143 <br />COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 13, 1995 <br />Mayor Reinert asked Mr. Caine if he remembered the Comprehensive <br />Plan amendment meeting held by this Council on July 24, 1989. <br />Mr. Caine said no. Mayor Reinert noted that Mr. Caine was at <br />this meeting and read a portion of the minutes from the meeting <br />in which Mr. Caine told Mr. Miller (former City Planner) that all <br />the landowners in his area were in favor of bringing sewer and <br />water service to their property. Mr. Caine said that he had <br />discussed these minutes with Ms. Wyland this afternoon. He <br />explained that this statement is either misquoted or taken out of <br />context. Mr. Caine said the landowners who want to develop their <br />land do want sewer and water services but the people who live <br />there do not want these services. He said he has not been in <br />favor of development of this area and does not anticipate being <br />in favor in the future. Mayor Reinert wanted it to be known that <br />Mr. Caine's current statements are in conflict with the <br />statements he made in 1989. <br />Mr. Powell asked to address the technical issues raised by Mr. <br />Caine. Mr. Powell had in his hand a written review of Clearwater <br />Creek completed by Anoka County and dated February 8, 1995. The <br />review was done by Jane Pemble, Traffic Engineer for Anoka <br />County. This review does not mention reconstruction of Otter <br />Lake Road. The review concerns additional right-of-way which <br />would be required for future reconstruction and calculations <br />regarding drainage, a permit for the roadway connection and noise <br />requirements for the residential area adjacent to the roadway. <br />Mr. Powell explained that the 10 inch sewer forcemain was in <br />stalled in 1976. The City of Lino Lakes processed a <br />comprehensive sewer plan in 1990 which was approved by the <br />Metropolitan Council. This plan assumed that Lino Lakes would <br />have 80 connections all using this forcemain. To date no <br />connections have been made. <br />Mr. Powell explained that staff has estimated that the first two <br />(2) phases of Clearwater Creek or something under 200 lots can be <br />constructed without the need of a water tank. Although Mr. Caine <br />alluded to 70 homes, something between 150 and 200 homes is more <br />reasonable. SEH has prepared a well study for this area and has <br />also estimated these same figures. If a tank would be required, <br />it would be paid by a revenue fund which is supported by the <br />water users and not the general tax payers. The utility costs <br />for the subdivision are trunk utility costs which again are paid <br />by the users of the system into an area and unit charge fund. No <br />general tax dollars are used for these improvements. The <br />construction costs for the lift station and well also come from <br />the area and unit charge fund which is generated by the first two <br />(2) phases of the proposed subdivision. Mr. Powell stressed that <br />these utility systems are not paid by the general tax payer but <br />PAGE 22 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
