The agenda for the 12/14/87 GMPTF meeting <br /> calls for a brief review of the Draft Growth Management Plan. <br /> 4;! The second agenda item for this GMPTF meeting is to discuss <br /> future residential development . One of the main goals of this <br /> Growth Management Plan is to manage future residential <br /> development . In this regard the City is hoping to: <br /> 1 , Utilize municipal services (the sewer and water system) <br /> to' its fullest capacity. <br /> 2 . To save on expenses of other municipal services (fire <br /> and police services) . <br /> 3 . Control and manage growth in outlying sections of Elk <br /> River . <br /> 4 . To have development take place from the core village <br /> out in order to preserve open property so that it can <br /> be put to its best residential use in the future . <br /> 5 . Eliminate the "open" gaps between existing residential <br /> districts . <br /> The City has three main concerns when looking at the rapid <br /> residential growth we are currently experiencing . These three <br /> concerns are the platting of property in large lots within the <br /> • area that can be served by municipal sewer and water; the <br /> platting of property in areas that are extremely far from the <br /> core village that puts a strain on the municipal fire and police <br /> services; and the increased use of administrative subdivisions <br /> which has the potential to complicate future platting of <br /> property. <br /> 720 Dodze N.W Elk River, Minnesota 55330 <br />
