COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 26, 1990 Barton - Aschman to work with the Department of Natural Resources, Corp of Army Engineers and the Rice Creek Watershed District to determine what is developable and what is not. Curb and gutter was discussed. Council Member Reinert noted that mistake when Main Street was improved and suggested that the entire area being developed contain curb and gutter to improve the appearance. He also explained that the improvement is needed for both the tax benefit and the human safety benefit. Council Member Reinert moved to proceed with Option No. 1 A, B and C and to pursue the TIF method of financing. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Addition of Street to MSA System - Mr. Boxrud explained that there are incentives to add additional mileage to our MSA system each year. One incentive is that it increases the maintenance aspect of the Lino Lakes fund. Mr. Boxrud has prepared several recommendations for the City Council to consider and he briefly outlined each option. Mr. Boxrud recommended that the Council remove 80th Street between 20th Avenue and the east City limits from the MSA system and straighten out the alignment for 7th Avenue between Birch Street and 62nd Street. This would make 1.09 miles available to be designated for the following improvement. Designate 21st Avenue (just west of I -35E) from Main Street to Birch Street and Birch Street from 21st Avenue to Centerville Road to the Lino Lakes MSA system. The Council reviewed Mr. Boxrud's recommendations. Mayor Bisel agreed with the 7th Avenue realignment and noted that if this were to be constructed, Deerwood Lane may not have to be constructed through to Red Maple Lane. This would alleviate some of the concerns of the residents in Colonial Woods. Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve Option No. 2 and Option No. 3 as recommended by Mr. Boxrud. Council Member Reinert seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Update Comprehensive Land Use Plan - Mr. Schneider explained that he has spent a considerable amount of time working with Mr. Boxrud on this matter and in meetings at the Metropolitan Council. He will be putting a report together for the Council after some permanent solutions have been determined by the Metropolitan Waste Control for the disposal of Lino Lake's sewage. Mr. Schneider explained the location of the six sewer districts in this City and where the sewage goes after it leaves Lino Lakes. Conflicting information is being given to this City regarding District No. 4 and Mr. Schneider
