All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />4. Proposed Street and Storm Sewer Improvements (21st Avenue) <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg opened the public hearing at 6:59 p.m. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson provided an overview of the proposed improvements to 21 sl Avenue. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson indicated the assessment was provided by Lino Lakes and explained that the <br />$52,190.00 under ponds is based on running the storm sewer from the low point at <br />Northern Lights Boulevard offthe map out by Clearwater Creek and there is a lot of flat <br />grade storm sewer. He then pointed out that running the storm sewer due west, if the <br />City could get an easement, would reduce the cost significantly as it would only be 300 <br />feet rather than 1200 feet. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson indicated that the street is listed as $114,315 and that would dr~p if the <br />County agrees that a right turn lane is not needed at this time. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked what the cost of the right turn lane was. Mr. Peterson <br />approximated the cost to be around $15,000. <br /> <br />Mr. Bob Sorge, owner of Noble Welding addressed Council and said he does not live in <br />town but his business has been located here since 1986 and he feels he is an asset to the <br />community. He then said that the road issue has been hell for them and he feels the City <br />let them down. He further commented that he cannot believe that Lino Lakes allowed <br />Rehbein to sell the property for a $3,000,000 business and did not require a road to be put <br />m. <br /> <br />Mr. Sorge indicated that no one cared about the businesses on that road until the Amoco <br />arrived. He then said that they have plowed it and graded it for 7 years and, now that <br />there is interest in going north, the City wants them to pay for the road which they feel <br />they have paid for over and over again. <br /> <br />Mr. Sorge said he feels the appreciation to his building is done and noted that lots down <br />the road are selling for $100,000 without the road improved. He then said that Mr. <br />Rehbein has gotten away with an injustice to all of them on that road for the sake of <br />making money. <br /> <br />Mr. Sorge indicated he would like to pay $15,000 for the road and he feels that is a high <br />number. He then said that Mr. Rehbein has $22,000,000 worth of land and he should pay <br />something to develop that land. He further commented that they do not need a nice road, <br /> <br />Page 4 of 15 <br />
