• • COUNCIL MINUTES April 27, 1998 favorably upon the request. Staff believes this additional MUSA designation would come directly from the Metropolitan Council and not be taken from the existing Interim MUSA Reserve. It appears as if it would be in the best interest of both the applicant and the City to have this facility connected to City utilities, therefore, Staff is recommending approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Ms. Wyland advised that the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on April 8, 1998, to review this item and recommended approval. Council Member Bergeson asked if the 54 acres was all one parcel. Ms. Wyland stated that it would be connected to the two parcels that Molin uses, and would be based on allocation of use. Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 61, as presented. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution 98 - 61 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 62, MUSA Designation for James and Tracy Douglas (4/5th vote) - Ms. Wyland explained that Mr. and Mrs. Douglas own approximately seven (7) acres on the north side of Lilac Street, just west of the proposed Apollo Drive extension. Their current septic system is failing and City sewer is in front of their property at Lilac and Apollo Drive. The Douglas' would like to connect their existing home to City sewer. Ms. Wyland continued stating that the property is currently zoned Rural and is outside the MUSA boundary. The site is indicated as single family residential on the City's current Land Use Plan. The proposed Land Use Plan for the area indicated this site as General Commercial and Light Industrial. Construction of a new on-site system in this location when City sewer is available does not seem reasonable. Ms. Wyland indicated that Staff has reviewed this request and would recommend the addition of this area to the MUSA to facilitate the connection of the existing single family home. Staff has discussed the proposed MUSA Amendment with the Metropolitan Council and have been encouraged to proceed with the Amendment on an emergency basis. This Amendment would serve only the existing homestead. Ms. Wyland advised that the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on April 8, 1998, and recommended approval of this request. • Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 62. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
