• • CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MARCH 13, 2006 APPROVED 1 2 WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP LOW PRESSURE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM (SE 3 LINO LAKES 4 5 City Engineer Studenski advised White Bear Township is extending a low-pressure 6 sanitary sewer and water main system to their northern limits of the Township just south 7 of C.R. J and West Bald Eagle Boulevard. The City of Lino Lakes has been contacted by 8 White Bear Township to see if we are interested in a future extension of their proposed 9 utility project. Also, the Township has received a petition from their resident requesting 10 connection to the new utilities for a vacant lot owned in Lino Lakes. The vacant lot abuts 11 the Township on West Bald Eagle Boulevard where the new utilities are to be installed. 12 The actual connection location would be North Hobe Court in White Bear Township. 13 This is an existing neighborhood currently serviced by private systems. 14 15 City Engineer Studenski explained that if feasible, the new system could be enlarged to 16 provide future service to the West Oaks neighborhood in Lino Lakes. Lino Lakes would 17 pay the extra cost. It should be noted that White Bear Township is anticipating 18 constructing the improvements this spring. Any additional costs related to capacity 19 increases to service Lino Lakes are not currently programmed within the draft Five Year 20 CIP. Costs for this type of improvement would typically be borne by the City Trunk 21 Utility Fund. Any consideration of agreement with White Bear Township would need to 22 include evaluation of financing of the project. 23 24 City Engineer Studenski noted the area in Lino Lakes is currently defined as Low Density 25 Unsewered Residential. It is outside of the staged growth area and is outside of the 26 MUSA boundary. 27 28 The Council directed staff to continue to work with White Bear Township on this project. 29 30 INTERCHANGE IMPROVMENTS UPDATE 31 32 City Administrator Heitke advised staff is continuing to work with Anoka County, 33 Mn/DOT and State Legislators regarding funding for the 35W/Lake Drive and 35E/Main 34 Street interchanges. He provided a status update for each project. 35 36 The Council directed staff to continue to pursue reconstruction of both 35W and 35E 37 interchange reconstruction and work with the City's financial, engineering and legal 38 consultants to evaluate interchange funding sources including special assessments and 39 Municipal State Aid Funds. 40 41 The Council also agreed the City should use available State Aid Trunk Highway 42 Turnback funds to cover local share of costs related to 35E/Main Street preliminary and 43 final design, and 35W/Lake Drive and funding source review expenditures. The Council 44 agreed a resolution supporting the City of Centerville's proposed CSAH 14 and 45 interchange improvement legislation should not be placed on a future Council agenda. 46
