1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 27, 1995 <br />order to get the commercial and industrial development that the <br />City wants around the interchange. He explained that the initial <br />two (2) phases will generate enough area and connection charges <br />to cover the cost of the initial well and the lift station. Mr. <br />Powell said that utilities to serve the commercial and industrial <br />development around the interchange will not come for a while. He <br />said the proposed plat is the very first step in getting utility <br />service to the commercial and industrial area. It was never <br />indicated that 450 lots were required to provide utilities to the <br />commercial and industrial area. <br />Mr. Elder asked about cutting off the sewage to do repairs on the <br />forcemain pipe. Mr. Powell explained that the 10 inch forcemain <br />on Cedar is pumped through a lift station in Centerville. If <br />there was to be an interruption to the forcemain, the pumping <br />would be stopped at the lift station or pumped into a temporary <br />holding tank or truck. Mr. Powell explained the three different <br />times that the forcemain had to be repaired. <br />Mr. Powell said that the three (3) factors for determining <br />wetlands was mentioned by a speaker this evening. These factors <br />are soils, vegetation and water table. He again said that the <br />RCWD has reviewed the delineations that have been prepared and <br />concurs with the field study. Mr. Powell said that many of the <br />other issues that were raised have been followed up since the <br />initial memorandum of February 10, 1995 and have confirmed what <br />was said at that time and the follow up is consistent with the <br />review of last fall. <br />Council Member Bergeson said that when the City Council heard the <br />review of the drainage plan at the joint meeting with Hugo, the <br />Hugo engineer presented the idea that one of the keys to drainage <br />for this area is the culvert under Cedar Street. Council Member <br />Bergeson said it appeared that it was his feeling if the culvert <br />was cleaned and maintained, this would go a long way toward <br />accommodating any potential water problems in the area because of <br />heavy rains or whatever. He asked if Mr. Powell concurred with <br />this assessment of the culvert under Cedar Street and who is <br />responsible for getting the culvert cleaned. Mr. Powell <br />explained that the culvert is outside of the Lino Lakes boundary <br />but it does affect the entire watershed district and is a concern <br />for Lino Lakes. He agreed with the statement of one of the <br />speakers and said that the culvert needs to be maintained near <br />the inlet and outlet. There is irregular topography and debris <br />that needs attention. -Mr. Powell said that the culvert is <br />probably frozen at this time and under water. He felt through <br />working with the City of Hugo, the RCWD and the contractor for <br />the proposed development, the culvert can be cleaned and verify <br />that it is clean. Mr. Powell said that the City should work with <br />PAGE 14 <br />17 <br />
