Home My WebLink About9E - Thomas Ryan Park Annexatio MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT June 18, 2001 f'\~ ~;ank Boyles, City Manage~ CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A JOINT RESOLUTION FOR ORDERLY ANNEXATION BETWEEN THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE AND SPRING LAKE TOWNSHIP PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA STATUTES 414,0325. Historv: The City has acquired and developed a community park on a 38.4 acre parcel located in Spring Lake Township. The City intends to extend sewer and water to this parcel to serve the concession/restroom building and the irrigation system. If the parcel remains within Spring Lake Township, the City would pay $3800 for a building permit, $1000 of which is a park dedication fee to the Township. The City would then have to negotiate an agreement with the Metropolitan Council and the Township which would allow connection to the City's sewer and water pipes extended into the Township. Additional connection fees could be charged by the Township in association with the extension agreement. The most rational and cost-effective option is to request that the property be annexed into the City. State statute provides that the Township and City can enter into a joint resolution requesting annexation. The State Planning Department then reviews and comments upon the application within 30 days of receipt. No public hearing is necessary. Because the Council has expressed a desire to work cooperatively with the Township, I asked to be scheduled on the Township meeting agenda on April 12, 2001. The Board acted to approve the annexation resolution subject to review and approval by the Township attorney. Current Circumstances: The Township attorney reviewed the resolution and asked that all matters relating to the annexation be incorporated in the resolution. I have therefore modified the approving resolution to include the following: 1. A statement that the City will continue to maintain segments of 170th, Sunset Trail and Mushtown Road. 2. Confirmation that the City will pay a $2500 lump sum to the Township. Tt;Je annexation of this property will save the City money since the $1000 park dedication fee will not be due nor will the City need to pay sewer and water fees beyond those charged by the Metropolitan Council. 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E..

I hope to have the Township attorney's feedback on the joint resolution by Monday night. Conclusion: If we are unable to reach agreement on the joint resolution, the City could annex the property by ordinance. This method of annexation does not require approval of the Township but does require a public hearing by the State Planning Department. This method is not as cooperative in nature to the joint resolution process. ALTERNATIVES: (1) Approve the Joint Resolution as submitted. (2) Approve the Joint Resolution with modifications. (3) Authorize further examination of the annexation by ordinance process. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Alternative (1). Motion and second to approve the Joint Resolution as submitted. ~~ I:\COUNCIL \AGNRPTS\2001 \ANNEXA TION.DOC IN THE MA TIER OF THE JOINT RESOLUTION FOR ORDERLY ANNEXATION BETWEEN THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE AND SPRING LAKE TOWNSHIP, MINNESOTA PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA STATUTES 414.0325 TO: Minnesota Planning 658 Cedar Street St. Paul, MN 55155 ATIN: Christine Scotillo The Town of Spring Lake (Town) and the City of Prior Lake (City) hereby jointly agree to the following: 1.
