Councilman Hints inquired 0-y the 982 completion figure has remained so long on certain projects. Engineers Hagen and Bonestroo explained that it is due to the fact that *here are several items and complaints that hare not as yet leen taken care of by the project contractors. When they are finished and a satisfactory luspection made of the pro- ject they will be considered 100I' complete. The equipment ordered from Allis Chalmers for the water tank has been received and will be installed Tuesday, October 6. 1970 for operation. Councilman Spaeth reported on the Hennepin County League meeting which he and Manager Crawford attended on October first in regard to the Housing Program. Participants in the program spoke on the proposal for building prefab homes, modular homes and mobile home in suburban areas. It was stressed by then that municipalites will have to take &,look at their building and lot size requirements and utility. improvements. Councilman Kindeeth said the village must comae up sooner or later with viewpoints on how the village feels about mobile home parks. A dis- cussion ensued on who lives in mobile houses and it was brought cut that the ratio of school children who l4ve in them is approximately one child per 5.4 units. Councilman Johnson suggested teat it be discussed at our October 26th meeting, but Councilman Hintz felt the Ylanntng Commission should be asked to make t thorough study on this firm . Councilman Kindeeth felt that very little benefit would be derived from the discussion as suggested by Councilman Johnson. He suggested that a mmnittee from the Planning Co:mudssion members with Manager Crawford make a study ai this and gather data for dictribution to Council. Eng- ineer Hagen advised that the Plann1mg Commission has informally discussed this subject and want to take it up further. Some people have told them they think our lot site requirements are too large. He said that under our R-3 zoning we could get away from that by having a planned unit dev- elopment which could be created according to the building code. Engineer Bonestroo added that council shoutld be aware that more requests will be coming in for mobile homes and a well planned workable large development should be kept in mind. RE: PROJECT STATUS REPORT 0 A RE: HOUSING PROGRAM MEETING The Council agreed with Councilman Kindeeth's suggestion and asked that Manager Crawford gather up all material and data available regarding the above subject for a discussion on October 26th. Councilman Hintz stated that at the Mobile Now Association meeting held recently the FHA pre- sented some statistics which would be advisable for the village to obta!n and have on file.

He said he would fit'et like to INTERCEPTOR know what the?stateso is of the Soo Line Industrial Park. He asked if the Council isn't acting prematurely while there are se-tmtal residential areas that have requested sewer and water improvements an& havia not re- ceived them. He would also like to see a letter of guarant0v first from the Lowry Hill developers with re -petit to their proposal and what they are planning to do. Preliminary reports will cost the villag& money,to have prepared; Councilman Kindeeth said sewer and water will. be needed in the Northeast RE: NORTHEAST definitely in the spring. Many people are arging that something be done INTERCEPTOR and he would like to see it handled properly. Councilman Johnson agreed with him and feels the No_theast portion will develop faster than the Northwest. He said we should get preliminary reports on both Interceptors, Manager Crawford said in order to develop a program for next year cr the year after you must do some preliminary work in order to get the soate, benefits, develop a plan for capital improvements and it is better ro do it when you are not under the gun so a program can be scheduled. Attorney Lefler said if preliminary reports are not ordered in advance and the village gets into the spring season, then A•vmer, then there's it rush for easements, right-of-ways, assessment hearings, et4s By obtaining these reports such situations can be avoided. Councilman Hintz said he prefers to see those projects on last year's project list taken care of. Many people asked for improvements: and need them now, for instance, 34th Avenue and Medicine Lake Boulevard, Council- man Spaeth said he would like to see a sheet of paper requesting sewer for the Northeast, up to this time he has seen no such request. Nor for the Northwest said Councilman Hintz. Councilman Kindseth said there were two requests and the Northeast will be necessary for the now Junior High School to be built in 1971. Many people are lookingin the Northeast area to put up industrial plants but go to New Hope because we have no improve- ments there. Engineer Hagen recommenAed that the village order reports on the inter- ceptors so some concept can be reached on cost, long range planning, bonding, what kind of program the village can afford and evaluate lateral coats. Councilman Hintz questioned the fact that our building permits are down and the Advisory Committee's statement to go up in the Northwest area and asked if it is to lies assume.l that the Lowry Hill developers will pay for tho total interceptor. The developer appeared before them and said he didn't want Engineer Bonestroo to do it and until he, himself, hears something different he will not order the report said Councilman Hintz. MOTION was made by Councilman Spaeth, second by Councilman Johnson to order a preliminary report for that Northwest Interceptor. Councilmen Johnson and Spaeth voted aye, Courcilmen flints and Kindeeth voted nays, motion failed. 3 lug D 041 si Page 4, Regular Meeting, October 5, 1970 Councilman Kindseth said a report should be ordered for the Northeast Interceptor due o the school and asked, -Engineer bonestroo if 'he had prepared a study sometime;ago for an interceptor to go along Coun:v etc d 18. Engineer Bonestroo said a report Was made but when the Dart Indtg- trial Park pulled out it was felt there was no need'for it. ile-added that when=th+e 2' contour maps become available within the next month they will be of help in preparing the preliminary reports. MOTION was made by Councilman Hintz, second by Councilman Kindseth to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 7n-404, A RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO HAVE PREPARED PR7,6.L11''?1ARY P.EPORTS FOR THE NORTHEAST P.- NORTHWEST INTERCEPTORS.
