I. GROWTH MANAGEMENT • A. INTRODUCTION The City of Elk River has been growing at a rapid rate since 1980 and this trend is expected to continue through the year 2000. The growth has occurred in population and an increased intensity of land use. Substantial new commercial and a residential developments have been completed while others are anticipated. Correspondingly, increased demands on public facilities and services have occurred and are expected. The purpose of a comprehensive plan and growth management strategies is to enable a city to effectively manage the challenges associated with future growth. Typically, comprehensive plans are designed to control or influence the type, rate, amount, or geographic pattern of growth within a jurisdiction. The underlying reasons for most growth management plans are related to controlling the cost of public services, to foster a particular lifestyle, and to preserve an aesthetic physical and natural environment. The City of Elk River is faced with solving many of the growth related challenges encountered by other growing communities. This Comprehensive Plan incorporates typical growth management tools as solutions to the city's long range planning efforts. The city's Comprehensive Plan is intended to guide an orderly and economically efficient development of land within the city. The salient results of this plan and its implementation will be an advanced quality of life for the city's residents, businesses and visitors. B. GROWTH CHALLENGES • There are a variety of growth related challenges with which the City must deal. The challenges include: 1. The cost of providing municipal services has been increasing due to the occurrence of numerous outlying large lot (primarily 1 and 2-1/2 acre lots) subdivisions. These large lots require police and fire protection, road maintenance, and other public services, just as smaller lot developments do. However, the large lot developments cost more on a per unit basis to serve due to the lower densities created by the geographic distribution. 2. The existing public utilities infrastructure can accommodate higher density development. This is especially true of the wastewater treatment facility which is currently operating at approximately seventy-five percent of capacity. Increased densities within the urban service district would create a more efficient use of existing facilities. 3. New commercial development along Highway 169 between Main Street and 193rd Avenue has created a new commercial focal point within the city. The city is concerned with this new commercial impact on maintaining viability of the Central Business District. Also, the city is aware of prospective commercial development which may be in conflict with the long range land use plan. These proposals will need to be carefully reviewed so as not to compromise short term needs for long range goals. 4. Limited industrial development has occurred within the city although there has been significant residential growth. It is the city's desire to increase appropriate industrial activity within the city to provide local employment opportunities and to increase and diversify the tax 410 base. • 5. Recreational needs increase with an expanding population. Providing appropriate recreational facilities requires public acquisition of strategically located, usable land or cash in lieu of land from developers for park development purposes. 6. Transportation access to part of the city is awkward due to a variety of physical barriers. The city is interested in assuring adequate transportation corridors, with special emphasis on east-west movement. C. GROWTH MANAGEMENT SOLUTION The Comprehensive Plan is a system of integrated elements which creates the barriers to negative development and incentives to positive development. It involves the use of a land use plan, zoning techniques, subdivision regulations, capital improvement programs, utilities phasing, development exaction and numerous program specific actions. D. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION A major component of this Comprehensive Plan is the orderly development of land within the city. The preparation of this plan required an extensive inventory of background information necessary to make numerous decisions pertaining to future land use and phasing. Elements within this plan include overall land use for residential, industrial, commercial, and park use. In addition, careful attention was paid to the transportation network and utilities. For each of these elements, a set of goals and policies were identified and the current status was evaluated. From this information, a plan was developed and a set of necessary actions were identified for effective implementation. The net result of this effort is a comprehensive land use • plan and a set of implementation tools with which the city will guide its future development. E. OFFICIAL DOCUMENT This Comprehensive Plan, and its components, is an official document of the City of Elk River. It constitutes the City's Comprehensive Plan pursuant to Minnesota Statutes. All future plans for land development within the city are subject to review and compliance with respect to this Comprehensive Plan and its components. II. Background Information • A. INTRODUCTION The background information in this report provides a summary of existing conditions and trends which have an impact on the future of Elk River. This section provides a social and environmental inventory and synthesis of information which describes the opportunities and constrains for future growth in the City. A careful evaluation of this information has assisted in formulating the Comprehensive Plan for the City. B. REGIONAL SETTING The City of Elk River is located 30 miles northwest of Minneapolis (Figure 2-A). It is approximately at the midpoint of the Twin Cities-St. Cloud corridor. It is also located in the southeast corner of Sherburne County and serves as the county seat (Figure 2-B). Its geographical location allows the city to enjoy the social mix of farmers, local commercial and industrial workers, and commuters working in the Metropolitan area. The city's proximity to employment centers within the Twin Cities metropolitan area promoted a commuter trend of Elk River residents. This trend was recognized in a community survey which identified 40% of the residents commute to the Twin Cities.1 ,( r✓�' This trend of commuting is further established by the 1990 Census of Population which 4V" J1S indicates that of workers 16 years and older, ( %) worked outside Sherburne sr" County. Of this_ percent, the mean travel time to work was 26.3 minutes. Although the City of Elk River lies outside the boundaries of the Twin Cities Metropolitan area and the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Council, it is inextricably tied to the social and economic influences of the Metropolitan area. Residents of Elk River frequent metropolitan centers of entertainment, retail, and employment to satisfy numerous wants and needs. The fact that the City of Elk River lies beyond the political jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Council has and does influence land development. C. HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT The importance of transportation in Elk River's history is reflected in its location at the confluence of the Mississippi and Elk Rivers. Here, on major water routes as well as oxcart trails, it developed as the agricultural supply and milling center for Sherburne and north Anoka Counties. During the railroad era, Elk River was again favorably located on a junction point. The main lines from the Twin Cities westward, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, passed directly through the the community. In addition, a Great Northern line ran north to Milaca and eventually to Duluth and the Iron Range. This central location enabled Elk River to develop farm trade service functions and stimulated economic expansion in these fields. After the booms associated with the railroads, and especially during the housing growth in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, the small towns in America located away from the major 1 Community Survey by Decision Resource , Ltd.

CROIX • Twin Cities cn WISCONSIN CARVER PIERCE SCOTT - DAK.OTA • cities slowed down, and in many cases they lost population to larger, more dominant cities. Elk River, too, was caught in this trend for a time. Today, however, it has come to share in the growth of the Twin Cities due to changes in the labor mobility, its important location at the intersection of two major U.S. highways and its affordable housing opportunities. The location of major transportation routes has played an important role in the development of Elk River. U.S. Highways 10 and 52 run directly through the City, splitting the town into north and south districts of commercial and residential land use. U.S. Highway 169 cuts through the eastern third of the City and runs north to Minnesota's lake region and resort areas. The continuous upgrading of Highway 101 will enhance accessibility to Interstate 94 providing for residential, commercial, and industrial opportunities. The location of physical features and transportation routes has affected the growth pattern of Elk River. Its geographical location is a positive factor in the continuing importance of Elk River as the county seat for Sherburne County and as a bedroom community for commuters working in the Twin Cities, who prefer to live in a rural setting. Elk River has also been a key farm service center in the past and will be an important service center for the expanded residential areas that will accompany the anticipated population increase. In 1978, the Village of Elk River and Elk River Township consolidated into one unified jurisdiction. The City's land area was increased to 46 square miles. The merger created many new opportunities for the City, as well as responsibilities to provide public services • to a larger area and growing population. Prior to 1988, Elk River struggled to manage the rapid growth it was experiencing. As a result, certain areas of the City have not developed in a very orderly manner. However, since adoption of the 1988 Growth Management Plan development has begun to occur in an orderly fashion based on the principle of growing from the central city outward. Between 1980 and 1994 Elk River experienced population increase from 6,785 to an estimated 12,811, or 88.8 percent growth during this 14 year period. Along with this population increase, significant commercial facilities have developed along the Highway 169 corridor between Main Street and 193rd Avenue. In 1988, the City initiated a public improvement project extending water and sewer into the western area of Elk River. These improvements have been a catalyst for residential and business park development. In 1993, the City also constructed a new city hall facility in this western area along the south side of Lake Orono. D. DEMOGRAPHICS The City of Elk River and Sherburne County have experienced rapid growth in population during the past two decades. The total population for the City grew from 4,000 (Elk River and Elk River Township combined) in 1970 to 11,143 in 1990, and an estimated population of 12,811 in 1994 (Figure 2-C). The Sherburne County population • grew correspondingly from 18,344 in 1970 to an estimated 51,059 in 1994. • FIRE 2-C • POPULATION TREND CITY OF ELK RIVER AND SHERBURNE COUNTY 60,000 m.. 50,00011111.11111111111111.11111111 I 0 IIII 1 40,0001110111rnllpaP.,,opoW� .411110111111r !

