0 3 9 COUNCIL WORK SESSION APRIL 6, 1989 A work session of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order by Mayor Benson, Thursday, April 6, 1989 at 4:00 P.M. Council Members present: Neal, Bohjanen, Reinert. Mr. Bisel arrived later in the meeting. City Engineer, Ron Stahlberg, Administrator, Randy Schumacher and Clerk - Treasurer Marilyn Anderson were also Present. WEST CENTRAL TRUNK IMPROVEMENT Mr. Stahlberg displayed two tag boards with maps referring to the above referenced improvement. One board contained a map showing the original route of the main trunk lines through the rear lots of five Rustic Lane landowners. The second tag board contained a map indicating a revised route for the main water trunk line running north on Sunrise Avenue to Rustic Lane then on Rustic Lane to Glenview Drive then east approximately 400 feet then north. The forced main sewer trunk main would start at the lift station on North Road then go north on Sunrise Drive to Gladstone Drive, then east to Antelope Drive to a lift station at this point. He noted that the'd•ifference in construction costs for the alternate route would eventually be less than the cost for the original plan. The alternate route would generate more hook ups, would be sized to service the shopping center area, would mean that there would be no utilities in wetland, would not require a DNR permit except for dewatering, there would be no right -of -way costs and would also avoid traffic concerns. The disadvantages would be a moderate increase in power costs, $50,000 additional construction costs, and would mean that the lift station planned for sometime between 1991 and 1995 would be moved up to 1989. Mr. Stahlberg recommended that the Council amend the improvement project to include the alternate route rather than the route through the wetlands. Mr. Bohjanen asked what would happen to the lift station located across the street from My Place on the Lake. Mr. Stahlberg explained that it would continue to service the Rice Lake Estates area and eventually the area on either side of Lake Drive to the north. Mayor Benson noted that the bottom line is that the alternate route is cheaper and in the best interest of the City. He asked Mr. Stahlberg if the shopping center plans changed the thinking regarding this improvement. Mr. Stahlberg said yes along with the fact that recently several preliminary plats have been submitted to the City Planner that were not anticipated during the planning of the original route. In addition there is a proposal to continue the trunk main lines all the way to Main Street. Mayor Benson noted that he has talked to several of the - Rustic Lane residents but none have contacted city hall to Set another negotiations session. He felt that it would
