47 is a County road, so this affects the County also. He indicated it would be something they <br />would need to ask the League of Minnesota Cities and the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated he understands what Commissioner Johnson is saying about <br />including other areas but does not think it is fair to change the rules for someone who bought <br />land and is ready to develop to now have this extra cost. <br /> <br />Colnmissioner Johnson argued that people with land in the rural reserve will have the same <br />expectations as those in developing areas. He stated the only thing it affects is how much they <br />are charging for lots. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated the concept is worth exploring. He indicated it enforces the theory that if <br />land within the line is more valuable it now becomes even more valuable because it does not <br />have an infi'astructure fee with it. He stated the point is they have a 90-day moratorium and <br />cannot rewrite the entire ordinance in that time. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald stated they may be able to discuss this with the Comprehensive Plan re- <br />write they are pursuing. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Geisler noted what they are talking about is impact fees, and her understanding <br />is they are not legal in Minnesota. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated the question is really should we allow development to go forward, rather <br />than what is the impact if it goes forward. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson indicated one major problem they face when they go into areas that <br />develop haphazardly is the road network. He asked how many times they have seen a road come <br />down and have a bad hook up because the area was not developed properly. He believes they <br />have to have thought on how the road network should work and then preserve that as they allow <br />people to develop. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated this would be true for all the infrastructure corridors, such as roads, <br />sewer and water. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated it is easy to focus on rural development as primarily residential, but <br />what about commercial and quasi-public uses. He questioned what services would be needed for <br />those residents, tte stated this is not just about clustering and ghost platting. He indicated he <br />favors clustering, as he sees it as an opportunity to get something now and hold something back <br />for later. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson stated he likes clustering too, but he still wants to pay attention to the <br />corridor issue. He indicated he is not talking about a grid system, but some way to keep the <br />system orderly. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/June 3, 2004 <br /> Page 14 of 18 <br /> <br /> <br />
