208 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 24, 1992 Trunk Phase II feasibility report for the extension of trunk watermains and sanitary sewers through this same area was prepared for the City in June, 1989. Since that time, the configuration of lots and roadways in the project area has evolved which impacts the utility alignment and the estimated construction costs. The extension of trunk utilities in this area is consistent with the comprehensive plans which have been prepared for the City. Utility service is also critical to the development of business interest in the Lino Business Park which flanks Apollo Drive. Extending utilities under Apollo Drive would minimize right -of -way acquisition costs. It would also reduce the need for utility easements along back lot lines making properties in this area more attractive to development. The estimated construction cost for the extension of the West Central Trunk to Lilac Street is $405,000.00. The assessments generated by the lots which would be served are expected to total about $520,000.00. It is proposed to prepare a preliminary study to evaluate alternative alignments, estimated costs, assessments and financing alternatives. Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 92 - 105. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 92 - 105 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Resolution No. 92 - 106 Ordering Preparation of report on the T.H. 49 /CSAH No. 23 (Lake Drive) Intersection Re- Alignment in the Form of a "Level One Layout Document" in Accordance with MnDOT Procedures for the Development of the Project by Cooperative Agreement - This project has been in process since 1989. It has been a complex and difficult process as it involves a cooperative agreement with both MnDOT and Anoka County. The process experienced a significant setback in November, 1991 when MnDOT decided that this intersection could only be considered as part of the turn back of T.H. 49 to Anoka County. At a meeting with MnDOT and Anoka County on August 12, 1992, a significant breakthrough was made when MnDOT and Anoka County agreed that this intersection should and could be taken out of the turn back process. This development enables the City to proceed to implement the project by re- entering the cooperative agreement procedure. Assuming cooperation with MnDOT and Anoka County, construction could begin in the spring of 1993. The next step in the re- defined process is the preparation of a feasibility report or "Level One Layout Document" in MnDOT jargon. PAGE 9 1 1
