Commissioner Sentryz asked how much time is involved in setting everything up. <br />Mr. Klein said that Ham Lake just finished and it was about a four month process. <br />Any other work after that would take about 60 days. That is part of the contract. <br /> <br />Chairman Greenberg thanked Mr. Stephen Klein for attending the meeting. <br /> <br />City Engineer Raatikka was introduced to the Economic Development Commission by <br />Chairman Greenberg. The City Engineer brought the EDC up-to-date on the availa- <br />bility of sewer for Ramsey. <br /> <br />Commissioner Sentryz asked how far on Highway #10 the interceptor will go. City <br />Engineer Raatikka explained that as it is proposed now, it would go out to County <br />Road #57 (Sunfish Lake Blvd.). <br /> <br />Commission Menkveld asked if the proposed 1990 sewer area flow is too large. City <br />Engineer Raatikka stated that what Ramsey is proposing is greater than what they <br />are allowing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Menkveld also asked what the plans are for interceptor hook-up. City <br />Engineer Raatikka answered that we are doing a feasibility study that was ordered <br />for the area. After that there would be the public hearing to get citizen input. <br /> <br />Councilman Cox wondered if the City would have to pick up any costs of oversizing <br />for way out in the northwest area of the City. Engineer Raatikka stated no, only <br />in boundaries set by MWCC. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fults asked if there would be a problem if, in the designated area, <br />a developer offered to pay the difference for the larger size. Engineer Raatikka <br />said there would be no problem if a developer is willing to pay additional costs. <br /> <br />Commissioner Menkveld asked just how strict the MWCC is. City Administrator <br />Schnelle stated that if Ramsey had a big demand for sewer, they could give to us <br />and take from others. <br /> <br />Jean Schlueter asked what is meant by oversizing. Building Official Berg stated <br />that the oversizing of trunks is the increase in size to provide capacity for <br />areas beyond the immediate area that is being developed. The oversizing cost <br />would be funded by the City and assessed when the area to be served is developed. <br /> <br />City Engineer Raatikka said that there is a problem in that we can have the 2% <br />acre lot size in the rural area if we give up the second connection, or they will <br />give us the second connection if we change the lot size to ten acres. If they <br />left the 2% acre zoning in the rural area, then those areas would be in competi- <br />tion with the urban area for development. <br /> <br />Commissioner Fults asked if the boundaries for sewer can be changed. City Engineer <br />Raatikka stated that they could. <br /> <br />Chairman Greenberg thanked Mr. Raatikka for coming to the meeting. <br /> <br />EDC/March 10, 1982 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
