Priority 6 New or existing development not covered by priorities 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. The Comprehensive Plan provides additional guidance. If at least one of the following Conditions are met: Conditions* Expansion of the MUSA on the established prioritized basis noted above will occur only when one of the following conditions is found: 1. When an area of existing homes has failing or non-conforming septic systems and replacement drain field sites are not available for a significant share of the existing homes. 2. When an individual home has a failing or non-conforming septic system, does not have an alternate drain field site, is adjacent to existing sewer lines, and is not part of a neighborhood that could be better served by a neighborhood sewer lateral project. 3. When a new or existing residential development meeting all required development standards is adjacent to existing sewer lines and the developer or homeowners agree to bear all costs of extending municipal sewer to the development, but only when inclusion of such development in the MUSA will not result in a decrease in the City’s sewered density as calculated by the Metropolitan Council. *These Priorities and Conditions are subject to change pending Met Council review and approval.
