They proposed a <br />build-out unsewered density of 1800 units, even though the 64/640 <br />Standard would have only allowed 1200 units. Their 1800 proposal <br />was rejected by Met Council. It was his impression that they <br />will likely agree to starting a septic inspection program, will <br />adopt Chapter 7080 and even higher standards for commercial and <br />industrial septic systems, and will make some agreement with the <br />City of Rogers, who runs their own sewer plant; but since Hassan <br />aaes no viable sanctions that Met Council could impose on them, <br />they will probably refuse to agree to the 64/640 density <br />Standards. <br />The City of Rosemount has 2.5 to 5 acre minimum lot sizes, <br />as well as an agricultural zone. They are in the midst of a Comp <br />Plan Amendment and are still allowing development of 2.5 to 5 <br />acre lots but those developments must also have creditable land <br />set aside to meet the 1 in 10 density requirements. Their <br />planner expects that this will eventually result in pressures to <br />develop the lands being used for credit today, leading to future <br />problems. <br />The City of Medina already had development restrictions in <br />place based on soil types, which in the past has yielded <br />densities near the 1 in 10 standard. Medina also has significant <br />portions of Baker Park which is mostly creditable for higher <br />densities and other portions of the City. (The Planner from <br />Bassan indicated that in his dealings with Met Council they <br />indicated no density credits could be transfered from section to <br />section, but had to be within a section. This is one item we'll <br />have to clarify). <br />The City of Minnetrista has some areas zoned for 5 acre <br />lots, but the majority of the city is 10 acre density zoning. <br />Their planner indicates he is in the process of advising property <br />owners of the new Met Council policies, anticipating that many <br />landowners will develop before the door closes. <br />t is the probable <br />will be <br />the p <br />regnii <br />time fr in which ccMpliance with S4/B40 <br />red? <br />Per the February 10, 1992 mamo from Robert Overby and as <br />indicated by Barb Senness, any Ccxnp Plan Amendment which adds 40 <br />seres or more to the Metropolitan Urban Service Area or any <br />"siibstantial” revision, update, rewrite or addition to a chapter <br />or element of the existing Corap Plan, is considered a •major <br />tndment* which triggers a 64/640 review.
