WORKSHOP ITEM #: 2
DISCUSSION AGENDA ITEM: Comprehensive Plan – Rural Density Analysis
SUBMITTED BY: Kyle Klatt, Planning Director THROUGH: Bruce A. Messelt, City Administrator REVIEWED BY: Planning Commission
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: This item was tabled at the July 6th, Council Meeting due to time constraints. The City Council is respectfully requested to review the
housing and population projections from the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan, and to specifically
discuss the status of these projections as they relate to the City’s rural (unsewered) development areas.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the direction of the City Council, City staff have been
researching and preparing tonight’s presentation in an effort to expand upon the population projection chart from the Comprehensive Plan (page III-17) and to provide additional information concerning the number and location of both sewered and unsewered households throughout the time period addressed by the Plan.
No Council Action is requested at this time, though discussion and comment regarding further analysis/refinement is requested, as appropriate.
STAFF REPORT: The work of City staff has been predicated upon Council direction to further
refine the Comprehensive Plan as it relates to potential and likely development scenarios for both the sewered and unsewered portions of the community. This research is intended to assist the City Council as it proceeds with updating the Village Area Master Plan and planning for the I-94 & 10th Street North corridor.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above background information and attached staff report, it is recommended that the City Council receive tonight’s presentation, discuss the findings and, if appropriate, provide additional comment and/or direction regarding this analysis.
However, no specific Council action or direction is requested at this time.
