ORDINANCE 95-30
CITY OF ELK RIVER
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM OF
THE APPROVAL OF CERTAIN SUBDIVISIONS WITHIN CERTAIN
AREAS OF THE CITY OF ELK RIVER
The City Council of the City of Elk River does hereby ordain as follows:
e
Section 1. Purpose. The City Council is nearing completion of the
process of updating the City of Elk River Comprehensive Plan. It is
anticipated that this process will take an additional four (4) months. One of
the major issues that will be discussed during this process is the extension of
City water and sewer services. The most likely direction for extending
utilities is to the east and southeast of the present sanitary sewer and water
area, to serve the commercial and industrial areas along east Highway 10
and the residential areas along the eastern edge of the City. Extending
utilities to the east and southeast will require a substantial City investment
in trunk facilities and improvements to the City's waste water treatment
plant. The City's ability to finance these facilities and improvements will
depend on its ability to assess benefited properties which will be sel'Ved by
the new trunk facilities and plant expansion.
The most difficult properties to assess when extending municipal
utilities are large residential lots from two to ten acres. Properties which fall
in this category are expensive to serve with utilities for a single residential
unit, and are difficult to subdivide so that the cost of the utilities can be
spread over multiple units. The City has experienced this problem in the
past and is acting to prevent this from happening again so that this type of
residential development does not prevent the extension of utilities to serve
the commercial and industlial areas along east Highway 10 and the
residential areas along the eastern edge of the City. The Metropolitan
Council also recommends that rural areas which are intended to be served
with municipal utilities be restricted to ten acre minimum lot sizes for
residential lots.
This interim moratorium ordinance is therefore adopted to protect the
integrity of the comprehensive planning process and the health, safety, and
welfare of the Citizens of Elk River by assuring that development within the
affected areas of the City does not prevent the extension of utilities into these
areas if the Comprehensive Plan is amended to provide for such extension.

Section 2. Moratorium declared. During the term of this ordinance
and any extensions thereof, a moratorium is hereby imposed pursuant to
which no applications for subdivisions of land into residential parcels less
than ten acres in size shall be accepted or considered, and no such
subdivision shall be approved by the City Council, for any property which
cannot be served by existing sanitary sewer and water facilities and which is
located within the area identified in the Comprehensive Plan as the
expanded urban service area (see attached Exhibit A).
Section 3. Term. This ordinance shall be effective upon publication
as provided by law and shall terminate 120 days thereafter, unless extended
by action of the City Council.
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Elk River, this
18th day of December, 1995.
