LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 7, 1986 PAGE b <br />lagoon that receives all of their raw waste water. There is no stream <br />or river that goes through Wyoming that this treated sewage can be <br />discharged to, so they have a system where the effluent is pumped <br />through a spray irrigation system and it irrigates City land. This <br />was the type of system that was considered for Lake Elmo. A study was <br />done in the 1970's and the cost was estimated over $5 million dollars. <br />It was technically feasible, but it would not have been funded by the <br />grant that the City got, because it was not the lowest cost <br />alternative. <br />John Schiltz asked why is cost always a factor when the health and <br />welfare of the people are concerned. Morgan did not feel this was a <br />valid comparison and was not aware of anyone's health being <br />Jeopardized in any way in the City of Lake Elmo. <br />Morgan added that the Council trys to make their decision based on <br />what the majority of people want and can afford in Lake Elmo. The <br />cost to bring in sewer across undeveloped land would mean extreme <br />costs and cause economic hardship to people of the community. The 201 <br />Project is helping over 100 families, and he feels they have tried to <br />avoid condemnation of land every way that they could. Morgan regrets <br />that, from a technical point of view, that Mr. Gorman's land was <br />chosen and wished there was a way the City could work with him so he <br />would not be hurt in any way. <br />Mr. Gorman asked why wasn't he included in the process years ago? <br />Bohrer answered that one of the reasons Mr. Gorman was not approached <br />is that the plans had to be approved by the MPCA. Until that time, <br />Bohrer did not know if they were going to approve a site or not. <br />Because the MPCA scrutinized the sites extensively, the approval did <br />not come until January or April of 1986. Gorman stated that his <br />lending institution will call his loan if this goes through, because <br />their interest is at stake and their interest is his land. This is <br />the consequence he feels the City is accepting. <br />5. Interview Planning Commission Applicants <br />There are two vacancies on the Planning Commission for First and <br />Second Alternate members. The following two people have applied for <br />the vacancies: <br />1. Lee Gordon Hunt, 8810 55th Street North (applied 8-23-86) <br />2. David D. Johnson, 11291 30th Street North (applied 9-10-86) <br />When interviewed, Mr. Hunt stated that one of the reasons he moved to <br />Lake Elmo a year ago was because of the nature of the way the <br />community was evolving-- which was a residential area with high <br />standards and with a small town atmosphere. Mr. Hunt would be willing <br />to spend the necessary time needed, as his schedule is flexible. <br />Mr. David Johnson expressed that he liked Lake Elmo the way it is; <br />primarily residential, with keeping some agricultural and with really <br />no major development, but with some commercial aspects to support the <br />residential. <br />M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - to appoint to the Lake Elmo Planning Commission <br />Lee Gordon Hunt as First Alternate member and David D. Johnson as <br />Second Alternate member. (Motion carried 5-0). <br />
