between now and 2026 for the City to resolve the conflict between the Met Council's. willingness to allow the transfer of 500 mandatory REC's from South of 10th Street to the Old Village, and the November 2007 determination that there are only 196 possible existing houses to connect. For example, a future Met Council maybe willing to count the 200 plus REC's anticipated for existing commercial and civic buildings. This is based on the MOU, which gives the City transfer credits for up to 500 units from south of 10th Street, and from the Letter from Chuck Dillerud to Bob Mazanec dated Jan. 31, 2006: "In concert, the map and text address the following: a. Future new sewered development within the Village Area that will generate 500+ REC's at 3 dwelling units per acre average." It is further based on the only reasonable interpretation of the Council's long held intent to sewer 600 new housing units and (up to) 500 existing housing units. This is seen in the Staging Plan, which states that the City will expect 515 sewered housing units between now and the end of 2010, along with 2,200 new residents, at 2.75 residents per unit. In addition, Item No. 5 on page 1I-8, is very telling: In plain language this Item states that 1,000 REC's will be "reserved" for the Old Village, Of the 1,000 REC's, 500 will be "maintained" to provide Regional Wastewater Service to all existing residential and non-residential properties —+/- 410 identified - in the Village Area now served by on -site or remote 201 systems. The City will not order existing residents or businesses to connect, subject to a health threat. "The remaining (500) REC's shall be made available for new development within the Village Area,only if said new development is consistent with the Village Plan."

This will be necessary to provide the "bonus" units listed in the Staging Plan. Regional Sewer Is proposed, but optional.
