require utilities to be brought to the property line. He stated that he is fine working with <br /> Capstone to figure out a process but noted that in the end another party would be brought in to <br /> develop the AKM Farms property. He simply asked that the City require utilities be brought to <br /> the property line. He noted that it would not be feasible to serve the property with sewer and <br /> water without that connection as it would not be feasible to run the utilities down Alpine. He <br /> stated that the lift station could also serve the golf course property in the future, if the connection <br /> is provided, in the case that the golf course goes defunct and is developed. He stated that the <br /> trunk fees would pay for the connection and this would be the only utility stub to the west of the <br /> Capstone property. He stated that they will follow the City's guidance and noted that if the <br /> utility connection is not provided, the land will be sold and developed as rural and if utility <br /> connection is provided, the development possibility will increase. <br /> Acting Mayor LeTourneau confirmed that AKM Farms would like the utility connection <br /> provided now. He asked for input on the potential compensation for the two lots that would be <br /> lost by providing the connection. <br /> Mr. Roessler stated that they believe that the City already provided compensation to Capstone <br /> for making their project feasible and providing that utility connection to the west. He stated that <br /> they would be open to discussion but believes that this should not be an issue with Capstone and <br /> AKM Farms and should be an issue with the City and Capstone as the City would like to allow <br /> for opportunity for future development. He stated that if the two parties are left to negotiate and <br /> an agreement cannot be reached, the City would be left with Outlot C developing as 16 rural lots. <br /> He stated that if this would have been addressed at the time of the original Preliminary Plat, a 60- <br /> foot easement would have been required. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked if providing the water connection only would be sufficient. <br /> Mr. Roessler confirmed that water connection would be agreeable and septic systems would be <br /> used. <br /> Councilmember Shryock asked if there is any concern or difference between sewer and water <br /> utilities or individual wells. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that if septic and wells are used, the water stays here whereas <br /> utility connections send the water and sewer to St. Paul. <br /> City Engineer Westby stated that currently there are no prohibiting regulations that would <br /> prevent development of well and septic on the site. He stated that the future preference would be <br /> to promote municipal utilities as septic systems will become more highly regulated. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that if the City typically requires a sewer and water connection to <br /> future areas, how was this missed in this case. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that there are many areas in the community <br /> where future pipe connections are not required based off the City's land use plan. He stated that <br /> if the developing property is adjacent to an urban service area property, that connection will be <br /> City Council Work Session/June 26,2018 <br /> Page 3 of 8 <br />
