The Mayor commented that future buyers of the single family homes should be informed there are apartments proposed for certain areas also. John Voss reviewed the preliminary plat and the parkland near Alimagnet Lake. He said the Planning Commission was concerned about vehicular access to the park and viewing the Lake from the park. The Council discussed various means of getting vehicular access for the park. It was also noted that the developers have acquired the strip of property in Burnsville along the Lake. Mr. Anderson said there is a flat area north of this property that could possibly be used for parking. The plans will be redrafted and the Council asked if this could be reviewed at a joint Planning Commission-Council meeting. They said one concern was to maintain as much public lakeshore property as possible. Consideration of an ordinance related to conduct of persons on school property was tabled and will be reviewed by the City Attorney. PUBLIC HEARING - The Mayor called the public hearing on Project 76-13, Pemtom. Development utility and street improvements, to order at 8:45 p.m. The Clerk said he recommends this hearing not be closed tonight because of unanswered questions related to assessments, particularly the water reservoir which is part of it. The Mayor read the public hearing notice. Robert Rosene reviewed the utilities, proposed for the area to serve 365 single family lots and noted the proposed reservoir. The storm water in the southeast corner will flow toward the east and the rest will flow north to a ponding area before going into the Whitney Drive storm sewer and finally to Keller Lake. The total cost of the project including the water reservoir is $2,296,100.00. Branning asked about having the storm water flow west into Lac Lavon. Mr. Rosene said Lac Lavon is a ground water table lake and is very clean now. The storm water would carry silt into it and the pre- sent drainage pattern in the area is toward the nort and east and should not be changed. The Mayor called for any questions or comments from the Council and public; there being none, the hearing was continued indefinitely at 9:03 p.m. Councilman Branning announced that Sam Emond is playing the organ at Apple Place this week to set a record for the Guiness Book of World Records and also soliciting donations for muscular dystrophy. Mayor Largen brought up the revisions to the Big Wheel Auto Parts conditional use permit. Mr. Art Leibfried, representing the store, said they would like the delivery entrance on the south side because the rear of the building will be only 30 feet from the lot line and there would not be enough room for a truck to back into it.

He said this area is quite a long distance from the water reservoirs and is also at a higher elevation.

Individual pressure tanks could be installed in each house at a cost of $250 each, or pressure reducing stations could be constructed, in the water mains. When the area has been completely developed, three pressure reducing stations, at $7,000 each, would be needed, but at the present time installing one in the Hayes Road water main would handle the problem.
