COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 Ordinance No. 04-02 can be found in the City Clerk's office. Public Hearing, Marshan Lane Utility Improvements, Jim Studenski — City Engineer Studenski advised the City received a petition on September 25, 2001, from residents and property owners on Marshan Lane, east of Lake Drive, for preparation of a feasibility report on sanitary sewer and water service. The City Council received the petition and ordered the feasibility report on October 8, 2001. On January 14, 2002, the City Council received the feasibility report. A copy of the report was then sent out to the residents for their determination as to whether or not they want to continue with the public improvement process. City Engineer Studenski indicated the City received a petition from four of the 10 residents on May 13, 2002, requesting the installation of sanitary sewer and water utilities. The petition meets the City Charter requirements that at least 25 percent of the benefited property owners have signed the petition for the City to proceed with the public hearing. On June 10, 20 the City Council received the petition and called for the public hearing. City Engineer Studenski indicated the estimated cost of the public hearing, the City must allow 60 days to elapse befog required by City Charter. 15,403.00. Following the er action can be taken, as City Engineer Studenski reviewed the feasibility re tha d been presented on January 14, 2002 and supplied the City Council with copies of the dat- assessment roll, including the updated assessment rates in effect for 2002, with a total a r' e st of $215,403.29. He noted, due to the updated 2002 assessment rates, the total proj ost had increased slightly since January, at which time the total project cost was approxima : 00. City Engineer Studenski indicated in .e µ "of 2001 the City received a request for the subdivision of the property located Lane. At approximately that same time, verbal inquiries had been made from other r` , its on Marshan Lane regarding the cost to extend City utilities to their properties. 001 a neighborhood meeting was held and on September 25, 2001 the City c'`ve.�a pe ition from the residents on Marshan Lane requesting a feasibility report. During the l tober 8, 2001 City Council meeting, the Council ordered the feasibility report. City Engineer Studenski stated this project would include the extension of sanitary sewer, with connection to the existing sanitary sewer line located just outside of the City Hall entrance, and the extension of water service to Marshan Lane. Street restoration would only occur for those areas disturbed by this project and a street reconstruction project was not proposed as part of this project. No curb, gutter or storm sewer improvements would be added as part of this project. City Engineer Studenski indicated the east end of Marshan Lane would require additional utility easement to service all the properties that currently exist. If this was the intent of the project, that easement would be required, however, if the City were unable to attain that easement, the scope of the project would be reduced. COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 City Engineer Studenski indicated this project would have interim funding out of the Area and Unit Fund with the ultimate replacement of those funds through assessments to benefited properties. The City Finance Director would determine whether there would be a need to issue bonds for this project. City Engineer Studenski stated the residents affected by this project would be those owning property on Marshan Lane and the travelers along Lake Drive. The utilities would be extended on the east side of Lake Drive to Marshan Lane, therefore, there would be a minor affect on the vehicular traffic on Lake Drive. City Engineer Studenski stated, as with all other City assessed projects, trunk area and unit charges would be applied for both sanitary sewer and water, as well as lateral charges for the sanitary sewer and water main and Surface Water Management charges. City Engineer Studenski stated the extension of sanitary sewer a feasible option for the City and residents. This project has bee project is to move forward, it would follow with their recomme would be assessed appropriately. water main down Marshan Lane is ted by the residents and, if the do so and the residents City Engineer Studenski advised City staff recommends that ty Council close the public hearing for the Marshan Lane Utility Improvements and begi 6 -day comment period. Councilmember Carlson requested confirmation one last fall with nine signatures, and another Studenski stated this was correct. He indicat feasibility report for the extension of sani Lane. The second petition received in forward. petitions had been received on this project, ith four signatures. City Engineer e initial petition had requested the completion of a d water main to serve the residents on Marshan equested that the process for this project move Councilmember Carlson noted the ` . er requires at least 25 percent of the benefited property owners to have signed a pet • rder • project to continue. She expressed concern that the number of residents who signs e . itio s dropped from nine on the original petition to only four on the second. She requested c firmation that if during the 60 -day comment period, another four benefiting property owners petitioned against this project, then the project would not move forward. City Engineer Studenski stated this was correct. Mayor Bergeson suggested that