�- unnecessary and not likely to pay for themselves. We recommend removing #12 and #14 and <br /> realigning #ii to the west to continue #13 northward to connect to County Road ii or to <br /> Segment#io. <br /> Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan contains a number of City policies regarding <br /> the transportation system. One policy on page 73 states, "Direct new residential growth <br /> toward existing roads and limit the amount of roads in new developments. Residential <br /> growth is rapidly occurring in Pequot Lakes and will continue to occur in the rural areas <br /> whether the City promotes it or not. Development in the remote areas of the City is more costly <br /> to maintain and provide service than development closer to the downtown or along existing <br /> roadways. There is no need to subsidize development, either directly or indirectly, outside of <br /> the downtown area,especially when doing so increases City expenses more than a development <br /> of equal size that is more efficiently located." Some of the roads contained in this road plan run <br /> counter to these City policies. <br /> We recommend referring to the transportation section of the Comprehensive Plan, particularly <br /> page 74 and 75,which detail necessary future road improvements. If a variation of the proposed <br /> Road Plan is adopted by the City,it should be integrated into the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> City of Pequot Lakes Staff Report 8-2 <br /> August i7,2006 <br />
