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 suggestion, I did check with the City of Ham Lake regarding their similar development of townhomes in a golf course PUD that did not have municipal water and sanitary sewer. Upon inquiry, I was informed that none of Ham Lake is served by municipal sewer and warm- systems and therefore developing the multiple family housing without municipal services and at a density that exceeded 4 in 40 density was not a throat to their infrastructure needs. Responsibility for on-site system failures - If the City approves this premature development of multiple family housing in the rural district, then what is our liability or responsibility for on-site system failures and am we mating a premature need for municipal services in outlying areas? Precedent 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 seriously violate our 4 in 40 density zoning and jeopardize Metro Council approval of our MUSA expansions. The issues and concerns discussed in this letter arc not all-inclusive, but I beticve they are representative of our initial thoughts with respect to your proposal and your responses to these items will serve to open the door to more detailed discussions. Following resolution of these concerns and any other significant issues, we can lay out the proper procedure for amending the PUD accordingly.
