Attachment C - Application Materials natural state, and it does not have any wetlands designated for preservation in the city's Goal 5 Conservation Plan. Protect Sand & Gravel Resources is consistent with an expansive drawing of the UGB. None of the subject property is planned or zoned for Sand & Gravel extraction. Sand and Gravel uses are adjacent to the north. Meet Housing Goals would support including as much acreage as possible in the UGB, so as to maximize the land available for residential development. In summary, with respect to the boundary of the UGB along the western edge of the subject property, the applicant suggests that the boundary should be set at the edge of the floodway. That metes and bounds call is reflected in the legal description of the area to be annexed, which appears in Exhibit D. (2) Consistency with Metro Plan Policies and applicable refinement plans: The Metro Plan Policy 10, page 11 -C -4, recognizes annexations through this normal process to be the highest priority. Metro Plan Policy 8, page 11 -C -4, provides for annexation when a minimum level of key facilities and services can be provided. This policy is the subject of the annexation standard in (3) below. The subject property is also within the area of the Willakenzie Area Plan an area refinement plan. The plan, however, contains no policies directly relevant to annexation. (3) Provision of a minimum level of key urban facilities and services in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner: The Metro Plan defines the "Minimum Level" of "key urban facilities and services" as including "wastewater service, stormwater service, transportation, solid waste management, water service, fire and emergency medical services, police protection, city -wide parks and recreation programs, electric service, land use controls, communication facilities, and public schools on a district - wide basis (in other words, not necessarily within walking distance of all students served)." Each of these facilities and services is addressed below. Reference is made to the findings of the Boundary Commission in the 2006 River Ridge annexation, which is adjacent to the subject property. See Exhibit G. In summary, the minimum level of key urban facilities and services is either immediately available or can be provided within a reasonable future time frame as needed.
