1 1 1 Council Meeting September 24, 1984 Page -3- Mr. Ross from the 'audience stated that St. Joseph's Chuch is not considering hooking up to this trunk line at all. Mayor Benson said the Council was aware of this. 007 Mr. Reinert asked Mr. Ku'laszewicz if the Council decided not to put in a sewer line for the benefit of the development that is proposed to take place in this City at the present time, what are your thoughts in terms of the future of the City as far as you see our City develop- ing, would you then propose we be a City of acre lots? Mr. Kulaszewicz said he would be protected from holding the bag five years from now. If it can be proved that 35% letter of credit is sufficient, OK, so be it. Mayor Benson explained what 35% means. Mr. Reinert reiterated how the Council did arrive at the 35% letter of credit. He questioned - is this City ever going to go forward? This is the time to plan development and have the City grow intelligently. Mr. Marier felt this is correct, but felt the 35% letter of credit is the problem. Mr. Juleen from the audience asked why Rice Lake Estates plat could not be hooked up to Circle Pines. Mayor Benson said they could have done this but the City intervened and asked the consultants to look at a larger area. Mr. Juleen felt if the developers aren't building the home owners will be forced to hook up to the sewer. Mayor Benson said this will not happen because we are a Charter City. Mr. Davidson explained what the 35% guarantee or letter of credit means. Mayor Benson called for a five minute bred{ at 8:00 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 8:10. Mr. Kulaszewicz said he would like to have the developers agreement rewritten. Mr. Schumacher said the City Attorney would prepare the document with the correct language then obtain the developers' signa- tures. The next step would be for the Council to authorize prepara- tion of plans and specifications. It was noted the project could include portions of the original proposed project. The area could be made smaller. Mayor Benson called for a motion. Mr. Marier moved to authorize the City Administrator to draw up a developers' agreement along with the steps of the project which include A, B, C, D, where the line will be placed. After further discussion, Mr. Marier withdrew his motion. Mayor Benson called for another motion.
