COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 27, 1989 02 discuss the proposal fully and suggested another meeting for Monday evening, April 3, 1989. Mayor Benson said he had no problem with this and asked for comments or questions from the Council. Mr. Bisel was concerned that this may delay the improvement project. Mr. Hawkins said that he has started the process for a ghick take on all of the required easements, so that this would not have an effect on the start of construction. The City will have access by July 1, 1989. Mayor Benson stated that he felt the money issue was very close, however there were several concerns that the residents wanted to discuss among themselves. Mr. Neal noted that the City Engineer has suggested an alternate route for the trunk lines that would avoid these lots on Rustic Lane entirely. Mr. Volk explained that costs for this alternate route (run main lines from North Road north on Sunrise Drive to Rustic Lane then on Rustic Lane to Gladstone to the current location of the trunk lines) are more than originally proposed. However, Mr. Stahlberg noted thht.since the shopping center at Lake Drive and Highway No. 49 is planned for construction in 1989, a revision of the trunk lines locations should be considered so that the shopping center area can be serviced without the need for parallel lines in this area. He also noted that if the trunk lines were relocated to Sunrise Drive there would be potential for additional connections. Mr. Stahlberg further noted that the demand for services on the trunk lines to be installed has increased two to three times more than originally planned. He said he is looking at the need for another lift station sooner than planned. Mr. Stahlberg explained that the situation boils down to when you spend the dollars because the dollars will have to be spent sooner or later. He also explained that if the alternate route is chosen, the need to cross wetlands will be eliminated. Mr. Neal asked why this route was not considered some time ago. Mr. Bisel noted that this route was pointed out to the Council at the beginning of the project and was not considered. Now that the shopping center is a reality, the entire picture for this area is changing. Mr. Miller noted that construction plans are scheduled for 1989. There was discussion regarding whether or not to schedule another meeting with the Rustic Lane landowners. Mr. Bisel felt a settlement could be reached and be contigent upon whether or not the alternate route would be needed. Mr. Knieff, 6856 Rustic Lane said it appeared to him that the Council is saying that either the Rustic Lane residents accept the City offer or the City will reroute the trunk lines down the street and then the residents will be - assessed. Mayor Benson said that this is not the case, the City will have to provide services to the shopping center and
