COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 12, 1997 <br />Council Member Bergeson asked about the status of the assessment if the property owner does <br />not connect. Mr. Ahrens explained the portion of the project outside of the MUSA and explained <br />those properties cannot receive sanitary sewer improvement unless their system is failing. He <br />reported he spoke with the Met Council staff about this and they indicated their understanding of <br />the need to install utilities due to the road reconstruction. Since property owners can only <br />connect if their septic system is failing, Mr. Ahrens stated he does not believe the cost for <br />sanitary sewer can be assessed and suggested it be deferred (until connection is made). He noted <br />that per City Charter, residents who do not want the project can petition against it. If that <br />happens, it will be up to the Council to determine if the project should proceed. <br />Council Member Lyden asked if the trail on the east side is included. Mr. Ahrens stated it is and <br />reviewed resident's preference for an easterly location. He advised there is adequate right-of-way <br />for this alignment. <br />Council Member Kuether expressed concern with regard to the August 25th ordering of bids and <br />noted the Council had discussed waiting until a November date, after the election. Mr. Ahrens <br />stated this could be delayed. Council Member Kuether noted the ballot may result in changing <br />the general policy for how street assessments are handled. <br />Mr. Schumacher explained this is a State Aid roadway where State Aid pays for a majority of the <br />cost. He clarified that with the Charter amendment, the question is about an assessment between <br />the property owner and City (not State Aid). Therefore, the referendum will not have an impact <br />on this particular project. <br />Council Member Kuether indicated support to delay all street projects until after the election. <br />Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 63 as presented. Council <br />Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Resolution No. 97 - 63 can be found at the end of these minutes. <br />Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 64, Order Preparation of Report on Improvement, <br />Lilac Street Utility Extension - Mr. Ahrens explained a property owner on Lilac Street is <br />planning an addition onto their business that will require sanitary sewer and water to be extended <br />to serve their property. He advised that to properly investigate the extension of utilities along <br />Lilac Street from Fourth Avenue to Apollo Drive, it is necessary to order the preparation of a <br />feasibility study to investigate estimated costs, assessments, and other issues related to a possible <br />project. It was noted the properties on the south side of Lilac Street are located in the "Charter <br />exemption" areas of the City while the properties on the north side of the street are Charter areas. <br />Mr. Ahrens recommended the proposed resolution be adopted. <br />Council Member Kuether asked how the feasibility report would be paid for if the project does <br />not proceed and whether an engineer's estimate should be considered. <br />PAGE 7 <br />
