December 3, 2007 DRAFT Residents: Ash Street (CR J), Bald Eagle Boulevard, Foxtail Court, Foxtail Drive, Partridge Court, Sargent Court, Woodchuck Circle and Woodchuck Court Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55110 Re: West Oaks Utility Improvements Lino Lakes, Minnesota Dear Residents: A petition was received by the City of Lino Lakes to pursue the extension of sanitary sewer and watermain utilities in the West Oaks Area of Lino Lakes. This petition represents 47% of the property owners in the West Oaks Subdivision. The City Council discussed the petition at the November 5 Work Session meeting and accepted the petition at the November 26 City Council Meeting. The City Council has directed staff to provide more information to the residents and determine to what extent the property owners are interested. The City currently has no existing plans for utilities in the area included in the petition. The area is located outside of the designated Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA), which determines where utilities can be provided. The area of the petition is designated for Low Density Unsewered Residential use in the city's existing comprehensive plan, although the proposed 2008 update to the comprehensive plan will designated this area as Low Density Sewered Residential In order for utilities to be constructed, a comprehensive plan update will have to be accepted and MUSA boundaries will have to be formally amended by the City Council. During the summer of 2006 White Bear Township extended a low pressure sanitary sewer and watermain system to the northern limits of the Township along Bald Eagle Boulevard just south of County Road J as shown on the attached map. As directed by the Lino Lakes City Council, the White Bear Township project was designed to service the properties in Lino Lakes shown outlined in orange on the attached map. This petition was initiated and signed by residents of the West Oaks subdivision as shown in red on the attached map, however this letter is being sent to residents of the Otter Bay Subdivision and the unplatted properties along Eagle Point Boulevard, due to the fact that these properties where included in the design of the 2006 White Bear Township low pressure sanitary sewer and watermain project. The petition requests "city sanitary sewer and water ", a project of this type would include the installations of sanitary sewer and watermain pipes beneath the City streets, which includes services that are extended from sanitary sewer and watermain pipes beneath the street to the right -of -way line (property line). Each property owner will be responsible to select a contractor
