COUNCIL WORK SESSION APRIL 11, 1990 Capital Improvements Plan Section 18 - 19 Drainage is currently being constructed in the plats and will be completed this year. Mr. Schneider noted that the costs to develop this drainage plan will be used as a basis to formulate an assessment to developers as they develop in all areas of the City. The Miller drainage ditch and the Wood Duck Trail drainage ditches were discussed. Mayor Bisel asked if the City had any plans to go into these ditches and clean them when it is dry to avoid large maintenance costs? Mr. Schumacher said this would not be in the CIP since this is considered maintenance expenditure rather than a capital expenditure. He did note that ditches are cleaned and further developed in new plats as part of the developers expense. Mr. Schneider explained that many cities develop funds to clean ditches. Mr. Schneider addressed the 1990 improvement projects which include the West Central Trunk Phase II improvement, the Outlet Mall, Lakes Addition No. 9 improvement, the Montain property improvement and the Barott property improvement. The West Central Trunk Phase II and the Outlet Mall are still up in the air. Mr. Schneider has received word that there are plans to do some developing in the Lake Addition No. 9 subdivision. There is a possibility of forty five (45) or forty six (46) lots in this plat. The developers of the Montain property plan to develop thirty (30) lots each year for the next four (4) years. The developers of the Barott property plan to develop forty (40) lots each of the next five (5) years. Mr. Schneider addressed the 1991 construction projects. These include the trunk gravity sewer (phase I) for the area south of Birch Street connecting to the Laurene Avenue lift station, the Wenzel property, the West Central Trunk, Phase III north of 77th Street, and the development of the Morehouse property. The 1992 improvements include an elevated water storage facility near the Correctional Facility. Mr. Volk noted that this improvement has been moved up one year on the priority list. He noted that currently Lino Lakes is connected to the Circle Pines water facilities. Circle Pines is considering a new water treatment plant and this could cost Lino Lakes a great deal of money. It would mean that Lino Lakes could no longer share the Circle Pines elevated tower. There was discussion regarding elevated storage tanks verses ground storage tanks. The sewer line to Ross's Corners would be a 1992 improvement. Anoka County plans to construct the golf course access from Lake Drive in 1992. The County will be sending letters to residents along West Shadow Lake Drive regarding this matter.
