CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MARCH 7, 2001 VFW MUSA DISCUSSION, JEFF SMYSER City Planner Smyser advised the VFW received approval to build an expansion in 1999. The problem is they are outside of the MUSA. One condition of approval was that the MUSA issue had to be settled. One option was for the VFW to swap MUSA acreage with the other land they own. They have submitted an application to subdivide the parcel to sell a portion of it. The VFW can't build the new building until the sale of their land is complete. The value of the property is much lower if MUSA is swapped to the new site. The VFW had decided to wait until the Comprehensive Plan is approved to request additional MUSA. The MUSA current bank cannot be used for commercial property. City Planner Smyser advised the Council can approve the minor subdivision as presented. A letter will be sent to the VFW indicating they cannot build until the Comprehensive Plan is approved and MUSA is extended to that site.
