Memo to the Planning Commission/Morrell May 27, 1997 Page 3 • • Developer sign a waiver of rights to appeal future assessment for sewer and water based on the new structure or the sufficiency of the existing well and septic. • Developers agree to pay trunk water and sewer costs based on the determined rate for the eastern area. • Developers agree to hook up to city sewer and water within 2 years after service becomes available. The proposed rezoning from light industrial to planned unit development can be considered based on the following findings: • The rezoning and proposed development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan to establish an industrial corridor along 171st and the new north/south corridor. • The rezoning will allow Morrell Transfer to move their operations from their current site at the corner of Jackson Avenue and School Street which poses a health and safety issue. • The rezoning is consistent with the city's economic development strategy to promote business retention within the community. Preliminary Plat • The preliminary plat includes about 25.5 acres bounded by 171st Avenue on the north, Burlington Northern Railroad tracks on the east and undeveloped property owned by Cargill on the west and south.

The actual north boundary of the plat is 16 feet south of the north line of S 1/2, NE 1/4 , Section 11. The city owns the property from the edge of the right-of-way to a line 16 feet south of the above described line. The plat should be revised to show this. The plat also includes a strip of land, approximately 700 feet long and 56 feet wide, along the west side of the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks. The strip is owned by Cargill and used to access their property on the east side of the railroad tracks. The plat should be revised to show this. Access to the property will be from 171st Avenue. Improvements to 171st Avenue were included as part of the Lefebvre Companies development at the corner of 171st Avenue and Ulysses Street. The property is currently undeveloped but contains an unimproved dirt drive that Cargill uses to • access it's property on the east side of the railroad tracks.
