COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 14, 1995 PUBLIC HEARING, TRAPPER'S CROSSING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 7:15 P.M. Mr. Steve Heth used the overhead projector for his presentation. Mr. Heth explained that the City Council received the feasibility report for this improvement project at the June 26, 1995 Council meeting. The project is located adjacent to Holly Drive and 12th Avenue between Birch Street and County Road J (Ash Street). The project includes 71 acres and will be developed in phases. The first phase contains 28 residential lots. The second, third and fourth phases will contain 87 additional lots. The property owner (Hokanson Development) has petitioned for the improvements to be installed by the City. The improvements consist of sanitary sewer, municipal water, storm sewer, streets, curbs and gutters. There is an existing trunk sanitary sewer located south of Birch Street. This trunk sewer serves the Brandywood and Pheasant Hill Preserve subdivisions. The sewer truck for Trapper's Crossing would connect to this existing sewer trunk. The municipal trunk watermain in Brandywood Estates was stubbed out to 12th Avenue. A 16 inch watermain would be extended to Trapper's Crossing and six (6) inch service would be extended into the development. The storm sewer plan for this project includes several ponds. Drainage from the ponds will eventually exit to County Ditch #25. The storm sewer would be designed to handle a "five (5) year storm event". Streets within the plat will meet the typical Lino Lakes section which was modified in 1994 to include 24" borrow and draintile. There are no unusual maintenance requirements for the plat. The estimated project cost is $953,780.00 not including engineering or administration costs. A Rice Creek Watershed District permit for filling and mitigating wetlands, a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency permit for extension of sanitary sewer line and a Minnesota Department of Health permit for watermain extension will be required. The developer will pay for extending the sanitary sewer to the plat and a credit will be given for oversizing the pipe. The watermain to be extended south on 12th Avenue will be paid out of the Trunk Area and Unit Fund. About $250,000.00 will be assessed against Trapper's Crossing for future improvements to 12th Avenue and Holly Drive. Surface water management planning in the subdivision will cost approximately $31,000,00. Mr. Heth explained that sewer and water service stubs will be extend to existing lots adjacent to 12th Avenue and Holly Drive. Area and Unit Charges for the subdivision were described. Sewer and watermain service can be extended to the plat consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Streets meeting City Code minimum requirements will be adequate. No additional easements will be required. Estimated assessments including area and unit charges, MSA and surface water management charges total $1,466,654.00. Mr. Heth explained that the project is feasible. He added that the feasibility report should be PAGE 9
