COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 14, 1989 Schumacher asked if there is documentation regarding how many youth from Lino Lakes use the Bureau service. He asked that this information be sent to him. Mayor Benson noted that $1,000.00 has been budgeted for this service for 1989. He thanked Ms. Zapzalka and Ms. Jabas for coming this evening. PUBLIC HEARING - WEST CENTRAL TRUNK SEWER AND WATER MAINS, PHASE II Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 7:33 P.M. Mr. Stahlberg explained the background of this improvement using the overhead projector. He outlined potential areas for sewer extension in the future and showed where Phase I ends. Mr. Stahlberg's map was color coded and he noted that the red areas were expecting services in the very near future. The intent of the present proposal (Phase II) is to get services to the area on Lake Drive south of Schwan's Ice Cream to serve the Manufacturers Outlet Mall. The proposed location of the route for Phase II takes into consideration that services will have to be extended northward in the near future to service the red area. Mr. Stahlberg noted that the green areas of the map are landowners who have already submitted petitions for service. Meetings have been held with the landowners and the route was established with their agreement. He noted two alternate routes were examined. If either of these routes were selected, this route would still have to be used to extend service to the north to service the red areas. Lorena Richards, 7691 Lake Drive explained that she owns the corner lot at 77th Street and Lake Drive. She asked if she would be assessed for both sides of her lot. Mr. Stahlberg explained the procedure. Mr. Neal asked how long the landowners have to pay the assessments and Mr. Stahlberg explained fifteen (15) years. Rochelle Miller, 7725 Marilyn Drive asked if Mr. Stahlberg met with only the people who are affected by this particular improvement. She asked why the entire area was not invited to meet with Staff because this will be a major inconvenience to everyone in the area. Mr. Stahlberg said he has met with every landowner who will be assessed. Greg LeVessuer, 698 - 77th Street noted that the Wahlberg and Barott properties are zoned commercial (only the Barott property is zoned commercial). He asked if the City will allow these properties to be rezoned for residential building. He noted that his property is zoned commercial and he had elected not to participate in the assessment because he thought he could not be rezoned for residential use. Mr. Stahlberg explained the issue is not how the property is zoned but who wants sewer and who does not.
