LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTEES DECEMBER 16, 1986 PAGE 4 ( Metro Council forecasts" and discrepancies show up between projections in Oakdale's Sewer Plan and its Comprehensive Plan. (see page 2, letter of 11-26-86). It is also worth asking why Oakdale's analysis of household demand starts in the base year 1980 and, continues to the year 2000. It would seem necessary to start from the base year of 1986, when the plan amendment is requested, and subtract growth in the number of households between 1980 and 1986. This would provide a more accurate (and perhaps less inflated) representation of the projected growth in households in Oakdale between 1986 and 2000. Since the City received the Oakdale Plan amendment on 11-13-86, the City of Oakdale has decided to ask the Metro Council for permission to waive the customary 90-day review and comment period. A response from the Metro Council staff on Oakdale's review timing was not recevved in time for this mailing. The City of Oakdale made some changes to the working of their Plan amendment, and more importantly reduced the number of projected residential dwelling units in the year 2000 from 9,676 to the new figure of 6,800 dwelling units. The new figure would be closer to the Metro Council forecast of 6,500 dwelling units, but still in excess by 1.76 units. This change in the amendment would lessen one of the concerns raised by Lake Elmo in its staff review. r A second change in the Plan amendment corrected the previous Metro Coucil population and housing projections for the year 2000 to read.: 17,000 population and 6,800 households. Oakdale's employment forecast for the year 2000 of 6,500 jobs still exceeds the Metro Council's forecasts of 5,000 jobs. A final concern raised by Steve DeLapp and the Planning Commission is that Oakdale should clearly understand that "Lake Elmo has defined its MUSA line for now and forever; that the City has no intention to open up Lake Elmo for Oakdale's sewer lines through the central part of the City of Lake Elmo." The Planning Commission recommended that the staff draft a letter pointing out the above concerns to the Metro Council. M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - to authorize the City Administrator to send a letter to the Metro Council which addresses the City's concerns in regard to the Oakdale Plan amendments. (Motion carried 4--0). D.
