Councilmember Brenner stressed looking at another option to remedy the situation besides the destruction of twenty -six trees. Councilmember Brenner questioned the difference in the house plans. The final grading plan indicates several homes with full basements and no walkouts, whereas, the revised grading plan shows the same homes as walkouts. Councilmember Brenner asked if the grading plan accommodates the style of homes. Mr. Ebensteiner commented the house design has no bearing on the revised grading plan. Mr. Terry Maurer (H.R. Green Consulting Engineers) stated granting the request may prevent future property owners from applying for a variance to build decks and sheds on the drainage easement. Adding, the style of home will not make a difference with either grading plan. Mr. Maurer suggested the City avoid double drainage ditches. Councilmember Powers explained the tree replacement ration 6:1 will not equal the environmental benefit of one mature tree. Councilmember Buckbee requested City Engineer Mr. Nyberg review the proposed grading plan prior to approval. Councilmember Helmbrecht requested Mr. Palzer, Public Works Director/Building Official review the proposed grading plan. MOTION by Councilmember Brenner to table the revised Lakeland Hills grading plan request until Mr. Palzer and Mr. Nyberg review the plan. Motion seconded by Councilmember Powers. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Wilharber noted without advanced notice of the issues it is difficult for the Council to act in such short notice. Informational hearing for 20th Avenue Watermain Interconnect/Sanitary Sewer In short, Mr. Paul Kauppi (H.R. Green Consulting Engineers) described the proposed Interconnect /Sanitary Sewer improvements and estimated cost. The proposed watermain would run from Cedar Street north on 20th Avenue, and branch eastward on undeveloped land to the Lino Lakes corporate boundary. Furthermore, the synopsis includes an extended gravity sanitary sewer line to service Eagle Trucking. Mr. Kauppi revealed Mr. Gerald Rehbein stated he will grant an utility easement to the City for the purpose of a lift station. Calling attention to the project schedule he requested Council set a public hearing date for the proposed assessment role. Councilmember Powers was not in favor of adopting the assessment role as soon as October. Councilmember Helmbrecht questioned upgrading the Center Street hft station. Mr. Maurer averred the lift station would have to be removed and replaced, therefore, it would be cost prohibited. MOTION by Councilmember Buckbee to authorize Staff to set an assessment role public hearing date for September 10, 1997. Motion seconded by Councilmember Brenner. Motion carried unanimously- 3
