SUBJ: Resolution to the Metropolitan Council Regarding a Request
to Obtain a Time Extension to Complete the Comprehensive
II Plan Relative to Requirements Under the 1976 Metropolitan
Land Planning Act
COMMENT
11 In the spring of 1989, the Metropolitan Council produced new
Metropolitan System Policy Plans of interest to the City. These
1 plans covered Transportation Improvements, Waste Water
Management, and a Metropolitan Development Investment Framework.
Cities were asked to respond to these documents so that they may
II be revised as necessary and coordinated with Metropolitan Council
plans. Cities were to respond to the Framework by October of
1989. Last November, staff received a notice from the
Metropolitan Council indicating that a resolution from the City
IIshould be submitted to request a time extension if necessary.
Staff has a number of concerns with the Metropolitan System
1 Statement. Most importantly, it is our belief that the existing
population and employment counts, as well as the proposed counts,
severely underestimate the amount of development that is
occurring and is going to continue to occur in the City of
I Chanhassen. For example, for the Year 2010., the Metropolitan
Council is anticipating a total employment count of 4500 jobs
within the city. We have 4500 jobs in 1990, 20 years in advance
1 of this forecast. .
Staff has been in touch with Metropolitan Council staff regarding
II the updating of plans and forecasts that we are currently
involved with relative to the amendments to the Comprehensive
Plan that are being drafted. Our meetings with them began in
October and have proceeded to date. At this point, we view this
II resolution as a formality that will be resolved once our
Comprehensive Plan is submitted to the Metropolitan Council for
review.

RECOMMENDATION II
Staff recommends that the City Council pass a resolution
requesting an extension of time to prepare Comprehensive Plan
II
changes relative to recent updates of Metropolitan System
Statements for the City of Chanhassen. The resolution should
further state that the City is actively involved in developing a
II
major plan amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, that our efforts
are being coordinated with Metropolitan Council staff, and it is
anticipated that a plan will be available for submittal to the
II
Metropolitan Council during the summer of 1990.
