Councilman Williams: asked if the Administrator had checked into leasing the house.
Administrator McGuire stated the City could get about $300.00 a month in rent,--from
the property, so the house would pay its way faw the next two or three years.
Motion was made by Williams to instruct the Administrator to go ahead with the
negotiations on the Will House, .seconded by Busse and upon a'vote taken it was duly
passed .
Engineer Anderson presented the Construction Report for April 1 -7, 1975 for review
by the Council.
Engineer Anderson stated that Mr. Ted Anderson has requested a storm sewer stdbout
for the purpose: of dewatering his basement. Motion was made by Oakes Choi the
subsurface water problem of Mr. Ted Anderson be solved by allowing him to, connect
to the storm sewer system, that his conee.ction including the tap on the storm► sewer
be done under the supervision of the City Engineer and according t6 the specifications
of the C -ity Engirteer.,.ond to be paid_forby Mr. Anderson, seconded by Busse and
upon a vote taken it was duly passed.
Engineer Anderson stated that Florence Bienapfl a resident of Point Beautiful, has
signed a 20 foot easement through the length of her lot which is 45 feet wide.
She does not own the adjacent lots, thereby, the lot is not buildable, and it would
appear that she should not be assessed for. the sewer, and water crossing, her property.
Councilman Oakes stated thatclWcouse, the lot is not buildable it is. automatic from
the assessment policy that it would not be assessed for sewer and water.. Councilman
Busse stated she was also concerned about the taxes on the property. `Mayor Stock
slated: for the record that the, Florence Bienapf) property in. accordance with�the
Eity's pbibPy on assessments the property would not be assessed for sewer end water
and that the real estate portion will be referred, 'to the equalization healing which
will be established sometime in May 1975.
Engineer Anderson reported on an Information Meeting held on Saturday April 5, 1975:
with the residents of Point Beautiful' and Sunfish Bay'and that the residents of this
z ank want the4roads remain private. '
K Engineer Anderson. reported, on an Informational Meeting on April. 2, 1975 with the
residents.of Lords and Nivoinson Islands in regard to replacing the bridge leading to
i the Islands.
:$Councilman Oakes wanted to know if the bridge was unsafe and should it be replaced.
'
ngineer Isreelson'stated it `appears as it\ the bridge` is in a state where deterioration
` is° accelerating because the,.abutments f'r� starting,tr-c,crock and once this happens

x Councilman Oakes wonted to q know if the most economical route for water and sewer
into, Lords and U>arti'nson Islands is, underneath the road.
a Engineer Israels6 stated,'this was the most economical route, that the alternative
would be to ptit in cidd'itional manholes and go around the bridge. -
b Councilmoti Oakes stated it is reasonably apparent that the bridge is not exactly
marginal;' it is apporent,that abutments'cpproaching'the. bridge are substandard
- r'
and fi�d e Community m b
lly it is apparent that road width is wich that were the Community to allowi /J

s
` considere d to be liable for any accidents. Councilmon`Clakes recommended'' the
bridge be replaced if the.bridge as iii now exists is 10,x .11;.5 then it would seem.
R easonable if the supplier can produce a 10 x 12 foot ) prefab structure-that should !
be considered, it would seem; further apparent that in order to provide a road which

tend to-obviate the responsibility to, the community in an accident on the bridge, it
should not`be replaced in kinds as for.as length is concerned and, should -be replaced
With a longer structure that would provide at least a 24 foot traveled roadway, the

Attorney Sullivan stated it was the City's responsibility.:'
Mayor Stock wanted to know if there wot+Wmc4tiaatident would the City be liable.
Attorney Sullivan stated -the City could,be liable if there was an accident on the bridge.

Councilman Cakes ,wanted to know it, Engineer Israelson had contacted; the Corpstd'f
Engineers of the National Guard cs a possibility of a training exercise for a, pontoon
bridge. - Engineer Israelson stated that AI Schendel had contacted the Corps of Engineers,
,'
Coast Guard, and Marine Corps and after quite an extensive runaround he finally arrived
at an answer from the Army that they would be happy to accept.. this kind of off the
beaten path, but they would, have to- station several people there, because in the
C
instal lation of the bridge they would cause more, disruption of the intermediate areas
e
the, people would:be willing to. Iive with.. Engineerlsraelson stated he got `the
impression that they were not interested.:becduse.they would have- to bring in about,
30 truck loads.of
material . MayorS.fiock stated he had talked, to. Al Schendel
specifically about this and the Coast Guard does not have the material located in the
`
Greater Metropol itan Area and' it would have to be transported from Camp McCoy
t.
.
Wisconsin, the Minnesota National GuteM was very questionable on what impact this
would, have on the ne'ighborbbod and so on, and the Minnesota National Guard does not
have materiat avoilable in the Metropolitan Area, they would. have to transport their
material from -Camp Ripley -and there again they were.;also quite questionable and really
-
did not reflect any strong interest. Councilman. Oakes stated that if the cost can be cut
and still :get the right job done and ;they. have not said.no he would volunteer to see ;
wbbther or not the City could _get,a bridge built that,would not cost the citizens other
than their-Federal taxes.
Councilman Oakes stated in reply to Councilman William's pointabout.a three foot
culvert,�'that he .has heard from members of,the. Prior Lake Association as%wtdI as those