Population Trends • The population growth in the City from 1980 through 1994 is reflected in the growth in housing units. The number of single family units added to the housing stock increased by 1052 since 1987, while a total of 390 duplex, apartments and townhouses were added during that same time period (Figure 2-D). 2. Age/Gender The 1990 age/gender pyramid (Figure 2-E) for Elk River is typical of a growing community. The identified age groups represent a large number of people in the 5-17 and 18-20 cohort groups. It is anticipated that future residential expansion in the City will continue to attract young families with children. This growth can be expected to place increased demands on the school system and parks system, as well as other family oriented services and facilities. 3. Occupational Profile of Residents Of the 5,496 residents 16 years and older in the labor force, 1,699 (31%) were involved in the service industry. The next largest employment sector was in manufacturing with 1,186 (22%) persons. This was followed by retail trade (864 people or 9%). A summary of the industry employing Elk River residents 16 year and over is provided in Figure 2-F. There are six major occupational groupings which account for 65 percent of all • employment for City residents. The leading category of employment is administrative support including clerical with 463 persons (15.6 percent). This is followed in order by precision production, craft and repair (457 people or 15.4 percent), professional specialty occupations (365 people or 12.3 percent), machine operators, assemblers, and inspectors (33344 people or 11.5 percent), and executive, administrative, and managerial occupations (306 people or 10.3 percent). A summary of employed persons 16 years and over by occupation is provided in Table 2-G. For purposes of this report, it is assumed that the employment distribution has remained similar to that of 1990, while the total number of people in the various employment categories will be increased. 4. Income The City of Elk River has a per capita income of$14,616 in 1990, and a median household income of$37,549. Figure 2-G provides a comparison on income statistics for various cities in the northwest sector of the metropolitan region. This comparison reveals that Elk River ranks in the lower one-fourth of per capita income among the selection cities, while the highest per capita income was $17,481 in Maple Grove. From the eleven cities selected, the City ranked ninth in median household income ($37,549) while Maple Grove had a mean household income of$50,611 and the average for the 11 cities was $40,968. • -110 'ill) f;d0/j FIGURE 2-D • Clati:r111:1* NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS r 1980 - 1994 YEAR SINGLE FAMILY TWIN HOMES TOWNHOUSES APARTMENTS TOTAL 1980 26 0 0 0 26 1981 29 0 22 0 51 1982 30 0 34 0 64 1983 64 2 0 0 66 1984 76 4 16 0 96 1985 118 10 14 82 224 1986 149 14 8 126 297 1987 213 14 0 122 349 1988 236 0 20 61 317 • 1989 198 4 0 56 258 1990 125 8 0 131 264 1991 107 0 4 0 111 1992 107 8 0 23 138 1993 122 2 2 53 179 1994 157 18 0 0 175 TOTAL 1757 84 120 654 2615 Source: City of Elk River, Building and Zoning Annual Report 1994 • FIGURE 2-E • POPULATION DISTRIBUTION 1990 Total Population 11,143 Sex MALE 5,538 FEMALE 5,605 11,143 Age (in years) Female Male Under 5 1,032 489 543 5-17 2,582 1,2 0 1,352 18-20 493 2,510 2 243 21-24 616 313 303 25-44 3,965 1,980 1,985 45-54 1,086 536 550 55-59 307 140 167 60-64 252 131 121 65-74 404 241 163 75-84 275 187 88 85 and over 131 108 23 11,143 5,605 5,538 • Median Age Elk River 28.9 years Sherburne County 28.6 years State of Minnesota 32.5 years Race Number Percent White 10,989 98.62% Black 19 0.17 American Indian, Eskimo or Aleut 53 0.48 Asian or Pacific Islander 49 0.44 Other Race 33 0.29 TOTAL 11,143 100.00% Source: 1990 U.S. Census • Figure 2-F • INDUSTRY OF EMPLOYED PERSONS (Employed Persons 16 years and older) Number of Elk River Residents Agricultural, Forestry and Fisheries, Mining 120 2.2% Construction 479 8.71% Manufacturing 1,186 21.58% Transportation, Communications, and 434 7.9% other Public Utilities Wholesale Trade 200 3.63% • Retail Trade 864 15.72% Finance, Insurance, and 384 6.98% Real Estate Services 1,699 30.91% Public Administration 130 2.37% 5,496 100% Source: 1990 U.S. Census • • Table 2-G OCCUPATION OF EMPLOYED PERSONS LEmployed Persons 16 years and older) Sherburne County % of Elk Residents Elk River Residents River Total Managerial and Professional 4,318 1,212 22.04 Specialty Occupations Technical, Sales & Administrative 6,111 1,771 33.22 Support Occupations Services Occupations 2,671 645 11.74 Farming, Forestry, & Fishing 492 120 2.2 • Occupations Precision Production, Craft, 3,084 875 15.92 and Repair Occupation Operators, Fabricators, 3,734 873 15.88 and Laborers 20,410 5,496 100% Source: 1990 U.S. Census IP FIGURE 2-G • INCOME CHARACTERISTICS - 1990 Median Household Per Capita Income Income (1989) Andover 15,464 46,515 Anoka 14,148 31,289 Brooklyn Park 15,541 40,018 Champlin 14,872 43,218 Coon Rapids 14,669 42,069 Dayton 15,944 41,770 Elk River 14,616 37,549 Maple Grove 17,481 50,611 Osseo 13,363 31,518 Ramsey 15,387 46,101 Rogers 14,459 40,000 AVERAGE 16,491 40,968 METRO Source: Bureau of Census, 1990 Census of Population • General Population Characteristics of Summary Tape File 3 E. DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS • The City's land area provides both opportunities and constraints for physical growth and development. The following discussion identifies the areas of natural features within the City including soils, slopes, vegetation, hydrology, and previously developed land. These areas provide both challenges and opportunities for development. 1. Restrictive Soils Lprge areas of wet soils (Figure 2-H) with high water tables are predominant throughout the eastern, western and northern parts of the City. Development and construction in these areas would most likely require soil correction and may influence whether the land can feasibly be developed. These areas are considered restrictive and will require thorough analysis with respect to urban development. 2. Gravel Mining Gravel producing soils (Figure 2-I) are prevalent in the central part of the City. Some of this land has already been mined and is in the process of being reclaimed to a usable terrain. In total, the gravel mining district encompasses 2,743 acres. While some of this area is currently being mined, other areas are designated (zoned) for future mining. It is anticipated mining in the northern part of the city will continue for approximately 75 years. These areas are considered moderately restrictive with respect to development because of their natural resource value and/or current use for mineral extraction. Once gravel mining is completed the opportunities for development will be considered based on the properties' zoning designation. A complete Environmental Impact • Statement for the entire gravel mining district was completed in May 1994. Additional information relating to the gravel mining district and associated restrictions may be obtained by reviewing Appendix of this comprehensive plan. 3. Slopes Large areas in a band from north to south through the central portion of the City are restricted by slopes in excess of seven percent (7%) (Figure 2-J). These areas are considered less attractive for commercial and industrial developments which require large tracts of relatively flat land. Much of this land would be suitable for residential developments utilizing large lots directed toward upper income households. These areas present challenges for development to maintain appropriate street grades and save natural features. In some cases slopes are severe enough to restrict any type of development; therefore, the best use would be natural open space. 4. Significant Wooded Areas The City is endowed with some large areas of mixed deciduous/coniferous forests. These forested areas (Figure 2-K) are dispersed throughout the city in various sizes. Since one of the goals of the Comprehensive Development Plan is to "Develop, preserve, and protect environmental resources ," these areas should receive special attention to ensure a degree of preservation. These areas are considered moderately restrictive with respect to development, however, when incorporated into the design of the project can be a natural asset to preserve the City's rural character. • 5. Hydrology There are wetlands as identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and flood plain along the Mississippi River, Elk River and Trott Brook which also limits development (Figure 2-L). This affects land in the southern part of the City where there is currently development pressure. The floodplain encompasses the floodway and flood fringe. Each of these districts restrict certain uses which places constraints on development potential. Land within the 100 year flood plain should be used for agricultural and recreational purposes or wildlife preserves. Residential, commercial and industrial development should not occur in these areas except for accessory uses such as parking areas and landscaped areas. As was mentioned in the discussion of soils, there are substantial areas with high water tables causing wet and poorly drained soils. Development of these areas will be limited due to high cost associated with soil correction, and avoiding groundwater pollution. Groundwater plays a significant role in the location and intensity of development. Figure 2-M was generated from information provided by the Minnesota Geological Survey from their Quaternary Hydrogeology Study dated 1979. Quaternary Hydrogeology deals with the water-bearing characteristics of the layer of materials which are located between the area's bedrock and the topsoil. Area 3 generally has the highest ratio for a sand and gravel mixture in the City. This area produces 3 to 4 times the amount of groundwater as does Area 1 and up to 300 times the amount in Area 2. Area 1 subsurface characteristic creates a high sensitivity for groundwater contamination. Groundwater contamination in this area also has potential for seepage • into the Mississippi River with resultant river contamination. Area 3 also contains the landfill. Intense urban development should be avoided in Area 1 until municipal sewer and water is provided. 