LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 4, 1995. 3 7. A. Update on Oakdale's Section 32 Improvements which may affect Lake Elmo Larry Bohrer understands that the property owners immediately west of Inwood Avenue, Decoster and Schiltgen Estate, has a petition forthcoming that would cause this watermain on 4th Street between Guardian Angels Drive and Inwood Avenue to be constructed in 1995, not in 1996. Also, there may be a petition forthcoming from United Properties. The watermain to service Oakdale's needs would just have to be an 8" size.
