Maureen Bellows arrived after the vote. Charles Schroeder was absent. The following represented the City Staff; Planning and Zoning Admtnistrator Michael Gaffron, and City Recorder Teri Naab. Chair Kelley called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. (#1) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 4 - STUBBS BAY/MUSA BOUNDARY REALIGNMENT - PUBLIC HEARING 7:00 - 7:08 P.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. Gaffron explained that Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 4 Is an amendment to include the Stubbs Bay project area within the Metropolitan Council’s urban service area boundary. The area includes 137 property, 12b of which are developed, and 12 vacant lots. The City is not proposing to change any district boundaries or zoning standards. The amendment is to meet the criteria set by the Metropolitan Council requiring a plan amendment to show the boundaries of the MUSA line as the City continues to sewer various i jrtions of the City. He noted that in the past the City has gone ahead with a project and later applied for the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The Metropolitan Council has now asked that In the future amendments be requested prior to commencement of a project. Johnson asked the time line for the current MUSA boundary line for the City. Gaffron stated that the City has not adopted a specific "Year 2000" MUSA per the Metropolitan Council’s schematic. He said that the Stubbs Bay area is the last of five areas identified in the 1980 Comprehensive Plan, which were generally expected to be sewered by the 1990s. He noted that the City does not have any plans for future amendments. He explained that Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 3 has not been adopted by the Metropolitan Council as they have requested additional information, and intend to address the issue of 64/640. He added that when North Oaks recently went through the same type of request the City will soon be going through, they were eventually allowed to continue with their current development of 1 to 1 1/2 acre unsewered development without a problem from the Metropolitan Council.

Planning & Zoning Admi..istrator DATE:July 24, 1992 SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 4 Stubbs Bay MUSA Boundary List o£ Exhibits A - Existing MUSA Boundary Map B - Proposed MUSA Boundary Addition C - Legal Description D - Draft Resolution for Adoption by Council Discussion This is a public hearing to consider inclusion of the Stubbs Bay sewer project area within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary. The MUSA line is a boundary established by local governments and Metropolitan Council to define those areas which are or will be served by the metropolitan sewer system. In 1980 Orono defined its MUSA boundary to include only those areas currently sewered. Subsequent amendments to the MUSA boundary were approved by the Met Council after construction of the MinnetonJca Bluffs, West Ferndale/Marinas/Orono Lane, and Crystal Bay sewer projects. While the City in the past treated such MUSA amendments as an after-the-fact housekeeping process, the Met Council is indicating that Stubbs Bay and all future MUSA amendments must occur before sewer construction. The Metro Waste Control Commission, which has jurisdiction over the Metropolitan sewer mains which serve Orono, indicated they would not grant approval to the MPCA to issue Stubbs Bay or future sewer project permits until a MUSA line amendment was approved by the Met Council. Because of the immediacy of the Stubbs Bay project, staff provided Metropolitan Council with all the information needed to process the Stubbs Bay MUSA boundary revision, and the Met Council granted approval of this amendment on July 23rd subject to the City's completion of the public hearing process. This amendment will be presented for adoption by the City Council at their August 10th meeting. ifii'#rv-Trr Memo July 24, 1992 Page 2 MUSA Boundary Anendment The attached map and legal description indicate the proposed new MUSA boundary. Only properties which were included in the Stubbs Bay project area are involved. Although no future sewer extensions are anticipated to be needed outside the current boundary, any future expansion would require a future MUSA line amendment. Also, the capacity of the system downstream from Stubbs Bay would limit the number of additional future units to fifty or less in this area of Orono . Note that while the Stubbs Bay MUSA boundary amendment is considered as Comp Plan Amendment No. 4, Comp Plan Amendment No. 3 (which updates the Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan and adds other already sewered areas to the MUSA) has been delayed since earlier this year pending staff submittal of additional requested information, which has recently been submitted. It has been indicated that Comp Plan Amendment No. 3 will result in a Met Council review of our rural development policies (2 and 5 acres zones versus Met Council's "64 units per 640 acres" policy). Notice for the August 3'*d public- hearing has been published and notice mailed to neighboring cities, although such mailed notice is likely not required since there is likely no effect on those cities. The public hearing process is required for any amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, as Indicated on page CMP 10-3. Staff Recoanendation Staff recommends that Planning Commission forward a recommendation to Council for approval of inclusion of the Stubbs Bay sewer project area within the MUSA boundary, per the attached map and legal description.
