MINU7E5 <br />City Council <br />March 11, 1981 <br />Mr. Regnier indicated to the Council that he knows of no City ord~nance <br />that denies someone the right to hook up to City water when it is <br />available. Mr. Regnier stated that he feels the Guzik's shou1d be <br />allowed to hook up to water on Little Canada Road. The Guzik's are <br />also willing to be assessed for watermain improvement should Schletty <br />Drive ever be improved in such a way. <br />P1r. Regnier informed Councilmembers that the Guzik's are p1anning to <br />build a house under the FHA 235 program, and the cost of having to <br />install a well would put them over their cost limit under this program. <br />In order to qualify under the 235 Program, therefore, they must hook up <br />to City water. <br />Mrs. Scalze statecl that she wanted to make it clear that ~he Council <br />did not leave the decision of whether the Guzik's would be allowed to <br />hook up to City water up to the residents of Sch7etty Woods. Scalze <br />also felt that al1owing the Warha7l's to hook up to water on l_ittle <br />Canada Road was a mistake. Scalze was not in favor of allowing anyone <br />to hook up to City water at no cost. Mrs. Sca1ze stated that if the <br />Guzik's were al7owed to hook up, they shou1d be assessed for watermain and <br />that money placed in escrow as a pending assessment on Schletty Road. <br />Mr. Fahey stated that he saw no good reason for not allowing the Guzik's <br />to hook up to vdater on L9ttle Canada Road. The water is available, and <br />the Guzik's have ~greed to pay their fair share of the assessments on <br />Schletty Drive for watermain improvement. Fahey also felt that the <br />neighbors shoulcl not determine whether or not the Guzik's should be allowetl <br />to hook up to water. <br />Mrs. Scalze indicated that when people along Rice Street hook up to Roseville's <br />water they must pay a fee to Roseville. <br />Mrs. Nardini asked if the Counci7 would be liable -in some way for the <br />people they have not allowed to hook up to water on Litt1e Canada Road <br />if the Guzik's were a1lowed to hook up. <br />Mrs. Scalze stated that the Germain's have informed the Council that the <br />City should pay for the cost of their well, as they were informed that <br />they could not hook up ~o water on Litt1e Canada Road. <br />The City Clerk indicated that at the assessment hearing it was deci~ed <br />not to a71ow the people from Schletty Uloods to hook up on Little Canada <br />Road. That is why the Germa9n's were not allowed to hook up. When the <br />Warhall's requested water on Lit~le Canada Road, the Engineer recommended <br />that they be allowed to hook up. Also when Mr. Germain came in for a <br />building permit, the water 19ne was not installed on Litt1e Canada Road. <br />Mrs. Scalze indicated that the lots between Schletty Drive and Little <br />Canada Road are double-fronting lots. The 20 foot easement along Little <br />Canada Road is a scenic easement. <br />Mr. Fahey recommended that the Guzik's be assessed for watermain improvement <br />on Sch7etty Drive at this time> and the money be put 9n escrow. <br />Page -3- <br />