6. Existing Development Existing development within the City is concentrated in the southern and central areas (Figure 2-N). The core city is nearly fully developed with smaller urban sized lots and concentrated commercial facilities radiating out into the urban service area. Considerable leap-frog residential development has occurred to the north and northwest of the core city, with lot sizes of one, two and a half, and five acres. There is also evidence of ten acre lots in the outlying agricultural areas along the county road network. These rural subdivisions present constraints relative to the extension of municipal services and necessary road improvements. The city's current growth management policies will deter this type of development pattern from occurring. 7. Development Constraints Composite By superimposing the various development constraints maps, it is possible to identify land masses considered restrictive to development. Figure 2-0, entitled Developable Lands, displays land restrictive to development as well as lands available for development. Visual inspection of Figure 2-0 reveals large areas of restrictive lands, however, this map is a general description of those areas and may best characterize areas which will impose challenges for development. F. EXISTING LAND USE • The City has a total area of approximately 28,190 acres. This land has been designated for a variety of integrated land uses on the Land Use Map (1995) (Figure 2-P) and the Zoning Map - 1995 (Figure 2-Q). An inventory of acreage for the land uses is presented in Figure 2-R (Land Use Evaluation). Based on the Generalized Land Use Map, the acreage associated with the broad land use categories are: 1. Agricultural 19,560 acres (69%) 2. Residential 5,520 acres (19.6%) 3. Commercial 660 acres (1.3%) 4. Industrial 1,250 acres (4.4%) Based on the Zoning Map, the acreage associated with the broad land use categories are: 1. Agricultural 9,266 acres (33%) 2. Residential 16,526 acres (5.8%) 3. Commercial 853 acres (3%) 4. Industrial 1,545 acres (6%) An important factor in the land use evaluation is the amount of severely restrictive land in each category. This information is also available in Figure 2-R. For example, in R-1A zoning district, there are a total of 11,492 acres. Of this area, 1,642 acres (24%) is considered restrictive and will have to be further assessed for development potential. 111 IP il . 1i 11 I! 11 li 11 11 II k 11 11 k I 1! 11 li li li li li h iElo .,......„. 7,4111141111146 . 1 teat_ ) 414.0.41,1„ . =V ith if nr r.-------1 =L.,. 4.11L- • -...... *15 lift--;._' -.•••." ........_ .1 . il ..) if IIII1 u.eurs . 1 Mel Mar-- /4 • - -- 111111 fl....M__16_ L I• -'-'n nib , I • . :. . . 111"441 — 7 ----- I ' ....__ 1 - / _._ Alat.i.'1 .

C. CURRENT STATUS The City currently provides sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water to a portion of its residents. The status of each system is as follows: 1. Sanitary Sewer The city's wastewater treatment plant was originally constructed in the early 1960s. It is located between U.S. Highway 169 and the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks near the UPA power plant. It was reconstructed in 1978. In 1994, the City undertook the first phase of a major upgrade. With these improvements, they constructed a trickling filter tower which restored the plant's original hydraulic design capacity to 1,040,000 gallons per day. The plant is currently treating approximately 700,000 gallons per day, or about 70 percent of capacity. The second phase of the current upgrade is scheduled for 1996 and would raise the hydraulic design capacity of the treatment plant to 2.2 million gallons per day. The system currently serves approximately 1,680 residents, commercial, and industrial users within its service area. The system is comprised of 29.7 miles of sewer line along with 11 lift stations. • 2. Water System IIIThe city has five wells from which it draws water. One well, located at Jackson Avenue and Fourth Street, is no longer used because of the sand content of the water is produces, and also, there is not treatment on this well. This well should be abandoned in the future. The other four wells are located at Highway 10 at the Chamber of Commerce site, at the Cretex property near Burlington Railway, at the Gary Street site, and in the Hillside Estates Addition. Each of the four active wells also has a water treatment plant associated with it for iron removal. Currently, the city flouridates but does not chlorinate its water. tiricir)42 The system also has five water towers, two of which are phased out. They are the 100,000 gallon towers located on Jackson Avenue at Fourth Street and at the Cretex site. The other three towers are located near the School Administration Building along Highway 169, Gary ;; ynk Street near Highway 10, and in the Hillside Estates Addition. The pipe network ranges from a maximum size of 24 inches down to 4 inch diameter. The c system is comprised of 46.4 miles of watermain. 3. Storm Drainage 4- a1c' .Id The city has a Comprehensive Storm Drainage Plan which guides the construction of storm drainage facilities within the city. Currently, there are three major districts where facilities have Ai been constructed. These consist of the Central City where a detention pond located in Lion's 3 fY Park and a pipe network drain the area to the Mississippi River, discharging at the location of .Z��' Main Street and TH 10. The second drainage district is the 169 Corridor, where some of the trunk 1;)'b t ID lines have been constructed. There are future improvements needed as development p p continues in this district. The third area is the Western Area of the city. First and second phases L of this drain through a large diameter storm sewer to Lake Orono. Other storm sewer facilities in the city consist of smaller diameter pipes, county ditch system, and isolated wetland areas. D. PLAN The Utilities Plan includes an expanded urban service area (Figure 3-C) and a phasing component for a systematic extension of water and sewer services. Expansion of the existing ,� Qv facilities in an orderly manner will serve two purposes: 1) it will allow for urban density n expansion in additional parts of the city at a cost effective rate, and 2) it will increase the '2e (1.V utilization of the sanitary sewer and water facilities, thus spreading costs over a larger population. \-ibe. *:\1444 i t;oP Phase I expansion is targeted to occur before 1993. This five year expansion is to be west of the /p existing urban service area between the Mississippi River and the Elk River (the western area), and east of Highway 169 between Elk Hills Drive and 197th Avenue. The western area should �" be serviced as soon as economically feasible. Phase II expansion is targeted to occur after the completion of Phase I. Any expansion is contingent upon the city's determination that there is readily available a cost effective method by way of which to extend those services to the serviced properties without undue burden to the taxpayers. All future development within the boundaries of the planned urban service district will require immediate hookup to the water and sanitary sewer systems except for the residential area between the Elk River, County Road 35, Meadowvale Road and the western boundary of the `, IIcity which will require overlay plats for future development. �� " E. NECESSARY ACTIONS 0 1. A feasibility study must be completed to determine the feasibility of mainline construction, project costs, and methods of paying the costs, to two to three areas of the city. 2. Analysis of the User Charge System and city ordinances as they relate to operation and maintenance of existing facilities. 3. Adherence to the assessment policy for the extension of water and sanitary and storm sewer facilities. 4. Update capital improvement program to coordinate an orderly extension of facilities into new areas. • Figure 3-A Map of Existing Sanitary Sewer 1995 • 410 FIGURE 3-B • EXISTING WATER SYSTEM - 1995 1.

