COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ SECONDED THE MOTION. <br />THE MOTION CARRIED 4-0. <br /> <br />6.15. City of Elk River Request for Ordinance Amendment Relatinq to Development <br /> Prior to Water and Sewer <br /> <br />City Planner Steve Ach indicated that the City of Elk River has initiated an <br />ordinance amendment which would allow commercial and industrial <br />development within the city's urban service district prior to the availability and <br />hooking up to city sewer and water. He explained that this ordinance <br />amendment is being initiated in response to a request from LeFebvre Trucking <br />and Morrell Trucking to relocate their businesses along the east Highway 10 <br />corridor at 171st Avenue. Steve Ach explained that this location is within the <br />urban service district which does not allow development to occur prior to the <br />availability of sewer and water. The City Planner further explained that <br />adoption of this ordinance would open all land within the urban service area to <br />development, which would be in direct conflict with the city's growth <br />management guidelines. The City Planner suggested that the City Council <br />consider other options to accommodate the needs of the trucking operations, <br />other than an ordinance amendment. He suggested the possibility of a <br />planned unit development designation for the area. <br /> <br />The Council discussed the issue and felt it would be best for staff to research <br />other options. <br /> <br />Mayor Duitsman opened the public hearing. There being no one for or against <br />the matter, Mayor Duitsman closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ MOVED TO DENY THE REQUEST FOR AN ORDINANCE <br />AMENDMENT TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE ALLOWING DEVELOPMENT OF <br />COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY WITHIN THE URBAN SERVICE DISTRICT <br /> <br /> <br />
