CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: HENNEPIN COUNTY RECYCLING ORDINANCE Public Works Coordinator Gerhardson noted the highlights of a proposed recycling ordinance to be adopted by Hennepin County. VANEECRHOUT WATER Mr. VanEeckhout was present for this matter. He requests that the City allow him to connect the home under construction at 650 North Brown Road to the Long Lake municipal water system. He was previously granted approval to permit utilization of sewer from Long Lake. Mayor Butler stated, per staff's memo, staff recommends denial because they find no demonstratable hardship and is merely a convenience and cost saving to the developer and a well is a feasible alternative for this site. The basis for this recommendation is that there may be several other properties equally situated that abut the Long Lake water system who may also desire a hookup and such hookups were not in the contemplation of the rural area currently designated in the comp plan unless there is a rezoning and /or comp plan amendment. Mr. VanEeckhout stated that this is the customers preference. He stated that he did not feel a request for water involved the same kind of argumentsas the request for sewer because it does not effect zoning. Mayor Butler stated they she felt it would set a precedent in others requesting for water hook -up. It was noted that when Mr. VanEeckhout made the request for sewer hookup, the City of Long Lake approve both a sewer and water hookup at that time. 14
