JOINT COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 16, 1994 WITH THE CITY OF HUGO occurred in the size of the pipes laid under the highway. He indicated the Minnesota Department of Transportation realized their mistake but did not correct it. Mr. Dresel explained that if another pipe is installed under I35E, Centerville will be impacted. Mr. LaValle asked Mr. Dresel to obtain a copy of the study that was completed in 1977 or 1978 to use as background information. Mr. Powell outlined the proposed Clearwater Creek subdivision in Lino Lakes noting the location, the proposed traffic pattern, and the plan for providing utility services. He also noted a desire to work with the City of Centerville and the City of Hugo to jointly provide services for the corridor. This area appears to be ready for development and mutual cooperation by all three (3) cities could benefit each city. Mr. Powell noted that the proposed Clearwater Creek subdivision will be constructed in phases and could ultimately include 450 homes. The developer has submitted a request for a rezone and preliminary plat approval. Eventually two (2) municipal wells and a water tower may be constructed to service the subdivision and the commercial development expected at the intersection of I35E and Main Street. Mr. Powell explained how services would be provided for the area and noted that the proposed subdivision and future commercial development is consistent with the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Mr. Dresel asked Mr. Powell if any studies have been prepared to determine the ultimate land use for the area. Mr. Powell explained that an intersection study was prepared in 1992 and outlined how development is planned for the area. Mr. LaValle explained that originally the frocemain along Cedar Street between the City of Centerville and the Forest Lake interceptor in the City of Hugo was constructed to alleviate a problem in the City of Centerville. He suggested that with additional flow from Lino Lakes, the capacity would be restricted for the City of Hugo. Mr. Schumacher explained that connection to the interceptor has been in the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Land Use Plan for at least 14 years and Metropolitan Council has never indicated that the connection was not possible. Mr. LaValle explained that Lino Lakes was approached when the intercepter was installed but Lino Lakes was not interested at that time. He asked that this matter be investigated since the MCWS is experiencing a maintenance problem with the Forest Lake interceptor. Mr. Powell explained that all changes to the MUSA boundaries and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan have to be approved through the Metropolitan Council and based on information from them, there is capacity for Lino Lakes.
