Consider Ordinance No. 09 - 97, Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment - This item was tabled earlier upon adoption of the agenda. ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT REPORT, DAVID AHRENS Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 73, Accept Report and Order Public Hearing for Lilac Street Utility Extension - Mr. Ahrens noted the Council ordered the preparation of a feasibility report investigating utility extension along Lilac Street between Fourth Avenue and Apollo Drive. The report is complete and, in accordance with Minnesota State Statutes 429 and the Lino Lakes City Charter, the feasibility report is to be received by the Council and a public hearing scheduled. Mr. Ahrens advised the public hearing is scheduled for the July 14, 1997, Council meeting and an informational meeting will be held with the property owners adjacent to the project area prior to the public hearing. In response to Council Member Bergeson, Mr. Ahrens noted the MUSA line jurisdiction and the Charter area.

Council Member Bergeson suggested consideration be given to what the Council's position would be should this scenario occur. Mr. Ahrens reviewed the anticipated time schedule and noted since Charter properties are included, it will probably be September before this project would be ordered.

The Code revision states that connection to the other utility must be done within a seven year time frame from the later date of connection to the first utility or when the second utility is available. The Code revision is worded this way to cover the case when the watermain is installed but no
