REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />Date: July 25, 2016 <br /> Item No. 12 <br /> <br />Department Approval: Administrator Approval: Agenda Section: <br />Name: Soren Mattick JML City Attorney’s <br />Title: City Attorney Report <br />Item Description: Closed Session <br /> <br />Location. 1960 Shoreline Drive <br /> <br />Issue. Currently, Lift Station #2 is located partially on the City’s ROW and the property owner’s lot in an area where the City does not have an easement. The City needs to acquire an easement on 1960 Shoreline Drive to maintain the current Lift Station and perform the necessary repairs/upgrades contemplated below. City Staff has been unable to acquire the necessary easement up to this point in time. <br /> <br />Background. Lift Station #2 is a critical lift station regarding the collection of sewage from the Crystal Bay area, Weber Hills area and Heritage Lane. It then coveys that sewage into the Met Council sewer main. Under current load, the lift station can backup within 20 minutes of a loss of power. The City has had aspirations of providing a backup generator for the lift station for some time, however, was unable to acquire access to land immediately adjacent to the lift station. In the summer of 2015 the City was approached by the owners of 1955 Shoreline Drive, offering to provide space/easement for the placement of a backup generator for LS #2. In addition, in July, 2015 the City received a letter and petition from area residents requesting a backup Generator for LS #2. On September 14th, 2015 the council authorized the project to install a generator in support of LS #2.
