Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTs) (Kyle Colvin, 651-602-1151)
<br />On Page 4 of Chapter 9, Water Resources Plan (PDF page 226), the Plan states that the City
<br />maintains a database of approximately 4,170 SSTS; and that the City has an estimated 4,170
<br />SSTS. On Page 2 of Chapter 9 (PDF page 224) Table 1 shows 4,418 SSTS in 2010 and 4,600
<br />SSTS in 2020. These numbers need to be consistent throughout the Plan.
<br />Forecasts (Todd Graham, 651-602-1322)
<br />The City requests a revision of its population, households, and employment forecast. (Forecasts
<br />appear in Tables 1 thru 4, and 22 through 24). The employment forecast revision has been
<br />previously discussed and agreed to by Council staff. The population and households revision
<br />has not been agreed to.
<br />At this time, Council staff can agree to the City's requested revision of 2020 and 2030 numbers.
<br />The Council will require that the 2040 sewer -serviced forecast remain as specified in the
<br />System Statement: 8,940 sewer -serviced households. The corresponding sewer -serviced
<br />population will be 25,900 in 2040. The Plan is incomplete, awaiting an agreement on an
<br />acceptable sewer -serviced forecast.

<br />Advisory Comments
<br />Red -line edits contained in the TAZ table (Table 43) cause errors in extracting the data into a
<br />database. This needs to be corrected in the final version of the Plan.
<br />Land Use (Eric Wojchik, 651-602-1330)
<br />Future Land Use
<br />• This resubmitted Plan includes a revision to the High Density Residential land use category
<br />density range. Previously, the density range of this category was 10-15 units/acre. The Plan
<br />has been revised to 8-15 units/acre which results in the density range for this land use now
<br />inconsistently referenced in the Plan:
<br />o Both Table 35, Development Staging by Planning Period, on page 41, and Future Land
<br />Use Descriptions, on page 32, still show the HDR land use category with a minimum
<br />residential density of 10 units/acre. The density rangesforthis land use category must
<br />be consistently referenced throughout the Plan.
<br />• Table 35, Development Staging by Planning Period, on page 41, shows MU High Density
<br />Residential land use as having 16.39 development acres, but this is inconsistent with the 6.9
