LAND USE PLAN
MUSA Reserve
The City of Lino Lakes currently has a MUSA reserve of 96 acres and intends to
expand this reserve by 890 acres to accommodate urban growth through 2010. The
MUSA reserve will be allocated within the 2010 staged growth area at the time of final
development approval. By holding the MUSA in reserve, the City retains significant
flexibility with the planning tools in the following ways-
1. Reserving the MUSA designation until actual development approval avoids
Anoka County practices of assessing MUSA land at a higher value than non-
MUSA property. This serves to avoid the issue of vested development interests
and would accommodate future land trade of urban growth areas. This feature is
specifically consistent with Metropolitan Council guidelines for MUSA expansion.
2. Since the urban growth area defines the boundary of urban development. the
actual dispersal of MUSA will be locally administered without Metropolitan
Council intervention. This avoids the micro management of Metropolitan Council
annual updating of the MUSA map and reporting of MUSA consumption provides
a growth monitoring tool for the City as well as the Metropolitan Council staff.
3. Distribution of the MUSA reserve would be done in conjunction with subdivision
review. To insure efficient and timely use of the MUSA, the City would allocate
MUSA only for approved final plats with signed development contracts. This
process provides for effective administration of the MUSA in the following ways:
a. The plat review process mandates wetland delineation to comply with the
Wetland Conservation Act. The MUSA allocation for the plat will be
based on the net buildable area exclusive of wetland areas. This gives a
more accurate accounting for the available MUSA.
b. Preliminary plat approval by the City will not guarantee access to the
MUSA reserve. The City will only give a MUSA allocation to approve a
final plat with signed contracts to assure the City of timely development.
The City will require financial securities to insure performance on the plat
which provides incentive for timely development.
C. In accordance with the City Charter, developers are responsible for the
costs associated with utility extensions. The development contract
associated with final plat outlines and secures the terms of this condition.
