RE: Annexation Application / Submission — Dated August 14, 2017
FILE NO: 236.02 - 17.06
The City does appreciate that the submission you provided, however at this time the
City has the following comments:
1. The application is rejected as it is not signed / submitted by the required property
owners as outlined in MN STAT 414.033 Sub 2 (3). Please have all property
owners provide a fully executed Petition for Annexation and development
application with the necessary signatures. The City is refunding your application
fees, minus any consulting fees to date.
2. Consistent with the City's Annexation Policy, the City prefers to avoid the
creation of township islands or irregular jurisdictional borders that will create
practical difficulties for the provision of future public services including but not
limited to roadways, utilities, fire protection, police services, or other required
public assets. Therefore, we would strongly encourage you to first secure
partnership with Premier Bank for their land.
3. The application lacks a concept layout demonstrating transportation, utilities
and/or any other land-use infrastructure and uses. As noted in our letter to Dan
Parks of Westwood Engineering, dated August 8th, 2017. (See attached) The City
would encourage a master plan be submitted for all areas.
4. We would ask that you please provide a letter from Stillwater Township that is
addressed to the City indicating that they are generally amenable to the
detachment and the proposed layout that may be submitted in item #3 above.
While more communication would be necessary, this would be helpful as the
outset of any proposal.
When you are able to provide these criteria, the City can commence a more thorough
review of the proposal, but please note the City will require that the Applicant's provide
the necessary cash security as required to complete necessary studies, including but not
limited to those listed below, all of which would need to be completed prior to any final
annexation action being considered.
1. A master plan study will be necessary to plan land use, zoning, utility extensions,
roadway connections.
2. An impartial traffic study should be required to determine the impact of the
potential extension of 58th Street, it's connecting facilities and/or any reasonably
anticipated roadways being proposed.
3. A fiscal impact and assessment of development costs associated with roadways,
trails, ROW acquisition, fire protection, water, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and
any other upgrades to serve a potential annexation area and neighboring lands;
and that all costs and infrastructure deemed necessary by the City to serve the
planned area shall be the sole financial responsibility of the applicant. The City
will not finance and assess any roadway, utility or other improvements in the area.
4. Contact and coordinate with Brown's Creek Watershed District on stormwater
improvements that will be required in the area.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 952.221.0547.
Sincerely,
