CITY COUNCIL <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />ITEM NO. 5 <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director <br />WORK SESSION DATE: September 3, 2024 <br />TOPIC: Request for Water Service for SE Lino Lakes from White Bear <br />Township <br />BACKGROUND <br />The North Oaks Company has submitted a concept plan "Wilkinson Waters" for development of <br />their property in Lino Lakes, located northwest of the Centerville/CR J intersection. This area <br />lies within Sanitary Sewer District No. 4. Sanitary sewer for this area is proposed to be provided <br />from a White Bear Township trunk line that was previously extended to the municipal limits. <br />Water service will eventually be provided by Lino Lakes. However, the City's closest lines are <br />1.5 miles to the north of the project site and, given existing supply issues related to White Bear <br />Lake, extension of our lines would be premature. <br />White Bear Township has water main stubbed to the property along with lateral water mains <br />running through the property serving the Rapp Farm development on the west side of <br />Wilkenson Lake. White Bear Township currently has agreements in place with North Oaks <br />Development Company for water supply. Provided capacity is available staff is proposing an <br />agreement with White Bear Township to provide water to this area for an interim period. <br />Staff is proposing to attend the September White Bear Township Utility Commission meeting in <br />September to discuss the possibility. Regardless of the outcome of the Wilkinson Waters <br />project, reconstruction of the interchange and associated roadway improvements, will drive <br />interest in this location. Confirming potential service availability will be helpful in future <br />planning efforts. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION <br />Staff is requesting direction to discuss possible water supply service with White Bear Township. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
