COUNCIL WORK SESSION APRIL 11, 1990 Capital Improvements Plan Lakes. He explained that if the school is to stand by itself without a recreation area, about twelve (12) to fourteen (14) acres would be needed. Normally twenty (20) to thirty (30) acres would be needed and this would equate to approximate forty (40) to fifty (50) lots. The District owns two sites in Lino Lakes, one on Elm Street and the second on Birch Street. The District is looking at continuing development in the southwest corner of the District and is looking at that area for the new location. Mr. Schneider noted that sewer and water availability is a critical factor in locating the new school. He explained that Metro Waste Control feels it will probably be three (3) years before the new gravity flow trunk will be completed. This could influence where the school is constructed. Council Member Neal asked if trunk sewer and water is being constructed on Centerville Road south of Lino Lakes. Mr. Schneider said yes and it is sized to accommodate Lino Lakes when the need arises. It was noted that the District is looking at the area east of Ware Road and South of Birch Street as a location for the new school. Mr. Boxrud said that cutting out lots for a school would drastically change what is being platted. It was noted that when Orrin Thompson built in Coon Rapids, he was required to donate land for a school after building a certain number of homes. This would be a method of locating a school on trunk service lines in Lino Lakes. The Council suggested that Mr. McClellan, Centennial School District Superintendent come in and visit Mr. Schumacher to let the City know what the District is planning. Mr. Schneider referred to the plans for constructing the main entrance to the Chomonix Golf Course through Aqua Lane. He explained that the Comprehensive Trunk Water Plan indicates that a water tower will eventually be located in this area. This tower will serve the golf course as well as the City. There was discussion on the benefits of the plan to the City as well as to the County. There was discussion on the construction of Second Avenue. It is planned to re -route traffic while the road is under construction because the DNR and the CORP are very concerned about the area. Drainage Area Section No. 8 was discussed. This area is north of Main Street and planning should be done at this time so that the plan is in place when development takes place. Drainage Area South of Shenandoah was discussed. This drainage should be planned as part of the overall drainage plan for the City.