INTRODUCTION As the metropolitan area continues to grow, Elk River will be faced with a demand for residential development. The city recognizes these development pressures and is poised to provide a variety of residential housing opportunities. Most importantly, orderly development will enhance the opportunity for cost effective extensions of municipal services. B. GOALS The following is a summary of the city's goals and objectives as they relate to residential development. 1. GOAL: Encourage the development of a quality residential community which retains a semi-rural atmosphere while accommodating growing housing needs. POLICIES: • Guide the type and location of development to achieve an orderly development pattern consistent with the semi-rural character of the community. • Continue the low-density residential development pattern through the use of open space areas and the designation of buffer areas between non-compatible land uses. • • Encourage a mix in housing opportunities in terms of costs and size while encouraging a high degree of architectural and site planning integrity. • Provide for, in appropriate circumstances, a Planned Unit Development (PUD) approach which, through the use of varying site design standards, allows for creative residential development balancing the desires of the city and development community. Z ✓ >1• s Ce r 41..tzt, 2. GOAL: Ensure residential developments provide adequate facilities to maintain an efficient level of service. POLICIES: • Adhere to an assessment policy for the extension of water and sewer lines to accommodate new development. The policy shall provide for equitable assessment of the improvement costs while protecting the city's taxpayers and financial commitment. • Upgrade all local streets to a design standard that is consistent with surrounding conditions or city standard. • Require that all developers provide roads and utilities to city specifications before city assumes ownership and maintenance responsibilities. S • Require developers of new residential areas to either dedicate a park or • playground site, or make a payment in lieu of dedication to the City's park improvement fund. • Provide storm sewers to those areas no longer adequately drained by natural systems. 3. GOAL: Develop, preserve and protect environmental resources such as wetlands, water bodies and their shorelines, within the City with respect to open space, recreational uses, water and air quality and natural ecosystems. POLICIES: • Restrict insensitive development of shoreland, wetlands and drainage ways by requiring larger lot sizes and open space.. • Restrict inappropriate alteration of significant natural contours and soils. • Preserve natural systems through acquisition, dedication or easements. • Require that development plans demonstrate a compatibility with natural features and systems. • Establish tree preservation and protection standards to maintain the integrity of the � City's natural vegetation. xi ht • C=lew f , me -?,.�'= fly 4. GOAL: Preserve, maintain artd r strengthen the physical and visual qualities unique to the community. POLICIES: • Reserve through purchase, easement, dedication or other instrument, public access to wetlands, lakeshore or other natural preservation areas. • Work with developers to preserve existing natural open space areas. • Require that developers provide a buffer areas between differing, non-compatible land uses. 5. GOAL: Provide an appropriate, reasonable, and enforceable system of development controls and implementation programs for the guidance of future land use in the City. POLICIES: • Update zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations to ensure appropriate development of residential land throughout the City. • Maintain a rural density within the undeveloped areas of the urban service district to allow for efficient extension of municipal services. • 6. GOAL: Encourage and promote a balanced mix of housing opportunities throughout • the City's urban service area. POLICIES: • Ensure that persons or groups of persons of similar income levels have a wide range of housing choices available to them, regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, marital status, status with regarding to public assistance, or familial status. • Provide a Fair Housing Statement to all developers who request approvals from City Hall. C. CURRENT STATUS The City's existing land use map displays four residential classifications including agricultural, low density residential, medium density residential, and high density residential. A summary of land use for the respective categories is as follows: Residential Zoning Minimum Lot Size Land Use Designation Designation Sewered Unsewered Agricultural A-1 Agricultural Conservation N/A 10 Acres • Low Density R-1A Single Family N/A 2 1/2 Acres R-1 B Single Family 12,000 sq. ft. 1 Acre R-1C Single Family 10,000 sq. ft. R-1 D Single Family 14,000 sq.ft. R-1 E Single Family 20,000 sq.ft. Medium Density R-2A Townhouse 6,000 sq. ft. R-2B Townhouse 5,500 sq. ft. High Density R-3 Multi-Family 4,500 sq. ft. R-4 Townhouse 2,500-4,000 sq. ft. Figure 4-A illustrates the city's current housing characteristics. In total there are 4,754 residential units. This number includes all single family, two family, mobile housing units and multi-family. One of the housing characteristics that stands out is 22% of the city's total housing stock is multi- family (3 units or more per acre). Figure 4-B is a list of existing multi-family projects throughout the city. A majority of the multi-family dwellings are located along School Street between Proctor and Jackson. In comparison to other communities this number is relatively high. However, the vacancy rate in 1994 was only 2% (Figure 4-C) indicating a strong demand for this housing opportunity. Another important element of the city's housing inventory is the availability of housing opportunities which are subsidized by the state. According to a 1993 report from the St. Cloud Housing and Redevelopment Authority, 216 units (5.1% of the total housing units) qualify for a • subsidized program.

PLAN • The following plan for future residential development does not significantly alter the developing pattern of the City. Rather, it is intended to guide growth in a way which provides City officials effective policies with which to assess and work for the level of services and quality living environments the residents of Elk River expect and deserve. Figure 4-D illustrates three zones in which the different growth guidelines have been mapped. Zone 1 is located within the urban service district and provides for urban development with lot sizes between approximately one-fourth (1/4) and one-third (1/3) acre. All future residential development within the boundaries of the urban service district will require hookup to the water and sewer systems in order to subdivide and develop land. The one exception is that area between Elk River, County Road 35, Meadowvale Road and the western boundary of the City which will require overlay plats for future development. Residential development within the urban service area will consist of an appropriate mixture of housing opportunities. Through the application of zoning and development guidelines, varying density of housing is planned to create compatible residential environment. The downtown commercial zone should be an area where creative housing opportunities are offered. This residential influence will diversify the land uses in the downtown and add to its vitality. Although a lot of the housing within the urban service area is new the city will have to develop programs to maintain the integrity of its existing housing stock. This is particularly important for the multi-family and other rental units in the community. The deterioration of these units can have serious effects on surrounding neighbors, public health and public safety concerns. • Residential development in Zone 2, will be guided to a minimum density of one housing unit per two and a half acres. This area is currently not planned to be serviced with municipal services. However, the City may amend its comprehensive plan in the future to have municipal water and sewer extended to serve portions or all of this area. If these services and their related costs are extended through the area many landowners may want to further subdivide their land. Therefore, the City should encourage overlay plats illustrating future development potential. Zone 2 can be considered the transition zone between the urban service area and the agricultural zone. This zone offers the semi-rural flavor with lot sizes varying from 2/ acres up to 80 acres or more. To preserve this semi-rural character cluster development will be encouraged. Zone 3, the northern third of the City, is to be regulated so as to provide for large lot, rural housing and agricultural land uses. Single family lots can be subdivided from larger parcels to a development density of one unit per ten acres. Maintaining the larger lot size will protect agricultural lands from development pressure and preserve the rural character of Elk River. Cluster development will also be encouraged within this residential area. The city may offer increased housing density in exchange for public open space through dedication, land trust, conservation easement or other similar methods. E. NECESSARY ACTIONS 1.

