It is our understanding that the Medina City Council is considering a change to its ZA zone that would allow ' for an area-wide Vo-Tech School as a special use. It is also our understanding that if this a1T,end,-�ent is made to the RA zone, it ,� would give any land owner within that zone the right to use his land for an area-wide Vo-'I'ech School unless the City of Medina � could de,.ionstrate that the establishment of an area-wide Vo-Tech School would be detrimental to the ptzblic health, safety and '� welfare. The Orono Council feels that this amend.,-nent, if adopted, � would grant a substantial .property right to all land owners within the RA zone without adequate control and safeguards that could � have a substantial impact on the future planning of your City. The Orono Council also feels that this proposed amendment to your � zoning cooe could have great affect on neighboring cities , as well as a proiound i�:��act on the regi onal pl anning of the 1-ietro- � politan Council. 1 '� Ir.�pact to the City of Orono as an Adjacent Communi�ty: � l. The City of Orono has adopted a Comprehensive Guide Pl�n which has bzen implimented by the adoption of a Comprehen- "'� sive Zoning Code, which has as one of its underlying goals , � the protection and preservation of Lake Minnetonka. ` 2. The engineering studies that have been conducted on L�ke 2�innetonka indicate that its major source of pollution f today co�es from the phosphorous content contained in the � storm water runoff from its watershed. These studies further indicate that the level of phosphorous content in the stortn • w�ter runoff increases as the land use within t�e watershed becomes more densely used through higher levels of urbanizatic � . � r�qe 1 5 ?'.-�dina City Council � *:arch 29 , 1977 �'��e 2 . y J 3. Orono has instituted ma;�y policies that are designed to protect and prese?-ve Lake N�innetonka based on these engineering studies. These policies require that Orono remain as a rural residential Io�t-density coTs-�unity whose � higher quality storn water runoff will have a r.�inimum adverse affect on Lake ?�innetonka. � � 4 . `_"he Orono Co�prehenszve Guide Plan nnd tr,e Orono Co�<<pre- hensive Sewer Plan has design�ted all of Orono that is 1 r�ot now presently served by municipal sewer to be within � he rural service area. ^he residential la_nd use within chis rural service area is establi_shed with a two and a � �ive acre min�;r�um ]ot size to insure ��at the l�vel of urbanization will �aintain high stGndards of storm water � runoff to Lake t�iinnetor.ka. The Orono Comprehensive Zoning Code does not allow in the rural service area any permit�ed or special Lse that would require the installation of sani�ary sew�rs or o�her levels of ��unic�pal services �sually p�-ovided in ur��nized com�uniti_es . 5. The sou�_1,ern hali of the City of 25edina is also within the La};e P�innetonka watershed. and, for the most part, this �+atershed drains tnrough the City of Orono before entering ?ake i�inneLonka. The Orono Council feels that the establish- • ing of any permitted or special use for large urbanized sLructures the magnitude of an area-wide Vo-Tech School that ,� requires �h e installation of saniLary sewers , additional . �ransportation routes , and urbanized levels of police �nd -� fire service within the rural service area,would be detrimental to the Orono Comprehensive Guide Plan. � • Ir-ipact Affecting Metro olitan Council Regional Planning. ' � 1_ At the present time, the 2�Setropolitan Council and the 189 �unicipalities located within the �:�etropolitan area are � involved in a three-year process of reevaluating and develop- ing comprehensive guide plans as required by the Land Plan- � ning Act established by the State Legislature in 1965_ The Land P1_anning Act developes a process whereby each � co��unity must evaluate its long-range neFds for develop- � ment within the metropolitan area. The City of Orono would feel that this proposed amendnent to your RA zone would � grant a property right that �nay be difficult to remove in the future, even if in the development of your comprehensive � guide plan, it can be de�onstrated that this land use would be detri��ental to the long-range goals and poli_cies of the City of Medina. It would seer.� more sensible to delay any , such decision until such t�e that the Medina Comprehensive Guide Plan has been developed and approved by the Metro- politan Council. � :�_-J e 16 ' "�dina City Council ':arch 29 , 1977 P�ce 3 � 2. The ?