<br />Ms. Ann Norris <br />May 2, 198f> <br />Page Two <br /> <br />what is proposed in this project is permitted up until the maximum is <br />reached for the entire Rural Service Area, any other landowners wiShing to <br />develop their property after that ti~ will be able to argue that unless <br />they are permitted to develop at some density, they will be denied <br />reasonable use of their property. Essentially, the impact of this <br />development, and the city's interpretation of their Rural Service Area <br />policies could possibly be to drastically increase the density for the <br />whole planning area. <br /> <br />3, While not directly an agriculturally-related issue, the EIS does not <br />adequately address the potentially higher future cost to the entire <br />community, including agricultural landowning taxpayers, for public <br />services costs, such as police and fire protection, other emergency <br />services, and the provision of public sewer and water facilities in the <br />event of septic system failure and/or well contamination for such a large <br />area. <br /> <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE <br /> <br />Pa.J~~ <br /> <br />Paul Burns <br />Environmental Review Coordinator <br /> <br />PB:kvr <br /> <br />cc: Greg Downing, EQB Staff <br />Jim Nichols <br />Rollin Dennistoun <br />Jerry Heil <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />I <br />l <br /> <br />-51- <br /> <br />
