1 1' <br />COUNCIL MEETING <br />June 9, 1986 <br />Page Five <br />a,�t "rh tha street to put in the utilities at a later date, <br />Lino Lakes was asked if there would be interest on the part <br />of the residents on the Lino Lakes side of the street to <br />participate in the project. <br />Mr. Toddie understood the following specifics regarding the <br />project: <br />Estimated cost - each lot will be assessed at. <br />approximately $4,200 for municipal sewer and water and <br />$1,030 for street improvement, storm sewer and driveway <br />aprons. <br />Residents will have the option of immediately hooking <br />up to water, sewer or both or hooking up at a later <br />date with a slightly higher hookup charge due to <br />inflation. <br />The charge will not be considered an assessment, but <br />rather a connection charge. <br />The following questions were asked by the audience: <br />Q Why will Lino Lakes residents' connection charge be <br />less than Blaine residents? <br />Mr. Toddie was not sure, but stated that possibly the <br />difference is because the lines will already be in and <br />paid for on the other side of the street and from a <br />practical standpoint it would be beneficial for the <br />City of Blaine not to have to tear up the street later. <br />0 Will the road be widened? <br />A The proposed project calls for 44' roadway. <br />C Is it possible to request a sidewalk on the Lino Lakes <br />side due to the fact that the school aged children walk <br />on the street to get to school? If so, at what cost? <br />r If enough of the Lino Lakes residents feel this is <br />important, a petition must be presented before the <br />project is started. Responsibility to put foc,,ether <br />such a petition is on the shoulders cal the resident <br />Cost is unknown and would need to he examined. <br />Will the residents have an opportunity to meet with the <br />Blaine Engineer? <br />A Mayor Benson said no, after closing this public hearins, <br />there will be a 60 day required waiting period befc•rf <br />official action taken by the Council. <br />C When and how will residents pay for the connection <br />charges? <br />'. This will be explained at a later assessment hearing. <br />C Can Blaine change their plans and back out <br />'� That possibility does exist. <br />
