• • 0 CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JULY 8, 1998 Mr. Ahrens explained that this matter was discussed at the April 22, 1998 work session. Since that time, Mr. Kolstad has completed almost all of the work that was required. However, it appeared that there would be items not completed so he did draw on Mr. Kolstad's $21,750.00 letter of credit. There is a problem with a survey. Dave will update the City Council on this matter at the next work session. 21ST AVENUE STREET CONSTRUCTION UPDATE, DAVE AHRENS Dave explained that work is progressing very fast at the Joan Tschida convenience store site. Gerald Rehbein, the developer, has proposed to build 500 - 600 feet of 21st Avenue to the Lino Lakes street standards at his own cost. He is requesting that the City of Centerville contribute $25,000 to the construction. Dave recommended that the City of Lino Lakes approve this plan. Maintenance of 21st Street continues to be an issue. Dave is pursuing a joint powers agreement with Centerville. Brian noted that Mr. Rehbein's proposal is somewhat bizarre and it is difficult to predict what Centerville will do with the proposal. He explained that Ms. Tschida is happy about how rapidly her construction is proceeding. The City Council of the City of Centerville is meeting this evening and will discuss 21st Avenue. Dave will keep the Council updated on this matter. AMENDING STREET STANDARDS, RURAL DESIGN, DAVE AHRENS Dave explained that a property owner on the north side of Lake Amelia is proposing to sell several lots of record fronting on Lake Amelia. The problem is that some of the lots do not have street frontage and a street would have to be constructed to serve the lots before a building permit could be issued. The property owner is proposing to build a street to rural standards rather than the usually street with curb, gutter and storm sewers. Dave described the rural standard that he is proposing and also described where a street with this design could be located in other areas of the City. He referred to the proposed rural street standards as interim standards since these streets would be required to be upgraded to current standards when municipal water and sanitary sewer are extended into the area. Brian explained that he has talked to Alan Brixius about this matter and asked that he and Dave have a further discussion with Alan. John asked Dave if the City has an overall street plan. It appears to him that nothing matches. Dave said no, however, developers are required to look beyond their proposed subdivisions and provide for extension of streets. He also noted that the City does have a transportation plan that is part of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Collector streets are identified in this plan. PAGE 5
