1.1 	A bill for an act
1.2 	relating to local government; authorizing a turn lane fee to be imposed by certain 
1.3 	towns in Scott County under certain circumstances.
1.4 	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

1.5 	Section 1. SCOTT COUNTY, TOWN TURN LANE FEE AUTHORIZED.
 1.6 	The board of supervisors of a town with territory within the Scott County Rural 
1.7 	Residential Service Area Detailed Area Plan, adopted in 2009, and as may be amended from 
1.8 	time to time, may charge the developer of a proposed residential subdivision a fee for each 
1.9 	lot developed, or lot equivalent, at the time the proposed residential subdivision plat is 
1.10 	approved. The fee is to pay part or all of the costs of new turn lanes and bypass lanes within 
1.11 	or adjacent to the proposed residential subdivision. The fee must be based on an engineering 
1.12 	study of the area that determines the probable number and aggregate cost of all turn lanes 
1.13 	and bypass lanes that will be required at full build-out of the subdivision. The estimated 
1.14 	aggregate costs must be divided by the engineer's written determination of the number of 
1.15 	lots that will exist when the subdivision is fully developed, based on zoning as of the time 
1.16 	of subdivision application. The town board must keep the fees collected in a separate account 
1.17 	that is used only for the construction of turn lanes and bypass lanes in the area, and any 
1.18 	related costs. A town collecting the fee must construct turn lanes and bypass lanes as they 
1.19 	are needed, based on the county and town adopted plans and policies.

1.20 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment without 
1.21 	local approval pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 645.023, subdivision 1.
