Item# 6.4. <br /> eity of � MEMORANDUM <br /> Elk • <br /> River TO: Planning Commission <br /> FROM: Steve Ach, City Planner <br /> „,,X- <br /> DATE: September 30, 1997 <br /> SUBJECT: Consider Comprehensive Plan <br /> Amendment to Adjust the Urban <br /> Service Boundary, Public Hearing <br /> Case No. OA 97-10 <br /> Issue <br /> The City of Elk River has initiated a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to <br /> consider adjusting the urban service boundary in the eastern part of Elk <br /> River. <br /> • Location <br /> The area considered to be included in the urban service boundary is bordered <br /> by County Road No. 12 on the north, Tyler Street alignment on the west, <br /> 175th Avenue on the south, and Fillmore Street on the east. <br /> Background <br /> This item was presented to the Planning Commission on July 22nd where <br /> public testimony was received from concerned residents. One of the residents <br /> presented a letter from the concerned citizens within the proposed area to be <br /> included in the urban service area (see attached). At that previous public <br /> hearing meeting, one of the issues the residents raised related to the timing <br /> of the when utilities would actually be extended to serve this area. As staff <br /> pointed out at that meeting, a time schedule could be included as part of this <br /> amendment preventing any further extension of utilities into this area until <br /> a certain date. For example, based on the number of developable acres north <br /> of County Road No. 12 and the expected timetable to develop this area, the <br /> area proposed to be included would not have to be served for at least another <br /> 10 years. Therefore, if the area was included in the urban service boundary, <br /> a notation could be made that no utilities would be extended in this area <br /> • <br /> until the year 2007. <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
