Public Hearing - Sanitar Sewer and Watermain Construction (M-2 Area) A petition was eceived from W. C. Anderson, requesting sewer, water, and blacktop street for the S 1/2 of SE 1/4 of S.32, R.24, T.32 (58.4 acres). Discussion was had On a private water system, which would eliminate the need for an elevated storage tank and could use a smaller well pipe with a lesser g. p.m.; and benefits an problems associated with this type of system. Engineer Kasma advised that thi type of project could be handled in two ways, i. e., petition - to be done On an assessment basis, or where the developer would install everything and pay the cos~himself. This would be handled the same as roads are now in platted areas. r. Anderson was informed that his first step would be to initiate the rezoning and platting of the property, after which a feasibility report could be ordered. 1975 Regular Council Meeting - April 15, Minutes - Page 3 Public Hearing - M2 Area (Continued) Jay Joyner, repr~senting Caswell and Associates, advised the City Council that Mr. Caswell's oDjection to the present system was that he would receive no benefit from the trunk liJes on the north side of Bunker Lake Boulevard. Mr. Joyner was not able to riport on Mr. Caswell's plans for development of the area. It was notèd that there ere 190 acres included in Mr. Caswell's holdings. Engineer Kasma informed Mr. Jo~ner that the trunk lines could be put on the south side of the road with a minimum Óf additional expense. In checking with the Anoka County Assessor's Office, it was fmind that the above area was not eligible for "Green Acres ". Councilperson Ho1lasek reported that he had received a call from Jerry Green, in which he stated qat he would be in favor of water and sewer if he could develop the area to the east of Crosstown Boulevard and north of Bunker Lake Boulevard. Councilperson Ho11asek stated that he assumed that inasmuch as Mr. Green favored the sewer and wat.er in the Crosstown/Bunker Lake area, there would be no objection from him for the property west of Crosstown Boulevard and north of Bunker Lake Blvd. Victor Berggren Ind Herbert Moore questioned the estimated assessment costs. MOTION by Rith~r, seconded by VanderLaan, that the City Council order the construction of the Sanitary Sewer for the Bunker Lake Estates (M.2) Area, and that the Engineer pre are final specifications and plans, and that the City Clerk seek public bids for sa'd project.

Motion carried unanimously. Wilber Variance The Planning and Zoning recommendation to approve the variance was read by Planning and Zon'ng Commission Chairman, Allan Miles. Discussion on whether or not a preciden would be set by granting this variance. It was stated that Ordinance No. 10 was very clear in this matter. It was noted that even though Mr. Wilber's pro erty (4.87 acres) was very close to the then required five acres, several new vari nces could be requested on conveyances where the acreage is "close" to the reuirement--which in turn, would raise the question of "what is close". Attorney Hawkins emphasized that building permits can be refused, or injunctive action an be sought-- which would be eliminated by the granting of a variance.
