Patrick trudgeon - Re: Last night meeting Page 1 From: To: Date: Subject: Sylvia Frolik Patrick trudgeon 07/30/2001 10:38AM Re: Last night's meeting As for the Central Planning Area, I still say and Natalie disagrees but Jim should recall our discussions. The Comp Plan is supposed to contain an Urban Reserve Area for possible sewer and water extension beyond 2020. To do that, our only option was to go north into already developed areas and propose sewer and water and that would be a political hot button. Before you came, Jim and I looked at the map and decided that there would be market pressure north of the smart growth site and in 20 years those homes may be ready for sewer and water and /or redevelopment. We still knew we couldn't call it urban reserve, we had to soften it, so we told them we would 'study' the feasibility of adding that area to the musa in 2020. It was our tradeoff for an 'urban reserve area'. Just as before in our previous urban reserve area, we would discourage any further development and to do that we would retain 4 in 40 in that central planning area. That also helped up the total acreage being kept in 4 in 40 in exchange for abolishing 4 in 40 inthe greater rural area So, what I am saying is that they didn't hold us to the fire for an urban reserve area ... we got to do a central planning area instead. I know that won't satisfy Terry but that's my recollection of how we got to that central planning area. I suppose we could say that it helped in our quest to abolish 4 in 40 in a majority of the rural area. »> Patrick trudgeon 07/27/01 10:18AM »> From my notes from last night, I have the following action items 1) Get a copy of Burnsville's Heart of the City (mixed use) ordinance to the City Council. I have a copy and we can include in your weekly update if you like. 2) Get TH answer regarding Central Planning Area., Specifically, what did the City get in return from Met Council when the Central Planning Area was included in the March 2001 draft? 3) Get language to put in comp plan that does not require residents within the MUSA to hook to sanitary sewer and muncipal water if septic system is working. (Perhaps put our sewer hookup policy in the the Comp Plan? 4) Bring back the three drafts for the density transition ordinance. 5) Get QCTV a list of all City meetings. (Weekly Update). Let me know if you have any other action items to add.
