-4- Mr. Fornell related the history of circumstances under which the potential for flooding of Anthony Lane North- was created when the M-M Corporation-, with the permission of the Rice Creek Watershed District, drained the pond on the property they were developing adjacent to St. Anthony' s boundaries with Roseville. He said concerns raised by Central Engineering prompted the City to retain Short-Elliott- Hendrickson, Inc. to develop a feasibility study of the problems which was then given to both the Roseville and St. Anthony officials . Public hearings on the storm sewer project to correct the drainage problems as well as consideration of the rebuilding Anthony Lane to MSA standards to connect with a Roseville street of the same standards at the same time the roadway is torn up for the storm sewer and the looping of the water lines between Roseville and St.. Anthony were called in St. Anthony and Roseville, with the latter's hearing held January 26th. Roger Short and Dick Moore of the engineering firm indicated, in a slide presentation for about ten property owners along Anthony Lane , the improvements they are recommending for that area and estimated costs of those improvements without consideration of City incurred costs. The Manager,. in his February 10th memorandum,, had estimated the total assessments to properties abutting Anthony :Lane. He told those present the cost of 9 ton roadway of lesser design than that built to MSA standards would be $65 ,719 or $40 .32 per linear foot. If the roadway is built to MSA standards without -Roseville participation, he estimated the cost would be $88 ,814 , or $54 .49 a linear foot, for benefited properties. Without M-M participation , the storm sewer project costs will be $57 ,391, or $5,251 per acre. However, Mr. For- nell reported M-M seems to be willing topay from $11,0.00 to $12 ,000 • of the costs if the City allows them to continue their connection with the St. Anthony sanitary sewer line. The water line improvement recommended by the Public Works. Director will not be assessed but will cost $6 , 244. The recommendations hie had made in his January 7th and February 6th memorandums were reiterated by Mr. Fornell. Those present who spoke included Loren E . Swanson and Al Goetsch of Central Engineering Co. , 2930. Anthony Lane; Jim D. Savaas of the RgE of America Co. , . 2912 Anthony Lane; C. G. Hill of C. G. Hill & Sons , 2917 Anthony Lane and John Minar. Mr. Savaas said his firm is a French-American- subsidiary of the Honey- well Company who lease their present location and plan to retain the plant for research and development and to move their manufacturing of small computers operation. to the M-M building which they have also leased. A connected roadway with his Roseville plant would be a benefit to him and he saw the storm sewer and water line connection as provid- ing more safety for his two operations, in addition to better access to his buildings for emergency vehicles on an upgraded connected roadway. He believed the City "would be ahead building the stronger road surface because it would last longer and therefore give them more for their money" . Mr. Moore told Councilman Ranallo, Roseville had, at their January 26th hearing., approved participation in the storm sewer but had not taken action on either the looping of the water line or building the roadway to connect with' Anthony Lane. He said the only property owners present at the hearing were those who opposed these improvements. One of these , the owner of- the large peculiar shaped parcel to the east of the roadway, plans to use his property for
