No. 727 CITY OF SHAKOPEE I~ fl- Memorandum CASE NO.: OS-028 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: Mark Noble, Planner I SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Extend MUSA, andRezone Property from Agricultural Preservation (AG) Zone/Light Industry (I-I) Zone to Urban Residential (R-IB) Zone MEETING DATE: March 15,2005 REVIEW PERIOD: January 21,2005 - May 20,2005 INTRODUCTION Mark Liesener has made application to extend Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) to the subject property, and that the subject property be rezoned from Agricultural Preservation (AG) Zone/ Light Industry (I-I) Zone to Urban Residential (R-IB) Zone. DISCUSSION The subject property is approximately 14 acres in size and is located north of Eagle Creek Blvd. and west of Riverside Fields (Exhibit A). This application was made concurrent with a Preliminary Plat application for Riverside Bluffs, which incorporates the land subject to this application in addition to land located adjacent to the west, which already has MUSA but has not yet been developed. Planning staff note that the property to the northeast has MUSA approval and is presently being developed, and the property to the west has received MUSA and rezoning to single-family residential for a portion of that property. However, it should be noted that the MUSA approval for the property to the west that is a part of the Riverside Bluffs proposal was granted on a condition that development of that property occur within a one year time period. That development has not yet occurred. City Engineering staff have noted that sanitary sewer is presently not available to the property that is the subject of this request; therefore, it is practically difficult to recommend approval of this request at this time; only at such time that the developmentto the west occurs and sanitary sewer is made available to this property may this property be granted MUSA approval. The applicant has been in negotiations with the developer of Riverside Fields 4th Addition to provide for a temporary sanitary sewer service from that development. The design and service agreement for this proposal has not been approved by the City as of the writing of this report. The following Goals and Policies within the City's Comprehensive Plan contain provisions for the granting of MUS A only if all of the following circumstances are found to exist. Failure to comply with all goals and policies shall result in the denial ofthe request. GOAL #1: Growth and expansion of that portion of Shakopee served by public services shall be controlled and focused to maintain the City's fiscal soundness consistent with other community-wide goals. GOAL #2: Any future annexation shall be undertaken in an orderly, fiscally sound manner. Property in annexed areas shall be treated fairly relative to taxes and the provision of service. Policies: a. New areas will be added to MUSA only when that designation is consistent with Goal #1 above. b. Areas to be added to MUSA shall be located where utilities and community facilities can be efficiently located or extended. c. Designation of MUS A areas will be timed to enhance the City's ability to plan for, develop, and/or acquire new utilities and public facilities. d. The addition of new MUSA areas shall either be timed to coincide with the availability of utilities and community facilities, or be coordinated with plans to provided utilities and community facilities. e. The City will find that new MUSA areas will be suitable for development within the timeframe being considered. f. Designation of new MUSA areas shall be undertaken to better react to the marketplace and to serve the community as a whole.

DISCUSSION The property is approximately 14 acres in size and is located north of Eagle Creek Blvd. and west of Riverside Fields (Exhibit A). The adopted Comprehensive Plan identifies this property for single family residential development. Shakopee Public Utilities has conunented that any proposed development of this property must be served with two independent water sources that are then looped together, along with standard SPUC requirements. They noted that there is one source in Crossings Blvd. to the east, and a second source would be from the north across future CR 21 to the watermain around Red Oak Elementary School. CenterPoint Energy provided a letter that addressed this application as well as the proposed preliminary plat of Riverside Bluffs, noting that they object to the plans as proposed and will only remove their objection if the issues addressing the transmission pipeline easement(s) are met. The Parks, Recreation and Facilities Director Mark Themig commented that the Environmental Advisory Commission held a meeting at which they reviewed this application, and after considerable discussion, continued the hearing to allow for them to meet and discuss design issues and the proposed greenway corridor that would be located along the creek channel and through out the developments proposed ill this area. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board have not conducted their review of the Riverside Bluffs preliminary plat at this time; therefore, Mr. Themig recommends a continuance of this request until they have had an opportunity to adequately address tlus proposed development. The following Goals and Policies contain provisions for the granting of MUS A only if all ofthe following circumstances are found to exist. Failure to comply with all goals and policies shall result in the denial ofthe request.

Designation of MUSA areas will be timed to enhance tbe City's ability to plan for, develop, and/or acquire new utilities and public facilities. d. The addition of new MUSA areas shall either be timed to coincide with the availability of utilities and community facilities, or be coordinated with plans to provided utilities and community facilities. e. The City will find that new MUSA areas will be suitable for development within the timeframe being considered. f. Designation of new MusA areas shall be undertaken to better react to the marketplace and to serve the community as a whole. STAFF RECOMMENDATION After evaluating the proposed project based on the above noted policies, staff has determined that several of the policies can not presently be met; therefore, staff recommends that this item be either denied or continued to a date at which time the policies could be met. Planning staff note that the property to the northeast has MUSA approval and is presently being developed, and the property to the west has received MUSA and rezoning to single-family residential for a portion ofthat property. However, it should be noted that the MUSA approval ofthat property to the west was granted on a condition that development of that property occur within a one year time period. That development has not yet occurred.