��etropolitan Council is presently oeveloping st:.ndares for a N,etro�olitan Significance Review. This review is similar to an environr,�ental impact sta�ement that can be requested by co,�ununities and groups of residents pertaining i to any deve�opment plans that may have an adverse impact on local or regional policies. Although the Metropolitan S�gniiicance regulation had not been finally adopted, the proposed draft does cle�rly state the reasons for which a 2�etropolitan Significance Review could be conducted. A proposed develop.�ent the ,��agnitude of an area-wide Vo-Tech School would easily fall within the requirements for which a Netropolit�n Significance Review covld be conducted_ It would seem unwise for the Ci�y of Medina to grant a property ' right �oday that would be subject to a i•Setropoli�an Significance Review prior to construction. 3. The j^7aste Nanaoement Plan, as adopted by the ?��eLr_opolitan Council ,does not include metropolit�n seker interceptor - ca�aci�y Tor the City of riedina , • at the pr�-sent ti�e. The plan also states that the metropolitan interceptor capacity will not be provided for the City of 2�edina for at least the next thirteen-year period. It would seem unwise to gra�t a property rignt tocay ror the construction of a faciliLy that would �;,ost cer�ainly require availability of a metropolitan intercepLor. , 4 . During the development of the Orono Transportation Plan, '� it was neLermi.ned t�at the State of Ninnesota had no pl�ns - to uparade StaLe Hzghway rl2 west of ti'ayzata for at least the next twenty years. This major transpor�ation route � would be the metropolitan link to the rural lands of Orono - and the sou'-�..hern half of 2�ledina that is necessary be�ore ! our cities could urbanize. It would seem unwise to grant a property right today that would allow the construction oi a iacility that would reauire improvements to the transportation network that will not occur for at least the next twenty years. � � The City of Orono understands that this public hearing is for the p�rpcse of considering �n amendment to your zoning code and not for Lhe cor.sideration of a propesed Vo-Tech School to be construc�ed on � �he southern border of Medina_ The Orono City Council, however, would • li};e to point out that we were requested on Nove��nber 8, 1976, by the Joint Independence School District a287, for sewer .service to its proposed West Site Campus located ir:�T�ediately north of County Road r6 in 2ledina. This request ior sewer service kas in direct conflict with Orono' s Comprehensive Guide Plan, its Conprehensive�_Zoning Code, � �nd its Comprehensive Sewer Plan. In considering this November 8th request by Vo-Tech, the Orono Co��cil spent considera}�le time investigating the Vo-Tech proposal and its iunpact on the comprehensive planning of Orono. On December 13, 1976 , the Orono City Council Page 17 S *:edina City Council ?'arch 29 , 1977 , � :�age 4 i �doptFd Resolution ,� 737, which was in res�onse to Vo-Tech' s request for sewer service. We believe that this resolution sets down many of the basic concerns of the City of Orono for the construction of an area-wide i�o-Tech School within the rural service area of our cornmunit�es. We are attaching a copy of this resolution for inclusion i_n the public record for this public hearing. In conclLsion, th2 Orono Council feels that prior to making amend- ments to our zoning codes, we should first complete the requirer�ents of the mandatory Land Planning Act. These requirements establish the adoption of a Systems Statement, which is presently being prepared by the r4etropolitan Council. This Systems Statement tells ' each of our co;nmunities how the metropolitan systems will affect our comrnunity to the year 1990. These Systems Statements must be completed by July l, 1977. Upon their adoption by the Metropolitan Council, each com�unity has �until 1980 to reevaluate its comprehensive planning in light of the Systems Statement and present to the 2�5etro- politan Council for its approval a comprehensive guide plan that will comply with the Systems State;nent. After the adoption by the Metro- ' politan Council of each co;nr.�unity' s Comprehensive Guide Plan, it then becomes necessary to implement this Comprehensive Guide Plan by amendments to the zoning codes. Orono feels that for the City of 2�edina to -amend its zoning code today allowing the construction of an ur�nizc-�d facility within the rural service area could not � possibly be consistent with your comprehensive planning or the Metropolitan Council' s regional plans. + '='he Orono Council , again, wishes to express its appreciation to the City of Medina for its invitation allowing us to ex-press our concerns concerning this proposed a1-nendr�ent to your zoning code. +� Yours very truly, Brad Van Nest ,t Orono Mayor Enclosure Council Action - March 28, 1977 Paurus moved, Butler seconded, to approve MEDINA RA ZONE Orono' s Policy Statement to the proposed changes to the R.A zone in Medina.
