Councilmember Zimmerman expressed a desire to get an amount comparable to what other cities are getting. Mr. Jankowski agreed. City Administrator Norman agreed also and suggested that PageMart may "walk" when they hear our request, however, staff is comfortable with that if Council is. Councilmember Haas Steffen stated she would like $1,000 a month lease and wouldn't have difficulty if they "walk". Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to recommend that staff reject the $400/month offer from PageMart. Further discussion: Staff was directed to see what other cities have written up in their contract agreements with regard to access, etc. Use a City lease as opposed to the lease agreement written up by the communication company. It may behoove the City to find out more about the company also. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Haas Steffen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case #3: Consider Sewer and Water Extension to Burger King City Engineer Jankowski reported that Burger King has petitioned the City for inclusion into the MUSA and, if approved, would require sewer and water extension for services at their site, which is on the west side of County Road #56 between the railroad tracks and T.H. #10. Mr. Jankowski suggested there are a number of alternatives for extending municipal service to this site and he recommended the following: Install approximately 1,000 feet of 27-inch sanitary sewer down 143rd Avenue, which would be jacked across C.R. #56. A smaller 10-inch sewer would be extended southward and jacked across the railroad track to provide gravity sewer service to the site. The watermain would follow the same route, with an 8-inch main being extended down 143rd Avenue and a 12-inch main south along the west side of C.R. #56 to the site. This would disturb all of the existing 143rd Avenue pavement and it would be reasonable to restore the roadway with the addition of concrete curb and gutter and storm water pipe, which the street currently lacks. Mr. Jankowski noted that this is not the least expensive alternative, however, it is the most economical - most cost effective. It will provide trunk sanitary sewer to the undeveloped area between C.R. #56 and C.R. #83. This area has great potential for development, particularly with the construction of C.R. #116 providing access. Sewer and water trunk charges from this area have the potential for generating as much as $3.28 million. This project will provide an opportunity for the upgrading of 143rd Avenue, with curb and gutter and storm sewer. These improvements are more consistent with the Road and Bridge Committee/July 21, 1998 Page 4 of 8
