This information would be useful to <br />properly design where the pipes need to be placed within the cluster developments coming <br />forward. This study would be an addendum to the Comprehensive Sewer Plan that is in place. <br />Staff received a proposal from Bolton & Menk to complete this update for a cost not to exceed <br />$18,000. The Finance Committee recommended going forward with the proposal. There was <br />also discussion about the cluster ordinance and the Committee would like to remind staff to <br />include this ordinance on a work session agenda for discussion. <br /> <br />Councihncmber Elvig explained this is actually a comprehensive plan study, as opposed to a <br />feasibility study, which is typically petition driven and paid by the petitioner. This study is <br />needed to understand elevations and tracking for the pipes, and this will be dovetailed together <br />with tile comprehensive plan. <br /> <br />Motion by Councihnember Strommen, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to ratify the <br />recommendation of the Finance Committee and to direct staff to update the comprehensive <br />sanitary sewer study to include the area between Trottbrook and the northern City limits to <br />provide a vision on how to proceed with the cluster developments. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

Staff made <br />several site visits and became aware of the problems at 5518 144th Court during one of the visits. <br />These lots are in the Ponds Subdivision.