the City Attorney address what would make this project move forward or be abandoned. He noted at this point the City has four out of 10 residents asking that the project move forward. It was City Attorney Hawkins' opinion that, unless a petition is filed within the 60 -day comment period with four or more signatures opposing the project, then the project could be ordered by the City Council. COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 Mayor Bergeson questioned, if the project proceeds and the residents are assessed, how many years would the residents have to repay the assessment. City Engineer Studenski stated a property owner could pay the entire assessment at one time, or it was typical for the City to allow 15 years to repay an assessment through the tax rolls. Mayor Bergeson confirmed that the proposed assessments were only to make water and sanitary sewer lines available to the property owners and once the project was completed, the property owners would then incur costs to connect to the. City utility lines and to run the necessary plumbing from their homes. City Engineer Studenski stated this was correct. He indicated there would be no requirement at this point for the residents to connect to the City utilities, however, the assessments would be applied upon completion of the project. Councilmember Carlson noted the proposed assessment roll indicated a variety of lot sizes and total increase in market value to the •ty found out after the fact that w this would be addressed assessments. She noted the assessments cannot total more th property. She stated the situation has occurred in the past where it could not charge the full amount of the assessments. She ques if the same situation occurred in this case. City Engineer Studenski indicated the intent was to prep for the project and following through with an assess could establish a dollar amount that the assessment hearing. He indicated there would be the ability t the assessments were challenged. City Administrator Waite Smith question completed to determine the market valu does not have properties appraised indicated the policy in the past has are any appeals. If there was a cha determine the market value roll, then the City could proc s and specifications, request bids ng. He suggested the City Council ul . . t exceed prior to the assessment e project prior to awarding the contract if oint in the process would the appraisals be . City Attorney Hawkins stated the City generally as a question on the amount of the assessment. He e assessment hearing and determine whether there an assessment, then the City would require an appraisal to were no appeals after the adoption of the assessment oject. Mayor Bergeson opened the pub c hearing at 7:10 p.m. Clyde Rehbein, owner of 580 Marshan Lane, stated he had purchased this property from his mother last summer. He explained the reason there were only four signatures on the recent petition was because he had been requesting signatures during the Memorial Day holiday and had only been able to contact four of the residents. He noted one resident had declined to sign the petition and this individual was present this evening. He stated he had not been concerned by this, however, because it was his understanding that only 25 percent of the benefited property owners needed to sign the petition. He did not believe the other remaining residents were opposed to the petition, rather he had simply not been able to contact them. Mr. Rehbein noted the southern portion of 580 Marshan Lane is shown on the assessment roll with an area of 1.66 acres. He indicated if water and sewer is extended to Marshan Lane as requested, he COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 intends to split that property into four lots. He stated he wished to be fair and he felt this intent would have a significant effect on the proposed assessments on the other property owners. He assumed that the sanitary area and water main area assessment charges would remain as proposed for his property but that the City would be able to charge him for four unit and lateral charges, which he believed would reduce the total cost for the other property owners. City Engineer Studenski concurred. He provided the City Council with a copy of an alternate assessment roll showing how spreading the unit and lateral charges over 13 lots, assuming the subdivision of the southern portion of 580 Marshan Lane into four lots, would affect the assessments for the remaining property owners on Marshan Lane. He indicated the initial assessment roll, which assumed only 10 lots, was the worse case scenario. He advised the addition of three lots to this project would reduce the assessment rate for each of the other lots by approximately $1,700 to $1,900. He noted the sanitary sewer and water main area and unit charges would remain the same for all properties but the sanitary sewer and water main lateral charge Auld be reduced to reflect the additional lots. Mr. Rehbein stated he has spoken with Mr. Funkhouser, oneicipants in this petition, who has expressed an interest in perhaps splitting his lot into tw • pang to lots. He noted this would reduce the overall assessments for the other property ow s 1. Mr. Rehbein stated he is very much in favor of thi Mayor Bergeson asked if there were any other or dividable lots. Mr. Rehbein doubted that this was the case. Don Strantz, 575 Marshan Lane, stated r as : ter service available from the north of his property, however, he felt this project could he concerns of water entering his septic system. However, he indicated that he is re d .