Background/Discussion
In February,the Council directed staff to develop a scope to develop land use plans in the (Commercial
Reserve Transition) CRT area. A`mining area study"is included in the 2014 budget,part of which is paid
for from the Utility Fund.
In speaking with other communities and colleagues re-using former mining areas, a necessary early step is
to understand the services to be provided, and if water and sewer are to be provided, the infrastructure
constraints of a given area,including elevations and access. Land use assumptions are part of the answer
to each of these questions;the level of detail is optional.
Staff assumes that water, sanitary sewer,and regional storm water treatment will be included in the
mining area, serving both sides of Highway 169. Staff also assumes that a general land use plan will be
necessary,with a FAST type plan (access locations, development vignettes) would be developed at a later
time, funded by the property owners. Due to funding and timing constraints, staff assumes that the focus
will be on the east side, the current CRT area.
With confirmation of these assumptions, staff will prepare an RFP for Council authorization that will:
1. Develop a general land use plan
2. Complete a comprehensive sanitary sewer collection system plan
3. Complete a comprehensive water distribution system plan,primarily for the east side,but on the
west side, to the extent necessary
Financial Impact
The Capital Improvement Plan includes $40,000 for this project.
