CITY OF NT. Planning Commission Agenda Item 10
MEETING DATE: September 13, 2010
AGENDA ITEM: Update on Joint Planning Process
SUBMITTED BY: Administration
PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: During the summer of 2009 the Planning Commissions
of the City and Township of St. Joseph met to discuss potential revisions to the Orderly Annexation
Agreement to better facilitate the planning process. A marked draft was prepared this time.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the same time the Planning Commissions were working on the
Orderly Annexation Agreement, the City of Waite Park, Stearns County and St. Joseph Township where
working on developing a Memorandum of Understanding so that developers in the Orderly Annexation
knew what process to follow. Developers in the Orderly Annexation Area often expressed frustration
with the process they were required to compete by going to the City, Township and then County.
Early in 2010 the St. Joseph Staff started meeting with Waite Park and St. Joseph Township to develop
one process that would be required for any property owner /developer in an Orderly Annexation area in
St. Joseph Township. The Cities of Waite Park and St. Joseph along with St. Joseph Township met this
year to discuss the process and the result of that meeting was to continue moving forward.
The Attorney for the Township and Cities, staff from both the Waite Park and St. Joseph and staff from
Stearns County have been meeting regularly to define the documents and prepare for a public hearing.
The documents are included in your packet.
Since the impact to St. Joseph Township constituents are the same regardless of what City, it seem
logical to have one hearing for both Cities. The hearing will involve the Planning Commissions from both
Cities, the Councils from both Cities and the County Commissioner from our district. Hearing notices will
be mailed to all property owners within the Orderly Annexation Area and the hearing will be held on
October 4 starting at 8:00 PM at the Stearns County Service Center building in Waite Park. The meeting
will be moderated either by Mark Sakry or Jeff Janssen.
Each City will have to take separate action and depending on the testimony that evening, modifications
may be needed and a decision could be made at a later meeting.
The regular City Planning Commission meeting is this night as well and we could start that meeting at
6:30, if we have business or we could move to another night, your choice.

specific annexation request, property will not be annexed unless all three of the
criteria stated below are satisfied:

has completed the hearing process as hereinafter set forth, with
approval of the proposed annexation being obtained from both the
City and Township; and
2. The property for which annexation is sought is contiguous to the
City Limits. For the purposes of this requirement, "contiguous" shall
mean:
a. That the property is sought to be annexed abuts
property within the City; or
b. That the property sought to be annexed would abut
property within the City, but for the existence of an
intervening road right -of -way, the existence of the body
of a river or the existence of the body of a lake. A road
right -of -way (other than as if traversed across its width
to get to the property to be annexed as provided for in
this paragraph) shall not be used as a basis for a
finding that said property abuts or is contiguous to
property within the City; or
c. If only an apex of the property sought to be annexed
abuts property within the City; and
3. The City has immediate ability to extend water and sewer services
to the subject property and the property owner has a good faith
intent to immediately plat the property for which annexation is
sought. That following annexation, but before a building permit is
issued by the City for the construction of any structures thereon,
City water and sewer services must be provided to the structure for
which any building permit is sought.
In the event that the City and Township mutually agree to consider an
annexation request that does not meet all three (3) criteria established above,
at least 60% of the affected property owners must submit a petition for
annexation. In that event, a joint hearing of both the Town Board and the City
Council shall be called to consider and act on the petition. The petition for
