Lr Page 6 Planning and Zoning August 8, 1979 All the necessary date were listed on the maps,which Mr. Gotwald reviewed. He also had available a sewer service schedule map which had basically the same information with what is scheduled for the future added. Mr. Gourley asked what was the status on the south center as far as pollution control was concerned; Mr. Gotwald said that the extensions are based on the fact that Lino Lakes is going to do something that would make it possible for them to clean up their problems. Mr. Gotwald will talk to Metro informally on the Comprehensive Sewer Plan. He indicated Metro has, released part of Urban Sewer District 1 for connection. This would be 300 connections in the south area between now and the time the Comprehensive Plan is completed. Part of the requirement was that an interim plan be submitted, which they had now. Mr. Gotwald had maps ofthis available, which he explained. Mr. Gotwald will document the amount of sewer flow expected in 1980..and submit it for the final o.k. on the 300 connections. The final Comprehensive Sewer Plan will need blueprints and so on, which will be done later. In reference to #4, drainage, Mr. Gotwald indicated all that is required is a wetlands map,•basically showing swamp area, and possibly .lake, elevations. As for the detailed work on centralizing ponding areas, this would run about $15,000; Mr. Gotwald felt that information from the state flood plain work could possibly be utilized on this. This would cut costs down, and as it was not required for the Comprehensive Plan, .he recommended waiting to see if the information from that report could be,used. Possibly it.wouId contain all the information needed, so that it would only need to be put together in a form the City could use. Mr. Gourley felt that in light, of the number of plats coming in, the concern was to get something started on centralized ponding as soon as possible, as it could cost more in the long run to wait for the information. Mr. Gotwald said i.t.would depend on how the develop- ment was taking place, which he felt was scattered, so it wouldn't make that much difference. Mr.Gourley thought perhaps something minimal could be done to take care of the two major developing areas. Mr..Gotwald will start work on the wetlands map and elevations, and after these are completed, attention could be focused on one or two of the areas with plats for centra- lizing ponds. He suggested using a zoning classification called conser- vation land to reserve areas for.the central ponds. He will be sending in estimated costs for budgetary:purposes, and will include the ponding areas study as a separate item. Mr. Doocey asked if Mr. Gotwald could advise as to where the ponding should be or where it should be channelled to if off the property when he reviews plats in the future. This will be possible when the wetlands map is finished.. In reference to transportation on the workload outline, Mr. Gotwald felt this would be no problem, as it was pretty well covered in the present Comprehen- sive Plan. A statement that all new road construction within the City fulfills the requirements, and listing the specifications should be included in the new plan. In reference to street lighting, Mr. Gotwald was in contact with NSP on street lighting in the Shenandoah area and at the same time he asked them relative to the Comprehensive Plan to come up with a sample ordinance for street lighting that would be installed by the developer for types of poles, types of lighting and costs, etc. These would then be turned over to the City and it would run $6-7 per light for the City for power. All the cost options would be in the report. Mr. Short presented a review of the summarized Plan Content Guideline, pre- pared byMetro Council, and copies were avilable.
