Well No. 7 Feasibility Study – City Engineer Hankee introduced Greg Johnson 15 <br />of WSB & Associates and Greg Oertel of Oertel Architects. Mr. Johnson presented a 16 <br />PowerPoint that included information on the following: 17 <br />- Location (repurposing an existing historic home); 18 <br />- Photos and drawings of changes to existing structure (a building addition would 19 <br />be necessary; some repurposing of bricks); 20 <br />- First floor is all usable space; second floor attic will not be used; 21 <br />- There are windows that would work well as venting (with louvers); 22 <br />- Estimated construction costs; (and comparison to building a new structure); 23 <br />- The current plans include a new foundation necessary to support heavy equipment 24 <br />and for longevity; 25 <br />- Future City Wells Trigger Chart; 26 <br />- Test Well No. 7 (part of the study was construction of test well): test discovered 27 <br />an abandoned cesspool that was removed by the County and two abandoned wells; 28 <br />site is prepared. For testing, the second test well was successful. 29 <br />- Well Capacity/Well Quality; 30 <br />- Data on area wells testing; the aquafer looks very prolific; 31 <br />- White Bear Lake Lawsuit Update; 32 <br />- Recommendations for moving forward (decision needed by the council on the 33 <br />structure, submit permit application to DNR; prepare bidding documents for 34 <br />project); 35 <br /> 36 <br />Council questions/comments: 37 <br />- Would there be cost savings in recreating the shell with the bricks in the correct 38 <br />location rather than moving? (architect explained why he thinks it would not be a 39 <br />cost savings); 40 <br />- The extra cost of using the structure could be tied to saving the oldest structure in 41 <br />Lino Lakes; 42 <br />- What material would be considered for new construction? (it would be similar to 43 <br />the last well building constructed); 44
