A( <br /> •tyof iv ste <br /> ElkRiver MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> FROM: Steven B. Ach, City Planner <br /> DATE: September 18, 1995 <br /> SUBJECT: REQUEST TO DEVELOP WITHIN THE <br /> URBAN SERVICE AREA WITHOUT CITY <br /> WATER AND SEWER <br /> Issue <br /> At Monday night's meeting the City Council may be addressed at open mike <br /> by Dennis Chuba and Richard Kincanon. Their issue is allowing <br /> development without city water and sewer. <br /> 1111 Background <br /> Over the past couple of weeks I have been talking with Dennis Chuba and <br /> Richard Kincanon regarding a 4,000 square foot office building they would <br /> like to construct at the southwest corner of Waco Street and Highway 10, <br /> which is the western gateway to the community. This particular piece of <br /> property is within the urban service area and is, therefore, subject to the <br /> ordinance requirement that commercial development "must hook up to sewer <br /> at water if it is within the city sewer district." The three acre parcel of land <br /> that Mr. Chuba and Mr. Kincanon want to develop at this time does not have <br /> water and sewer available. The city water and sewer currently stops at the <br /> county courthouse building and does not have an immediate need to be <br /> extended any further. <br /> Staff has discussed the issues and has presented Mr. Chuba and Mr. <br /> Kincanon three options for them to continue the pursuit of developing their <br /> property at this time. These options are as follows: <br /> 1. Request an ordinance amendment deleting the requirement that <br /> commercial development within the urban service area must hook up <br /> to water and sewer; or, <br /> • 2. Request a comprehensive plan amendment removing their property <br /> from the urban service area; or, <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
