PLANNING AND ZONING: No items of business
ENGINEER’S REPORT: The board discussed the paving of Boys Ave. There has been no petition submitted by the landowners requesting the improvement; however, they had spoken to the city engineer since this area is located within the orderly annexation agreement. Clerk Raisanen reported that getting enough signatures on a petition covering 35% frontage foot of the road surface might be difficult because a majority of the road frontage would not directly benefit one parcel, which is a majority of the road frontage. The board will take action if the residents present a petition requesting the improvement.
Engineer Kuhn reported that a portion of a driveway had to be removed along Donway Drive to complete the road surface patching. The landowner approved the proposed plan.
The board briefly discussed the water in the road right of way along McKay Ave. The consensus of the board was that this was a county matter.
NEW BUSINESS: Clerk Raisanen reported that the levy amount for ALASD will be $167,082 for 2011. The proposed budget for 2011 had a budgeted amount of $200,000.00 for ALASD.
The reason for the decrease was the decrease in property values due to phase III of the orderly annexation agreement.
Chairman Thalman reported that ALASD has received the TMDL report related to the discharge from the ALASD plant into Lake Winona. The report made the recommendation to appoint a lead agency to oversee water quality in Lake Winona. More info will be presented to the public in the future.
Being no further business, Feuling, seconded by Alstead, made a motion to adjourn.
Meeting adjourned at 6:25 PM.
Respectfully submitted….