` is ` g on a fixed income. He requested confirmation that this project will likely go throw: - ` though only four of the 10 affected property owners signed the petition to move �' ct o + d. Mayor Bergeson stated if the si remaining property owners submitted a petition opposing the project, then the project would not move Forward. Mr. Strantz expressed concern for having to spend $20,000 for sanitary sewer and water to be run to his property. He stated that he opposed any changes at this time and did not support this proposed project. He expressed concern that two assessment rolls had been presented this evening and he was not certain which was the real proposal. Community Development Director Grochala noted the property located at the end of Marshan Lane had not been included in the feasibility report, however, if that property was added to the project it would be assessed as well. Mr. Strantz questioned, if the property at the end of the street was split into additional lots in the future, how would those properties be charged for this improvement. COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 Community Development Director Grochala indicated this property was shown on the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Plan as a commercial property and he did not anticipate a lot split request for that property. Mike Christensen, 565 Marshan Lane, stated he was opposed to this project. He acknowledged that the project cost could be spread over more than 10 lots, however, he indicated that those additional lots were likely worth approximately $150,000. Therefore, he felt that those property owners would easily be able to pay for the proposed assessments and still profit, while other residents would be in debt because of the project. He noted he currently gets water in his septic tank and had been informed that his septic system is too high due to the saturation zone. He indicated he must replace his septic system within the next two years, therefore, he was in a lose -lose situation. Joanne Haubrick, 590 Marshan Lane, stated she had not been a she opposed this project. She indicated she is a single parent livi not afford these improvements. She expressed concern that she order for water and sewer to be run down the street. ached with the second petition and a low income and she could ve to give up her home in Mayor Bergeson requested clarification from City staff continue or to close the public hearing. City Engineer Studenski recommended that the p day comment period to run its course. He indi owners subsequent to this evening's meeting point forward. Mayor Bergeson noted, if the public those comments should be forward Council. eir recommendation was to g be closed this evening and for the 60 - ow -up letter would be sent to the property rming them of the process to be followed from this osed, and the residents have additional comments, who would ensure they are submitted to the City Councilmember Reinert mov c e th- public hearing for the Marshan Lane Utility Improvements at 7:27 p.m. Ma or Bergeson seconded the motion. Councilmember Carlson stated she did not make the motion or second the motion because she was not hearing much support for this project. She noted it would only take four residents to put a stop to this process and the City Council has heard from three residents this evening who are opposed to the project. She felt it likely that there is at least one other resident opposed as well. She was also concerned about the cost of this project to the residents, but noted they are protected by the requirement that an assessment not be greater than the market value increase the project would have on the property. Councilmember Carlson noted during the last City Council work session an individual had asked for Council support of a proposal to run sewer and water under a road to his property. She indicated the original cost of that project had been $95,000 but was reduced to $40,000. She stated this individual COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 had been asking that the cost of the project be reduced further. She questioned whether some of the cost of that project would come from the Surface Water Management Fund. Community Development Director Grochala stated this was not the case. Councilmember Carlson stated she would like to see a copy of the City's policy regarding the Surface Water Management Fund when reviewing the Five -Year Financial Plan. Councilmember Carlson noted two of the residents in attendance this evening had expressed concerns regarding water entering into their septic systems and questioned why this was occurring. City Engineer Studenski stated research was ongoing regarding this issue. Councilmember Carlson asked that when the follow-up information is sent to the residents, their options at this point be spelled out very clearly. Mr. Rehbein noted closing the public hearing would not close th doo a residents who wish to voice their opinions or to oppose the project. Mayor Bergeson asked Councilmember Carlson, if the io ose the public hearing failed, would she intend to make a motion to continue the pu w ' ,acing. Councilmember Carlson stated she would vote in favor of closing the public hearing . 