LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL, JULY 7,1981 -7- Mottaz moved, seconded by Morgan, to adopt RESOLUTION 81-49, ordering plans and specifications for the 1981 MSA project; and authorizing the City Engineer and City Administrator to take bids on the project. Motion carried 5-0. MSA STREET DESIGNATION, 39th STREET: Bohrer explained that he asked the Council to look at designatinganother one- half mile as an MSA Street; so that the City could qualify for additional MSA funds. The partners of the Brookfield Company had requested that 39th Street from Laverne to Co. Road 17 be so designated, as it will become a collector; and may relieve traffic at the intersection of Co. Road 17 and Highway 5. The Council felt it was more appropriate to continue the MSA designation on 50th Street, east of Co. Road 17; and instructed the Administrator to inquire if the County had designated Co. Road 15 as a future MSA Street, 50th Street can be designated only if it runs from a State Aid Street to another MSA Street, a County Road or a State Highway. Presently, it intersects with Co. Road 15 as planned; but, it does not meet the other criteria. Mottaz moved, seconded by Novak, to instruct the Administrator to write a letter to Brookfield Company advising them that another street is being considered for MSA designation. Motion carried 5-0. LEGION AVENUE SEWERS: Bohrer advised the Council that TKDA could study the Legion Avenue sewer problems, in the 201 area, first; so that the Council would have that information upon which to make a decision about the Council order to the residents on Legion to repair their systems by July 1,1981. The residents now claim they have had no problems since they filled their lots on Legion pond. The Council decided that, if the sewer systems are functioning now, they should be considered in the normal course of the 201 study. Morgan moved, seconded by Mottaz, to rescind the order requiring improvements to the sewers on Legion Avenue by July 1,1981. Motion carried 5-0. FRIEND EASEMENT: Bohrer reported that a discrepancy on the plat left the status of the slope easement unclear. He had suggested that the City vacate the entire 33 foot ease- ment and require Friend to dedicate (by deed) the 20 foot easement needed for future improvements to 45th Street near Jane Road North. This will accomplish the same thing as their original motion to vacate 13 feet of the existing easement. The Council agreed. RENAMING eAmended 7/21/81 Mottaz moved "'LITTLE SUNFISH LAKE": The Council agreed that the City should ask the DNR to rename "Little Sunfish" Lake, near Cimarron, Lake Rose, after Rose Friedrich. *-T'ra-serr moved, seconded by Eder, to adopt RESOLUTION 81-50, "A Resolu-
