Action Requested
Approve,by motion,a resolution finding the transfer of property to ERMU for continued use as a Government
Facility is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Background/Discussion
Earlier this year the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Plat to facilitate expansion of Elk
River Municipal Utilities (ERMU) Field Services Facility. The Field Services Facility is a Government Facility,
which is allowed with a CUP in the subject zoning district—R-1c (Single-Family Residential). The Field Services
Facility is also consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,which guides the property for residential uses as part of
the Mississippi Connections Plan.
Due diligence completed prior to recording the plat that will establish the buildable parcel for ERMU's expansion
identified the City and Village of Elk River as the owner of four parcels. In order to complete the platting process
for ERMU,the city will provide a quit claim deed to ERMU to relinquish the city's interest in these parcels.
The transfer of the parcels to ERMU requires approval from City Council and, consistent with state statute,a
resolution from the Planning Commission finding the proposed use to be consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan.
