Orono Letter Dated 1/28/88 - Plan Review Time Extension B. Orono Letter Dated 1/28/88 - MUSA Extension ISSUE - Acceptance of information regarding the Metropolitan Council review of the City's Comprehensive Plan Amendment #2. INTRODUCTION - The City had submitted its Comprehensive Plan dm Amenent #2_ for review in November and was given a deadline of February 15, 1988 by which Metropolitan Council would respond. At the beginning of the corridor study the City had informally, through its Engineer, inquired as to the capacity of the Long Lake lift station and force main. It was indicated at that point that the capacity was not an issue and that the addition of a pump, for which a spot was already available at the plant, is all that would be required. In the spring of 1987 during the review process of the plan amendment by the Planning Commiss+.on and Council, the City had sent a copy of the preliminary document to Metro Council for preliminary review. That informal rev i?w did not reveal any concerns regarding capacity. At the meeting on Friday, January 22, 1988 representatives of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, Metropolitan Council, the City Engineer and myself, the Metro Waste and Metro Council Planners felt that they needed to do more research to determine the actual capacity of the plant together with the upgrades before they could determine the extent to which the City's request for additional units in that area was ;:echnical'_y possible. As a result they requested that the City grant them a sixty day extension. If they were not allowed to have additional time, they would not be able to approve the plan at the level the plan contemplates. As such Attachment A grants them the extension. As a housekeeping item Attachment B was transmitted to the Metropolitan Council as their documentation does not reflect the area in Block 3 of the plan, which was assessed for sewer in 1967, as being within the Municipal Urban Service Area line. As mentioned before the property that was assessed should be appropriately be contained within the MUSA line. RECOMMENDATION - It is recommended that the Council accept the information provided relating to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment #2. PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by , seconded by , that the Council accept the information regarding the Comprehensive Plan Amendment #2.
