• • • The City needs to loop the water even if no new development occurs. New development provides new easements because it needs utility service. If no new development occurs, the City faces the need to acquire new easements solely at City cost. Sanitary Sewer The majority of properties in the study area have onsite septic systems for wastewater treatment. Only a few properties in the area have municipal sewer service . These are all west of Hodgson. They include homes on the north side of CR J, the closed bar /restaurant site, the existing insurance building, and the existing liquor store. Shoreview: The properties with sewer service are served by a special service pipe that connects to the City of Shoreview sewer system. Shoreview has stated that it will not plan to accommodate additional Lino Lakes development through this service line. Therefore, service for the study area must be provided from one of the Lino Lakes pipes. Woodridge Lane: As noted in the description of water service, there is no corridor between existing homes for a utility easement to connect to the Woodridge Lane utilities. Connecting to this sewer line would require an easement along CR J that would be larger than a water line easement. White Pine Road: Also as described above, there is service available in White Pine Road, about 1/ mile north of the study area. Connecting to this would require running the pipe in Laurene Avenue and Rohavic Lane. It also would require either an easement through the Rohavic Oaks residential properties or running along Hodgson to Rohavic Lane. In addition, the comprehensive plan guides this neighborhood as Unsewered Residential (no utilities to be provided) and the City has not received only one inquiry from this neighborhood about providing utilities. Without property owner participation, there would be insufficient funding for utilities and road reconstruction. Ravens Court: Connection to the Ravens Court sanitary sewer is possible, depending on depth issues and the potential need for a lift station. Ware Road: As property develops along Ware Road, the trunk can be brought from that side. The Ware Rd. properties are undeveloped, so the opportunity exists to plan utility service alignment as land develops. The Ware Road trunk is relatively shallow. Depending on grade elevations for new development, a lift station may be needed. Preferred Option: ....................... to be determined along with water service, likely will use the same alignment and easements DRAFT December 8, 2005 Hodgson/CR J Master Plan page 18
