NOTES FROM GILANDERI LANE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING November 22, 1994 Little Canada City Hall - 6:30 p.m. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the potential water main improvement to the Gilanderi Lane area that had been petitioned for by some of the affected property owners. Those present representing the City of Little Canada were Jerry Bourdon, City Engineer; Harlan Olson, Job Site Inspector; Paul Heuer, Assistant City Engineer; and Joel Hanson, City Administrator.

He also explained that given the limited area we had to work within, the existing street surface will need to be disturbed. He discussed the option of restoring the street in a like manner or going with a full scale street improvement. The meeting was then opened up for comments and questions. It was noted that natural gas is already installed based on the comments by the residents. One resident stated that storm sewer exists at the east end of the existing lane. He indicated that the State of Minnesota had an agreement for provision of additional right -of -way where the present sanitary sewer right -of -way exists. He thought this occurred back in 1966 or 1967. The City Administrator indicated that our records only show a sanitary sewer easement for this area and no right -of -way for a public street.
