No notifications were required for this case. Observations/Alternatives: Observations: A similar JPA exists between the City of Anoka and the City of Coon Rapids. Requests to extend utilities to serve neighboring cities are not uncommon in the twin cities metro area. The City of Anoka wishes to serve the two parcels with utilities to allow for future development. The properties are currently zoned R-6, Manufactured Home, and are guided for High Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. It is likely that a zoning change would be needed to allow development to occur on the site since the R-6 district generally only permits parks, churches and manufactured home parks. However, at this time nothing more is known about the future use of the two properties. Alternatives: Alternative #1 — Motion to adopt Resolution 15-01-024 approving the JPA as drafted. Alternative #2 — Motion to adopt Resolution 15-01-024 approving the JPA contingent on the following revisions; Alternative #3 — Motion to deny adoption of Resolution 15-01-024 at this time. Funding Source: No funding is required to comply with the City of Anoka's request, other than the time required by Staff and the City Attorney to review the draft JPA. Per the attached JPA, the City of Anoka will pay all costs required to construct and maintain the proposed trunk utility extensions based on the locations identified in the JPA, as well as all costs required to develop and record the JPA once approved. Recommendation: Staff believes the City of Anoka's request is reasonable and recommends selecting Alternative #1. Staff would support Alternative #2 if the Council feels that one or more minor modifications are needed to approve the draft JPA. Staff would not support Alternative #3 unless Council determines there are significant issues with the JPA as drafted that will require substantial revisions before approval can be considered. Action: Approve or deny adoption of Resolution 15-01-024.
