Bi11 Gibson who presented pictures to the council indicating storm drainage problems involving his property on lot lU, block 1, Dodd Park Addition, and asked the council to look into the storm drainage system in that part of the city and its performance and design. Mayor Zaun. directed Mr. Zuelke to look into the matter and prepare a report for the council as soon as possible. i~ir. Bill Jennings of 17470 Kodiak Avenue asked the council if they would consider .amending the city ordinance that requires connection to both the water and sanitary sewer system when connection is made to either .utility system. The council discussed the request and-the effect it would have on the operation of the city utility system if one could connect to one system and not the other. The consensus of the council was that the ordinance requirement was necessary to provide for the orderly and effective operation of the utility system. Consent agenda. Mr. Zuelke asked the council to remove item 4f from the consent agenda, as the material was not prepared and ready for consid- eration. ` f ~ i CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL rTEETING ' AUGUST 3, 1987 The council also advised the administrator that the property owners who were requesting the engineering feasibility study under Item 41 would need to deposit with the city the $2,500 estimated cost of the feasibil- ity study prior to the making of the study by the consultant.- Councilmember Sindt added Other Business items 15 a, b, d, e, f and g to the consent agenda and removed item 4f. 87.341 Motion was made by Enright, seconded by Harvey to approve the consent agenda as amended. (Council Agenda attached hereto is incorporated by reference and specifically made apart hereof.) Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Zaun, Enright, Sindt, Harvey, Nelson. At this time, Mayor "Zaun opened the public hearing on the 185th Street improvement project 87-14, and the city clerk attested to the legal notice. Mr. Zuelke presented slides showing the need for a 100 foot wide right-of-way from Highway 50 to I-35 and the two alternatives for the design of the project as it pertains to the street west of the railroad tracks to I-35. The city administrator advised those present that the normal assessment period fora project is 20 years, and the project would be constructed in 1988 and assessed in the fall of 1988 with the first payment due in 1989. The estimated rate of interest at this time would be nine to ten percent, however that is subject to change. At this time Mayor Zaun recognized Mr. Byron Watschke, the owner of parcels 2 and 3 in the project area. Mr. Watschke explained that he was in favor of the project and proposed that the alternate No. 2 using the rural design for the road west of the railroad tracks be the one implemented by the Council at this time. Mr. Watchke's engineer also questioned the city engineer on the future location of sanitary sewer in the project area. Mr. Watschke also asked why the increase in cost in the feasibility report over the 1984 estimates. The city administrator explained that the council had implemented a trail policy since 1984, and those costs were included in the project, along with the policy that the cost for right-of-way which the city pays for in a project is also assessed in addition to the construction costs. 2 • • i CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING .AUGUST 3, 1987 Mr. Watschke stated that tie favored Option 2 again, and that he would dedicate his portion of the necessary street right-of-way if all the other property owners involved in the project would do the same. The owner of Parcel 2 also stated that he would dedicate the right-of-way if the others did the same, and that he favored Option 2 and wished the council to order the project at this time. At this time, Councilman Harvey raised the question about the. economy of doing a phased construction of the road west of the railroad tracks and suggested that the Option 1 for the full urban design would be the most efficient way to construct the project. The administrator pointed out tc?at the difference in cost to the property owners between the rural and urban design is a total of $38,000 according to the engineer's estimate. After further discussion, the owner of Parcel 5 indicated that he favored the urban design for the entire project. 87.342 Yiotion was made by Harvey, seconded by Nelson to close the public hearing.

Time: 8:45 p.m. 87.343 Y~Totion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to adopt Resolution No. 87-95 ordering improvement project 87-14 using Option 1 with the bidding specification to allow for an alternative price for a rural, versus urban, road construction for the portion of 185th Street west of the railroad tracks to I-35. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun, Enright. At this time, Mayor Zaun opened the public hearing on improvement project 87-17, and the city clerk attested to the legal notice. Tir. Zuelke advised the council that the developer who was interested in developing the property for the which the improvement project would need to be constructed had let his option expire on the property and was no longer interested in the proposed development. There was no one else present wishing to speak on the matter. 87.344 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to continue the public hearing to the September 8, 1987, council meeting to allow the engineer time to find out if there was any interest in the project from the property owners or others. .Roll call was taken on the motion.

Scott Johnson addressed the City Council on his request for final plat approval for the Lynwood North addition. Mr. Johnson indicated that he now wished to construct street access to the plat to the east to connect to Ipava Avenue rather than to the north to connect to 165th Street because he had purchased the property to the east of the Lynwood North addition over to Ipava.

Mr. Peterson also raised the issue of an exception in the southwest corner of the plat where the existing Barrett farm home is located. The staff pointed out that the city planner had presented alternatives for the platting of this exception area and the need to resolve the road access to it for the future. Councilman Harvey indicated that it was important that the matter be resolved at this time, and Mr. Peterson indicated that the company did have an alternative whereby the exception area could be platted and served by a cul-de-sac from within the plat. The council and staff reviewed the proposal. 87.348 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Nelson to approve the preliminary plat of Homestead Creek subject to the Option 2 plan for the exception area as presented by Good Value Homes being incorporated into the final plat, and that the funds for completing the cul-de-sae to serve this exception area be escrowed under terms of the development agreement. toll call was taken on the motion.
