EXHIBIT 7 <br /> r <br /> EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> This study assesses the revenues and costs connected <br /> with growth at different densities in various sections of <br /> Wright County, Minnesota. In particular, the cost/revenue <br /> relationship of growth near existing infrastructure such as <br /> water, sewers, storm sewers and paved roads is compared with <br /> growth in rural areas that lack established infrastructure. <br /> Three residential development scenarios were chosen for the <br /> study : <br /> 1) a relatively high-density* development of 50 units <br /> of rental apartments, condominiums and single fam- <br /> ily homes in the City of Buffalo. The units oc- <br /> cupy a little over five acres. <br /> • 2) a subdivision of 50 units of single family two, <br /> three and four bedroom homes, each on one acre, in <br /> the Township of Otsego. The units occupy 50 acres . <br /> 3) 50 units of two, three and four bedroom homes, each <br /> on seven and one-half acres, in the Township of <br /> Silver Creek. The units occupy 375 acres. <br /> The units for the Buffalo City scenario are connected to <br /> city water and sewers. The Townships of Otsego and Silver <br /> Creek contain no established infrastructure; therefore, the <br /> units use wells and septic systems. <br /> * "relatively high density" in this case does not approach <br /> the density of highrise development found in major metro- <br /> politan areas. Rather it includes a mixture of detached <br /> houses on 1/4 acre lots, semi-detached townhouses and <br /> small apartment buildings. These densities are compatible <br /> with the character of many small cities and towns in Min- <br /> i, <br /> nesota. <br /> i <br />
