~ 14, and hopefully have final approval by the May 28, Council meeting. Mr. March requested Mr. Black comment on the proposed timing of the development since the council will have to make a decision where to run the utilities. Mr. Black planned to start grading in June and possibly be ready for bids within two to three weeks after. Royal Oaks plans to keep in contact with the Elementary School for the possibility to run water from the school. However, since the school had bids which were too high, this will not delay Royal Oaks construction. Royal Oaks is waiting to promise building pads, but building permit requests may start in August. Finally, within three years the project should be complete, but possibly sooner. Mr. Nyberg suggested waiting to approve the grading plan with the plat and developer's agreement. Mr. Black requested approval so they can move forward. Mr. Black asked, "Will there be a problem getting Met Council approval for MUSA?,' Mr. March didn't feel there would be a problem. Mr. March suggested discussing the Peltier Lake Drive water main, since Mr. Black is present. Mr. Nyberg spoke with Mr. March and suggested meeting with the residents on Peltier Lake Drive and Centerville Road to do an inventory on the road and then look at it annually. Mr. Nyberg asked, "What is the latest time frame to run water down Peltier Lake Drive?". Mr. Black explained he would refer to the council's better judgement and felt it was a council decision. Councilmember Brenner asked "Has the School had an opportunity for input?". Mr. Nyberg said no. Councilmember Brenner suggested the school and Fire Chiefbe contacted. Mr. Nyberg explained Milo Bennett, Fire Chief sent a letter indicating he would prefer looping the water. Mr. Black commented he has been in contact with the school from the beginning of the project. Councilmember Helmbrecht suggested the residents be involved in the process and the city budget for the extension for a couple years. Mayor Wilharber commented he would not be in favor of the road being redone without the water line being in place. Don Moe, 1740 Peltier Lake Drive explained he had been contacted by several of his neighbors about the meeting and they would ofliked to have been here but were unable to attend. The majority of concerns were the financial implications. Further, he didn't feel this was much of a community action, moving on this project without considering the financial implications. Mr. Moe would like the Council to consider a win/win situation, since this is the land of life, liberty and happiness. Mr. Moe suggested the council provide financial options to the residents prior to approval of the improvement. Mr. March commented the city is concerned about the financial implications from past experiences but the council will not assess property beyond the benefitted value. Mr. March asked Mr. Nyberg if estimates can be determined. Mr. Nyberg recommended the Council authorize a cost analysis and consider another public informational meeting. Councilmember 5
