. Arden Hills Council 3 August 9, 1993 Maurer added that another alternative for Nelson would be to seek variances to front yard and side yard setbacks rather than seeking vacation of the existing sewer easement. Councilmember Hicks noted that the "zig-zag" alignment (Option 2) inel udes an extreme bend; he asked if that bend could be redesigned to be less extreme. Nelson replied that the reason for the extreme bend is to preserve and protect existing mature trees on his property. Nelson expressed concern for potential environmental hazards created by the existing sewer line which runs between homes and the lake. He commented that it is an appropriate approach to gradually eliminate sewer lines in such close proximity to the lake and eventually connect homes along the lake to sewer service from the street. Nelson stated that City Administrator Person has facilitated communication between he and the Klawitters, and very recently a proposed agreement was presented to the . Klawitters with the latest indications being that they may accept the terms of the agreement, making the preferred straight line Option 1 alignment possible. He added that he prefers the straight line alignment in accord with staff and the City Engineer. He noted, however, that if the less preferred Option 2 is ultimately chosen, he hopes that no more than a IS-foot easement would be needed along the sideyard of his property. Councilmember Aplikowski asked if it is known why the Klawitters have been hesitant to cooperate. Mrs. Klawitter stated that their concern relates to preservation and protection of existing mature trees on their property. Councilmember Probst commented that with or without the Klawitter's cooperation, there appears to be an option for Nelson to connect to service available in Sandeen Road so the existing sanitary sewer easement could be vacated. MOTION: Probst moved, seconded by Aplikowski, to approve the vacation of the existing sanitary sewer easement across steve Nelson's property at 3280 sandeen Road, to be effective at such time as new construction is accomplished and sanitary sewer connection to service within Sandeen Road (either by the preferred straight line alignment referred to as Option 1 or by the Hzig- . zag" alignment referred to as Option 2) has been completed.
