COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 13, 1997 recommendations regarding equipment storage and uniform design standards for antenna buildings. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT, DAVID AHRENS - CONTINUED Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 05, Authorize Preparation of Feasibility Report, Marvy Street Utilities - Mr. Ahrens advised that this past fall, a resident along Marvy Street spoke to Council concerning hooking up to the City's sewer system. The resident is experiencing septic system failure, especially during high groundwater periods, and due to poor soils on the lot, cannot construct a conventional septic system that will guarantee them years of service. Since the rear portion of their lot abuts Apollo Drive, there exists a viable option of extending City sewer and water to serve the area. Mr. Ahrens advised a feasibility report is necessary to investigate construction costs, assessments, and construction alternatives prior to proceedings with this possible project. Mayor Landers asked if the trunk line will cross the outlot. Mr. Ahrens used an overhead to point out the location of the outlot and alignment of the trunk line. Mayor Landers asked if this area is within the Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA). Mr. Ahrens advised MUSA was granted to one parcel in August of 1996 (Lot 6). Mayor Landers stated his understanding that the Metropolitan Council will consider no MUSA expansion. Mr. Ahrens agreed the Metropolitan Council has indicated there will be no MUSA expansion for undeveloped parcels but this is a developed parcel. Council Member Neal moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 05. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 97 - 05 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 06, Approve Plans and Specifications and Order Advertisement for Bids, I-35W/Highway 49 Interchange Commercial Development Area Trunk Utilities - Mr. Ahrens advised the City Council ordered the improvement and preparation of plans and specifications for the 35W/49 interchange Commercial Development Area Trunk Utilities on December 16, 1996. The plans and specifications are complete and City Council approval is required to approve the plans and specifications and order advertisement for bids. Mr. Ahrens noted the trunk utility lines start at a manhole to be constructed under the Centennial Middle School Project and extend northeasterly adjacent to the south 35W right-of-way. At the Oasis gas station property line, the utilities bend to head towards Lake Drive and cross into The Village area of the Town Center. The utilities will then be extended to serve future professional office buildings and stubbed to serve future development. Mr. Ahrens reviewed the proposed project schedule and advised that staff has received confirmation of acreage split on the Tagg property from Anoka County. The County Assessor has classified the Tagg property as multi-level account parcel and split the property as 11.8 acres Residential Homestead and 14.48 acres Commercial/Industrial. Mr. Ahrens recommended that split also be used for assessment purposes and that the Council consider approval of Resolution No. 97 - 06. PAGE 19
