, Arden Hills Council 5 July 26, 1993 i 3. Extend sewer main located on Lexington Avenue to the southeast corner of Lot 1, Block l, and then the owner could extend a service line to this main -(cost about $21,000) 4. Expand the gravity sewer line alang Shoreline Lane across the Bachman property -(cost about 58,000) Winkel stated that staff's recommendation is option 2 since optivn 4 does not appear to be acceptable by Bachman. Councilmember Malone asked how the other four created lots propose to manage sewage. Winkel explained that sanitary sewer service is readily available to Lot 2, Block 2 and Lot 1, Block 2 through connection to readily available existing lines, and that Lot 1, Block 1 has the option of arranging connection from Lexington Avenue or hook up to whatever arrangements are made for Lot 2, Block 1. He emphasized that the only problematic lot is Lot 2, Block 1 because it is landlocked and has no existing sanitary sewer line readily available. Winkel noted that if option 2 were chosen, it would require the sewer line to cross a City easement (the Shoreline Lane '� ' right-of-way). He commented that if option 2 were chosen, there would need to be an understanding between the City and the awner of Lot 2, Block 1 that the crossing of the Shoreline Lane easement would become null and void at such time in the future as Shoreline Lane were improved, and alternate sewer arrangements would then need to be made. City Engineer Maurer added that option 2 assumes that Lot 2, Block 1 would connect to the service available to Lot 1, Block 2. He strongly recommended that the connection be a private sewer service arrangement between the two property owners rather than the line becoming part of the City's sanitary sewer system. He said that the City could consent to the private sewer service arrangement, but given the unique circumstances in this case, he recommended the City not have ownership or maintenance responsibility. Maurer added that the "private sewer service" he recommends is a feasible approach and the only formal action required of the City is for the City to consent to that arrangement. The prospective buyer for Lot 2, Block 1 expressed concern regarding being required to hook up to the City's sanitary sewer service should Shoreline Lane be improved sometime in the future.
