WS -5 <br />WORK SESSION MEMORANDUM <br />To: Mayor and City Council <br />From: James E. Studenski <br />Date: March 6, 2006 <br />Re: Work Session Items — White Bear Township Utilities <br />Background <br />White Bear Township is extending a low pressure sanitary sewer and water main system <br />to their northern limits of the Township just south of C.R. J and West Bald Eagle <br />Boulevard. The City Lino Lakes has been contacted by White Bear Township to see if <br />we are interested in a future extension of their proposed utility project. Also, the <br />Township has received a petition (attached) from their resident requesting connection to <br />the new utilities for a vacant lot owned in Lino Lakes. The vacant lot abuts the Township <br />on West Bald Eagle Boulevard where the new utilities are to be installed. The actual <br />connection location would be from North Hobe Court in White Bear Township. This is <br />an existing neighborhood currently serviced by private systems. <br />If feasible, the new system could be enlarged to provide future service to the West Oaks <br />neighborhood in Lino Lakes. The extra cost would be paid by Lino Lakes. It should be <br />noted that White Bear Township is anticipating constructing the improvements this <br />spring. Any additional costs related to capacity increases to service Lino Lakes are not <br />currently programmed within our draft 5 year CIP. Costs for this type of improvement <br />would typically be borne by the City Trunk Utility Fund. Any consideration of agreement <br />with White Bear Township would need to include evaluation of financing the project. <br />The Lino Lakes area that could be served is located within our sanitary sewer district 3F <br />(map attached). This area is proposed to be service through a lift station that would pump <br />to the north to the Met Council interceptor. Due to the existing wetlands in the area it <br />may be more feasible to provide future service to this area from White Bear Township <br />This area in Lino Lakes is currently defined as Low Density Unsewered Residential. It is <br />outside of the staged growth area and is outside of the MUSA boundary. <br />Page 1 <br />
