1) 2) 3) Impact on MUSA expansion discussions with Metro Council Per your suggestion, I did check with the City of Ham Lake regarding their similar cie~,,~lopment of townhomes in a golf course PUD that did not have municipal water anti sanitary sewer. Upon inquiry, I was informe, d that none of Ham Lake is se~ed by municipal sewer and water systems and therefore developing the muldple family housing without municipal services and at a density that exceeded zl in 40 densib, was not a th.mat to their infrastructure ne~cl.~. Rgsponsibility for on-site system failures - If the City approves this premature development of multiple family housing in thc rural district, then what is our liability or responsibiliD, for on-site system failures and are we creating a premature need for municipal services in outlying areas? Precedent setting situation - How does the City justify approval of this premature de~vetopment of multiple family housing in the rural district to other would-be developers in the rural district. If we can't, we seriously violate our 4 in 40 density zoning and jeopardfize Metro Council approval of our MUSA expansions. The issues and Concerns discussed in this letter are not all-inclusive, but I believe they are representative of tour initial thoughts with respect to your proposal and your responses to these items will serve t~o open the door to more detailed d3.scussions. Following resolution of these concerns and any~other significant issues, we can lay out the proper procedure for amending the PUD accordingly.
