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.

Centennial Middle School (PSP, Public and Semi - Public). The minimum lot size

2001 Comprehensive Plan
The 2001 Comprehensive Plan guides this area for low density sewered and
unsewered residential, medium density residential, and Public /Semi - public land
uses. These designations conform to the existing development that has
occurred. The majority of the project area lies within the Stage 1 Growth Area
(1998 -2010) and within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA).
Impact on Land Use
A total of 26 existing residential properties are contained within the plan
amendment area. The amendment changes area as follows:
1) 18 properties require a land use designation change from low density,
unsewered residential to low density, sewered residential.
2) 5 properties require a land use designation change from low density,
unsewered residential to low density, sewered residential, a change to the
Stage 1 Growth Area, and expansion of the MUSA.
3) 2 properties require a land use designation change from low density,
unsewered residential to low density, sewered residential and expansion
of the MUSA.

potential of seven new single family residences on the street. Any new single
family development within the amendment area will have minimal impact to the
system.
Wastewater
Approval of the amendment will allow for the connection of existing properties to
the municipal sanitary sewer system. The amendment area lies within Sewer
Service District 2, which has the capacity to carry the anticipated increase in
flows. The amendment will only add a total of 7.04 acres of MUSA servicing upto
15 single family residences.
Water
An existing City trunk water main is located on EIm Street and services several of
the adjacent properties. The existing system is capable of servicing the
amendment area.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing and discussed the request
at its May 14, 2003 meeting. The board unanimously recommended approval of
the Comprehensive Plan. Amendment.
RECOMMENDATION
Given the need to improve EIm Street and the proximity of sanitary sewer and
water it is cost effective and prudent to extend public utilities in conjunction with
the street improvements. The amendment is necessary to allow for the
extension of these services and provide for the eventual need to phase out
existing on -site private utilities.
Therefore, staff is recommending approval of the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment to allow the following:
1. Change the Land Use designation of 26 properties from Low Density,
Unsewered Residential to Low Density, Sewered Residential.
2. Change the Growth Area designation of 5 properties to a Stage 1 growth
area.
3. Expansion of the MUSA by 7.04 acres.
