Searles <br /> February 6, 1978 <br /> Page 2 , <br /> �efore the City can. endorse the Orono-Long Lake interceptor as <br /> �resently aesigned, the following �uestion• must be answered by <br /> the ?9e�tropolitan Council and ?TetroPolitan ��aste Control Commission <br /> • ' in a method that the City can rely on: <br /> Can Orono, in restating its Cor�prehensive Land Use Plan, <br /> locate the 1�IUSl1 line in such a way that the unsetaered portion <br /> of the City will be in the rural service area, even though _ <br /> the proposed Orono-Long Lake interceptor pipe itself, may <br /> have additional hydraulic capicity beyond t�e pur*�ping stations <br /> presently c3esigned to serve only that portion of Orono which <br /> will lie within the urba�n service area and which is presently <br /> -sewered? - " : - " <br /> As you knoc,�, Bob, the City submitted its Comprehensive Sewer Plan <br /> in October of 1976 and _ negotiated ���ith the I�3e�ropolitan Council ' <br /> until finallv reaching an agreement in 2iarch of 1977, which resulted <br /> in an acceptable Systems Statement and staff recommenc3ation of the <br /> Comprehensive Sewer Plan in June of 1977_ Since that time, the <br /> City has received no assurances from the Metropolitan Council staff <br /> t�,at we will be able to locate the ii�SA line in accardance with our <br /> Comprehensive Plan ac3opted in 1974. It seems to us that before <br /> we c�o to any expense of restating our Cor�Prehensive Plan in accoraanc <br /> with the ISandatozy I�and Planning Act,that our Co�p�ehensive Sewer <br /> - Plan should be approved and a :neaningful answer to the question <br /> stated above should be given by the ?Setropolitan Council= Z,7e feel <br /> strongly that the ground rules should be agreec3 c�n hefore the Orono- <br /> . Long I.ake interceptor is �onstructed so that we don't find out <br /> that the game is. over once the interceptor is constructed and that <br /> . ' the fact t1-iat the interceptot_is in the ground dictates that all <br /> of rural Orono must be in the urban service area of the 2ietropolitan <br /> area_ � _ - <br /> I arn enclosing a copy of a revisec drawing showing the City's <br /> location of the TSUSA line as a res�lt of our meeting �f last Thursaay <br /> with Bernie Aarrington and �arl Burandt_ <br /> ihank you for your cooperation in this rmatter. <br /> Y s truly ( . <br /> � <br /> Brad Van 27est <br /> Orono I.ayor - <br /> Enclosure <br /> cc: Otto I3onestroo, City Engineet _ <br /> Jim Olson, City Engineer <br /> Jim Daley, rletropolitan Council <br />
