• • • Planning & Zoning Board May 9, 2001 Page 19 Amy Roth, 889 Old Birch Street, stated her preference for a north/south sewer route so she has access. She explained she would like to add on to her house but the current ten - year old septic system prevents that from occurring. She stated she believes it is not safe to pull out onto the roadway where the traffic is traveling at 50 miles per hour. Mr. Rafferty made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 8:28 p.m., and was supported by Ms. Lane. Motion carried 6 -0. Mr. Lyden stated it appears Mr. Foster's concern about water should be addressed. He noted that the Rice Creek Watershed District gave approval but their concern is rate of runoff, not the amount of runoff. He stated if the ground slopes towards Mr. Foster's property, it could receive flow if the rate is exceeded. Mr. Powell clarified that the Rice Creek Watershed District is very much concerned about water volume and encourages infiltration on every site. He stated they have made significant steps to address that issue. Mr. Lyden stated he would like to see the numbers on the cost versus benefit since some residents are interested in connecting to the sewer system. He noted this requests asks for more MUSA which cannot happen right now since Lino Lakes is already beyond the 2010 plan for population. Mr. Lyden stated he would have to be convinced that asking for more MUSA is the right thing for the City. In addition, he is concerned that the houses are getting too large for the lots so he would support upholding R1X lot size standards. Mr. Corson asked if a MUSA bank swap is a consideration with this request. Ms. Sherman stated that is correct and the MUSA allotment would be swapped from the bank. She noted that only eight acres would impact the MUSA allocation. Mr. Lyden made a MOTION to recommend denial of the Heritage Development application for MUSA allocation, and was supported by Mr. Zych. Motion carried 4 -1 -1 (Corson voted nay and Schaps abstained). Mr. Lyden made a MOTION to recommend denial of the Heritage Development application for rezoning, and was suported by Mr. Rafferty. Motion carried 4 -1 -1 (Corson voted nay and Schaps abstained).
