Present: Mayor Hilde, Councilmen O'Fallon, Hurt and Hagen, the Village Administrator, Attorney and Engineer. Absent: Councilman Humphrey (Out of country on bueiness). PUBLIC HEARINGS Mayor Hilde opened the continuation of the public hearing to consider RE: 0.40TInN .'MADE the installation of the Northwest interceptor Sanitary Sewer System. & WITHDRAWN RE: Mayor Hilde, with a quorum present, closed the public hearing. N.W. INTERCEPTOR MOTION by Councilman Hagen, second by kayor Hilde, to adopt a RES- SAN. SEWER OLUTION ORDERING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS PVR INSTALLATION OF THE NORTIR015T INTERCEPTOR SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM. Councilmen Hagen withdrew his motion and Mayor Hilde withdrew his second. The Coun- cil decided to delay action on ordering this improvement so it could be grouped with another project. Councilman Hunt left the meeting at 7:50 p.m. to attend a Hoard of Zoning Adjustment meeting. May^r'Hilde opened the continuation of the public hearing to con- RE: NORTHEAST uider the installation of the Northwest leg of the Northeast Inter -INTERCEPTOR OR ceptor Sanitary Seger to serve the area north of 26th Avenue along SAN. SEWER East Medicine Lake Boulevard. Mayor Hilde declared the hearing clo«e4 et 8:55 p -m. NVor Hilde requested the Village Engineer to report concerning the Kisoica Farm Northeast extension of this sewer eyetera:. The Engineer reported that this extension of the Northeast Interceptor through a portion of the Mission Farm prop- erty is an extension of the interceptor for lateral service pur- poses. Mayor Hilde stated the ordering of a public hearing on the ` Mission Farm extension should be coordinated with the ordering of the Northwest leg extension of the Northeast Interceptor. 'Phe Engineer and Councilman Hagen felt that the extension to the Mission Farms should be considered as a part of, and at tie same time, as the Northeas+ Interceptor. The Engineer stated that, whatever the consideration, the bidding of the Misolon Farm ex- tension should be done along with the Northwest leg of the North- east Interceptor. The Council agreed that the only reason for delaying of ordering plane and spevificiatione for the Northwest leg of the Northeast Interceptor is to complete the public hear- ing prooeou on the kission Farm extenuion of this interceptor. The Council requested the financial feasibility of this extonBion to the Mesion Farmu be studied. 00vw„ , ' h a 0 c Council Kinutes - September 23, 1908 - Page 2 PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMKUNICATIONS O ltrs.

RD. 6* OLIVE sion at County Road #f,, Olive and Merrimac Lanes intersections. AND MERRIMAC LANES He reported a solution to the problem on a temporary basis and STORM SEWER MENs on a permanent basis. A temporary solution would cost $5,700.00 and a permanent so1L•4:ion could be arrived at a cost of $319500. No part of the temporary solution could be used in the permanent solution of the drainage of this area. On the permanent solution, the assessment would be approximately $158 per every 1/2 acre lot. The temporary solution,aesesoment would approximately be $93 per 1%2 acre lots The Attorney reported that the pond to the south of County Road #6 should receive certain attention as far an ease- ments and the control of the lake should be carefully determined because of a lemsuit which developed over dumping additional watere into it. Councilman Hunt returned to the meeting at 3:23 p.m. Curtis Gustaxfson, 435 Orchid Lane - representing St. Phillip's Lutheran Church, appeared to inquire about Reverend Lindb,loom's house. The parsonage for th#1 parish is located on the ponding area between Merriman. and Clive Lanes. Mr. Gustafson asked tl.e Village Engineer if either of these two solutions could je opera- tive this Spring. The Engineer stated it would not be too likely that either of these two solutions could be completed by Spring unless the Council were to order bids and specifications at the same time as they had the public hearing. Mr. Gustafson felt the temporary solution chou.la be completed this year if at all p013sible. Mr. Robert Stahl, 1625 Merrimac Lane - appeared and stated that until 19650 the ponding area between Nerrimac and Olive lanes had a water level whioh did not cover much of his back yard, however, since 1965 it now covers aoproximately 3,000 equare feet of his lot. His lot is about 23,OCO square feet, leaving about 15 per- cent of the lot innundated, and since 19b5 it has remained at that level. Mr. Stahl telt that from a financial standpoint, he prefered the permanent volution, however, if nothing were to be done other than the permanent, he would prefar the temporary solution. Mr. J. Wiena, Route #2, Wayzata - representing: St. Phillip's Church, stated he was in favor of either solution, however, maybe the permanent volution would be bettor becn.,se c t% finances.

Queensland Lane - representing St. Phil hip's Church, asked why the temporary solution couldn't serve as the permznent solution because of makin, the drainage flow to the northern eiie of County Road #6. The Engineer stated some of the temporary solution was open ditch, it wasn't all enclosed, and it would cause additional maintenance so it really ion''. designed to be artj type of a permanent enclosed drain- age. I If Kr. Wiens further stated the cost of the might be easily saved by the property owners spend additional monies on their drainfields systems.

The Engineer stated it would not. Mr. J. Herquet, 18250 219t Avenue Kort:% - representing St. Phillip's Church, rbquested the period of time it ;could take fug either solution Mayor Hilde btated he gathered from the total conversation that it would not be feasible to have done this winter. Councilman Hagen stated because it is obvious this could not be completed this year, that we might consider including it in with the Southwest area uanitary sewer to make it economically more feasible.
