SEPTEMBER 9, 1975 Mr. Barton thought it would serve a one -half mile corridor along Main Street but Mr. Payne said that it would not serve any portion of Lino Lakes. Mr. Gotwald said the corridor for service to Lino Lakes had been in an early report. Mr. McLean pointed out that in the memorandum it is suggested that the East nine square miles of Lino Lakes be served by this installation. Mr. McLean felt that the decisions of the Metro Council are a moving target and that it is impossible to rely on a decision made by that body since the changes are so rapid. Mayor Bohjanen asked if the City Council would have the opportunity to present their ideas at the meeting with the Enviornmental and Transportation Commission and was told that they would. Mr. Barton asked Mr. Zelinka what portion of Lino Lakes he felt was buildable and Mr. Zelinka said that a conservative estimate on his part would be 45 to 50 %. Mr. Gotwald felt that since Anoka County has removed 2500 acres of land from consideration, that approximately 90% of the remaining land is buildable with utility service. Mr. Gotwald repeated that the true cost of this interim system is not listed. He also felt that the Comprehensive Land Use Plan should not be changed since this is an interim system and should not reflect on the long range plans as so laid out in the Land Use Plan. If done, this would eliminate the basic criteria for sewer service. There was some discussion of the schools in the area, especially Dist. No. 12. Mr. Norman Fritchie, a member of the school board, was in the audience. He said that the Centennial Schools are at about 65% capacity. This would indicate that any major development in the area would have very little impact on that School System. There was information that the White Bear School District also has a declining population. A discussion of the cost figures was introduces with Mr. Barton asking Mr. Gotwald where he felt the cost figures were not fair. Mr. Gotwald said Mr. Burandt used the cost figures for the materials from his office, but these were just for materials and did not take into consideration how or where they were to be used. Mr. Gotwald still felt that the $450,000.00 cost figure is not a true cost figure. Mayor Bohjanen thanked the officials and residents for attending this meeting. He felt that all that could be said and accomplished had been done and that the answer will have to be from the meeting scheduled for September 10, 1975. Mr. Barton felt that it is most important that the Council attend that meeting. All members plan to be there. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn at 9:50 P.M. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Aye. These minutes were approved at the October 14, 1975 Council Meeting. ?JaA/1-eA} CLERK - TREASURER
