Metropolitan Council_Ad<yating regional cconofnic. sodetzd and environmental issues and solutions <br />I <br />The Council staff has reviewed the information from the city staff regarding the possible addition <br />of ses-eral city areas to the Metropolitan Urban Service Area. If the city decides to submit a plan <br />amendment to the Council for review, the following information should be submitted with the <br />amendment. In addition, a number of broad policy issues regarding the city’s development, <br />wastewater handling/treatment and housing polices are discussed. We feel these can best be <br />addressed by updating appropriate sections of the city’s comprehensive plan. <br />Based on Council forecasts, the city has an adequate supply of land within the current MUSA to <br />meet the city’s needs through the year 2000. (The Council will not reevaluate the region’s land <br />use needs through the years 2005 and 2010 until 19%.) Based on this, the city must demonstrate <br />that the additions to the MUSA will include only areas that are experiencing failing on-site <br />sanitary disposal sv-stems. These areas couid include vacant lots that cannot be avoided in <br />extending sewers, but the numbers should be limited. We suggest that any proposal to include <br />undeveloped land be discussed with the staff prior to including these areas in the plan <br />amendment. <br />The following information should be submitted with the plan amendment. Most of this <br />information is required for local sewer plans as stated in the Council ’s Wastewater Treatroentl^ <br />Handling Pohey Plan (Tiers 1 and 2). <br />1. A map showing the location, land uses and extent of the areas to be included and boundaries <br />of the metropolitan interceptor service areas if there is more than one. and any intercoraraunitv <br />connections. Some of this information is indicated on the maps you have given to us at our Gist <br />meeting. <br />2 - S 2. The projected number of households and employees to be served by metropolitan sewers at <br />present and in 2000 and 2010 for the entire city and for each individual interceptor service area. <br />(If there is more than one.) <br />Mears Park Centre 230 East Fifth Stree*St Paul.
