r ■122089.7 /J <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrato^*'' <br />DATS: January 19, 1990 <br />SUBJECT: Highway 12 Sewer and Water System <br />-’Aii 22 iSS: <br />Attachment: A. Trunk Highway 12 Feasibility Report Project 89-1 <br />Excerpt Dated 4/10/89 <br />3. Glenn Cook Letter Dated 1/2/90 <br />ISSUE - <br />1. Determine whether the City desires to authorize undertaking a <br />feasibility study for the Highway 12 sewer link to be routed to <br />the Orono sewer plant rather than running the new interceptor to <br />the Orono Orchard pump station connection with the Metro Waste <br />Control Commission. <br />2. If that is desirable as a route, initiation of the necessary <br />Comprehensive Plan amendment to determine if Metro Council would <br />approve such. <br />INTRODUCTION - As noted before, staff has explored a different <br />link for the Highway 12 area to the Orono sewer plant as opposed <br />to the Orono Orchard station. The City does have the necessary <br />lease from Burlington Northern to run the li.e to tne Orono <br />Orchard sewer pump station, but this would be capacity that <br />parallels existing capacity in the Orono/Long Lake/Medina Line. <br />Routing the line to the Orono plant would provide this capacity <br />in a new area plus additional capacity for Orono through two pump <br />stations (although the Orono-Wayzata Interceptor would provide a <br />restriction) without causing any need for assessment or allowing <br />for any hookup. No properties between the Highway 12 authorized <br />MUSA area and the Orono plant would either be assessed or allowed <br />to hookup. Anticipated cost of this prior to a feasibility study <br />is approximately $550,000. Which is approximately 7% more than <br />the $518,000 estimate of a separate line going to the Orono <br />Orchard station, however, it would provide the City with <br />substantially more options in the future.
