FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: This memo is to remind Council of the Special Meeting scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, April 12, 1988, at 4:30 P.M. in the City Hall Council Chambers to discuss the following: 1.

After this was done, we went back to the beginning and determined which department or department's had the primary responsibility for carrying out or achieving each particular goal. The results of the workshop and the aforementioned exercise is attached to this memo for discussion on Tuesday's meeting. The next step in the process is to have each department corne up with a work program and time table to achieve the goals. The work program development may take a little time because of the "newness" of the program and the need to carry out the routine but time consuming duties related to our jobs. However, I believe we will be able to accomplish a number of the goals in a timely manner because of the nature of the goals or because we are already working on some of them (e.g. Policies and Procedures Manual, recycl i ng program, computeri zed payroll program). I would like the tOlihave the Council discuss and approve the attached summary Tuesday night. I would also like the Council to consider either re-prioritizing some of the goals or at least recognize that some of the goals can be accomplished before others even if they have a lower priority. I believe the Council understands this but it might prove useful to discuss it anyway. Nile CITY HALL: 216 NORTH FOURTH STILLWATER, MINNESOTA 55082 PHONE: 612-439-6121 ..... 1.

As noted in the report, the Council's primary concern is with the provision of sanitary sewer service to the land parcel. If you need additional information, please contact Robert Overby at 291-6381.

GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES A. Total Acreage Oak Park Heights = 1,142 acres . Bay town Township = 6,500 acres (1982) .' 2 B. Soils and Terrain . The Bay town Township Comprehensive Plan identifies the area in which the proposed annexation s located as generally flat to gently reI ling land in the central porti n, with araas of steep slopes, ridges and hills in the eastern and western portions. There isa mixture oj soil types, with prime agricultural soils located in the eastern one-h'lf of the area and non-agricultural soils in the western portion. Th re are two areas that contain wet soils and high water tables, these being ocated in the northeast corner and south-central parts of the area to be annexed. The soil suitability for on-site septic systems is described as slight or moderate in the western one-h~lf of the area, and severe in he eastern portion. This should not be a problem if the area is serviced by the Oak Park Heights sanitary sewer system. ] III.LAND USE I Area Proposed for Antexation The current land uselof the area proposed for annexation is as follows: A. - commercial fu niture business in the far northwest corner, along 'Highway 36; - a platted sub ivision (about 10 acres) directly east of the furniture sto esite; - a platted res dential subdivision (about 20 acres )in the southeast corner of thel area;, - an auto salvafe yard is shown in the 1981 Bay town Comprehensive Plan as beingllocated in the north-central part of the area; and - undeveloped arricul tural land or open space in the remainder. , The Bay town TownShiP~comprehensive Plan proposes commercial land uses along the entire nor hern frontage with Highway 36 and extending 0.25 miles south; low-density r sidential land uses in the eastern one-third of the remainder of the are~; and agricultural land uses in the western two-thirds of the remaining arer to be annexed. The Oak Park Heights] Comprehensive Plan includes a discussion of annexation as part of its propo~ed land use plan. The plan for contiguous future land uses proposes a strip of "mixed use" to be located along the Highway 36.., corridor (this WOuld~be along the northern edge of the area to be annexed), and proposes "urban esidential" in the balance of the area proposed for annexation (up to on -half mile west of Oakgreen Avenue).