INTRODUCTION The City is concerned with providing a variety of commercial opportunities for retail and office use and ensuring the vitality of existing commercial centers. This will encourage a broad base of employment and business opportunities which will strengthen the economic self-sufficiency of the community. B. GOALS 1. GOAL: Encourage the development of a quality community which retains a semi-rural atmosphere, while providing necessary commercial development to serve a growing residential population. POLICIES: • Guide the type and location of development to achieve an orderly development pattern consistent with the growth management policies of the community. • When appropriate, provide for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) approach which, through the use of site design standards, allows for a mix of compatible commercial and residential development. • Plan for commercial development in areas that can utilize an appropriately • designed transportation system without infringing upon residential neighborhoods. 2. GOAL: Maintain and encourage the continuation of a well-designed employment and business opportunity in close proximity to the community. POLICIES: • Allow commercial areas to develop where they can be designed to be compatible with surrounding land uses. • Direct future commercial development to those sites which support and strengthen the existing downtown area. • Limit development of strip or scattered site commercial operations along the City's major roadways. • Allow commercial expansion within the urban service area only when services are immediately available. • Evaluate all proposals for commercial development to determine impact on the municipal utility system. 3. GOAL: Preserve, maintain and/or strengthen the physical and visual qualities unique to the community. • POLICIES: • • The urban scale of development shall be consistent with surrounding land uses and general character. • Adhere to controls for the size and placement of signage and landscaping for commercial applications within the City limits. • Commercial development should include adequate buffering when adjacent to aye non-compatible land uses. 4. GOAL: Encourage development opportunities and provide economic vitality to the downtown central business district. POLICIES: • Consider adjusting, where possible, development standards and building codes to encourage new construction as well as remodeling. • Utilize the Mississippi River as an attraction and focal point for the downtown. • Establish design standards and other infrastructure improvements which have a common theme to strengthen the character of the downtown. • C. CURRENT STATUS Commercial Zones The City has three (3) commercial zoning designations in effect. The designations are as follows: a. Central Commercial (C-1) b. Office District (C-2) c. Highway Commercial (C-3) *d. Business Park (BP) *This district is primarily light industrial district, however, allows limited commercial that is service oriented. A complete inventory of land zoned for commercial development is illustrated in Figure 5-A. 2. Central Business District The downtown or Central Commercial (C-1) district is comprised of approximately 55 acres of land extending in all directions from the intersection of Highway 10 and Jackson Avenue (Figure 5-B). This district extends along the Mississippi River and Highway 10 for approximately four blocks. There are also "fingers" that cross the • Burlington Railroad to the north. A cursory review of a City map will reveal the reasons which dictated the location of Elk River's Central Business District. The Mississippi River and a bridge crossing, together with the rights-of-way of U.S. Highways 10 and 169 and • the Burlington Northern Railroad, all converge upon Elk River's downtown. Although these arteries of travel and commerce have in varying degrees at different times provided the city with economic opportunities for growth, because of their locations they have also physically restricted the options for the central business district's expansion inasmuch as they are formidable obstacles and tend to set the boundaries of the contiguous central business district. Main Street west of Highway 10 provides access central to the city's central business district and its various businesses, financial institutions, shops and professional offices. It is a wide street capable of accommodating on-street parking and adequately meeting traffic circulation requirements. The major opportunities for central business district expansion are westerly along Main Street into an existing residential district that is experiencing some transitional uses, and the contiguous area between Main Street and U.S. Highway 10. The downtown area has recently begun to go through a transition period adjusting to the impacts of regional commercial activity along Highway 169. Change also accompanies growth, and accommodation is necessary if the vitality of a community is to be maintained at a high level. As the economics of the retail, business, and industrial sectors of a society change, so must the facilities, neighborhoods, and cities adjust to these new realities. The economic and functional life of a building is not synonymous with the physical life. Adaptive reuse of structures is determined by their highest and best use regardless of the purposes for which they were originally constructed. Government's role in a free market society is to facilitate, coordinate, and manage • growth and change in order that the community as a whole derives the maximum benefit therefrom and no person, business, group, neighborhood, or sector of the community unfairly subsidizes or is infringed upon in the process. The central business district transition process will be ongoing, gradual, and orderly. Several former residences have been converted to real estate and professional office types of uses. It is felt this can be in the best interests of the community, and through the use of appropriate zoning and possibly incentive programs, can be further accommodated without excessively detracting from adjacent residential properties. 3. Office District The office district is basically set up to accommodate governmental, business and professional offices, and other financial related businesses. The two identifiable office corridors extend east along Main Street and north along Jackson out of the downtown area (Figure 5C). The Main Street corridor between Highway 10 and Highway 169 has recently had development activity which included removing single family homes and constructing new low profile office space. This corridor has a considerable amount of potential to become a high quality office corridor, both visually and in terms of its location. East Main Street also provides the link between downtown and the Highway 169 commercial corridor. The Jackson Avenue corridor extending north from the downtown area has a few office buildings on the south end, however, is primarily undeveloped at this time. This corridor once again has the potential to link the downtown to regional commercial activity • between Highway 169 and Jackson Avenue. 4. Highway Commercial • The highway commercial zoning district is considered the most intensive commercial district. This zoning district is primarily found along the Highway 10 and Highway 169 corridors (Figure 5-D). The purpose of this zoning district is to provide high impact commercial uses that typically require access onto the highway system and may provide commercial opportunities for a broader area than the City of Elk River. Recently, the Highway 169 corridor has received a lot of attention by large commercial developments. This highway commercial development has the greatest impact on the rural fabric of the community. The intersections of Highway 169 and Main Street, School Street and 193rd Avenue all provide optimum opportunity for commercial. As considerations for extending water and sewer east along Highway 10 materialize, additional opportunities will arise along this corridor. However, until water and sewer is made available, the eastern corridor of Highway 10 will be susceptible to less intense land uses moving from communities further east along Highway 10. D. PLAN 1. Central Business District The Central Business District expansion includes peripheral expansion of the core area westward and infill of commercial activity between Gates Avenue and Highway 169. • Specialized retail activity should be directed to the "downtown" area in the vicinity of Jackson and Main Streets. Professional office and service facilities should be encouraged to provide redevelopment and infill along each of the corridors extending outward from Jackson and Main. Issues facing the downtown have been discussed by many groups. The Elk River Area Chamber of Commercial CBD Task Force has formulated an action plan to ensure the vitality of the Elk River Central Business District is maintained. The task force plan is attached as Appendix 2. Office District The Main Street corridor between Highway 10 and Highway 169 should continue to redevelop into office, medical and financial uses. Emphasis on locating parking areas to the rear and placing buildings close to Main Street will enhance the visual streetscape and pedestrian scale of this corridor. The office district extending north along Jackson should continue to the School Street intersection. Since this corridor will have residential on the east side, the type of office/retail use developed on the west side of Jackson will have to respect its residential neighbor. In order for these two office corridors to be successful the city will have to partner with the private sector to facilitate the redevelopment efforts. Furthermore, office development should be "limited" along the Highway 169 and Highway 10 corridor and 1111 encouraged along the Main Street and Jackson corridor.

Highway Commercial • Highway Commercial has the greatest impact on Elk River because of its size, associated traffic and impact on surrounding land uses. Therefore, future commercial development will have to be reviewed in terms of its appropriate location, design, visual impact to the highway corridor and compatibility with the community. The plan is currently designed to limit commercial development along Highway 169 from extending further north than the 194th alignment. This "line in the sand" is the point \' 417 where highway commercial will begin to transition into more compatible land uses with '-& the existing natural characteristics and residential homes. With the availability of water and sewer of new commercial development Highway 169 between Highway 10 and 194th Avenue will continue to blossom into the Elk River commercial retail corridor. The planning and development of this corridor will need to be carefully reviewed to prevent the appearance of "strip commercial" and maintaining a high level of aesthetic quality. Highway 10 has two distinct corridors, the east and west. The east corridor currently does not have water and sewer available. However, the plan calls for municipal utilities to be extended sometime in the future. The extension of utilities will be determined based on market demands and financial ability to serve this area. In the interim, the key for east Highway 10 will be to limit commercial growth today allowing future extension of utilities to occur in a cost effective manner. Also, without city services land values will be slightly less and, therefore, attractive to less intense uses such as open sales lots, mini storage facilities, etc. Conversely, west Highway 10 was included in the urban service area when the 1988 Growth Management Plan was adopted. Utilities are incrementally being extended to serve the western area. The commercial activity along west Highway 10 is planned to occur primarily at intersections with Highway 10. For example, Proctor Avenue, Joplin and Waco are all planned to be signalized intersections where commercial activity could be developed with good accessibility and minimizing impact on surrounding land uses. Commercial activity along west Highway 10 will be best characterized as neighborhood or community oriented. In other words, the larger scale commercial developments found along Highway 169 are not intended to occur along west Highway 10. The commercial uses are designed to benefit surrounding residential areas, the business park and office development and convenient service demands of external traffic. 4. Neighborhood/Community Commercial The city doesn't have a "transitional" commercial district that typically occurs in areas to serve an immediate neighborhood or a sub-area of the community. This type of commercial activity could be more compatible then highway commercial with surrounding land uses. Establishment of this type of commercial district should be considered to diversify commercial opportunities within the community. Once again, the location of this type of commercial should be located at intersections of collector • streets minimizing conflicts with surrounding land uses.

