1 0 COUNCIL MEETING MAY 22, 1989 about continuity of projects. Mr. Miller said timeliness is his concern. He also noted that Lino Lakes has a unique and fast closing door of opportunity to get utilities to the areas in question and if this is not done these areas will be lost. He gave the Crohn property north of Main Street as an example and noted that Mr. Crohn and others cannot wait forever. Mr. Miller also noted that utilities for the Morehouse, Sharpen and Ross properties have been promised and Mr. Ross would like to have service this fall. He had done everything to make the consultant aware of this situation. Mr. Miller said he felt Mr. Stahlberg is a fine engineer and he has the highest respect for him as a friend. However, he felt the question was backup for Mr. Stahlberg and there is also the premise that SEH is the "new kid in town" and has a point to make. Maybe this would make SEH more responsive. Mr. Reinert pointed out that this could lead to double cost in some areas. Mr. Davidson explained that there is not anyone at SEH more interested in staying in Lino Lakes as much as TKDA is. He felt SEH could not be more intense. Mr. Davidson explained that if the Council is afraid that particular areas will build prematurely, moratoriums could be established. He did not feel that all the public hearings and right -of -way acquisitions could be handled as fast as Mr. Miller is suggesting. Voting on the motion, motion carried with Mr. Neal and Mr. Bisel voting no. Cooperative Agreement with Shoreview for Water Connection in Woodridge Estates Area - Mr. Stahlberg has prepared a letter to Mr. Schumacher outlining the cost of bringing the trunk water main from Birch Street and the cost of connecting to Shoreview. Mr. Stahlberg felt it was economically worth while to connect to Shoreview and was not throwing money away since the connection would remain in place after the trunk main was completed to provide an emergency backup water supply to the Woodridge Estates area. In addition this does delay the point in time when Lino Lakes will he required to construct its own water tower. Mr. Bisel moved to approve the Cooperative Agreement with Shoreview for water connection in the Woodridge Estates Area. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Mr. Volk explained that someday this connection will benefit Shoreview as well and maybe at that time some of the cost can be recovered. Motion carried unanimously. Request Engineer to do a Drainage Plan for Outlot F - Mr. Schumacher gave a brief background on Outlot F explaining that a portion of the Outlot has already been offered to the adjoining residents for a nominal cost. Mr. Schumacher had a meeting with several of the residents last. Monday and a majority of the landowners are still in favor on this plan.
