City Council Meeting February 12, 1997 described the past drainage in 1979 - whatever came off the ball field road drained onto his land. Mr. Lalonde does not want to sump out the water nor loose any more trees. Mayor Wilharber asked what role the city plays between the school and Mr. Lalonde's property. Mr. Lalonde explained he would rather have Mr. Black obtain an easement with the school instead of from him. Mayor Wilharber asked who was at the meeting with the developer and the school? Mr. Black identified Mr. Gary Karpella, Mr. Bill Martin, Mr. Phil Behrind, Mr. Lalonde and himself were at the meeting. Mr. Lalonde requested the council not approve the project until the water issue is resolved. Further, he still feels very strongly about a moratorium on building in Centerville. Mayor Wilharber asked which of the three issues the council would like to discuss first; preliminary plat approval, zoning or the water issue. Nyberg suggested discussing the water issue. Mayor Wilharber explained having the water loop down Peltier Lake Drive is far more advantageous to the city especially with the future need to repair the road. Mayor Wilharber commented he was on the council when Peltier Lake Drive was done in 1987. The council did what they could with the money and technology available. Mayor Wilharber felt the watermain should run down Peltier Lake Drive since it will off set the assessments to the residents. Helmbrecht would like it to run down Peltier Lake Drive but questioned the cost. Nyberg discussed option three of his letter dated February 5, 1997. Nyberg suggested quoting out a couple different options and award bids accordingly. Buckbee felt if the city runs the watermain down Peltier Lake Drive then the road should be reconstructed. Helmbrecht requested concrete amounts available from TIF and the Road Maintenance Fund. Mayor Wilharber commented running the watermain across the creek would only make a couple people mad, but the best interest of the city is to run the watermain down Peltier Lake Drive. Mr. Lalonde said the best interest of the city is to run the watermain down Peltier Lake Drive. Powers- Rasmussen suggested looking into some creative financing options. Further, she felt the best interest of the city is to run the watermain down Peltier Lake Drive and redo Peltier Lake Drive and do it right. Brenner felt she may have a slight conflict of interest if the watermain cross' the creek since it would take place in her neighborhood therefore she would rather not vote. Helmbrecht would like to see the watermain run down Peltier Lake Drive but would like the road done right. Nyberg felt with the new available materials and Geo -Tech the road would be much better than Peltier Lake Drive. Buckbee felt it would be best to run the watermain down Peltier Lake Drive and thought we could budget for the road then perhaps do it in a few years. 5
