PLANNING/LAND USE & ZONING: A. Resolution No. 95-36 declaring adequacy of petition and ordering preparation of report for sanitary sewer and water within MUSA The City received a petition for Sanitary Sewer and Water Improvements for the SE 1/4 of Section from the Northland Land Company (parent company of United Properties). The Northland Land Company is willing to reimburse the City for its actual expenses incurred in connection with said updated feasibility report, provided the costs thereof do not exceed $5,000. M/S/P John/Johnston - to adopt Resolution No. 95-36 declaring the adequacy of petition from the Northland Land Company and ordering the preparation of report for a cost not to exceed $5,000. (Motion passed 5-0). 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Review of Transportation Portion of County's Comprehensive Plan Larry Bohrer reviewed the transportation segment of the draft Washington County Comprehensive Plan and specifically looked for impacts on the City. Bohrer commented on the System Deficiencies, Jurisdictional Changes, Realignments and New Alignments, Transit System Concept Plan, 1995-1999 Capital Improvements Program and Access Spacing Guidelines of the Plan. The Council made the following comments: (1) the proposed new connection from Inwood Avenue to Highway 5 would cause the displacement of a home, come close, if not through, the Animal Inn Cemetery and enter into the new Howard Michels subdivision. There would be a significant change in grade and this new connection would be very expensive, (2) the Plan doesn't take into consideration the full impact of the new St. Croix Bridge on Highway 5 and Manning Avenue to the South, (3) clarify the design standards for minor arterials in other jurisdictions, (4) there are inconsistencies in the transit portion of the plan in that the TH36 wide right-of-way will be preserved for future LRT, but then stops at the St. Croix River. No provisions seem to be made beyond that point. (5) request more detail on intent of 10th street right-of-way acquisition from Inwood to Manning. The city would be against an extension. (6) should Hudson Blvd. remain under state jurisdiction or transferred to local jurisdiction. At the May 2, 1995 meeting, the Council will discuss these comments, summarized by the City Engineer, to be passed on to the County.
