. starting On Hamline and feeding this area and dead-ending. COUNCILMAN CRICHTON: So Anlble Road is going to dead-end for some time. MR. ARTHUR ERICKSON: I was the first one in on Nursery Hill Lane and I watched that road go in and the utilities go in (inaudible) alongside of Mr. Tschida, and I'm asking Mr. Christoffersen - I'm a little concerned. I was under the im- pression that when the utilities went on Nursery Hill Lane, the dimensions were just to serve the existing lots and we were told at the time they wouldn't be able to handle any additional homes. I don't know - maybe I misconstrued the whole thing, but they weren't large mains or pipes that went in (inaudible) to handle the volume of homes you're considering, are you actually hooking on to Nursery Hill or the units that came in behind us from the other Karth Lake (inaudible) MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: The units that came in behind you are are sanitary sewer - I ,think you're mistaking the sanitary sewer placed down at the end of Nursery Hill Lane - the eleva- tion was such that (inaudible) which occurred under the Karth Lake development. We needed a lift station which was con- structed at the intersection of Highway 96 and Lexington approxi- mately, and that force main comes back to Hamline so we could lower the sanitary sewer in this area here and provide sanitary sewer service to all of these areas. I do not particularly cherish the thought of a long dead-end water main. Six inch is an ample size to serve several homes (inaudible) several in Arden Hills (inaudible) 11 homes would be out of water, but if there were a break and this were not looped, there's a possibility of a great many more to be out of water. MR. ERICKSON: Or if you had a house fire on Lot 1 and two pumpers hooked up, we could'flush everybody's toilet for them. MR. CHRISTOFn:RSEN: If you were to hook up to this hydrant and pump from this point, if it was all on a dead-end it would make a difference. You're right, it's less than if we had a loop down from Anlble. If we had that, we have a feed from two directions. And I'm trying to encourage looping, and I think the Council is trying to encourage looping of most of the water system in the city. . FROM THE AUDIENCE: With this construction, would Nursery Hill have to put up again with the heavy equipment going up and down the street for two years? That's the only way to get in. They told us last year it wasn't going to (inaudible), but I noticed it there the next morning. ACTING MAYOR WOODBURN: This would have to be the last of it, I think. 11
