• RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF
A LAND USE PLANNING GRANT APPLICATION

10, 52 and 169. In addition, Minnesota trunk Highway 101 crosses the

dential and commercial development in the area which will continue at
an increasing rate; and

inadequate to regulate the growth of the City of Elk River as newly
created; and

land use for residential , commercial , industrial , institutional and
public purposes. The former Township of Elk River contains land use

WHEREAS, existing zoning in the former Township immediately adjoining the former
City of Elk River must be changed to reflect possible urban densities
and urban streets and utilities; and

tems, which is presently permitted, presents a potential problem of
ground water pollution, and hence pollution of drinking water; and
WHEREAS, the subdivision of land in areas lying outside of the boundaries of
the former City of Elk River by way of metes and bounds legal des-
criptions, private streets or streets not accepted for maintenance
by the City has created and continues to create growth management and
record-keeping difficulties for the City of Elk River; and
WHEREAS, requirements imposed by the Municipal Planning Act, the designation of
the Mississippi River as being subject to wild and scenic rivers regu-
lation and the desire of the City of Elk River to accomodate growth
in a rational and efficient manner require that the City Council pre-
pare and recommend for hearing and adoption amendments to its compre-
hensive plan and ordinances, regulations and progrmas governing the
land use and development within the City of Elk River; and

hensive Capital Improvement Program cannot be formulated and imple-
mented without financial assistance;