TRANSPORTATION The site proposed for annexation is located immediately adjacent to the south side of Trunk Highway 36 and extends from one-half to three-fourths mile west of Oakgreen Avenue. The area extends south from Highway 36 . for one half mile, except for west of the intersection of Washington Avenue where the first one-quarter mile is not included, but then extends from one-quarter to one-half mile south. Described legally, the area for annexation is most of the northeast quarter of section 5 and the southeast quarter of the northwest quarter of section 5, Bay town Township. 4 .. . The Bay town Township Comprehensive Plan identifies Highway 36 as an . intermediate arterial; Oakgreen Avenue as a collector road; and 56th Street, 55th street ~nd Novak Avenue as local roads. No problems were identified with the ~egional highway system as a result of the proposed annexation. . . V. SEWERS Oak Park Heights Oak Park Heights had la 1987 sewer flow of .353 mgd and has a planned 1990 sewer flow of .426 mad, based on the city's 1980 Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan. . I , Sewage from Oak Park 'Heights is treated at the Stillwater treatment plant. There is sufficient reatment capacity'to handle the proposed additional sewer service area a this time and in the near future, with the planned improvements to the ti1lwater plant. However, there is a discrepancy between the projecte 1990 sewage flow of .426 million gallons per day (mgd) in the Oak Par Heights Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan and the Council's proposed 1 90 treatment capacity allocation of .386 mgd, as noted in the February 1988 draft Water Resources Management Wastewater Treatment and Handlin Polic Ian. The city of Oak Park Heights may comment on the sewage treatment all cation data in the Council's draft policy plan, as part of the formal p blic hearing and comment period; or the city may present information s part of a future comprehensive sewer policy plan amendment to demonst ate why the 1990 (and 2000 and 2010) allocations should be changed to I'reflect the growth that is planned for Oak Park Heights. I . Also, the city of Oa 1) an amendment to i Area limits to inclu an amendment to its staging of sewer ser by the Council befor Park Heights will have to submit to the Council: s Comprehensive Plan changing its 1990 Urban Service e the area proposed for annexation; and 2) prepare omprehensive Sewer Plan describing the timing and ice to the area. Both amendments must be approved sewer service can be provided to the annexed area. VI. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Plan Reviews , i Council review of th~ Oak Park Heights Comprehensive Plan was completed on May 14, 1981. Counc~l review of the Bay town Comprehensive Plan was completed on August 112, 1982. The Council has not 1eceived a plan amendment for the proposed annexation. I I I I . .. 5 . B. Consistency with Local and Regional Plans 1 . Local Plans The Oak Park Heights Comprehensive Plan includes the area proposed for annexation as an area that is planned for future annexation and for sewer service. However, the city does not include this area in its 1990 urban service area. The city would have to submit a plan amend- ment to the Council to create a new year 2000 urban service area boundary, and must receive Council approval of the plan amendment before sewer service is extended to the annexed area. The city's comprehensive sewer policy plan would also have to be amended. The Bay town Township Comprehensive Plan shows this area as remaining in the township to 1990, and plans to serve this area with on-site septic systems. 2. Regional Plans The city of Oak Park Heights is part of the Stillwater Freestanding Growth Center. A freestanding growth center is a larger urban center that is located within the rural portion of the seven-county Metro- poli tan Area. . In the 1986 Metropolitan Development and Investment Framework (MDIF), freestanding growth centers are described as follows: "The Council considers the freestanding growth centers as detached portions of the metropolitan urban service area and as areas that are intended to accommodate regional population and emplopyment growth that might otherwise occur in unserviced areas. Where additional land is needed to accomodate growth, the community should extend municipal municipal services in a staged, contiguous manner, consistent with their ability to provide such services. Annexation through an orderly annexation agreement is the preferred alternative, when the additional land is in an unincorporated area." The Council's policy" supports urban-density resident:i.al, commercial and industrial development in freestanding growth centers" and "will make investments in metropolitan systems serving freestanding growth centers based on the fully developed and developing area policies, as applicable" . Appendix B of the 1986 MDIF includes principles and procedures that the Council will use in reviewing a request by a local government for a change in its local urban service area. (a) Increasing the size of an urban service area: . "The Council will not agree to expand a local urban service area unless there is demonstrated regional need and adequate capacity available in the metropolitan sewer and highway systems. If the local land supply is below or approaching the five-year overage and regional facilities are adequate, the Council will agree to a service area expansion. The local government then R0009 ...' 6 ilt completes a comprehensive plan amendment incorporating the change. " ! When submitting ~ comprehensive plan amendment, Oak Park Heights ~ust address whether Ithe amount of vacant, developable land in the city is less than a fiV~ year supply adequate to meet growth needs. If the amount of land 's less than a five-year supply, then Council policy would support the annexation as proposed. Data from 1980 at the Council indicates that there were two parcels of vacant or undeveloped land in Oak par~ Heights that totalled about 130 acres. The t~~ parcels are loc ted in the northwestern part of the city and south of Highway 36. Some of the 130 acres has been developed since 1980. The Council will work with the city to verify how much of the 130 acres remains availabl!e for development. ! (b) Changing thel configuration of an urban service area: If there is (ore than a five year supply of land, the Council policy would be to "consider land-trade proposals involving vacant, deve, opable land adjacent to the urban service area, provided me~OPOli tan systems are not adversely affected". If there is a fi e-year or greater supply of vacant, developable land, then Council policy would indicate that a trade of land in the existing local urban service area be considered in order to offset the 195 acres to be rnnexed.. While the sewer ~lOW capacity exists to service the area proposed for annexation, Ithe city of Oak Park Heights must submit a plan amendment to th~ Council before sewer service for the area can be approved.
