Hugo City Council Minutes for April 6, 2009 Page 7 of 13 Petryk made motion, Klein seconded, to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2009 -11 ADOPTING ASSESSMENTS FOR THE FONDANT AVENUE, FOXHILL AVENUE, FRANCESCA AVENUE, FREELAND AVENUE, GENEVA AVENUE, LOWER 147TH STREET NORTH, 148TH STREET NORTH, AND 150TH STREET NORTH IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. Ayes: Weidt, Haas, Klein, Petryk, Miron Nays: None Motion carried. Public Hearing on Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easements for Carpenter's on the Lake Restaurant Redevelopment Plan Mike Anderson from Carpenters is requesting the vacation of all drainage and utility easements over all of Lot 10, Lot 11, Lot 12, Lot 13, and Lot 14 of County Auditors Plat Number 7. The lots are owned by the applicant and the City. The vacation of the existing easements is necessary because existing sewer and water lines are being relocated. New easements will be dedicated over the proposed new sewer and water lines, and stormwater ponds. The proposed redevelopment site plan will include an approximately 8,000 square foot restaurant building and parking lot on City property. Associate Planner Rachel Simone noted on the plan where the existing and proposed easements are located, and explained that the proposed development will manage all storm water on site through ponding, and new drainage and utility easements will be created over the stormwater ponds as well as the sewer and waterlines. Haas made motion, Klein second, to approve the Notice of Completion of Vacation Proceedings for the vacation of the drainage and utility easements over properties located on the future Carpenter's on the Lake Restaurant property and City owned property to the north. All Ayes. Motion carried. Report on Met Council Water Supply Advisory Board and Water Appropriation Permit At its March 16, 2009 meeting, Councilmember Chuck Haas addressed the Hugo City Council regarding issues related to the Met Council Water Supply Advisory Committee on which he serves. Chuck and City Engineer Jay Kennedy have been working with the Advisory Committee and the DNR regarding issues related to the City of Hugo's application for a water appropriations permit to construct a new well in the south central section of the City, and they provided the City Council with an update on the progress. The Water Supply Plan was intended to streamline the permit process; however many DNR requirements are vague and go above and beyond what is required by the Water Supply Advisory Board. A draft of the plan was approved for a six-month period and cities will report back in six months on the status of their appropriation permits; meanwhile, the DNR will be reviewing their requirements. The Met Council is very supportive of the cities' position and follow-up meetings are expected. Councilmember Haas and City Engineer Jay Kennedy will keep the Council apprised of this issue. No formal action was taken.
