<br />.' Determination of Available Land within the MUSA'1/1, <br />, <br />,- The approach taken in this study relied upon the assumption contained in the rvletropolitan <br />. Council Report to the Minnesota Legislature, "Gro\\1h Options for the Twin Cities Metropolitan <br /> Area" (January, 1996), that 80% of the regions gro\\1h in the next 25 years will occur at the <br /> developing edges of the Metro Area. Using this gro\\1h assumption, 23 developing communities <br />I partially inside and partially outside the existing MUS A (Figure I) were selected for this study. <br /> All of these communities are experiencing growth and are considered 'developing' according to <br />, the Metropolitan Council. Although there are a few additional communities with land both <br /> inside and outside the MUSA, it was determined that the selected communities would give the <br /> best representation of land supply in the developing portions of the Metropolitan Area. We <br />, found a total of 15,956 acres of unplatted residential land and an additional 10,676 vacant <br /> platted lots within the MUSA of these 23 communities. <br />I Twin Cities Metro Area FIGURE 1 <br /> Interview Communities <br />, -- <br />Ie <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> -- <br />I --- <br /> Gr <br />I '\;-- _: ~- <br />.
