l� COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 27, 1995 adequate capacity. Mr. Powell said he met with the Metropolitan Waste Water Services personel on Friday and verified this information as well as the plan for the City of Lino Lakes to connect to the forcemain with a 153 lots. Beyond the 153 lots, whenever the Metropolitan Council Waste Water Services reviews the City's sewer extension application, they will keep in mind the future and how future services will be provided for this area. Mr. Powell said that the 153 lots proposed for Clear Water Creek subdivision can certainly be connected to the forcemain which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan prepared in 1990. Mr. Powell continued, the SEH study regarding Otter Lake Road prepared in August, 1994 provides a preliminary study of the proposed plat. There is also an extensive study, completed January 17, 1995 which includes the commercial and industrial area around the interchange. The findings from this study were consistent with the August, 1994 review of the initial concept plan. Mr. Powell noted that Mrs. Cunningham indicated that she had a letter from the Hugo City Administrator stating the work outlined in the Joint Powers Agreement regarding drainage has not been completed. He said there may be confusion because the Agreement that was undertaken does not only analyze the drainage, it also requires management policies to be outlined, as well as funding sources and other similar requirements. As mentioned in Mr. Powell's February memorandum, the hydrological study has been completed and this has been confirmed by the Hugo City Engineer in a letter dated February 20, 1995. Mr. Powell quoted from the OSM letter, "the hydrologic and hydrological analysis and calculations necessary to develop this plat were completed prior to the meeting between the City of Hugo and the City of Lino Lakes on February 1, 1995". Mr. Powell said that the understanding from the very beginning was that the hydraulic study would be completed and then the two (2) cities would meet to discuss the findings. It was also the understanding that policies and the funding mechanism would be prepared after the joint meeting. Mr. Powell continued quoting from the letter, "they do not believe that any further analysis is warranted in order to finalize storm water policies in this area". Mr. Powell explained that the portion of the Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Hugo regarding the hydraulic analysis is completed. H said that discussion at the joint meeting included how the joit study findings would be implemented, and how the improvements will be funded such as by the RCWD or by the cities independently. Mr. Powell noted that some of the speakers tonight said that all phases of the proposed development would have to be completed in PAGE 13 1 1 1
