He had colored areas representings (1) where existing sewers, etc. are at present, (2) potential staging for commercial areas, (3) all industrial area in Airlake Industrial Park, (4) Hwy 5fl corrider represents the area that has all their services i.n, and Valley Park area is other major which should be allowed tq grew, and (5) the mid-range area-- the ability to pay for pipe in this area is sparse. When asked about present w/s d®velopment that is being done, Mr. Rosex~e said, "obviously not going to be able to serve Dakota ggts area without a connecting jinx-- are in process of getting casein®nts across the proposed Laddusaw plat. There have been difficulties--a gasket has had to be re-placed; there have been some leaky joints that were discovered; all of these have beeaa taken care of. Mr. Rosene said he would like to take Planners map of USA Concept and super- impose theirs upon it--then recommend some adjustments. "What is type of land and what is its potentiality, should be considered, as well as the existing trunks--and also consider transportation plan."

Mr. Rosene was asked if he could also "get us a map of this"? He said yes. Also thought we should "establish a policy of every year updating W/S lines that are in and lines that are determined necessary,or proposed." He estimated a charge of about $lU0 to update such a map each year. He went on to say he believed that the Planning Commission should have maps "where you can pull them out and see if development should go in, when a developer • comes in." Planner Ryan said this is the second map he has recently prepared and could Planning Commission dos (1) accept the staging of the thing, and (2) take it to engineers to add their recommendations. Mr. Rpsene stated that usually a City puts in facilities and the developer does roads, and the charges go back against the property. "Some communities are requiring a one years assessment in their bond, as well as the streets. However, want it done as economically as possible for the guy wno is building the house." "$3U,UU0 is the figure that has been given the City sor a drainage plan. This would have an overlay--with comprehensive plan on the bottom.M Policies of Lakeville USA .Concept, as outlined by Planner Ryan, arcs (1) all new industrial growth should be concentrated in Airlake Industrial park, (2) all commercial growth shall be concentrated within the "old village" area, with secondary area of intersection of Hwy 50 and 3SW, and (3) no commercial or industrial growth shall be allowed where S/W do not exist, unless the expansion of that same facility is contained in improvements program.
