274 August 13, 1984 OPEN MIKE Mr. Mel Smith of the West Oaks area appeared before the Council to offer an update on the status of the section of Ash Street that has been in question. After some discussion on the various aspects of this issue, the main concern of the Council was the legal aspects of this street and just who is responsible for the street. Mr. Hawkins said there are some state statutes governing problems such as this. He would like some time to research the law before he pre- sents an opinion as to the responsibility of the street. Mr. Marier moved to allow Mr. Hawkins time to research this matter and have an answer to the City within 10 days. Mr. Marier added that this matter will be on the August 27, 1984 agenda with all other interested parties to be invited to attend this meeting. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried. 7:15 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - ASH STREET UTILITIES Mayor Benson opened the Public Hearing at 7:35 P.M. Mr. Davidson pre- sented his report on the installation of water and sewer along Ash Street in conjunction with the system being installed by the City of Shoreview. Mr. Davidson pointed out a portion of the street that would not be able to be serviced by the sewer due to the depth of the line. There would need to be some sort of a lift station for those properties to be able to get into the system. Mr. Davidson presented the estimated costs for the installation of these facilities. For an average 100 foot lot the total estimated cost would be $7,514.00. Mr. Davidson recommended that the area be separated - the large lots on the West end could only receive water - while the lots on the East por- tion would be able to receive both water and sewer. Mr. Davidson pointed out that some people can be serviced immediately and some people can be deferred until a later date. He suggested a Joint Powers Agreement be negotiated with the City of Shoreview and these are items that could be discussed at that time. He reported that Shoreview will be opening bids on September 5, 1984 - so the City has time to make a decision on this matter. Mr. Reinert arrived at 7:40 P.M. Mr. Davidson noted this project will be installed regardless of whether Lino Lakes residents participate or not. Mayor Benson asked about the residents who are interested in this proj- ect and Mr. Schumacher said letters had been sent asking for an indica- tion of interest in this project from the residents and those letters are on file in the office. There are some questions from residents of the area which Mr. Davidson answered.