reasonably similar fashion to tr "t�which exists,- ex e 6
cept for Fih:. Councilman Oakes
`
stated that perhaps the City is'nctt ready to say the, ,route down the center of' the road is
the most economic and the City may not be ready t' say th at the ' bridge i in such
lk
condition .thot'it would'be wise to replace it.fo t axtent•::that from• the, input

fil
tonight, and he proposed that the Council .table the issue until ;the next meeting and
asked IVineerAnderson, Engineer Israelson, and Attorney Sullivan to explore the
several items and report back at the next meeting,
ft;
Engineer Isroelson stated. one. reason that .the. bridge „was, brought upat this time was
because when planning the sewer and water "installation, if it is dormbt the same ;time it
r fit
would..be, cheaper than five years from, now, or after the sewer and water is put in:
I `
i
Councilman Oakes stated that he asked this'qu.estion before and did not get a positive
re*onse, there is no raoson,to replace the bridge if it.does not require replacement, if
it'does not require replacement then the - Council needs to Know the cost of an alternate
,
"route compared to the cost of pulling out and replacing a bridge that does not require
If
replacement. If the bridge does require replacing then the. answer is,obvious and asked
that the matter be. tabled ano6h” week. to let the; homework be done.

Engineer Israelson stated, he did " not know if the bridge would collapse this year or ten

Councilman Williams stated that in the interest of protecting the City the Council
should consider tonight placing a three -ton load limit on the bridge. l' W
Councilman Oakes recommended ii be tabled a week until some of the engineering f
work could be done. :
Mayor Stock stated basically there are two questions, from the information that hos'
been presented at the hearing and tonight, the basic two questions would be one
to leave, thie bridge as it is and go around it with sewer and water, 4Kec46lh4sC @*1np k
Ipxrbe) r��;G,rzgardless, and tlw;�ce,cond,questior0s to replace the bridge and then

adopted and enforced in other areas where sewer and water have been installed and
if it is going to be C�itGjrtrpoinfalni*dstc.,, the 24 foot paved surface. Mayor Stock'
stated�llese em be the alternatives that the City has available and from the meetings
of � niigKt there was some concern about keeping the bridge as they now have ,
it"they-felt thavif the,4ime was.to repla.ce�thet bridge now, it of course would be the
lowest cost =and if it was replaced tWipeople_ at the :meeting felt it should be mcintained.
of lb' •feet.
A resident stated. that lit did not,feel that,in. the, long,run it was to theiradvdhtage
lo keep the:'bridge, that it dal not look like a very sound structure but would, l ke r - L
to. stay with a 1Q x 12 structure. Mayor Stock stated that this was another point, g
r
originally proposed at the. informational meeting;was a =,10 x 10 and the, reason a
l0 x 12 was not proposed at "that. time, was that the was still .uncertain whether
u a ��
or not of. availability. The City has discussed ,this further and it firm
i would construct the >.10 x 12 ei her as a , standard item or the City could have it as 1
a special'butl.ttat a 10 x S 12 with no great increase in cost., _>
A resident wanted to know the cost of the bridge because different casts were stated
tonight than at the. informational meeting. Mayor? Stock `stated the structure as a
10 x 10'as.given that night was $32,000.00; however, tltit structure itself is $14,,000.00, i
the rest of the cost was the dewatering, etc,:, which the will have In any route
�It takes; 'h t cost is built in, the City had a cost of 10 x,`'0 and t' #at v�ras,for a 28
foot surface so",i #.the City culfsthat dawn it:will reduce As cost, the 12 x 10`and
this was for the full 28 feet which amounts to feet aUstnicture;wai`��1;6,000.00,
so there is $2,000.60 difference.