'nce s will allow an opportunity for the residents to express their opinions and move fo d t decision. Councilmember Reinert felt it was important=ontinue the process at this point and noted the residents will decide whether this project Councilmember Carlson stated resid estions are welcome to contact City staff or the Councilmembers directly. Councilmember Dahl aske project, would there be an op problems with their septic syst received with at least four signatures opposing this y sewer down the street to help the residents having City Engineer Studenski stated the project presented by City staff was what had been requested by the residents. He noted City staff has discussed the notion that the length or the magnitude of the project could change. He stated this could be worked out within the next 60 days if this was what the residents wanted. He noted, although the overall cost of the project would decrease, the cost to extend sanitary sewer only would increase the cost of that portion of the project. Community Development Director Grochala noted the extension of utilities down Marshan Lane had been driven by a proposed subdivision, which would require both water and sanitary sewer. Mr. Rehbein stated he would like better information to be submitted to the residents regarding what their assessments would be if his lot was split. He questioned what four residents were opposed to COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 this project who would put a stop to the project. He felt if he was willing to pay an assessment for four lots, he should have four votes. Community Development Director Grochala indicated the petition can relate only to the number of properties currently in existence, therefore, Mr. Rehbein would have only one vote regardless of whether his property is larger than the others. Mayor Bergeson indicated any of the 10 residents can present the City with another petition during the 60 -day comment period, for or against this project. Councilmember Carlson stated it is always good to have as many signatures as possible on a petition. She added that the City Charter states benefited property owners can vote only once regardless of the number of properties they own. She indicated there was still the issue of the market value increase and questioned what would occur if it is found that the cost of roject can not be justified by the market value increase. It was City Attorney Hawkins' opinion that if the market va :1 did not justify the project, then another funding source would have to be determined o e phi j ect would not go through. Community Development Director Grochala reiterate property owners explaining the process and encour to discuss their specific issues amongst each othe letter will be sent to all the affected to hold another neighborhood meeting Ms. Haubrick noted there was the potential fwd total of 17 lots on this street and asked if this issue could be clarified during the neighborhooalong with the potential cost of the project depending upon the number of lots invo Community Development Director need to discuss how to address futur affected with the City Atto a r • nded affirmatively. He indicated City staff will tial ots on this street and how the assessments may be Councilmember Carlson noted a zoning of the property located on the corner of Marshan Lane was changed on the Comprehensive an to a commercial designation at the request of the property owners. She did not believe that request would have been made if there was an intent to split the property. Mr. Rehbein stated his mother owns that property and she does not intend to request a lot split. Motion carried unanimously.

The current 5,600 square -foot building was approved in 1996 10 COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 with plans which indicated an area for future expansion. The company would now like to expand into the area indicated in the 1996 plans, and has submitted an application for a site plan review.

Communit "x 1 evelopment Director Grochala stated that there were not and indicated in this zoning district, velopments are allowed up to 90 percent of impervious coverage and this site does not approach that limit. Councilmember Carlson questioned why the recommendations of the Rice Creek Watershed District, as listed in the staff report, were not included in staff's list of conditions. Community Development Director Grochala stated the Rice Creek Watershed District must issue its permits prior to the City submitting building permits. Therefore, he indicated the applicant must comply with the requirements of the Watershed District whether or not those requirements were included as part of staff's conditions. Councilmember Carlson questioned whether the City's approval of this request would influence Rice Creek Watershed District's actions on the TWAFAA. Community Development Director Grochala stated this was not the case. 11 COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 Councilmember Dahl moved to adopt Resolution No. 02-70, Approving Site and Building Plans, Emergency Apparatus, with conditions as listed in the staff report. Councilmember Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 02-70 can be found in the City Clerk's office. Consideration of Resolution No. 02-72, Authorizing Preparation of a Surface Water Management Plan, Mike Grochala — Community Development Director Grochala advised the City of Lino Lakes is required to prepare a Surface Water Management Plan that must, at a minimum, meet the requirements for local plans in Minnesota Statutes, Section 103B.235 and be in conformance with Watershed District, Management Organizations and Metr. itan Council plans. The City's "first generation" plan was adopted in 1994. Since this time boce Creek Watershed District and the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization ha management plans.

