City Council Meeting January 22, 1997 MOTION by Helmbrecht, seconded by Brenner to table the feasibility study allowing staff to review and make recommendations to the council. Motion carried unanimously. Brenner suggested inviting Lino Lakes to the next council meeting to discuss the interconnect. Wilharber suggested Centerville discuss the issue then invite Lino Lakes. Nyberg had a recent phone conversation with Councilmember Brenner. She did not recall a ten -year review for the interconnect. Nyberg said that David Ahrens, City Engineer for Lino Lakes, just threw the ten -year review out for discussion. Nyberg suggested the city consider looking at a watertower within the next couple years. Prior to Nyberg leaving, March briefly discussed a meeting earlier with Mike Quigley regarding Eagle Pass Third Addition. Eagle Pass persons claimed they had never seen the staging of the utilities in the comprehensive plan. Although, Nyberg felt confident Tony Emmerick had seen the utility staging. March wasn't completely happy with the design on the 54.73 acres. Nyberg commented the property will be limited to split level homes due to the water table /wet lands. Nyberg suggested larger lots with a higher scale of homes. Buckbee mentioned currently the City has Clearwater Meadows, Eagle Pass, Lakeland Hills, Acorn Creek II, developments which are not completed. Buckbee recommended completing some current developments then request extending the MUSA. Also, since the city has a small staff this may be too much for now. Council agreed. Lakeland Hills - Nyberg explained he and Jim met with Mr. Mike Black of Royal Oaks, and Bill Lalonde today. Nyberg questioned which area should be pursued to connect the watermain. Nyberg felt Royal Oaks shouldn't be held up because of a water extension. Buckbee suggested running the watermain across the creek. Nyberg mentioned Mr. Black anticipated dilemmas in getting all the easements. Royal Oaks is considering offering a credit to the city to run the watermain down Centerville Road. Wilharber suggested looking into this option, since this would cover two issues at once. March asked the cost of a watermain feasibility study for the two options; going under the creek and down Centerville Road. Nyberg estimated $3,500. Nyberg suggested doing a cost estimate to cross the creek and to run it down Centerville Road which would be about $500.00. MOTION by Helmbrecht, seconded Brenner to have the City Engineer put together a letter of facts to cross the creek and to include other options, not to exceed $500.00. Motion carried unanimously. \larch had a meeting this afternoon with a representative of Center Oaks, who requested multi- housing and requested rezoning the commercial land to residential high density. Wilharber was not in favor of rezoning any commercial property. Council was not in favor of rezoning any commercial property to residential. 3
