The Clerk read the police reports for June. 7/10/72 Mr. Bohjanen reported that our Civil Defense had attended several parades on the Fourth of July and the float had taken top honors at Blaine and the North Subur- ben Parade. He had heard many remarks made by high officials that'we must have a good organization to put something like that together. He felt it made good advertising for Lino Lakes. The comprehensive sewer plan was discussed. Mr. Gotwald noted that under PCA regulations no extension on any existing or new sewer facility is allowed unless we have an approved comprehensive sewer plan. He thought we might be able to get around this if we had an emergency. He stated that this must be tied into a land use plan, show direction of flow, size of pipes, rate of flow and future population, all to be tied into the zoning and based on ultimate use. The plan must be approved by the Metro Sewer Board, the Metro Council and the PCA. Mr. Gotwald had researched the costs on such plans; some firms had based their cost on 1% of the total estimated construction cost. He felt Carley could do the entire plan for _$4000- $4500. His firm has done wprl pm the perimeter of the Village and is familiar with the sizing in adjacent lines. They made the comprehensive plan for White Bear Township. Mr. Jaworski asked what would happen if the land use map were to chance after we adopted a comprehensive sewer plan. Mr. Gotwald stated that all land use plans are in a state of flux and so are the sewer plans. However, most changes involve only a small area of theltotal. The pipes are oversized by 100 %,so that most changes can be accommodated withour problems. Glenn Rehbein wished the Council would act on a comprehensive sewer plan so he wouldn't have to wait another 2 years for sewer in Shenandoah. He noted he had received the PCA letter in January and we haven't moved on it. According to the letter Mr. Locher read, money is available. He felt we should get the plan for $4000 as it would probably cost $10,000 next year. Also, we have to think of what we must do when we take over Jandric;s sewer as the taxpayer's won't pay for hauling that every day. Mr. Zelinka asked if there was any work Mr. Gotwald could do before getting the land use plan as some areas like Lakeview will stay the same. Mr. Gotwald said they have a pretty complete plan of the NW area of the Village which was author- ized in 1964, and some other work is done like Shenandoah. There was more discussion. Mr. Jaworski moved to table the comprehensive sewer plan until after the various Boards have met on the open space and land use plans. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried. After discussion, Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize the charge for assessment searches be set at $4.00. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Continued--- - SEE NEW BOOK
