HomeMy WebLinkAbout9. Annexation of Certain Lands in Jackson Township ~ CITY OF SHAKO PEE Memorandum CASELOG NO.: 02-017 TO: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: R. Michael Leek, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Public Hearing on Petition of LeRoy J. Bauer, Lila Bauer, Norbert N. Theis, Corrine R. Theis, and John Erlandson for Shakopee Valley Training Farm, Inc. for the Annexation of Certain Lands in Jackson Township MEETING DATE: January 7,2003 INTRODUCTION: The City received a petition dated 11/29/2001 from the above-named petitioners for the annexation of about 128 acres ofland from Jackson Township into the City of Shako pee. A copy ofthe petition is attached for the Council's information. Council is asked to conduct a public hearing on the petition, and provide direction or make a decision whether to annex the subject property. DISCUSSION: The petition was first reviewed by the City Council on January 15, 2002, by which time Jackson Township had interposed an objection to the annexation until the Township and City had concluded an orderly annexation agreement. With Scott County staff acting as facilitators, an orderly annexation agreement was completed, executed by the Township and the City, and accepted by the Boundary Adjustments Office of the Minnesota Planning Agency by September of 2002. Land Use/MUSA: The petitioners have had discussions with Tollefson Development Company (Tollefson) regarding the purchase and development of the subject properties. Tollefson, in turn, has shared with the Township, City staff, and County staff a general concept for land uses on the subject property. This includes substantial areas of high-density and medium-density residential, as well as single-family and neighborhood commercial. The City's adopted Land Use Plan identifies this area for single-family density development. This designation was based on direction received from Council in the course of previous discussions between the Township and the City. With the assistance of Northwest Associated Consultants (NAC), the City is in the process of updating its Comprehensive and Land Use Plans. G:\CC\2003\0 1-07\annexphTheisetal.doc - 1 - At a recent workshop NAC shared some general concepts for this area that would include higher- density residential uses than are shown in the adopted Land Use Plan. The types ofland uses that are appropriate for the subject property are in part dictated by the character ofthe roads that abut the subject property, as well as roads planned to run through the subject site (i.e. 17th Avenue). T.H. 169 is, of course, a high-volume principal arterial. Traditional planning principles would suggest a transitional land use (such as commercial or medium-density residential) immediately adjacent to such an arterial. An additional factor to consider in determining the land uses for the subject properties is the adjacent ISD 720 property. Uses planned for the subject properties should be compatible with a possible future school campus that would include both elementary and secondary schools. Tollefson would propose the development ofthe subject properties, and an additional 22 acres that would allow the extension of I ih A venue all the way to CSAH 15/Marystown Road. In total, this would represent the extension of MUS A to properties totaling about 7% ofthe City's ten-year allocation of MUS A. Should the Council decide that the subject properties should be annexed into the City, that action does not constitute a guarantee of any particular land use guiding or zoning. Both guiding and zoning will need to be determined after separate public processes once the property is within the City's jurisdiction. Infrastructure: Roads: The subject property is also bounded by two county roads, i.e. CSAH 79 and 77. Finally, lih Avenue would extend east west through the property. lih Avenue is currently a 4-1ane City collector street. Long-term intentions on the part of the County have been to have 17th A venue turned over to the County. There is no agreement currently for the "turn back" of 17th A venue, as it would run through the subject property. The County is currently preparing a corridor study for I ih A venue. Among the issues that the study wi11/will need to address is access spacing. The City's spacing guidelines call for 1/8 mile spacing, while generally, the County calls for ~ mile spacing. Because ofthe proximity ofthe school district property, the location of controlled pedestrian access will be a significant issue as and when the subject properties develop. Sanitary Sewer: The Chaska Interceptor runs through this area, and has sufficient capacity (which the City has already paid for) for development of the subject properties. Water: G:\CC\2003\01-07\annexphTheisetal.doc - 2 - Water service needs to be extended to the subject properties from existing development to the east. The time line for extending and looping this service are issues that need to be specifically addressed with the Shakopee Public Utilities Commission. Storm Sewer: Surface water drainage systems are not established for this area ofthe township, and would need to be resolved as a part of any future development of the subject property. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Close the public hearing, and direct staffto prepare an ordinance annexing the subject properties for consideration at January 21,2003 meeting. 2. Close the public hearing and direct staffto prepare a resolution denying the petition for annexation based on specific findings of fact for consideration at the January 21,2003 meeting. 3. Close the public hearing, but table the petition for additional information. 4. Continue the public hearing for additional information. PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW: The Planning Commission will review the proposed annexation at its meeting of January 9,2003, with particular attention to the land uses proposed for the subject properties. ACTION REQUESTED: Offer a motion consistent with the Council's wishes. /5~ R.
