April I I , 1979 271 Mr. Heath asked if there was some way to announce to the City that this pro- ject is underway. Mr. McLean said that the average person may not give you the same answer at a meeting as you might get from him in his own heighborhood. People do not think of the City as a whale, just their own neighborhood or steet. Mr. Gourley asked if there was.a business mans association. Mr. McLean said no, the nearest thing would be, the Lions Club. Mr. Gourley noted a few of the things he felt should be looked at: I. Park land, where are they, where should they be put. Come to anoverall plan for the future. Mr. McLean noted the Council has asked the Park Board to come up, with a plan and they will be providing this Board with plan whether this Board agrees with it or not. Mr. Short has been work- ing with the Park Board. Mr. Gourley asked -Mrs, Schwankl to speed up the, Park Board. 2. Another area to be considered is sewers. Mr. Gotwalds help will be needed in this area. The Board may have to redefine some of the information in the 1974 Plan with the view that a force main was installed not a gravity flow system. How will this affect our plan in relation to the sewer sys- tem that the plan laid out. Mr. Gotwald explained that the Comprehensive Sewer Plan is subject to review and change by the Metro Sewer Board. The present force main interceptor will force a change in the number of connections that can be made and this should be realistic about it and detail where the connections will be. The only problem he could see is who willservice district Two. MrI McLean asked Mr. Gotwald if it would be appropriate to try to maintain District two as a future district so that the City could reserve this cap- acity. Mr. Gotwald said, yes. What he will look at is the capacity alloted for that particular area and take into consideration that a lot of that dis- trict has already been subdivided, they are larger I, 22 and 5 acre Tots and this large lot area can be taken out of this district and reserve the capacity of this urban service district for thise areas west of.the freeway that may be of commercial and industrial value. These large lots can safely be pulled from the urban service district since these are now new and better methods of installing septic systems are being implemented. This area will take more thartr the south end of the City in district I. Mr. Reinert asked Mr. Gotwald in reference to the industrial land reserves and some of the problems in developing this land due to high ground water, should this City be more selective in the types of industrial development umless they are serviced properly with municipal sewers. Mr. Gotwald said, yes, the Comprehensive Plan does not make any provisions for heavy industrial development just, most of it is planned for light industrial, office com- plexes, etc. He felt any great potential for heavy industrial should be on the east side along the freeway. That will be a special problem. Mr. Gourley said he was thinking that redesignating urban service areas I in terms of the conneetions and urban service II can be broken down into smaller areas. Mr.;: Gotwald agreed and felt there would need to be special attention to the Lakeview area and the Treatment Center and a stretch along Lilic and the intersection of Old 8 and 35W south, the Ulmer addition should be alright. Mr. Gourley asked about service to the area south of the Outpost and Mr. Gotwald said he would definitely recommend this since it is so near the Lakes and Circle Pines and there has already been some requests to service this area. Mr. Gotwald explained the situation with the on site system at Lino Lakes
