Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for March 5,2018 <br /> Page 7 of 10 <br /> Klein made motion, Miron seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2018-3 ORDERING <br /> IMPROVEMENT AND ORDERING THE PREPARATION OF PLANS AND <br /> SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED ONEKA LAKE BOULEVARD AND HARROW <br /> AVENUE STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. <br /> Klein said that there would be additional discussions with residents to ensure the project is <br /> satisfactory, and the extension of utilities would not move forward unless it is approved by the <br /> property owners. <br /> Petryk stated she was in favor of voting for the resolution, and it was important for property <br /> owners to realize it could be more expensive in the future. It needed to be done as economically <br /> as possible. <br /> Weidt said he understood concerns of the property owners who do not drive down the road, but <br /> they use other roads in the community. It needs to be looked at as part of the network. <br /> Improvements add to the value of the neighborhoods and communities. It's not always perfect <br /> but the policy has served the City well. <br /> Ayes: Klein, Petryk, Miron, Haas, Weidt <br /> Nays: None <br /> Motion carried. <br /> Weidt called for a short recess. And resumed the meeting at 8:46 <br /> Update on White Bear Lake Litigation and Ramsey County District Court Order <br /> Bear provided a short background and explained the most recent permit conditions that had been <br /> applied to the City's appropriations permits by the DNR. Impacted permits are the City's own <br /> water supply system, Hanifl Fields Athletic Park, Twin Pines Mobile Home Park, and the Oneka <br /> Ridge Golf Couse. There is a 30-day appeal window on these permit conditions, and all permits <br /> within five miles of the lake are subject to this. Conditions added to all permits were to create a <br /> plan to phase down per-capita water use, report on collaborative efforts, and implement a <br /> residential irrigation ban. A condition that applied only to the City's water supply permit was <br /> submittal of a plan to convert to surface water, which could be considered done since Hugo has <br /> already converted to partial stormwater. <br /> A plan to phase down per-capita water use was due by August 29, 2018. Bear pointed out that it <br /> would be difficult to measure per-capita use at the Hanifl Fields and the golf course and he <br /> questioned what this really meant. It was his opinion that the per-capita day water limits would <br /> not be a conservation measurement, but a behavior tracking tool with a formula that encourages <br /> more residents and high density apartments. The City was below the thresholds, but one non- <br /> residential use could put the City out of compliance with the formulas. Bear felt the City's <br /> conservation methods are more effective. He talked about the requirement to collaborate with <br /> others and the difficulty in sharing with cities such as Centerville, who would be impacted by the <br /> lawsuit if they shared water with Hugo. Bear presented some options for the Council to <br />
