LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 20, 1986 PAGE 5 should be improved as Public Improvement projects. M/S/P - Mazzara/Armstrong - to adopt Resolution 86-34 instructing City Engineer Bohrer to prepare the necessary feasibility reports for improving Layton Avenue from Highway 5 to 36th Street, 36th Street from Laverne Avenue to Layton Avenue, and 33rd Street Lane. (Motion carried 5-0). D. 201 Program - Easement Appraisals City Engineer Bohrer explained that the portion of the 201 Program which deals with the off -site and cluster type septic systems requires land acquisitions and easements. The first step is to have this land value appraised. William Schwab of Penfield, Inc. is performing these appraisals. Bill Schwab reported to the Council that they have started the appraisal process, but it has taken longer than what was anticipated because of the federal regulations that they are operating under. They have to comply to the Uniform Acquisition Act since they are using federal monies, and they put certain stipulations on the process. There are seven pieces of property that they are actually taking fee title to. Schwab brought to the attention of the Council a portion of Outlot A of Lake Elmo View is needed for a drainfield. Based on the engineer's soils investigation, this is the only portion of the entire 5-acre parcel that is suitable for an on -site system. This parcel is also adjacent to Reid Park. It would not make a big difference in just compensation to purchase the whole parcel. The balance of Outlot A is not buildable, and the landowner could object to the City's offer if the entire tract was not purchased. M/S/P Christ/Morgan - to recommend the acquisition of the entire tract of Outlot A, Block 1, of Lake Elmo View for remote site B on the 201 Program. (Motion carried 5-0). M/S/P Christ/Morgan - to form a committee comprised of City Engineer Bohrer, City Administrator Overby and Bill Schwab to review the appraisals, determine that they are done properly and certifying that the appraisals are fair and just compensation. (Motion carried 5-0). E. VBWD Project 1007 - Shoreland Permit and Construction Plan Approval City Engineer Bohrer reported that the plans for Project 1007 are complete. Since a substantial amount of the work is taking place in city rights -of -way and in shoreland districts, it is appropriate for the City to review these plans to grant a shoreland permit and approve the construction plans. M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara - to approve the shoreland permit to authorize work on Project 1007 to commence in shoreland areas of Lake Elmo. (Motion carried 5-0).
