Also present: City <br /> Planner Olson, City Engineer Cook, On-Site Systems <br /> Manager Gaffron, Public ��orks Coordinator Gerhardson, <br /> and City Clerk Strom. Absent: City Administrator <br /> Benson. � <br /> Mayor Van Nest stated that since a quorm was not MINNETONKA BLUFFS, ORON <br /> present and no action could be taken tonight, the LANE, WEST FERNDALE <br /> meeting would be an informal one with citizen ROAD, & COUNTY #15 <br /> participation and information presented for the SEWERS <br /> residents concerned for their particular area. <br /> City Engineer Cook stated that it was decided at <br /> the previous public information meeting to look at <br /> the feasibility of constructing sanitary sewers for <br /> this particular area. Two basic alternates were <br /> considered after checking the conditions of the <br /> soil borings, where peat was found in depths of <br /> 30 feet, so a normal sewer installation for the <br /> area would be difficult. <br /> Mr. Cook presented slides demonstrating the process <br /> of the flow of sewers to the Blue Lake Treatment <br /> Plant. The slides also explained the routes of <br /> the sewer line to be taken through the different <br /> areas to be sewered. Assessment boundaries were <br /> discussed, r4r. Cook stated that wetlands would <br /> not be served, but building sites would be assessed <br /> per buildable site, not by number of lots per dwelling. <br /> Division of larger properties was discussed concerning <br /> the need for sewers if they had adequate room for <br /> private septic systems. <br /> Mayor Van Nest stated that if larger properties wanted <br /> sewers, they would have to join in now for sewer and <br /> not a few years later after sewers are in, so that <br /> they would be included in the assessments now. <br /> Mayor Van Nest also commented that some areas on County <br /> Road #15 were large enough to handle private septic <br /> systems , and it would not be necessary for these <br /> larger properties to have municipal sewers; therefore, <br /> these were not included in the proposed project. <br />
