toik <br /> River MEMORANDUM <br /> 13065 Orono PTO): Planning Commission <br /> Elk River,MN 55330 <br /> FROM: Scott Harlicker, Senior Planner <br /> DATE: October 9, 2001 <br /> SUBJECT: Case No. LUOI- 11 <br /> Request by the City of Elk River for a Land Use Plan <br /> Amendment to include certain property in the Urban Service <br /> District <br /> At the July 24th Planning Commission meeting, the Commission was asked to consider a <br /> request by Cascade Land Company to amend the Comprehensive Plan to include a 6 acre <br /> parcel in the Urban Service District. The Commission determined, after discussing the <br /> changes that are occurring in the area,that it would be beneficial to study a lager area than <br /> just the individual 6 acre parcel. <br /> • The Commission did not want to look at this area in a piecemeal fashion. Rather, the <br /> Commission felt the City should initiate a comprehensive analysis of the whole area.The <br /> area is about 80 acres and affects 8 property owners.The changes that the Commission felt <br /> warranted a comprehensive study of the area included the reconstruction of 175th Avenue <br /> and the possible extension of utilities down 175`h,the Northstar Corridor commuter rail <br /> station/MnDOT park and ride facility, and the proposed Elk River Station project. <br /> Staff is looking for the Commission's initial thoughts on this matter.The affected property <br /> owners have been notified of this meeting and hopefully some will be in attendance. This <br /> item will be presented to the Commission for formal consideration at the October 23rd <br /> regular meeting. At that time a formal public hearing will also be held. <br /> Attached is a location map, an air photo of the area, a map of the existing urban service <br /> boundary and a parcel map which identifies the affected properties and the property owners. <br /> • <br /> Phone:763.441.7420 <br /> Fax:763.441.7425 <br /> www.ci.elk-river.mn.us <br />
