Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor Kenneth Peterson, Councilmembers Pearson, DeLuca and Cich. Voting No: None. Absent: Mayor Reimann. Case # 6: Consider Policy on Extension of Time Frame Required for Platting Process. Mr. Hartley stated that current City Ordinances spell out a period of time that an applicant has to process and file final plats. One thing that is not spelled out is how long and how many extensions should the City be granting before an approved plat is acted upon, taking into consideration that ordinances and circumstances change. The same situation exists with regard to site plans. State law does spell out some guidelines whereby developers have one year from the time of preliminary plat approval to final plat approval and two years to record the final plat without said plat being subject to changes in standards. State law does not provide any guidelines for acting upon an approved site plan. The consensus of the City Council was that City Ordinances should be amended to coincide with State law with extensions being available beyond those time frames following a review of the said development in relationship to current ordinances. Motion by Councilmember DeLuca and seconded by Councilmember Pearson to direct City staff to draft Ordinance Amendments that would grant the developer one year to receive final plat approval following preliminary plat approval and two years to record the plat following final plat approval. Extensions beyond these time frames will be considered on a case by case basis following a review of the plat in relationship to current standards. Further, that the City Ordinance be amended to require developers to enter into site plan development permits within 120 days from site plan approval. Extensions to the 120 day time frame will be available upon request on a case by case basis following a review of the development in relationship to current standards. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor Kenneth Peterson, Councilmembers Pearson, DeLuca and Cich. Voting No: None. Absent: Mayor Reimann. Case # 7: Supplemental Submittal for the 205 Acre MUSA Expansion. Mt'. Otto stated that following City Council approval on September 24, 1990, the report addressing the conditions attached to the conditional approval of the 205 acre MUSA expansion were submitted to Metropolitan Council. Enclosed in the Council Agenda this evening is Metro Council's review letter indicating that the submittal was deficient in two areas. The first area was the need for additional information regarding the impact of the 205 acre MUSA expansion on Highway 10 and Ramsey's policy on private waste water treatment facilities. Pursuant to Metro Council's letter, City staff has prepared the supplemental information for Council review and submittal to Metro Council. With respect to the concerns of transportation along Highway 10, City staff has drafted a plan which indicates there is a sufficient capacity on Highway 10 but there is a need to develop east-west arterial and a service road along Highway 10. With respect to private waste water treatment facilities, the proposal is to prohibit them in Ramsey. Motion by Councilmember DeLuca and seconded by Councilmember Pearson to approve the supplementary information and policies pertaining to the 205 acre MUSA expansion. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor Kenneth Peterson, Councilmembers Pearson, DeLuca and Cich. Voting No: None. Absent: Mayor Reimann. City Council/October 23, 1990 Page 8 of 18
