LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 1, 1991 3 1. Get an agreement with either Oakdale or Woodbury acceptable to both City Councils, for the use of sewer facilities to provide service to the potential MUSA area. 2. Enact a zoning ordinance, including at least allowed uses and design standards, for the MUSA area. 3. Bring the zoning of all parts of the City into conformance with the Future Land Use Map of the existing comprehensive Plan by rezoning the land appropriately, with the exception of the land to be included in the MUSA area as described below. However, if a resident owns and resides on homesteaded land which is currently zoned agriculture, and that resident requests that the zoning remain agriculture, that request shall be granted. Once the above three actions have been accomplished, the City Council shall by ordinance amend the Comprehensive Plan to include and apply to the Metropolitan Council for extension of the MUSA line, in accordance with the Planning Commission's recommendation, to the 1/4 section line north of I-94 from Inwood Avenue to the 1/4 section line east of Keats Avenue and an additional area including to the 1/2 section line north of I-94 by 1/2 mile east of Inwood Avenue, except for an additional area including to the 1/2 section line north of I-94 by 1/4 mile to the west and 1/4 mile to the east of Keats Avenue. If the MUSA extension is granted by the Metropolitan Council, the city council shall issue an amended Comprehensive Plan to show the MUSA extension. The City Council shall, within 3 months of the Metropolitan Council approval, rezone the land within the MUSA area to bring the zoning into conformance with the amended Comprehensive Plan. 4. to set a sunset clause that if all of the Council concerns are not met at the end of 90 days the application is null and void. M/S/P Mottaz/Mayor Johnson - to amend the amendment by deleting Item No. 3. (Motion carried 3-2: Williams: The reason for bringing the rest of the City into conformance with the Comp Plan was to limit the MUSA line. I don't want it to grow any larger than it is. The message I get from the residents is: put something down there I don't care, but don't make me pay for it; and protect the residential areas. If those residential areas that our comp plan calls for, especially along 10th St., are not protected by zoning, then I don't want any part of this. I feel I have compromised. Item No. 3 has been advocated by our city attorney for months and we have not done it yet. The Section of the Statutes clearly states the official controls should be brought into conformance of the Comp Plan within 9 months of changing of the plan. If the Council will not compromise the rest of the way, then the failure of this MUSA proposal is on your heads,
