LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 4-16-85 PAGE 7 M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara - To instruct the Engineer to begin the work necessary to apply for this variance. (Motion carried 5-0) The Engineer also reported on the status of the request to add 36th Street and Layton Avenue to the MSA system. This request was denied by the District's State Aid Engineer due to the fact that there would be three State Aid roads parallel and adjacent to one another. This would be CSAH 17, Laverne Avenue, which is already a Municipal State Aid street, and Layton Avenue. The Engineer then recommended that the City's second choice, which is Kimbro Avenue and 43rd Street be designated as MSA as soon as available mileage accumulates to the 0.87 miles required. In the case that the variance request for Lower 33rd Street is turned down, it was recommended that MSA designation be removed from Lower 33rd Street and used elsewhere in the City. D. Other 1. Landfill and Water Meeting The Engineer reported that each Council Member should have received a notice of the joint meeting between the Ramsey and Washington County Boards and the City of Lake Elmo to be held April 22 at 1:30 p.m. in the Washington County Human Services building to discuss the water supply alternatives. The Administrator and the Engineer will be attending on behalf of the City and it was suggested that as many Council Members as possible be present to show support for these vital issues. The Engineer asked the City Council in the draft letter that was mailed out individually to the Council Members outlining the six points in which the City and the Counties still do not agree, if there were any that the Council feels more strongly about than others. The consensus of the Council was that each of the six points should be insisted upon and not negotiable. 2. Letter from Harvey and Viola Brown The Council acknowledged a letter from Harvey and Viola Brown, 4346 Jackpine Trail N. which states "In view of the emergency high water situation that exists in this area, we are requesting you to petition the VBWD for immediate increased pumping of Lake Jane and temporary sandbagging (or water flow control) from the weir on Lake Olson". 3. Request from Section 32 Property Owners The Administrator reported that the Section 32 property owners are going to be meeting to discuss the possibility of sewer extensions into their area and they request the presence of the Administrator and the Engineer. The City Council granted the property owners request and the Mayor will attempt to attend that meeting also on behalf of the City Council. 8. City Council Reports A.
