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Kuether moved to approve a MUSA amendment for the Marvy Street property. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. R