Councilmember Reinert questione . , e cost of the proposed plan update, how long will the new Surface Water Management «': va ®ce updated. Community Development Director Grochala anticipated that the updated p 4 o i be valid for a number of years, although he had no solid answer to this inquiry. He indi ted the second generation of such a plan is usually the plan's final stage and he anticipated minor u ates to the plan in the future as other local water management plans are updated. Councilmember Carlson noted this plan is a requirement as part of the Metropolitan Council's review of the City's Comprehensive Plan. She questioned whether there were other plans the Metropolitan Council was waiting for to complete their review of the Comprehensive Plan. Community Development Director Grochala stated this was not the case. Councilmember Carlson asked what triggers an update to the Surface Water Management Plan. Community Development Director Grochala indicated, after any update of the local water management plans, the City has up to two years to update their Surface Water Management Plan to be in compliance with those updates. 12 COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 Councilmember Dahl noted the City's Surface Water Management Plan must be updated to be in conformance with the Rice Creek Watershed District's water management plan. She asked if TKDA will be working with the Watershed District in these efforts. Community Development Director Grochala responded affirmatively. He noted the Rice Creek Watershed District is a reviewing authority, as well as the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization. Councilmember Dahl noted the City had granted the Metropolitan Council a 60 -day extension to their review of the Comprehensive Plan. She questioned whether the approval of the City's Comprehensive Plan was being held up for receipt of this plan update. Community Development Director Grochala stated the update to this plan was not the cause of Metropolitan Council's review delay. He anticipated that the update of this plan would be a conditional approval of the City's Comprehensive Plan, if necessary. Councilmember Dahl requested confirmation that moving forty; with this plan update at this time would show the Metropolitan Council that the City is following �r with this process. Community Development Director Grochala stated this was co Councilmember Carlson moved to adopt Resolution No. 02 A thorizing Preparation of a Surface Water Management Plan.

As part of the project an alternative analysis, studying alignment alternatives along Main Street connecting with TH 61 was prepared. Four potential alignments through the City of Hugo were reviewed as part of the process, including 140th Street, 142nd Street, 145th Street (the existing alignment), and 147th Street. Community Development Director Grochala indicated at this point Washington County is in the process of preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. This process will involve studying the environmental impacts of the proposed project, including the alignment alternatives. However, Washington County is recommending that the 140th Street Alignment Alternative be eliminated from further study because of environmental impacts, right-of-way and construction costs, and travel patterns._ 13 COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 8, 2002 Community Development Director Grochala indicated the City of Hugo has passed a resolution on July 1, 2002 concurring with Washington County's recommendation. Community Development Director Grochala advised City staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 02-73, Concurring with Washington County Regarding Proposed CSAH 8/14 Reconstruction Alignments. Councilmember Reinert requested confirmation that the proposed resolution only addressed the alternative alignments and not what type of road CSAH 8/14 will become. Community Development Director Grochala stated this was correct. He noted there is a proposal for CSAH 8/14 to become a four -lane divided roadway between TH 61 and I -35E. Councilmember Reinert questioned whether the proposed action would also agree with the roadway being widened to four lane within the City of Lino Lakes up to E. Community Development Director Grochala indicated the proposed resolution referenced w - t that Washington County has received Federal funding to reconstruct CSAH 8/14 between I-3 o Lakes and Trunk Highway 61 in Hugo as a four -lane highway and has prepared an alte ,@°• ysis studying alignment alternatives along Main Street in Lino Lakes and Frenchm. oar°'n Hugo.
