CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 31-93
RESOLUTION ADOPTING CRITERIA FOR MUSA EXPANSION/TRADE EVALUATION
WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes believes criteria needs to be
established for considering any expansion/trade of MUSA area within
the City of Lino Lakes, and
WHEREAS, the following criteria has been established and will
henceforth be used in review of any MUSA expansion/trade proposal
presented to the City of Lino Lakes:
1. The property is contiguous to the MUSA and provides a
logical extension of utilities in an orderly growth pattern.
2. Utility improvements respond to environmental, health
safety, and general welfare concerns.
3. The land is not green acres.
4. The potential sewer discharge of the project is within
limitations assigned to the City of Lino Lakes by regional
agencies.
5. The developer/benefitting property owners assume the
significant majority of improvement/service costs, and agree to pay
assessments associated with extending service to serve their
property.
6. The proposed MUSA expansion or trade is consistent with the
City's infill policy which encourages urban development to locate
wherever possible in areas where public investments have already
been provided.
7. In considering land trades, the City should not exchange
developable commercial or industrial zoned land for a proposed
residential development unless fiscal impact concerns are fully
addressed.
8. The developer acknowledges and holds all governmental units
harmless should limitations on sewer hookups be imposed.
9. The proposal does not qualify as a premature development or
subdivision based on the following:
a. Lack of adequate storm water drainage capacity.
b. Lack of adequate or safe water supply.
c. Lack of adequate roads or highways to serve the
subdivision or development.
d. Lack of adequate or safe sewage disposal.
e. Inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
f. Lack of adequate public support facilities (I.e.
schools, parks and recreation, fire and police, etc.).
g. Inconsistent with environmental protection policies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of
Lino Lakes that the above described criteria is hereby adopted to
