CITY OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum CASE LOG NO.: NA TO: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: R...Michael Leek, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Workshop Discussion of Workload Priorities and School Site Selection MEETING DATE: November 29, 2005 INTRODUCTION: As the Council knows, ISD 720 has been actively pursuing two elementary school sites, one of which they desire to open in the Fall of2007. Two ofthese sites (the Bluffs at Marystown and Shutrop South) are part of larger proposed developments which will require substantial new water infrastructure to serve them. Based on recent experience with the Countryside development and the new high school, staff expects that either one ofthese sites alone would be very challenging to review, get approval on, and meet the District's target ofa Fall 2007 opening, especially in view of already programmed or anticipated projects in the engineering, parks, and planning areas Staff has requested the opportunity to discuss development and workload priorities, as well as school siting issues with Council. It is hoped that this discussion will yield clear direction from the Council regarding the projects on which the Council wishes to focus the City's limited fiscal and staff resources. DISCUSSION: From 1996 until about 2003, new development could take place in areas where infrastructure could be relatively easily extended, i.e. at TH 169 and CR 18, and in the vicinity of Marschall Road and TH 169. There are now essentially three areas where new development can occur. Those areas and the challenges that each pose are described below. . Eastern Shako pee: Up until the early 1990's, much of this area was contemplated to be developed with City sewer and water. Since 1994, the SMSC has acquired about 800-1000 acres ofland in this area, which essentially renders it unavailable for private development on City sewer and water. A question that continues to face the Council in this area ofthe City is what steps it is willing to take to insure that private development on City services occurs on the remaining parcels that are not in SMSC ownership. . Southern ShakoTJee: Three are essentially two large challenges to bringing private development to this area of Shakopee. First is the need to extend a costly sanitary sewer line down CR 83 from about CR 16 to Valley View Road. Without this line, the City does not have a good way to serve developable parcels to the south. The second challenge relates to H:\CC\2005\workshop 11292005rev.doc 1 the large number of residences on ISTS in this part ofthe City, which may not presently or in the near future benefit from City sewer, but which in the future may wish to hook up. . Annexation Areas: The City and Jackson Township currently have an orderly annexation agreement (OM), but that OM does not contain (and is in need of) a development phasing plan. This would give property owners in the Township greater predictability as they deal with potential developers and provide for more systematic programming of City services and infrastructure. Staff is concerned that the City does not have the resources to address significant development in all three of these areas at the same time, and that programmatic choices should be made about which area( s) should be opened for development and when.. City staff has been increasingly concerned that both the City's financial and staff resources may be spread too thin to effectively carry out the City's work. Because City resources are finite, it is important that the Council make clear decisions, and give clear direction, about where the Council wishes to focus its resources. For that reason, in material that will be presented as part of the workshop, staff will lay out the following information in both map and PowerPoint format. . Current developments that are underway; . Future developments that are looming; . Programmed public works projects; . Possible public works projects; . Programmed parks projects; . Possible future parks projects; . Other projects that are "on the books" to address in 2006. Shakopee has been rapidly growing since the opening ofTH 169, and by all appearances will continue to experience rapid growth into the foreseeable future. (See Metropolitan Development Framework 2030 for population and household projections through the year 2030). This rapid pace of development utilizes City staff and fiscal resources in a variety of activities, including; . Review of private development proposals; . Design and construction of new infrastructure (sewer and water lines. roads, parks, etc.) that is needed to serve new development; . Oversight and inspection of plats and projects as they are developed on the ground; . Review of building permit applications; and . Inspection of new structures. While the Council has determined that it does not wish to impose numerical limitations on new development, it is still clear that the City does not have the resources to review and manage several large developments scattered throughout the eastern and southern part of the City, as well as projects on lands that are currently in Jackson Township. In addition to plats that are currently under development, for 2006 the following development proposals are on the horizon; . The Zoskie property in eastern Shakopee (about 80 acres); . Shutrop South (about 135 acres); H:\CC\2005\workshopl1292005rev.doc 2 . Countryside South (about 45 acres); . ACC (about 25 acres + south of CR 78); . The Bluffs at Marystown (about 320 acres). Some of these developments will require extensive commitments of staff time from the initial review to implementation on the ground. For example, work and meetings to coordinate the construction plans for the Countryside development, the new high school, and county road updates took over seven months alone. In other words, possible new developments represent about 605 additional acres of sewered or MUSA development In addition to these activities, new development puts additional demands on core city services which result in the following; . The need for additional police officers and fire fighters; . The need for additional public safety equipment (e.g. fire trucks, rescue equipment, police vehicles, etc.); . The need for additional public works personnel to maintain additional miles of roads, sanitary sewer and storm drainage facilities, and parks. . The need for additional staffing for recreation programs and facilities that are serving more residents. . The need for additional City buildings/structures. The review and management of new development, however, is not the only set of activities that the City engages in, however. Some, such as the BATC/BAM litigation and mediation and the SMSC fee to trust issues, are very time-consuming for City staff. The PowerPoint presentation that accompanies this memo lays out a number of existing programs and projects in the planning, parks and recreation, public facilities, and natural resources areas. Other major projects that loom are; . Completion of the new Public Works Building; . Engineering staff move to the new Public Works Building; . Preparation of the mandatory 2008 round of Comprehensive Plan updates. A listing of projects for the Parks, Recreation, Facilities, and Natural Resources areas also follows below.
