6. 09-18-1995~~r ~ ~ ~. City of ~ ilk River TO: FROM: DATE: ~~ /~~~ ~~ ~/ ~~~~ MEMORANDUM Mayor and City Council Steven B. Ach, City Planner ,~'j ~ September 18,.1995 SUBJECT: REQUEST TO DEVELOP WLTHIN THE URBAN SERVICE AREA WITHOUT CITY WATER AND. SEWER Issue At Monday night's meeting the City Council may be addressed at open mike by Dennis Chuba and Richard Kincanon. Their issue is allowing development without city water and sewer. Background • Over the past couple of weeks I have been talking with Dennis Chuba and Richard Kincanon regarding a 4,:000 square foot office building they would like to construct at the southwest cornex of Waco Street and Highway I0, which is the western gateway to the community. This particular piece of property is within the urban service area and is, therefore, subject to the ordinance requirement that commercial development "musthook up to sewer at water if it is within the city sewer district." The three acre parcel of land that 1VIr. Chuba and Mr. Kincanon want to develop at this time does not have water and sewer available. The city water and sewer currently stops at the county courthouse .building and does not have an immediate need to be extended any further. Staff has discussed the issues and has presented Mr. Chuba and Mr. Kincanon three options for them to continue the pursuit of developing their property at this time. These options are as follows: Request an ordinance amendment deleting the requirement that commercial development within the urban service area must hook up to water and sewerr; or, 2. Request a comprehensive plan amendment removing their property from the urban service area; or, 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425 3. Petition the city to have water and sewer extended to serve their • property and allow the development to occur. Besides the issue of city water and sewer, staff has also identified some issues relatang to traffic and the possible need for developing a frontage road concept similar to the frontage road currently being constructed from Joplin to Waco. Secondly, the city engineer has indicated options are still being explored to extend Waco Street across Highway 10 and ultimately, the Elk River. There is a chance that the realignment of Waco Street may involve a portion of the subject property to be developed. Allowing this type of development to occur prematurely is contrary to the city's growth management control policies and the existing zoning ordinance. Staff would encourage the City Council to carefully consider this issue because of the ramifications that will occur as a result of "premature (leap- frog) development" without any water and sewer. This situation of managing growth in the urban service area will be applicable to the east Highway 14 corridor when water and sewer is extended. Therefore, depending upon the Council's decision on this matter, a precedent maybe set, further complicating the efficiency to serve the east Highway 10 corridor with city water and sewer. • I would be happy to answer any questions the Council may have prior to Monday night's meeting. Please feel free to contact me at 441-4902, otherwise, I will be prepared to answer questions at Monday night's meeting. • s:council:chubakin ~ \ C7 ~ . i ~ ~ t _.._ t.i ~ t.i ~ ~ t%~ 1 . 1 ` _ _ > .,- I I ._ _ ~~ - -- __, __ _ _ - - ~ __= ~ __ ~ _ -- -- ~,_ - - - -- _~_ 4 __-_ __ -- _ - - __-__- _~_ ~ ~___..----- - - ~~-~ ~ - -- --_ -~ == = - -- - ~~~ _ _ r ~~_ _ _ _ ~ _ ._ ~ -_-- --- - - -- _ t i {~-} ( , ' ~ - - -- --- ---- --- ----- -- I ~ ---- --- ---- -- -r- -__.___ --- --- __ 1---------- -~------ 1 1 ` I 1 ( ~ ( I l~ i 1 ~ t t t CvUF'T I I I M f ~ ' 1 L.__ ~ -- _--~ ' I t I ~~~ r-- -~ 1 I- ~ T- I HOUSE t o ~~ I I I ------ ` ~---~ i.T I ( ~ 't t 1 ~g p0~ A~E. ~_VY~ _- 1 1 ---------- _ _ _~ 1 -' t 1 _~ ~ f _ __ _ ' - _- - -' ~_ ; ,~~.~:,;~ ~ ~I ~ i0.', ~ ~ r-~-__ --rte-I ~ .~ t i 1 ( '~ ~ ~ ~~ 1 1 1 ~~ ~ f ~ ~.-.-. ~ ~ I I !

Since z., the number of Agrar.ultural producers has declined in the tri-county-~~~;~4: area with urban d~evelapment these two offices were required to combihe. Our first offer t rent space was from the county for the previous administration blrr.g, which did not get accepted. Our other offer wasa with River Wood D=velopers in Joplin Mall. I worked with Barb QonCastei~', to try and worK o.;~: a lease agreement. River Wood stated. they wanted. :' more of a retail ~.: sines not an office. "' ~~} ;,, ,~ Our office advert~.sed again for rental space and had several affers.~ The government rec,1iires ttrat we Ioof{ at the cost to rent as a pri~aary factor along with the location to the Court House, accessibility and other factors. CFf4 offices are suppose to be located where the county seat for the count' is located. Sherburne County was decided out of the three counties because it has more producers than Anoka-Hennepin. With this location. all of our requirement would be met and the move to collocate could still be r.ompleted by the end of 1995. ~~~sd~Z ~ `~ ~~ i• ~ ~ ~~~'~ P'~ ~"'~ L~(,d,y~~ ~E.,."il • ~~ ~. ~~ ~~. • C )_ ~O .:_..