INTRODUCTION The City is concerned with providing an appropriate industrial base to supply jobs for its residents and to ensure a strong tax base. There is a need for lands designated for industrial use to ensure ample opportunity for a wide variety of industrial applications. B. GOALS The following is a summary of the City's goals and objectives as they relate to industrial development. 1. GOAL: Maintain and encourage the continuation of well-designed employment and business opportunities in close proximity to the community. POLICIES: • Limit development of strip or scattered site industrial operations along the City's major roadways. • Encourage industrial expansion in close proximity to existing services. • Evaluate all proposals for industrial development to determine impact on municipal and natural systems. • • Industrial development should be located next to adequate transportation system. 2. GOAL: Preserve, maintain and/or strengthen the physical and visual qualities unique to the community. POLICIES: • Establish controls for the size and placement of signage, screening, noise and other visual concerns for industrial operations within the City limits. • Require that developers provide for buffer area between differing, non-compatible land use, whenever possible making use of the natural land characteristics. • Encourage well designed buildings that are visually consistent with the surrounding area. C. CURRENT STATUS 1. Industrial Zones The City has three industrial zoning designations in effect. The designations are as follows: a. Light Industrial (L1) b. Medium industrial (L2) c. Business Park (BP) • A complete inventory of land zoned for industrial development is illustrated in Figure 6-A. D. INDUSTRIAL PLAN • There are four focal points to the Industrial Plan. These include: 1. Infill of the existing industrial areas served by sewer and water, 2. Preserve land for development of a business park along west Highway 10 between Joplin and Waco Street, 3. Consider light and medium industrial development opportunities in the southeast sector, 4. Utilize the gravel mining area as future industrial opportunities. a. Industrial Areas served by Sewer and Water The industrial areas served by sewer and water (Figure 6-B) are primarily designated for light industrial and business park use. Rail access is available to Elk River Industrial and McChesney's Parks via Burlington Northern Railway while truck access is available via County Road No. 1 and Meadowvale Road, respectively. The first phase of the business park is accessed by Highway 10 and Joplin Street. This business park area was started in 1995 and will provide a wide variety of opportunity in the coming years. b. Highway 10 Business Park The plan identifies a business park along the south side of Highway 10 between Joplin Street and Waco Street (Figure 6-C). The business park zoning standards allow for a mix of commercial and light industrial uses. Access will be provided via a frontage road connecting Joplin and Waco. • The general land use configuration should consist of commercial nodes at the Joplin/frontage road and Waco/frontage road intersections. The land area between these intersections will be the light industrial component of the business park. An additional area that may be considered for business park development is the county fairgrounds site which lies immediately southeast of the Joplin frontage road intersection. c. Southeast Sector There are currently several large parcels of land in the southeast area zoned for light and medium industrial. The plan endorses a continuation of this zoning designation and preserving these industrial opportunities. Although water and sewer is not available at this time it is envisioned this area will provide future opportunities. In addition to the areas currently zoned for industrial the plan identifies potential sites that should be rezoned for industrial (see Figure 6-D). One of these areas is along the south side of Highway 10 between 167th and the Oliver Kelly Farm. It has been recommended this area be considered for business park development. d. Gravel Mining Area North of the existing urban service area is where a considerable amount of gravel 411 mining is occurring. Although this mining is scheduled to continue for 25 to 50 years, th future use of the property could be industrial. 19 1.40 7 • e. County Road 13/County Road 12 An area identified for potential industrial zoning is an area approximately 150 acres in size at the intersection of County Road 13 and County Road 12 (Figure 6-E). This area is within the urban service boundary and is relatively close to existing utilities. However, there may be some issues associated with transportation and land use compatibility. E. NECESSARY ACTION 1. Designation of industrial areas on the City's Land Use Map. 2. Designation of industrial areas on the City's Zoning Map. 3. Review development standards to assure maintaining a quality industrial sector. • • Figure 6-A • INVENTORY OF INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY • TOTAL ACRES ZONED INDUSTRIAL 1,532 ACRES • 0 Light Industrial - 877Acres 0 Medium Industrial - 524 Acres 0 Planned Unit Development (Business Park) - 131 Acres ♦ TOTAL ACRES DEVELOPED 719 ACRES ♦ TOTAL ACRES VACANT 813 ACRES 0 Restrictive Areas for Development - 147Acres 0 Gravel Mining Area (Not in Prod.) 140 Acres 0 Property Owned by Cargill - 233 Acres TOTAL 520 ACRES ♦ TOTAL NET ACRES AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT 293 ACRES • TOTAL ACRES WITHIN CURRENT URBAN SERVICE AREA 636 ACRES 0 Developed - 423 Acres 0 Vacant - 213 Acres 0 Restricted - 117 Acres 0 NET AVAILABLE ACRES - 96 ACRES ♦ TOTAL ACRES OUTSIDE CURRENT URBAN SERVICE AREA 896 ACRES 0 Developed - 296 Acres 0 Vacant - 600 Acres 0 Restricted - 30 Acres 0 Gravel Mining Area (Not in Prod) 140 Acres 0 Property Owned by Cargill 233 Acres • 0 NET AVAILABLE ACRES - 197 ACRES I� Ia ;- 1Imyi-1 iZ Io o I= I-I i� —i; I� • / u 0. 8O ed. ,. — _ / .:oma „AP: �j O " .;, oz. . - �" 6 1 - V PRIVATE f I.

PARKS AND OPEN SPACES A. INTRODUCTION The anticipated growth of the city during the next 20 years will dictate a need for additional park and recreation areas. The city recognizes this need and also recognizes many existing opportunities to create an appropriate park and recreation system of which a trail system would be a part. Large parcels of undeveloped land exist in areas surrounding the urbanized core. The intent of the Master Park Plan (an addendum to the city's comprehensive plan)is to identify land which should be preserved for recreational purposes as development takes place within the city. B. GOALS The following is a summary of the city's goals and objectives as they relate to parks and recreation. 1. GOAL: Encourage the development of quality residential community which retains a semi-rural atmosphere. POLICIES: • Continue the low-density residential development pattern through the use of open }6 space areas and the designation of buffer areas between non-compatible land GPS( /" uses. 2. GOAL: Provide and maintain adequate and efficient levels of public services within the community. POLICIES: • Create and maintain a trail system that allows for safe pedestrian movements throughtout the city and provides access to parks and other open spaces with active and passive recreational opportunities for residents in all age groups. • Maintain and improve the city's existing public recreation facilities. • Require developers of new residential areas to either dedicate public open space or make a payment in lieu of dedication to the city's park improvement fund. 3. GOAL: Develop, preserve and protect environmental resources, such as forest, wetlands, water bodies and their shorelines, within the area with respect to open space, recreational uses, water and air quality, and natural ecosystems. POLICIES: • Restrict development of shorelands, wetlands, and drainage ways. • Restrict alteration of natural contours and soils, and restrict removal of natural vegetation. • Preserve natural systems through acquisition, dedication, or easements. • Require that development plans demonstrate a compatibility with natural features 1111 and systems. • 4. GOAL: Preserve, maintain, and/or strengthen the cultural, social, historical, physical and visual qualities unique to the community. POLICIES: • Reserve through purchase, easement, or dedication, public access to wetlands, waterways, lakeshore, or other natural preservation areas. • Work with other public and private agencies to identify, preserve, and protect, sites • of historical, architectural, and cultural significance. • Work with developer to preserve existing natural open space areas. • Require that developers provide for buffer area between differing, non-compatible land use, whenever possible making use of the natural land characteristics. C. CURRENT STATUS The city is endowed with significant recreational assets in the form of rivers and lakes. The Mississippi River has long stretches of undeveloped land along its shores. This land is conducive to development into park land and trails for active and passive recreational use. Also, the Elk River and Lake Orono provide opportunities for active and passive water related recreation. Following is a summary of parks and associated facilities located within the city (Figure 7-A). D. PARK PLAN • It is the City's desire to provide a variety of passive and active recreational activities and opportunities for its citizens. Therefore, the City desires to improve the existing parks and develop new parks consistent with future overall growth patterns. Priority items identified by the City include: 1) Development of existing neighborhood parks and area wide parks to effectively serve the recreational needs of the population (see Master Park Plan for classification for criteria of Parks). 2) An integrated trail system for pedestrian and bicycles which effectively ties together existing and proposed parks and other public areas. 3) Acquisition of land for future parks. The long range parks and trails plan (see Master Park Plan) considered natural features, existing development and projected development. Features considered favorable for park land include: forested areas, wetlands, shoreland of lakes, streams and rivers and abandoned railroad beds. Designated locations of parks on the Park Plan are generalized in nature and are subject to review as land develops. • FIGURE 7-A • CITY PARKS 1.

