<br />- . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: I don't know how many comments we'll get; <br />we can answer them as we go along. If we get a lot of them, I <br />think maybe we can answer them as we go along. We have: <br /> <br />- don't need it now <br />- when will assessments stop? <br />- have water we're not using <br />- question about Bussard property development <br />- now, Mrs. Winiecki's question <br /> <br />Why don't you go ahead with those, Mr. Christoffersen. <br /> <br />MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: Mrs. Winiecki's question. There is a <br />need because of sewers downstream. Yes, they are becoming over- <br />loaded because of the developments north of the freeway. The <br />sewers south of the freeway were not designed to serve the area <br />to the north of the freeway. At the time the sewers to the south <br />were designed, it was planned to take the sewage from the north to <br />the North Suburban Sanitary District. Also to include the arsenal. <br />The negotiations that Council made in the past, apparently to go in <br />that direction, fell through; consequently, at one time they <br />determined to go south again; take it south through the lower <br />capacity sewers, and then re-build them when the time came that the <br />over-sized sewers were needed. An investigation was done some <br />time later, and it was determined, and also during the Comprehensive <br />Plan Studies completed in the early 80's; New Brighton has a 42" <br />interceptor not too far away that has excess capacity that can carry <br />everything from the north portion of Arden Hills. We made an <br />in~estigation and found it more economical to put in the sewer as <br />proposed to New Brighton, than to build new sewer all the way down <br />to Roseville. I hope that explains the need, you have been on <br />sewer I believe for some time; you live on Round Lake; you were <br />assessed for sewer in that area in Improvement 12 and 13; when 12 <br />and 13 was built, we also put in the pumping station and the force <br />main to the south. <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: May 1 add to that ... This spring we had a <br />rather mild melt of course, of snow. Even as mild as it was, we <br />had sewage overflow out of some of our manholes down south because <br />of what was coming in from the north; not far south of where you are. <br /> <br />JEANNE WINIECKI: In other words, then, it would benefit the <br />entire community; cause is because of over- development for the <br />sewer lines that affects the south... (inaudible) seems irrational... <br /> <br />MAYOR WOODBURN: That matter was considered by the Council... <br />(inaudible) Lets go back to the first question. I guess you have <br />covered the need. I frankly don't know how to answer where does it <br />stop. I don't know when it ever stops. It seems it never seems <br />to stop. <br /> <br />JIM WINIECKI: I don't know. It does seem like that. We're <br />going to pay the brunt on each end. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />5 <br />
