COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 14, 1995 Council Member Elliott moved to approve Resolution No. 95 - 87 awarding the bid to Forest Lake Contracting for $1,295,564.52. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Powell noted that the reconstruction meeting was held this morning. Site preparation will start this week. Resolution No. 95 - 87 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of a Petition for Sewer and Water Service to the Gladstone Drive/Lakeview Drive Area - Mr. Powell explained that several property owners in the Gladstone Drive/Lakeview Drive area have submitted a petition to the City requesting sewer and water service. The utilities do exist in the vicinity of the petition so service to this area could likely be provided. However, prior to actually preparing a feasibility study, a neighborhood meeting could be held to discuss the possible improvements. The neighborhood meeting would have a two -fold purpose. It would determine if there are other interested residents in the area who could be served; it would also give the petitioning residents a rough estimate of the costs involved whereby they could decide whether they want to continue pursuing utility service. Neighborhood meetings have been held in the past for short utility extensions and have been found to be very useful. Council Member Kuether moved to refer the petition to the Acting City Engineer directing him to hold a neighborhood meeting with the residents in the area to discuss the improvement possibilities and estimated assessments. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of a Petition for Sewer Service to Lake Drive Residents Near Marshan Lake Condominiums - The property owner at 7074 Lake Drive most recently contacted the City regarding utility service. At the time the cost to extend sewer and the assessments to be generated were evaluated and the property owner was told of the potential condominium development. The property owner did not pursue a formal petition for utility service as their property could be served from the utilities extended to serve the condominium development much less expensively. The condominium project is proceeding and the property owners at 7074 and 7080 Lake Drive have now formally petitioned for sewer service. As part of the feasibility study for the Marshan Condominium project, OSM has been assigned the task of evaluating utility service for the area east of Lake Drive near these properties. The utility service and potential assessments for the petitioning properties could be reviewed along with the Marshan Condominiums without much additional effort. Council Member Kuether moved to refer the petition to OSM to evaluate providing utility service to these properties along with the Marshan Condominium project. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PAGE 17