INTRODUCTION It is assumed that automotive transportation will serve as the predominant mover of people and goods in the future. For this reason, the transportation plan focuses on ground transportation and network of streets and highways. The primary concerns of the City are: to ensure property east-west and north-south arterial corridors that tie in effectively with the existing transportation infrastructure, and the orderly development of the infrastructure to ensure economic efficiency of construction and maintenance. B. GOALS The following is a summary of the City's goals and objectives as they relate to transportation: 1. GOAL: Provide and maintain adequate and efficient levels of public services within the community. POLICIES: • Upgrade all primary local streets to hard-surface, all-weather roads. • • Require that developers provide roads to city specifications before city assumes ownership and maintenance. 2. GOAL: Support a regional transportation system which offers convenient and adequate service within and through the area. POLICIES: • Provide for off-street parking within the commercial area to reduce vehicle congestion. ,rte-6-6 -ei ( / , • Implement an intersection and traffic control program through the use of signage and signals. • Encourage a high level of efficiency, productivity, and quality of service in modes of transportation between Elk River, surrounding communities and the Metropolitan areas. • Provide frontage roads to reduce access points along major thoroughfares. • Provide collectors and local streets as appropriate to provide links to the existing system. • /0/ ,e, etz," ...1 c'• • d /4. 761-eja•'/X7' • .�� Te 4 — a �� 3. GOAL: Explore the opportunities for an east-west corridor. • POLICIES: • Establish a joint committee with representation from the City of Elk River, Sherburne County, Big Lake Township, Anoka County, Wright County, City of Otsego and Mn/DOT. (2 r c c» l f r/CfiJ�� ice. Zt f'- / .�r c'� A im r'�!, ' ' � c-.''.u. • Citizen representation and Park and Recreation Commission involvement in '�` '4- establishing establishing east-west route. / fJCL 2err 47,4- V. 0. f • The selected route must be sensitive to existing residential homes, environmental areas, wetlands, existing public parks, and open space. ti flC'G • The selected route should assist in alleviating anticipated traffic problems from roads that are identified as being deficient in the transportation system. • Existing roadways and right of way shall be used as much as possible to minimize costs for right-of-way acquisition. • Selected route should fit into the county's transportation plan. C. CURRENT STATUS Although no interstate freeways traverse the City, there is access to 1-94 approximately seven miles south via State Highway 101. This segment of Highway 101 is currently a two lane 411 highway; however, is scheduled for upgrading to a four land starting in 1996. U.S. Highways 10 and 169 coverage at Elk River and intersect with Highway 101 in a south central location of the City. Highways 10 and 169 serve as major arterials serving the city in an east-west and north- south alignment. (See Table 8-A for a description of route classifications.) The existing County Highway system provides access to the Central Business District and other activity centers. County Roads 1, 13, 21, 32, and 33 are considered minor arterials while others are considered collectors. Figure 8-A displays the arterials and existing and proposed collector system. The existing network is often perceived as awkward and insufficient with respect to traffic movement across the City. The primary concern is with current lack of east-west corridors and a lack of strategic north-south corridors. Furthermore, as development continues along Highway 169 and Highway 10 additional traffic is creating unacceptable levels necessitating various road improvements. D. TRANSPORTATION PLAN The transportation plan calls for an integrated network of major and minor arterials, collectors and local streets to serve the city. the city recognizes a need for an east-west corridor to better serve projected traffic volumes. Since the major and minor arterials are currently in place, the plan focuses on necessary collector links to tie the existing system together. Other considerations of the plan include local streets, a parking system, frontage roads, public transportation, and park and ride facilities. • I. Collector Links • The plan calls for addition of the following collector links (see Figure 8-A for corresponding letters): A. 221st Avenue between County Road 32 (Meadowvale Road) and County Road 1 (Elk Lake Road B. 221st Avenue between U.S. Highway 169 and County Road 21 (Brook Road) C. 205th Avenue between County Road 33 (Quincy Street) and County Road 13 (Twin Lakes Road) D. 201st Avenue between County Road 1 (Elk Lake Road) and U.S. Highway 169 E. 1 jd Avenue between U.S. Highway 169 and County Road 13 (Twin Lakes Road) F. Waco Street between U.S. Highway 10 and County Road 35 G. Frontage between Waco Street andJoplin St. H. Fillmore Street between 175th Avenue and 165th Avenue Connection between Highland and County Road 1 (Elk Lake Road) immediately east of the Burlington Northern Railroad bed • J. Connection parallel to the east side of Highway 169 between 197th Avenue and 193rd. 2. Local Streets The local street system is deployed within the grid of collectors and arteries. The intent of this plan is to ensure a complete and interconnected street system. All plats will display the location of streets such that they connect with existing or proposed streets adjacent to the subject property. 3. Parkway System Trails The city desire to provide an interconnected parkway system including a trail system for non- motorized transportation. Portions of the trail system will be incorporated into the existing and proposed corridor system with off-street surfaces. 4. Frontage Roads The plan calls for frontage roads and limited access along U.S. Highway 10 and 169. The purpose of this plan element is to enhance traffic safety along the City's major thoroughfares. 5. Public Transport Although public transit is not provided by the City, there is a perceived need for such services. • The City encourages private transit companies to provide necessary intra- and inter- urban services. Connections are necessary to major local and metropolitan activity centers for shopping, employment, transportation. Specifically, there is a perceived need for services to • airports. 6. Park and Ride Facilities The city recognizes the need for park and ride facilities due to a substantial resident population with a workplace in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The impending population growth will require the development of additional facilities strategically located within the City. E. NECESSARY ACTIONS 1. Designation of proposed roadways on the city's transportation plan. 2. Coordinate efforts with Sherburne County and Minnesota Department of Transportation. 3. Establish budget for acquisition and improvement of collector streets. 4. Include corridors in the City's capital improvement program. Modify municipal aid system in accordance with transportation system. 5. Require appropriate land dedications or improvements as surrounding properties are developed. 6. Amend subdivision regulations to require urban street design. • • IX. IMPLEMENTATION • A. INTRODUCTION Implementation of the Elk River Comprehensive Plan includes the following elements: the text and maps, with particular emphasis on the 1995 Comprehensive Land Use Plan; official controls under the Minnesota Municipal Planning Act, including ordinances regulating zoning and subdivision of land in the city; a capital improvements program; and an economic development program. Other official controls of the city which contribute in part to implementation of the Comprehensive Plan include the entire Elk River City Code. This document contains the Land Use Plan adopted by the city in , 19_. The other elements, although separate from this document, constitute essential implementation tools for effective growth management. The city will undertake to examine its official controls and other implementation devices to determine whether amendments or refinements to the official controls are appropriate. B. TOOLS 1. LAND USE PLAN The land use plan is an official component of the Comprehensive Plan and is intended to have legal effect according to the Minnesota Municipal Planning Act. Adoption of the Comprehensive Plan constitutes adoption of the Land Use Plan. It serves as a policy guide to the physical development of the City. The Land Use Plan encompasses all geographic parts of the city and the functional elements of future development. The • functional elements of the Land Use Plan are its land use designations including: residential, commercial, industrial, parks and open spaces. Land Use Classification (1) Public (P). This land use is intended to identify public facilities (2) Open Space (OS). Areas designated for open space include parks and open space. (3) Flood Plain (FP). This area is defined as the 100 year flood plain. Land within the 100 year flood way should be used only for agricultural purposes or wildlife preserves. Residential, commercial, and industrial development should not occur