Why Consider Change?
- Accommodate demand in City for larger lots – not everyone wants
to live on ¼ acre ‘city’ lots
- Encourage a variety of housing styles and price ranges within the
community
- Provide opportunities for more custom builders versus larger
subdivisions with increasingly larger builders
- Secure expansive planned and desired open space and trail corridors
- Approximately 50% of this area is already developed into 1+ acre
lots
- Upgrades to sanitary trunk sewer would be needed to extend City
sewer to entire area; with existing capacity desired to be reserved for mostly commercial development near freeway
SLIDE 12
- 1. Current Plan – “Suburban” Development
- 2. “Rural” Development
- Substantially similar to existing development in the area
- Minimum lot size likely to be 1.5-2 acres versus 1 acre in
- rder to accommodate primary and secondary septic sites
- 3. “Open Space” Residential
- Allows similar density as large lot development but clusters
the lots to preserve open space
- Often lots are on shared community septic systems,
- r backup options are available in the open space area
- Can minimize length of roads and reduce runoff
- More likely to preserve existing natural features, views,
- r desired park areas

SLIDE 17
Sewer/Water Costs – if utilities are brought further into the area, the City typically only brings them into a neighborhood if there is a petition Traffic I-94 – 3rd lane from Hwy. 241 to Albertville is designed; if funded construction would be as early as 2019; this includes reconstruction/expansion of the 241 Interchange CSAH 36 (I-94 to TH101) - part of Wright County Transportation Plan - likely 5-10 year time period Schools – City coordinates and shares information with both SMTA and ER School Districts
