• • COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 15, 1997 Council Member Bergeson asked about the origin for utilities. Mr. Ahrens explained that water main would come from Cedar Street alignment. A lift station at Cedar Street and Otter Lake Road could provide sanitary sewer, which would require jacking under Cedar Street. However, the Metropolitan Council has reviewed three alignments addressing capacity issues, and the recommendation is to run a Met Council sewer line along Main Street. This would bring sanitary service from the north. Additionally, Mr. Ahrens stated that he met recently with Centerville engineers and public works personnel, and they are receptive to his suggestions. Council Member Bergeson asked about timing. Mr. Ahrens explained that the Met Council's plan is for design in 1998, construction in 2000. If the City of Lino Lakes initiates this project in the Spring, it would go forward with a portion from 21st Avenue east to the new Otter Lake Road alignment,-with reimbursement from Met Council when the project is completed. Another joint powers agreement with Met Council would be required to cover this issue. Council Member Lyden again asked about the reconfiguration of Lot No. 2 to conform with the balance of the lots. Mr. Rehbein explained that only the first lot will be platted and, with the balance remaining an outlot, each lot can be platted as proposed for development. Mr. Wessel explained that the Apollo Business District was subdivided in this manner. Council Member Lyden then asked about the location for the proposed off -site mitigation. Mr. Rehbein explained that the mitigation is proposed for the area surrounding his office in Centerville. Mr. Ahrens reviewed that he has reviewed the mitigation plans and Mr. Rehbein is exceeding the 2 to 1 ratio. Mayor Landers asked if the City of Lino Lakes should be concerned with mitigation going to another city. Mr. Rehbein explained that the mitigation would remain within the same watershed, and that the primary concern should be the benefit to Lino Lakes. Mr. Wessel echoed that Lino Lakes will certainly benefit from this mitigation arrangement. Mr. Rehbein suggested that the proposal represents a number of environmentally sound possibilities, including better area for wildlife. Mayor Landers asked about the status of this project should the proposed joint powers agreement fail. Mr. Ahrens suggested that the roadway could be located entirely within Lino Lakes. Council Member Kuether asked about Mr. Ahrens feelings with respect to the joint powers agreement, to which Mr. Ahrens responded that he is confident agreement can be reached. Mayor Landers pointed out that state aid was a component in previous discussions with Centerville. Council Member Lyden asked if the proposed development for Lot 1 would remain plausible should the roadway be located within Lino Lakes. Mr. Ahrens indicated that the entire site would then have to be shifted east approximately 40 feet, but that it could still be constructed. • Mayor Landers asked about the anticipated timeline with respect to the joint powers agreement. Mr. Ahrens indicated that he hopes to have the agreement by the January, 1998 Council meeting. 16
