LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1993 3 Isle Avenue Cul-de-Sac Options In his letter dated October 15,1993, Larry Bohrer recommended a solid cul-de-sac with a 50' radius of blacktop and 60' radius easement for Isle Avenue. If the road is extended south in the future, the center portion of the cul-de-sac may be usable, whereas an island type must be completely reconstructed. Also, there is no homeowners association to maintain the landscaping within the island. M/S/C Johnson/Conlin - to direct the city engineer when the time comes to construct a solid cul-de-sac with a 50' radius of blacktop and 60' radius easement for Isle Avenue. (Motion carried 5-0:Mottaz added that he hoped the city will remember there is not such a thing as a homeowners association to maintain an island cul-de-sac; therefore, the maintenance will be dumped back onto the city). (B) Resolution 93-72: Joint Powers Agreement for utilities in Section 32 and 33 At the October 12, 1993 workshop, the Council directed the staff to prepare a resolution outlining the conditions by which the city will proceed with a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Oakdale for the installation of utilities in Sections 32 and 33. Attorney Filla provided a proposed revised copy of the Joint Powers Agreement and a sample of a resolution relating to a joint request to the Municipal Board to consider an annexation and detachment along any lines approved by two city councils. Councilman Johnson asked if the city attorney could defend the assessment that would occur to the 440 acres for this project? Filla responded it is defensible if we are talking about an assessment in the range of $4,000-$5,000 per acre for sanitary sewer, 120- 160 acres that have an immediate benefit from this kind of project. Filla explained the council should have a proposal that has 3 or 4 identified areas where the council can come up with some agreement with Oakdale and what the impact will be on the city depending upon how those issues are resolved. He suggested tabling for two weeks in order to give the city council detailed outline of this project, what it is going to cost Lake Elmo, what it may cost Oakdale, why this is a good deal for the two communities in terms of cost savings compared to the alternative which is independent projects. M/S/C John/Johnson- to discuss this at the November 2 meeting a more detailed cost estimate of the proposed project with conditions and recommendations listed and given to the council for study a week before this meeting. (Motion carried 5-0).
