Neighborhood meetings are scheduled on November 28, 2017 <br />to provide information to residents on the extension of municipal utilities. The LaMotte <br />neighborhood meeting will be held from 6:00 to 7:00 pm, and the West Shadow Lake <br />neighborhood meeting from 7:00 to 8:00 pm. The preliminary design, project costs, and <br />assessments amounts will be presented. <br /> <br />The first stage of the roadway and drainage design is being completed. We are working on <br />determining the roadway width, safety, and stormwater management/quality improvements. <br />The Reshanau Lake outlet culvert is one of the design schedule critical paths. Staff received a <br />petition from property owners to keep the lake elevation at a recreational level. We believe this <br />to be the current culvert restricted elevation. Considerations with this request include the <br />permitting agencies of Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) and the Minnesota Department <br />of Natural Resources (DNR). We obtained data on the culvert. The next step is to work with
