City of Elk River Request for Action To Item Number Mayor and City Council 8.2 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by General Business Aril 6, 2015 Jeremy Barnhart, Deputy Director, COD Item Description Reviewed by Gravel Mining Plan Cal Portner, City Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested Accept, by motion, the Gravel Mining Plan. Background /Discussion The Planning Commission completed its review of the 2014/15 Gravel Mining Plan for the 2,600 -acre Development Reserve Area on March 24, 2015. The plan establishes land use goals, anticipated staging of development, and the infrastructure necessary to serve this development. A presentation to both the Planning Commission and City Council was provided on March 16, 2015. The plan identifies two areas (Phase 1 and Phase 2) that are more likely to develop first, due to proximity to city services, access, and conclusion of mining operations. The actual phasing of the mining area will be based on property owner goals. The first two phases, approximately 530 acres, propose to add 274 acres for housing (756 units), 119 acres of Highway Business (1,036,700 sq. ft. of commercial) and 133 acres (1,448,370 sq. ft.) of industrial. Once the plan is adopted, the next step is to review the cost implications of these improvements, which may influence changes to the land use plan. Approval of the Gravel Mining Plan is not an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, or a rezoning of property. Those actions will occur at a later date. Planning Commission meeting summary Planning Commission questioned the scale of the development, reviewed the transportation impacts, and noted that the action requested is not a rezoning. The Planning Commission received comments from a property owner regarding the phasing of development and the transportation plan.
