June 11, 1974 Mr. Burandt said the airport had not been considered. The main purpose is to relieve the Anoka Treatment plant which is only working at 57% capacity. He said the sewage from Anoka is in the Minneapolis water system six hours after leaving Anoka. Mr. Jaworski returned to the paragraph on Page 2 concerning Centerville as the primary area to be sewered. He repeated the earlier statement that the consideration of Centerville only came after the Lino Lakes line had been recommended. He questioned the requirements necessary for an interceptor to be designated as a Metro Line. Mr. Burandt said that servicing more than one community was not required. He pointed out the criteria necessary for the designation of a Metro Line. This refers to 1000 acres of land or all or a major portion of a community. Mr. Zelink a agreed with Mr. Marier in that this is a Political report. He pointed out to Mr. Burandt that the Highways had taken many acres of land for the construct- ion of the two major interstates crossing Lino Lakes and the fact that Anoka County had taken some 3500 acres of land and lakes for open space. It would seem to him, that in view of all that has been taken from the City of Lino Lakes, that the Metropolitan Council should be trying to assist the City to assume a normal growth pattern instead of curtailing all growth with the denial of sewers. Mr. Marier questioned Point 4 at the bottom of Page 6. He recommends not skipping through open lands and then recommends allowing additional capacity in the NSSSB line for Blaine and the sewering of Ham Lake and Columbus by the 2000. How can these two statements mean the same thing? Mr. Burandt explained that the 36 inch at the Circle Pines limits is assigned to certain Communities. The plan is to utilitze this line to capacity in order not to have to install another major interceptor before the year 2000. Mr. Marier questioned the statement "do not go over open lands" an interceptor must go through open lands for the proper survival of Lino Lakes and Centerville. These two communities cannot survive without an interceptor. Mr. Brandt said that he had met with Mr. Carley on Monday and had gone over the comprehensive sewer plans for Lino Lakes and Centerville.' He did not use those plans because it would spread the capacity too far to the East. He felt that this capacity should be reserved. Mr. Marier asked where the Metro Sewer Boards Study and Plans were? Mr. Burandt felt that this study did not cover all the area that it should have. Mr. Bohjanen reminded Mr. Burandt that we have a State facility sitting on a creed that flows directly into the chain of lakes. There was some discussion on the North Road interceptor with Mr. Burandt saying the plan to enter this interceptor at County Road J and Lexington is a good plan because the capacity at that point is greater than on North Road. 1 1 1
