042 COUNCIL MEETING July 8, 1985 Page Three Mr. Roy Stanley is representing the owners of the Sunset Oaks Plat. He has met with Mr. Schumacher and the Park Board several times. There is some disagreement on the value of the property, however he was given examples of other plat owners who paid dedication fees based on the value of $1,100.00 per acre. Mr. Marier moved to accept the lots outlined in the Park Boardrecommend- ations along with a $12,300 escrow account. Mr. Kulaszewicz seconded the motion. Mr. Bohjanen asked if Mr. Stanley refused to be at the meetings. Mr. Schumacher explained no, he has been at several meetings, however he has questioned the value of $1,100.00 per acre as determined by the City. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. ENGINEERS REPORT Mr. Schumacher explained Mr. Davidson could not attend tonight but has prepared an estimate of cost to review the Citys existing pneu- matic pneu- matic water system in the Lake Reshanau area. He has estimated the cost to be between $500 to $1000 and also estimates the study will be completed within a 30 -day time period. There is concern regarding the present system in this area since there has been and continues to be considerable development. Mayor Benson said the Council had information from Milner Carly several years ago indicating the system could support the area. Is this no longer the case? Mr. Volk explained that Milner Carly was looking at if there would be enough water for the area and there is. How- ever, it would not be more than a five minute supply if there was any type of well failure. Storage capacity is the problem. If the well went bad it could take 30 days or more to dig a new well and water would have to be hauled into this area. Mr. Marier said since Mr. Volk already knows the problem, why do a study. Mr. Volk explained that he does know the problem and he is asking for a study to determine how to remedy the problem. The study would give the Council some alternatives on how to get ade- quate water storage. Mr. Marier said this situation has been before the Council for at least a year now. Why not just say the City needs a water tower and have the City Engineer give the Council figures for that facility and not spend $500 - $1000.00 for a study that will only tell the Council the City needs a water tower. Mr. Reinert noted that the new proposal for the Black Duck area will have a large impact on the present water system. They should be in- cluded in any future assessment. Mr. Volk recommended that the City Engineer put together a program for water storage with a couple different alternatives for storage. This may also include a financing package.
