Hugo/Lino Lakes Meeting - February 1 Page 3 Lino Lakes Administrator Schumacher suggested that before a JPA is drafted, it may be beneficial for each City to independently discuss financing issues and funding resources. OTH Hugo Engineer Dresel outlined transportation plan issues which may be in conflict with those of the City of Lino Lakes. The area in question is south of Frenchman Rd., east of Elmcrest Ave., north of 130th Street and west of High 61. The Hugo transportation plan calls for east/west extensions within the above area. Lino Lakes Engineer Powell, advised that the City of Lino Lakes is trying to discourage through traffic from west of Elmcrest Ave' (area of a proposed housing development) and the City of Hugo is trying to utili7e the area as a thoroughfare. Hugo Administrator Museus noted that all traffic in this area is through residential streets Hugo is trying to create east/west routes to decrease vehicular traffic through residential neighborhoods' Lino Lakes Engineer Powell expressed concern that the Hugo Transportation plan will increase traffic through Lino Lakes residential developments (i.e. proposed Elmcrest subdivision). It was noted that through the Hugo municipal water system, there are opportunities for the City of Lino Lakes to share water to service the proposed Elmcrest subdivision in Lino Lakes. The City of Lino Lakes will prepare feasibility study for an elevated water tower in the Interstate 34E area. The study would address fire flow needs of future commercial, industrial, and residential development' It may be possible for the City of Hugo to interconnect with this system in the future. Lino Lakes Mayor Reinert advised that he and Lino Lakes Council member Bergeson had met with the Centerville Mayor and a Centerville Council member to discuss the Interstate 35E intersection. Mayor Reinert suggested that it may be beneficial for the Cities of Centerville, Hugo and Lino Lakes to consider development of this area as a joint effort, erasing boundary lines. He appeared to feel that it would be important to work together to create compatible zoning districts. He noted that it does not make a difference who obtains the first development, all will benefit. Mayor Reinert further noted that developers may be very anxious to work with a cooperative Cities group' He felt the three cities together could create an interchange that we could all be proud of. Meeting disassembled at 9:43PM' Respectfully submitted, Tamara M. Miltz-Miller City of Hugo
