i I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1) 2) ~) Impact on MUSA expansion discussions with Metro Council - Per your mggestion, I did check with the City of Ham Lake regarding their similar :ievelopment of townhomes in a golf course PUD that did not have municipal water md sanitary sewer. Upon inquiry, I was informed that none of Ham Lake is ~erved by municipal sewer and water systems and therefore developing the multiple [amiiy housing without municipal services and at a density that exceeded 4 in 40 ~iensity was not a threat to their infrastructure needs. [esponsibility for on-site system failures - If the City approves this premature [evelopment of multiple family housing in the rural district, then what is our iabiIity or responsibility for on-site system failures and are we creating a premature ~eed for municipal services in outlying areas? .~l~eecedent setting situation - How does the City justify approval of this premature velopment 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 ~oning and jeopardize Metro Council approval of our MUSA expansions. The issues an~ concerns discussed in this letter are not all-inclusive, but I believe they are representative df our initial thoughts with respect to your proposal and your responses to these items will serv~ to open the door to more detailed discussions. Following resolution of these concerns and ar~y other significant issues, we can lay out the proper procedure for amending the PUD accordingl[y.
