3- 7) Whereas the Village Ordinance requires 1, 3 1/2" shade tree on each lot, they would like to put in 2 or 3, 2 1/2" trees on each lot at approximately the same landscaping costs. Mr. Summers proceeded to give the alternatives for sewage disposal; namely: 1) Use of an on -sight temporary disposal plant similar to that of the Youth Center to be placed as close as possible to the point where hook up would be made to the municipal sewer. 2) Pumping to an established line, e.g., North Suburban Sanitary Sewer Dist. 3) Work with Lino Lakes to connect with a Village sanitary sewage system. Suburban Engineering would work with our Village Engineer on this. They felt this was a breakthrough in concept design and they would be building something attractive which will be a credit to Lino Lakes. The session was thrown open to questions by Mr. Summers which were mainly answered by Mr. Bill Meyers of Suburban Engineering. Mr. McLean asked what the square feet of the lots would be and was told the average would be 5,500 sq. ft. with the lots ranging from 5,000 sq. ft. to 6,000 sq. ft., not including the walkways. There would also be parking in the center of the cul- de-sacs. Mr. McLean also asked what was included in the 15% park dedication and was told that it was the green area as shown on the drawing. He asked if park equipment would be furnished by the park owners and was told yes. Mr. Glenn Rehbein asked if it was feasible for snow removal with the narrow streets in the cul-de -sacs. He was told the park owners would have their own snow removal equip- ment and they would store it back further, even on the lots, and keep ahead of the snow. This was questioned by Mr. Karth who was told that in an extreme case the snow would be trucked out. Mr. Hill asked if the 5,500 sq. ft. included parking. Mr. Meyers stated that on the small lots it would include the parking area as far out as the curb. Mr. McLean asked how close the trailers were to the back line and was told that each pair of trailers would be 6' from the line and 12' apart. Mr. McLean stated that this would be another variance to the ordinance. Mr. Hill asked what the length of the trailers as drawn in would be and was told that it would accommodate 14' x 16' units but not double or 24' wide trailers. Mr. Hill also asked how close the trailers would be where the adjacent modules come together and was told 20'. Mr. McLean asked how they proposed to handle 24' wide trailers and was told that this design would preclude the use of double wide trailers. A separate area would have to be set apart for this type. Mr. McLean asked about the lighting arrangement and was told that the street light- ing would be a globe type with soft lighting but there would be sufficient light on the street intersections to prevent any hazards. The question was raised about laundry facilities. The plans showed a central laundry in the office area. Upon being asked about having only one laundry for 571 units, Mr. Meyers stated that specific plans had not been made for this but there would be sufficient facilities for all. Mr. Rehbein asked if the value of the park had been tabulated and was told "no" because there is a lot of engineering construction work left.
