I <br />L <br />-V T -H <br />TO:Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator <br />DATS:December 21» <br />SUBJECT: Request for Sewer - woodhill Country Club <br />Attachment: A» Woodhill Country Club Memo Dated 11/20/90 <br />B. Woodhill Letter Dated 12/11/90 <br />ISSUE - <br />1. Present to Council additional information based on questions <br />raised at prior meetings as to the sewer hook up. <br />2. Determine direction Council desires regarding this request for <br />sewer. <br />INTRODUCTION - The matter was presented to the Council at its <br />NovemEerJ^ 1990 meeting and was tabled to the Co-„r il’«: January <br />14, 1991 meeting. <br />DISCUSSION - In response to issues raised at the meeting the <br />following Information is provided: <br />Grinder Station - The question was raised as to what <br />the reason the grinder station was installed east of the <br />bridge when the City was considering sewer on West <br />Ferndale. This was done as it was cheaper to install a <br />grinder station than pump the sewage for the two houses <br />in Orono on the east side of the Ferndale bridge east in <br />the Wayzata pipes rather than putting the necessary <br />piping to the west. It was not an issue related to the <br />capacity of the lift station on County Road 15. (If <br />this were an issue the Woodhill Country Club might be <br />able to hook into the proposed Metro Waste pumping <br />station currently proposed at West Ferndale and County <br />Road 15.) <br />Annexation - As mentioned last time annexation appears <br />to have taken place in about 1956 primarily because the <br />Country Club desired to go from a bottle club to a <br />regular liquor license club, which was not offered by <br />Orono at the time, this was subsequently changed by <br />referendum during the '60's in Orono but there was no <br />apparent reversion clause at that time. <br />ALTERNATIVES - As noted in Attachment B the Country Club did <br />consider alternatives including hook up to the Wayxata system, <br />but this would necessitate having to jack under both the rail <br />road tracks and Highway 12, a run that is about twice as long as <br />the one proposed here. Secondly they did consider septic tanks
