° � � Info Memo for 12-18,84 Council Meeting Page 4 This last aspect restricts the intensity of development and is the key factor in the overlay district" This factor relates to how much sewage can be generated by any type of development and uses the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission standard of a SAC unit. One SAC unit equals the amount of sewage typically discharged from a single family residential home. The minimum lot size in this overlay district is 10 acres with one SAC unit being allowed per 2.5 acres" As we have a l 1/2 acre lot size requirement in residential districts you can tell that the amount of sewage allowed to be generated by the development along I~94 ' would be less than what is generated from a single family home" This factor may need some revisions, either by the City Council or to be recommended to the City Council from the Planning Commission" The question seems to be whether or not we should allow more intense development than residential along I~94 or less intense development. We could'i��clude the provision that indicates one SAC unit for 10 acres which`�would practically exclude any type of development and would have all. the land owners up in arms; or, we could he more lenient and include 18, 15 or 20 SAC,units per 10 acre parcel and allow development that is much more,intense than residential. Clearly the City wants to encourage the intense sewage generators to develop in Section 32 where sewer is available., ' � The corrido� or overlay district is a simple concept but has many complex elements in it. Adoption of this corridor overlay district will � involve close evaluation by the City Council and numerous public hearings before both the City Council and Planning Commission with the land owners" The staff believes that this overlay district will meet with the goals of the City Council, / \ \ / A more detailed comprehensive memo will be sent to the City Council ^ shortly and this item will be discussed at the 1-8_85 Council meeting, The Planning Commission desires to obtain some input from the City Council before they go through the time and expense of the public hearing process" Planning Consultant Rob Chelseth is available to make a presentation on this concept tothe City Council at any time and has worked with the Planning Commission on this proposal. If this overlay corridor concept proceeds through the public hearings at the planning commission level, I will be having Rob attend the City Council meeting when this concept is considered"
