RESIDENTS REOUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR: There were no resident requests or comments. PUBLIC HEARINGS• Mayor Linke called to order the public hearing for the Proposed Blaine Interceptor, Metropolitan Waste Control Commission Project at 7:05 p.m. Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engineer introduced Kyle Colvin of the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission who began the presentation of the Proposed Blaine Interceptor. Mr. Colvin stated that after the presentation anyone having questions should state their name and their relationship to the project for inclusion into the report on this subject. Mr. Colvin explained that the service area for the Blaine Interceptor contains slightly more than 6200 acres of land in the central and south- central portions of Blaine, including the 1900 acre Anoka County Airport. olvin stated that the service area also includes slightly less than 100 ~icres of land in the City of Mounds View. Mr. Colvin stated that population, households and employment projections were prepared for the service life of the interceptor sewer (50 years) by the MWCC's planning consultant HNTB. Mr. Colvin introduced Ross Harris, HNTB, to further explain the project. Ross Harris, HNTB, reported that this interceptor would involve only 13 square miles of service area. Twenty percent of the area is encompassed by Anoka County Blaine Airport. Harris explained that there is scattered residential and commercial properties surrounding the airport. In Mounds View the parcels include a 26 acre commercial parcel and the proposed golf course site. Harris reported that forecasts were prepared for two scenarios - the first being unconstrained development, i.e., development at the current rate of regulation and the second-being contained development, i.e., development at a slower rate due to the anticipated proliferation of government regulations, especially relative to construction in and around wetlands. The forecasts included both the service area above as well as the area in Mounds View tributary to Meter Station M-20, since early in the planning stage consideration was given to using the 18-inch trunk sewer in Quincy Street on an interim basis to handle the service area flows. Subsequent investigations found this arrangement to be unfeasible, therefore only the lands first described will form the service area for the Blaine Interceptor. r~ U
