<br />I - <br /> <br />CITY CONSIDERING <br /> <br />EXPANDING URBAN AREA <br /> <br />You may have noticed that the City is growing. Nearly 200 <br />homes were constructed in each of the last two years conti- <br />nuing a strong growth trend. Approximately 45% of these <br />new homes have been constructed in the urban area of the <br />City and are served by City sewer and water. Figure 1 il- <br />lustrates residential building activity from 1980 to 1988. <br />Growth has also been experienced in the business and in- <br />dustrial sectors with the expansion of existing business and <br />development of new businesses. <br />While this growth is welcomed in the City, it is rapidly <br />depleting the stock of available building lots in the City's ur- <br />ban service area. The City is currently considering the ex- <br />tent that the urban area should be expanded to meet develop- <br />ment needs through the year 2000. <br />The Metropolitan Council, as the regional pOlicy making <br />body, reviews and approves the extension of regional urban <br />services including sanitary sewer in each metropolitan com- <br />munity. The area served is aptly designated as the <br />Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The MUSA boun- <br />daries are revised every 10 years based on population <br />growth, land development, and regional system capacities. <br />Figure 2 illustrates the 1990 MUSA area within the City and <br />existing zoning. <br />Figure 3 illustrates the proposed expansion of the MUSA <br />to meet projected development demands through the year <br />2000. Approximately 400 developable acres would be add- <br />ed to the MUSA increasing the MUSA acreage to 1,870 acres <br />of which 400 acres are undevelopable, 530 acres currently <br />are developed and 930 acres are undeveloped. Of the <br />developable acreage, approximately 700 acres are zoned <br />residential, 340 acres are zoned business and 400 acres are <br />zoned industrial. <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public <br />hearing at the City Hall on the proposed MUSA expansion <br />at 7:30 p.m. at their January 3, 1989 regular meeting. <br /> <br />220 <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />0 194 <br /> ~~ 190 <br /> ~ ,"" <br />0- ~~ <br /> \:\ ~~ <br /> ,,~ <br />0 " <br /> 145 i'- <br />0 ,"" <br /> ~ i'- <br />0 ~ <br /> ~ ~ <br />0- " <br /> 88 ~ <br /> ~ ,"" 86 <br />0- 75 <br /> " " ~ <br /> ~ ~ <br /> 111 60 <br />0 0: ~ ~ <br /> 50 ~ """'-' <br />i'- ~ "",, " <br /> ~ ~ ~ 43 <br />0 <br /> 30 ,,~ ~ ~ <br /> '" ,,~ ~ 22 <br />0- ~ ~ ~ ~ i'- <br /> ~ ~ ,,~ ~ ~ <br /> ',..
