consultant. Sobota stated that staff became aware that the Metropolitan Council
received a Comprehensive Plan application from Scott County for Credit River and
New Market Townships. Brixius presented a planning report reviewing the Credit
River Township's proposal for 2.5-acre unsewered suburban lots to saturate the
township on a phased program by the year 2002. New Market Township is also
proposing to -open up approximately 3,500 acres of land for 2.5-acre unsewered lot
development located in the northeastern corner of New Market Township, all being
outside the MUSA.
These townships border Lakeville on both the west and south and the proposed urban
densities will have a negative impact on both planning efforts and infrastructure in
Lakeville. Staff requested NAC to evaluate and study the proposed amendments for
both Credit River and New Market Townships and provide a detailed report outlining
the basis for Lakeville's objection to the proposed zoning amendments.