in these areas. (4) Agriculture (A). Agriculture land use allows agricultural and horticultural uses and single family residential use with minimum lot size of 10 acres, or a 10 acre per unit density achieved by way of planned unit development. (5) Low Density Residential (LR). Low density residential land use allows single family residential use with a minimum lot size of two and one-half (2 1/2) acres of which one (1) contiguous acre must be buildable. Low density residential districts are not intended for extension of municipal water and sewer. All residential development within this'district must conform to Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Individual Sewage Treatment Standards(6 MCAR, Sec. 4.8040 et seq.) • together with its appendices for on site sewage disposal. For simplicity, these Standards are referred to in the remainder of the Growth Management Plan as • WPC-40 regulations. (6) Medium Density Residential (MR). Medium density residential land use guides single family residential use with a minimum lot size of approximately one-third (1/3) acre. All medium density residential land lies within the urban service district. All development within these areas requires connection to municipal sewer and water, except that certain areas may be developed on one acre minimum lots without connection to municipal sewer and water provided that the owner must provide an overlay plat showing how the lots may be further subdivided in the future when sewer and water is available. The medium density residential area will also accommodate multi-family structures including duplexes and townhomes within prescribed zoning districts. (7) High Density Residential (HR). The high density residential land use guides multi- family development including apartment buildings. All high density residential land lies within the urban service district. All development within these areas requires hook-up to municipal water and sewer. The maximum number of dwelling units per acre is twenty-two (22). (8) Central Business District (CB). The Central Business Districts guides professional and business offices, financial institutions, retail shops and stores, taverns, hotels and restaurants. IT is an area of high visibility and transition. Renovation and redevelopment within the Central Business District will need to be encouraged by the city. • (9) Community Commercial (CC). The Community Commercial District is designed to provide for commercial opportunities to serve a smaller trade area than regional commercial. Uses will typically be both service oriented and provide convenience shopping. The Community Commercial land use is the appropriate designation to implement the commercial element in Business Park zoning. (10) Highway Business (HB). The Highway Business District is an automobile oriented service district consistent with C3 zoning. All development of highway business within the urban service district is required to hook up with municipal water and sewer. (11) Light Industry (LI). Light industry land use allows offices, enclosed storage and warehousing, research laboratories and light manufacturing. Light industrial development within the urban service district is required to hook up to municipal water and sewer. Light industrial is the appropriate land use to implement the Business Park zoning. (12) Medium Industry (MI). Medium industry land use guides for contracting yards, grain and feed elevators, lumber yards, concrete products processing, processing of natural resources, and truck terminals. Medium industrial development within the urban service district is required to hook up to municipal water and sewer. • Land Use Evaluation • This computer analysis evaluates the available development land in various categories and percentages in light of the categoriP --4--' Ind Use Plan. The information is provided in Figure ''n. -Z 1 2. ZONING ORDINANCE The Land Use Plan and the zoning ordinance be However, the plan indicates only broad categories for genera ,ning ordinance delineates exact boundaries and specific uses fc ming ordinance specifies the detailed regulations within the vario _..,., ice serves as a primary tool for the implementation of the Comprenensive Plan. The purpose of the zoning ordinance as defined by Section 900.02 of the City Code is: To protect and promote the health, safety, morals and general welfare by lessening congestion in the public rights-of-way; securing safety from fire, panic and other dangers; providing adequate light and air; facilitating the adequate provision of water, sewage and other public services and facilities, conserving the values of properties and encouraging the appropriate use of land; promoting well-managed and staged development of residential, commercial, industrial, recreation and public areas; conserving and managing the use of natural resources and agricultural lands. The purpose of the zoning ordinance also includes the purposes set forth in the Minnesota • Municipal Planning Act. 3. SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS Subdivision regulations are ordinances adopted by the city governing the process of converting raw land into building sites. They are authorized by the Municipal Planning Act, Minn. Stat. , Subdivision of the statute sets forth the authority and purposes of the subdivision regulations. The city has adopted subdivision regulations, currently codified in the Elk River City Code, Section 1008. The primary control device is a mandatory plat approval procedure, under which a developer is not permitted to make improvements or to divide and sell land until city approval is obtained for a plat detailing the proposed design, dedicated lands, and street and utility systems of the subdivision. The subdivision regulations serve an important role in implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. They enable coordination of otherwise unrelated plans of a great many individual developers. They assure that provision is made for such major elements of the land development plan as rights-of-way for transportation corridors, parks, water and sewer lines, and surface water management systems. Also, they enable control of the internal design of each new subdivision so its pattern of streets, utilities, drainage systems, lots, and other facilities will be safe and economical to provide and maintain. To ensure conformity in standards, the City should review its subdivision regulations with respect to the goals, policies, plans and actions specified in this Comprehensive Plan. This review should take into account, but not be limited to, lot sizes and frontage requirements. • 4. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM The city's capital improvements program is an integral tool for implementation of the Comprehensive Plan because it provides for an orderly extension of water and sewer service. In doing so, it influences the location, timing and intensity of urban development. The city's capital improvements program should be revised to reflect the changes identified in the Utilities and Transportation Sections of the Comprehensive Plan. 5. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Economic development plays a vital role with respect to the commercial and industrial development of the city. The city has an Economic Development Authority pursuant to Minnesota law which acts to promote the city's industrial and commercial growth. The city has further hired an economic development coordinator to act as professional staff to both the City Council and the Economic Development Authority in its endeavors to promote the city's industrial and commercial opportunities. Pertinent sections of the Comprehensive Plan provide and identify additional opportunities for location of new or expanded industrial and commercial uses with excellent access to Highways 10 and 169. Development of these areas will enhance the employment base as well as the tax base of the City. • APPENDIX II - DATES OF MEETINGS TO UPDATE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Date Group, Topic March 23, 1994 City Council/Planning Commission Discuss update of plan April 27, 1994 Steering Committee Introduction May 25, 1994 Steering Committee Industrial Development July 14, 1994 Steering Committee Commercial Development August 25, 1994 Steering Committee Intro. to Residential- North Planning Area September 22, 1994 Steering Committee Transportation/Utilities October 27, 1994 Steering Committee Southwest Planning Area December 1, 1994 Steering Committee Southwest Planning Area/ Central Planning Area January 12, 1995 Steering Committee Southeast Planning Area February 9, 1995 Steering Committee Park Plan/ Residential Housing • March 9, 1995 Steering Committee Urban Service Area March 23, 1995 Steering Committee Urban Service Area/ Transportation April 6, 1995 Steering Committee Transportation Plan April 20, 1995 Steering Committee Industrial/Commercial Development, Downtown May 4, 1995 Steering Committee Industrial Development May 25, 1995 Steering Committee Commercial/Industrial Development June 15, 1995 Steering Committee Commercial Development, Downtown July 6, 1995 Steering Committee Residential Development July 27, 1995 Steering Committee Residential/Parks Plan August 17, 1995 Steering Committee Review Committee Recommendations