The information prepared by Pioneer 'Er1gineering is incorrect and with many flaws. They are listed as follows: 1. The transmission pipeline easement recorded as document number A631418 is not on any part of this property but for the property immediately to the west. 2. The transmission pipeline easement in the Southeast quarter of Section 14 was reduced to a 1 DO-foot strip according to Modification and Amendment of Easement Grant, recorded as document number 117360. 3. The transmission line easement in the Northeast Quarter is an existing blanket easement filed with the Scott County Recorder on November 25, 1939 in Book of Easements on page 97. CenterPoint Energy will release the existing easements over the above referenced property upon receipt of a new easement defining an 50-foot wide strip on the south end where the grade is steep, and a 66-foot easement over the remainder of the property to the north.

That part of the parcel located in the Southeast quarter of Section 14 was reduced to a 1 aD-foot strip according to Modification and Amendment of Easement Grant, recorded as document number 117360. Copy to follow. As to that part of the parcel in the Northeast Quarter, CenterPoint Energy will release the existing easement over the above referenced property upon receipt of a new easement defining a 1 DO-foot wide strip, 50 feet on each side, centered over the high- pressure natural gas transmission line presently located on the property. The existing easement was executed on October 24, 1 939 and filed with the Scott County Recorder on November 25, 1939 in Book of Easements on page 97. It was subsequently assigned to Minnegasco according to Quit Claim Deed recorded May 18, 1 987 as document number 234148. Copies to follow. CenterPoint Energy's pipelines are operated and maintained in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 192, Title 49, "Transportation of Natural and Other Gasses by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards. The first step in this process will consist of CenterPoint Energy personnel locating the existing transmission line and marking it with yellow stakes or yellow paint. The next step is to tie down the natural gas transmission line to a current survey of the property. This survey must be completed by a Registered Land Surveyor and define a centerline located over the transmission line to use as a legal description for the new easement to be executed by the current owners of the property. The current owners or any party other than CenterPoint Energy will pay all costs for this survey. Please provide: 1. The legal description and survey as referenced above. 2. The names of the current owners. If a corporation or partnership a copy of how the signature block should look. 3. If the property is Registered Torrens or abstract. If Torrens, the certificate of title number. 4. A copy of the development plans for the area. We must have a copy to review and approve to insure all safe conditions are met in the development. ./ , Chad Baker January G, 2ees page 2 No more than 1-foot of cut or fill will be allowed within 10-feet of the pipeline. According to paragraph one of Exhibit A of the easement II A level area of not less than 6 feet on each side of the pipeline shall be maintained at all times. Slope beyond 6 feet from the pipeline shall not be steeper than 4 to 1, unless otherwise agreed. Any amount of cut or fill, within the 4 to 1 slope area, shall increase the width of the level area on each side of the pipeline by that same footage of cut or fill." When you provide all of the about information, I will then draft a new easement and a release of the existing blanket easement. Two copies of the new easement will be sent to you for execution by the current owners. I will also include an unexecutl?d copy of the release for your reference. When both copies of the easement are executed, return them to me and I will have the new easement and the release of the existing easement executed by a Senior Vice President of Centerpoint Energy. The new easement will be filed immediately subsequent to the release. Please contact me at 1.800.234.5800, extension 5381, or 612.321.5381 to have the gas main located when you are ready to have the area surveyed: The transmission line will be located within a week after you call me. The survey must be completed within days of having the line located so these markings will not be disturbed.

Honorable Mayor and City Council members: We respectfully request that you continue our request for Comprehensive Plan - Amendment to Extend MUSA, and Rezone Property from Agricultural Preservation (AG) Zone/Light Industry (I-I) Zone to Urban Residential (R-IB) Zone for two weeks to the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting. We understand that all members of the City Council will not be present at tonight's meeting and we would like the opportunity to make our presentation to the full City Council. Also on this evening's agenda is the request from Centex Homes for the Final Plat Approval of Riverside Fields 4th Addition. At your March 1, 200S City Council meeting, you continued your deliberation on Riverside Fields 4th Addition Final Plat, in order to allow the staff time to revise the Resolution to include language that would recognize the agreement between Centex Homes and Ryland Homes, for the sewer connection to the adjacent property to the west, to be included in the approval of the 4th Addition Final Plat. If this is the action the. City Council takes, we support it. Otherwise, the connection was a part of the final plat of Riverside Fields 1 st addition, and in fact occurs within the right- of-way of Crossings Boulevard as a part of the 1st addition Final Plat requirements. Ryland is already required by resolution to build this connection. In order not to further delay Centex's approval, we are willing to continue the discussion of the sewer connection until your review of our MUSA line extension.
