COUNCIL WORK SESSION FEBRUARY 27, 1989 FEBRUARY 27, 1989 and update the Council at the March 13, 1989 meeting. He also asked for a presentation from Centerville and Circle Pines. He noted that they may have a better alternative. Mr. Neal said he would support Mayor Benson and Mr. Reinert in whatever they decided was best. PLAN REVIEW OF SUNRISE MEADOWS Mr. Stahlberg showed overhead maps of this subdivision that showed final locations of the water and sewer mains. He noted that three property owners adjoining Sunrise Meadows on the west have petitioned for utilities so that they can subdivide their property. He suggested that the water main be looped from the trunk line west on Gladstone, north on Sunrise Drive to Green Briar Drive then east to the trunk lines. Sunrise Drive would be restored to its current status. He noted that the residents on the west side of Sunrise Drive could be notified that the services were available and they could petition for the services if they desired. This would be similar to the situation on Laurene Avenue and-the Woodridge Estates development.

Mr. Reinert was concerned that this would cause delay of the entire project since residents in the Sunrise area have been so opposed to any sewer and water improvements. Mr. Miller explained that he is going to suggest to the Council later that the entire MUSA boundary be re- assessed. The one area he is considering eliminating from the MUSA boundary is the Lexington Park Lakeview area. If they are removed from the MUSA area, utilities will not be available to them. Mr. Reinert said that he felt the primary goal is to get the trunk lines north to the prison. He suggested that any change of this type could substantially delay the project past the construction season. The lot subdivisions must go through the P & Z Board and the matter of supplying services can be dealt with at that time. The plans for Sunrise are to remain as submitted and any revisions are to be made after the formal procedures are followed for replatting and petitions received for utility extension. Mr. Stahlberg explained the drainage pattern for Sunrise Meadows. He noted that Mr. Volk had recommended that the drainage of Gladstone Drive be tied into the storm sewer because of the pattern of water flow. This has been incorporated into the drainage plan. Mr. Stahlberg explained that he and Mr. Volk have spent a lot of time talking to the residents on the south end of Ulmer's Rice Lake Addition regarding drainage and feels it was time well spent. Mr. Stahlberg noted that the portion of 2nd Avenue abutting -Sunrise Meadow on the east will be constructed to state aid standards utilizing MSA funds. Mr. Bisel asked if there was
