042 1 COUNCIL MEETING October 27, 1986 BY ORDER OF THE CITY COUNCIL City Clerk - Treasurer PUBLIC HEARING - NORTH ROAD IMPROVEMENTS Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 7:34 P.M. Mr. Stahlberg explained the improvement for North Road is related to the improvements in Rice Lake Estates and related to the installation of the trunk sewer line by Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC). It was decided that since the street was to be excavated for installation of the trunk sewer, water connections should be provided at the same time so that Anoka County could reconstruct the street according to MSA speci- fications with curbs and gutters. Mr. Stahlberg provided overhead views of the construction area. He also explained the proposed costs for the services are based upon the costs for Rice Lake Estates. There are five property owners involved in this improvement. Mr. Stahlberg explained how one property owner was provided with two services from the North Road project and one service from the Sunset Road project. This w enable the property owner to divide his lot into three parcels. M Ron Becker, 51 North Road - Mr. Becker asked why the services were placed at the corner of the lot rather than in front of the homes. Mr. Stahlberg explained that he sent the correct drawings to MWCC, however, their contractor installed them in the wrong location. Mr. Becker asked who would pay for the extra thirty feet of connection pipe that will have to be installed because of this error. Because of this error the connection will also have to run under his driveway. Mr. Stahlberg said he had contacted MWCC about their error and they refused to correct the situation. Mr. Becker also noted he does not have a paved apron in his driveway. Jan Clingingsmith - 6808 Lakeview Drive - Ms. Clingingsmith asked who pays for the connection from the street to the house. Mr. Stahlberg said this is the responsibility of the homeowner. Ms. Clingingsmith asked when it was decided to extend sewer to her house. Mrs. Anderson was asked to research this in previous Council minutes. Ms. Clingingsmith asked why her house was connected to the North Road services since her house faces Lakeview Drive. Mr. Stahlberg explained it was because Lakeview is not expected to receive sewer service until some time in the future. M Clingingsmith asked how footage for assessments were determined for h lot since it was a corner lot. Mr. Stahlberg explained the normal p edure.
