63 May 18, 1987 9.A Request for Speed Zone Study (Irish Avenue) Mr. LeRoy Lundstrom has requested city consideration to reduce the speed limit on Irish Avenue from 122nd Street North to 130th Street North, then 130th Street North east to County Road 8A. In the past, requests of this nature have been referred to MNDOT formally requesting a speed zone study. Motion made by Atkinson, Peltier seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 1987-35, A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION CAUSE SPEED ZONE STUDY ON IRISH AVENUE AND 130TH STREET WITHIN THE CITY OF HUGO. All aye. Motion Carried. Miscellaneous Motion made by Potts, Peltier seconded, to approve Project #HURCACK for NSP. All aye. Motion Carried. City Engineer, Howard Kuusisto, submitted a report for the sanitary sewer improvement for the John Kostuch property located on 140th Street North west of the railroad tracks running parallel with U.S. Highway 61. City Engineer Kuusisto reviewed his report to the City Council noting that the total cost of the utility extension, as requested would be approximately $87,893.00. The City Administrator noted that this report from the City Engineer was generated as a result of a request by Mr. Tom Bernier to extend sanitary sewer on 140th Street from its existing location to a point approximately 520' to the west. The property to be served by this proposed sanitary sewer extension on 140th Street is identified as the south 323' of the west 130' of Section 20, T31N, R21W, Washington County, Minnesota, being part of Lot 35 Auditor's Plat #7. Mr. Bernier is in the process of building a home on the northeast corner of Fenway Avenue and 140th Street, and is desirous of hooking up to the city sanitary sewer as opposed to installing a septic system and drainfield. In conjunction with Mr. Bernier's request, Mr. John Kostuch has also indicated he would like sanitary sewer extended approximately 700' to the north of 140th Street to serve property in the Kostuch industrial area lying west of the Northern Pacific Railroad right-of-way. Messrs. Kostuch and Bernier have indicated they will pay the full cost of the utility installation designed in a manner acceptable to the city engineer and Metro Waste Control Commission recognizing that once the utilities are installed they will become the property of the city system. The City Administrator notei that Mr. Kostuch is considering a proposed subdivision of property located east of Fenway Avenue between 142nd Street and 140th Street North. Mr. Kostuch's prop sal f obland subdivision has not been applied for, and in no way does the city's appy val of u ilities installation imply that his subdivision development would be appy ved in the future. Councilmember Peltier indicated she was concerned regarding the xtent of this request being brought before the City Council at the last minute with ut ample time to review this matter. Mayor Atkinson inquired as to whether or not 't would be more appropriate to process this request in conjunction with the formal subd vision of the property in question. It was noted that the extension of the util ties could, in fact, stand on their own without the subdivsion of Mr. Kostuch's prop rty, and that the major financial risk is to Mr. Kostuch as he will be responsible for aying the cost of this utility improvement. The city staff indicated they had no o jections to approval of this utility extension subject to the following: 1. Jr. Kostuch provide the city with a 60' wide utility easement to extend the sani- ary sewer from 140th Street North in a northerly direction on the proposed street ast of Fenway Avenue.
