Special meeting
Present were Mayor Mary Capra, Council members Michelle Lakso and Richard Terway.
Also present were Paul Palzer, Tom Peterson of Bonestroo & Assoc, and Jim Hoeft, City
attorney. Council members Jeff Paar and Tom Lee arrived later. The purpose of the
st
meeting was to consider acquisition of property related to the 21 Avenue-backage road
project.
st
Dallas Larson reviewed status the 21 Avenue/Backage Road and industrial site
project. Developers of the property in Lino Lakes are not ready to commit to special
assessments or dedicating right of way. Gerald Rehbein had committed to providing
right of way and paying up to $150,000 toward the cost of the project, but is selling to
the developers Bart Rehbein and Shingobee Real Estate who have other ideas. Utility
construction costs are about $1.4 million. The Council already approved site acquisition
of the property associated with the backage road at $650,000. The Council felt that if
we cannot get the developer and Lino Lakes to commit to participation, then a 24 foot
gravel street would be installed on the Centerville portion of the roadway and left until
Lino Lakes decides to work on the improvement. Tom Peterson indicated that the
st
previously proposed right of way acquisition of 33 feet for 21 Avenue should be
st
sufficient to make the improvement. The backage road would be adjusted at the 21
Avenue intersection to match as closely as possible to the alignment of Northern Lights
Blvd in Lino Lakes. No formal action was taken.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:10 p.m.
