It is expected that a younger <br />householder in the 25 to 44-year-old range to have a higher likelihood of having school-aged children <br />currently or in the near future. Based on a map provided in the Comprehensive and Transportation Plan <br />that is based on the year 2010 census data, both the Cities of Kindred and Oxbow’s median age is in the <br />25 to 44-year-old category. It is also important to note that one in four households in Cass County have <br />children. <br />4.1.1.3 LAND ACREAGE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH <br />In order for a city to grow, land and utility services must be available. The Comprehensive and <br />Transportation Plan categorized four different types of communities in Cass County; Metropolitan Cities, <br />Urban Residential Communities, Rural Center, and Rural Residential Clusters. The City of Kindred was <br />classified as a Rural Growth Center and the City of Oxbow was classified as a Rural Residential Cluster. <br />The difference between a Rural Center and a Rural Residential Cluster is that the Center has resources, <br />such as available land, potential utility expansion, and other similar items, that will allow for future growth <br />whereas the Cluster has limited potential for future growth. <br />4.1.1.3.1 CITY OF KINDRED <br />The City of Kindred currently has available lots for single family residential in the Newport Ridge <br />development. According to the City, this is the only new development that is formally planned in the City. <br />The Newport Ridge development is located just south of the airport and when completed will have <br />approximately 69 developable lots. The development is currently 25 percent occupied with mostly single- <br />family residential homes of which some feature access to the airport taxiway. Based on anticipated future <br />growth for the City, it is expected that if additional residential lots are needed, they will be developed near <br />the new high school on the north side of the City. <br />4.1.1.3.2 CITY OF OXBOW <br />The City of Oxbow is expected to be surrounded in a ring dike due to the impacts of the Fargo-Moorhead <br />Diversion project. The City has prepared zoning plans and locations for single family residential <br />development in anticipation for a ring dike. The zoning plan shows future development being completely <br />within the area protected by the dike. It is expected that the City of Oxbow will not grow beyond the area <br />enclosed by the ring dike and the only future growth will be what is included in the full-build plans of the <br />City. The City currently is at approximately 75 to 85 percent of all single-family lots being developed with <br />approximately 20 to 25 residential lots still available for single-family development. <br />4.1.1.3.3 KINDRED PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT <br />The Kindred Public School District completed a demographic study that provides information on the <br />population of cities in the school district and the number of students from those cities and other rural <br />areas throughout the district.
