{( � ITEM 5.11. <br /> 'tyof � <br /> .lk �River MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Planning Commission <br /> FROM: Steven B. Ach, City Planner <br /> DATE: May 23, 1995 <br /> SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment by the City of <br /> Elk River, Public Hearing Case No. <br /> OA 94-7 <br /> Request <br /> The City of Elk River is requesting to amend the subdivision ordinance. <br /> Overview <br /> • Over the past several months, a complete review of the subdivision ordinance <br /> has been undertaken. A draft of some of these revisions were submitted to <br /> the Planning Commission at their April workshop meeting. Since that time, <br /> additional changes, as well as a meeting with local developers has taken <br /> place to further refine the City's subdivision ordinance. <br /> The subdivision ordinance has probably not been updated in a comprehensive <br /> manner for the past ten years. Therefore, given the amount of development <br /> occurring in the City and the need to have ordinances that will properly <br /> address the City's concerns in reviewing forthcoming development proposals, <br /> it is timely to take a comprehensive review of the City's subdivision <br /> ordinance. <br /> Changes proposed within the ordinance are threefold: <br /> • Consistency with current operating procedures - As I mentioned above, it <br /> has been several years since the subdivision ordinance has been amended. <br /> Over the years, the City's policies and approach to administering the <br /> subdivision ordinance has changed. In response to these changes as well <br /> as new trends in development and subdivision practice, or, to address <br /> pitfalls within the subdivision process the amendment is warranted. <br /> • <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
