1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING <br />JULY 9, 1990 <br />slightly at this time. Mayor Bisel also noted that the City <br />has a bond issue already in place for the trunk water main. <br />This bond can only be paid by connections in the west side of <br />the City. Council Member Reinert said that the development <br />of the west side is critical so that these two bond issues <br />can be paid. He asked for a delay in approving the <br />Brandywood Estates and Pheasant Hilis subdivision until the <br />City can be sure it is fiscally responsible on the west side. <br />Jeff Shopek engineer with Merila and Associates told the <br />Council that Mr. Vaughan would not like to see any further <br />delay for Pheasant Hills. He noted that this plat was <br />submitted last October and he was told that the plat is in <br />MUSA, service was available and to keep going forward with <br />the platting process. He asked why this matter was not <br />brought up before Mr. Vaughan had spent such a large amount <br />of money in planning and engineering. Mayor Bisel explained <br />that the City already has obligations and although the <br />Council does not wish to delay his development, the City must <br />be fiscally responsible. <br />Council Member Reinert told the developers of Pheasant Hills <br />and Brandywood Estates that as everyone knows the building <br />industry is not hot. He noted that the Council is not here <br />to put them down and asked that everyone work together on <br />this matter. Mr. Shopek reminded the Council of the <br />Developers meeting earlier this spring. All the developers <br />were encouraged to move along. Why were these issues not <br />resolved before the developers were encouraged. Mr. Shopek <br />said that if the plat is not approved tonight, he would not <br />be sure that there will be a project at all. <br />Mr. Shopek noted that there is a $394,000.00 shortfall on the <br />Brandywood Estates and Pheasant Hills development. He asked <br />if something could be arranged to cover this shortfall, could <br />the development proceed. Mayor Bisel said that he did not <br />want to get into that matter at this time. He wanted to get <br />specific information from the staff before any decision was <br />made. Council Member Bohjanen said that he felt unless the <br />figures determined by staff were sufficient, he would only <br />look at development on the west side of Lino Lakes. Mr. <br />Johnston of Merila and Associates asked if Pheasant Hills and <br />Brandywood Estates could come up with future connections to <br />guarantee all costs, would this be enough to issue long term <br />bonds. Mr. MacGillivrary said yes the bond issue would be <br />} - », '( n& a-- ,,,ssment.
