LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 2, 1986 PAGE 8 <br />were near 120. This data told him if you wanted to build a home <br />on this property today, you could not get a permit to construct an <br />in -the -ground drainfield on that property. Bohrer added that on a <br />new installation for a new house, you are only allowed to <br />construct a trench type drainfield system. If you are <br />reconstructing or replacing a septic system, you are allowed under <br />City code to go to alternative systems. <br />M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong - to proceed with the condemnation process to <br />acquire the recommended sites, with the exception of Parcel #5 <br />owned by Joseph Rogers in order to allow the City Engineer to <br />further investigate this site. (Motion carried 4-1<Mazzara: He is <br />not in favor of condemnation and would like to see some other <br />agreement worked out between the property owners and the City>). <br />D. Future Street Thoroughfare Plan <br />City Engineer Bohrer addressed a letter received from the MnDOT <br />District 9 Right-of-way Engineer. The letter advises the City <br />that MnDOT will begin offering for sale the old I-94 Northern <br />Route right-of-way between County Road--r and CSAH 15. The letter <br />also advises that some or all of this right-of-way can be given to <br />the City for roadway purposes at no cost. (Amended 9-16-86 County Road 13) <br />Bohrer believes this offer warrants further consideration. If the <br />City feels that at any time there might be a need for a street in <br />that area., it might be wise to acquire the right-of-way from the <br />Highway Dept. at no cost at this time. Bohrer feels that the City <br />should have a thoroughfare plan, so that as plats come in, we can <br />show developers that the street is planned for as a through <br />street. <br />Councilman Armstrong stated she felt this would be a mistake <br />because part of the problem with the northern route was the <br />number of wetlands and it is time to get it off the map. <br />M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara - to direct the City Engineer to inquire if <br />MnDOT would transfer 125 feet of the right-of-way to the CIty for <br />street purposes. (Motion carried 4-1<Armstrong>). <br />9. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS <br />A.
