Metropolitan Council tells Dellwood it will remain a Diversified Rural Community; no MUSA sewer expansion planned
Summary
At the Jan. 14 Dellwood meeting, Gail Cederberg of the Metropolitan Council said Dellwood is designated a Diversified Rural Community and not included in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area; she said regional sewer lines are not expected to expand beyond the MUSA in the foreseeable future.
Gail Cederberg of the Metropolitan Council presented to the Dellwood City Council on Jan. 14, explaining the Councils jurisdiction and confirming that Dellwood is designated a "Diversified Rural Community" under the metropolitan regional development framework.
Cederberg told the council that Dellwood is not included in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and that those designations are likely to continue for the foreseeable future. She also said the regional public sewer lines are not expected to be expanded beyond the current MUSA line in the foreseeable future, a point with implications for growth, zoning and development options in Dellwood.
The presenter said Dellwoods zoning regulations and existing minimum lot sizes would not be compromised by regional planning designations, reinforcing that the citys local land-use rules remain operative under the Met Councils framework. The presentation was delivered as part of the councils regular agenda.
The council took no formal vote on Met Council jurisdictional designations; the remarks were presented for council information.
