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 ~evelopmem of townhomes in ~ golf course PUD that did not have municipal water and sanitary sewer. Upon inquiry, I was informed that none of Ham Lake is ~rved by municipa} sewer and water systems and therefore developing the multiple fl~mily housing without municipal services and at a density that exceeded 4 in 40 density was not a threat to their infrastructure needs. : l~.esponsibility for on-site system failures - If the City approves this premature development of multiple f~mily housing in the rural district, then what is our l{ability or responsibiliB, for on-site system failures and are we creating a premature riced for municipal sen, ices in outlying areas? lh'ecedent setting situation - How does the City justify approval of this premature development of multiple family housing in the rural district to other would-be developers in the rural district. If we can't, we seriousb, violate our 4 in 40 density ZOning and jeopardize Metro Council approval of our MUSA expansions. The issues and~ concerns discussed in this letter are not all-inclusive, but I believe the), are representative 6f our initial thoughts with respect to your p. roposal and your responses to these items will serv~ to open the door to more detailed discusmons. Following resolution of these concerns and ar~y other significant issues, we can la5, out the proper procedure for amending the PUD accordingly. Respectfully, CITY OF RAM~EY Sylvia Frolik .
