Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 29, 2018 Page 10 Council Discussion Mayor Roe noted a typographical error on page 3 of the staff report where it indi- cates the current use is High-Density Residential, whereas it is currently Neigh- borhood Business. Councilmember Willmus commented that the property was for sale for a number of years, and that probably has to do with current zoning. He expressed support for the change and added that he would very likely be supportive of re-zoning at a future date. Councilmember Laliberte expressed support for the Planning Commission's dis- cussion. Roll Call(Super Majority) Ayes: Laliberte, McGehee, Willmus, Etten, and Roe. Nays: None. b. Approve Request for a Noise Variance for the Met Council Sewer Rehabilita- tion Project City Engineer Freihammer provided an overview of the request for a noise vari- ance in three locations around the City. The project is a sewer lining project simi- lar to what the City has done in the past. The difference is this is a significantly bigger pipe, and there will be some open cutting involved in a couple areas. The noise variance request results from the need to use a bypass system of the existing flow. This is Roseville's first project like this, but there are likely more to come. All residents within 500 feet of the project areas were notified, and two concerns have been received. Staff recommends the Council open a public hearing for comment and approve the request for noise variance. Mayor Roe clarified this project requires the bypass of a major sanitary sewer line, which is serving a lot of different properties, all the while keeping that line functioning while it is relined or, in some cases, undergoing an open cut. Councilmember Etten noted one resident expressed concerned about the length of time for the project. He asked for how long on each project will there be a need for the temporary service on the pumps. Mr. Freihammer noted the contractor created a draft schedule. In the preliminary schedule, there will be 8 to 9 weeks of bypass pumping for area 4. Mayor Roe suggested the pumps be located as far away from residents as possi- ble.
