CARL SCHENK METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
Mr Shenk introduced Ms Virginia Harris, Consultant as a proposed
consultant to Develop Methods For Implementing Council's Rural
Area Policies. Ms Harris had been the Director of Planning for
Carver County for 17 years and she is very experienced in this
filed and she just recently retired and now has her own
Consulting Service.
Mr Schenk informed the board the Council is projecting that the
plan for New Scandia Township could become a model for other
rural communities. Ms Harris questioned the town board what type
of vision do they see in the future for the township, how the
public feels about the comprehensive plan and how citizens feel
about cluster housing? The board informed Ms Harris the
residents of New Scandia Township want development options and
the board would prefer the 5 acre density and maintain the rural
characteristic of the community. Ms Harris expressed her concern
that 10 acres is a waste of land for one household.

for the township and the township is willing to pay .1/2 of 1/3
with maximum of $2500.00. Paul Rasmussen seconded the motion and
