PUBLIC POLICY STATEMENT
N/A
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED:
City Staff and the Planning Commission are requesting the City Council consider a request by 3 resident
petitioners to have their properties be added to the Village MUSA area in order to participate in the City’s
Old Village Phase 2 Street and Utility Improvement Project. Staff and the Planning Commission
recommend approval with the following motion:
“Move to approve Resolution 2016-32 to amend the City’s Comprehensive Wastewater Facilities
Plan, adding 3 residential parcels, PID #s 24.029.21.22.0019, 24.029.21.22.0020 and
24.029.21.22.0021, to the Village MUSA area”.
BACKGROUND AND STAFF REPORT:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 11, 2016 and recommended approval to add the
3 parcels to the Village MUSA area. Stephen Johnson, one of the petitioner’s was in attendance to speak
in favor. Prior to approval by the City, City Staff intends to have all three petitioners sign a waiver,
waiving their rights to contest future assessments related to the project. The waiver is presently being
reviewed by the City Attorney, and signed waivers are anticipated prior to the City Council meeting on
April 19, 2016.
Comprehensive Plan amendments require a 4/5 vote by the City Council. The Comprehensive Plan
Map Amendment is also subject to the Metropolitan Council’s review and approval. The Metropolitan
Council has reviewed the proposal and had waived adjacent jurisdictional review. Staff anticipates
Metropolitan Council approval as this is a minor amendment.
The subsequent Comprehensive Plan Amendment for properties within the MUSA was pulled from the
agenda pending further clarification from the Metropolitan Council regarding proper land use
designations for properties within the MUSA.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan Map
Amendment with the following motion:
“Move to approve Resolution 2016-32 to amend the City’s Comprehensive Wastewater Facilities
Plan, adding 3 residential parcels, PID #s 24.029.21.22.0019, 24.029.21.22.0020 and
24.029.21.22.0021, to the Village MUSA area”.

PUBLIC HEARING ITEM __
REVIEW:
The City of Lake Elmo is planning for the Old Village Phase 2 Street and Utility Improvement
project and three property owners have petitioned the city to be included in the project to hook up to
the city’s wastewater system. The three parcels, located at 2915, 2929 and 2945 Lake Elmo Avenue
N., are to the south of the current Village MUSA area boundary as depicted on Map 6-1 in the City’s Comprehensive Wastewater Facility Plan. To include the properties in the MUSA, a comprehensive plan map amendment is required. The Phase 2 project will require the reconstruction of Lake Elmo
Avenue adjacent to these properties and the inclusion of these parcels easily fits into the existing
project. The cost of hooking up to the city system will be paid for by the petitioners.
In addition, many of the residential properties in the Old Village Phase 2 Street and Utility Improvement project receiving sewer are guided for Rural Single Family in the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan. Rural Single Family is defined as being, “largely serviced by private on-site well and
septic systems.” The corresponding land use guide for sewered urban lots is Urban Low Density.
Reguiding the Village sewered properties to Urban Low Density will bring the land use designation in conformance with the amended Village MUSA area. Subsequent to the comprehensive plan amendment, the corresponding properties should be rezoned from RS – Rural Single Family to LDR
– Urban Low Density Residential.
The proposed comprehensive plan map amendments will require a 4/5th affirmative vote by the City Council and approval by the Metropolitan Council. Because this project and the affected properties are more than the ¼ mile distance from an adjacent community the City has been granted a waiver
from adjacent community review by the Metropolitan Council as a part of this amendment.
RECOMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the comprehensive plan map amendment with the following motions:
“Move to recommend approval of an amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Wastewater
Facilities Plan, adding 3 residential parcels, PID #s 24.029.21.22.0019, 24.029.21.22.0020 and 24.029.21.22.0021, to the Village MUSA area,” and
“Move to recommend approval to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan by reguiding
parcels in the Village MUSA with the Rural Single Family designation to Urban Low Density”.
