VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br /> SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING 8:30 P.M. <br /> (#9) #03-2873 CITY OF ORONO, SEVERAL PROPERTIES ON OLD LONG <br /> LAKE, RUANN, AND WAKEFIELD ROADS, COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT <br /> PLAN AMENDMENT 8:47-8:59 P.M. <br /> Gaffron explained that the City Council had directed staff to make an application to Met <br /> Council for expansion of the MUSA (Metropolitan Urban Service Area) to include a small <br /> number of properties along Old Long Lake Road situated just west of the Wayzata Country <br /> Club, between the Luce Line Trail and Wood Rill Scientific & Natural Area. The initial <br /> intent was to provide the potential to serve the vacant parcel at 645 Old Long Lake Road <br /> and the developed parcels adjacent to it with municipal sewer. <br /> Gaffron stated that the public hearing was the first step in the process for completing a <br /> Comprehensive Plan amendment to revise the MUSA. The proposed amendment would be <br /> submitted to the Met Council on their standard forms, and submitted to adjacent <br /> municipalities for comment. Gaffron continued that, once the Met Council had approved <br /> the amendment, the City could formally adopt it by resolution. He explained that actual <br /> construction of the sewers and assessments would be topics dealt with primarily by the <br /> City Council with no further Planning Commission comment. Since the amendment area <br /> is less than 40 acres, Gaffron stated that preliminary discussions with Met Council staff has <br /> indicated that the amendment would likely be viewed as minor and timely approval would <br /> be expected. <br /> PAGE 15 of 26 <br />
