SHOREWOOD OAKS WATER DISCUSSION
Attorney Froberg reviewed with the City Council what has been
occurring over the past week relative to negotiations with Mr. Tom
Wartman regarding the water interconnection of the Shorewood Oaks
Development with the Boulder Bridge Farm Development. Mr. Wartman
not only requested an amendment to the existing Boulder Bridge Farm
Development Agreement, but also to get two adjacent proposed
developers to sign an agreement relating to connection to the Boulder
Bridge municipal water system. The two developers declined to sign
the agreement. As to the Boulder Bridge proposed amendment
negotiations, Mr. Wartman has requested a revised development
agreement with the City. His original Development Agreement stated
he could recoup some of the costs which were assessed to his property
for the installation of the deepwell and pumphouse serving the
Boulder Bridge Farm Development. That installation was oversized to
serve adjoining property outside of the development. One of the
requirements that Mr. Wartman wanted included in his Amended
Development Agreement was an extension of the Agreement to the year
1999. The agreement would then expire June 23, 1999 or whenever Mr.
Wartman recouped $158,000 plus interest accrued at 8% per year from
June 23, 1981 which date has been determined to be the completion
date of the Boulder Bridge Farm municipal water system. Although a
similar Amended Agreement had been tentatively agreed upon in 1986,
Mr. Wartman has requested several additional clauses. The feeling of
the Council at this time is that they do not want to bind themselves
to an extended Development Agreement and discussed how to proceed
without further negotiations with Mr. Wartman.
Attorney Froberg reviewed several options the City could consider in
an effort to allow the current Boulder Bridge Development Agreement
to expire on June 23, 1988 at which time connections outside of the
Boulder Bridge Development would no longer be required to pay the
connection fee of $2,000 plus 8% interest from 1981 to the Boulder
Bridge Developer. The Council discussed a proposal whereby the City
would pay for outside connections to the Boulder Bridge municipal
water system from the General Fund (Contingency Fund) for those
connections in the Shorewood Oaks Development.

SHOREWOOD OAKS WATER DISCUSSION - cont.
Said payments would cover connections between now and June 23, 1988
at which time the Boulder Bridge Farm Development Agreement would
expire and connections in Shorewood Oaks would no longer pay a
connection fee. The connection fees paid by the Contingency Fund to
Boulder Bridge between now and the expiration date of June 23, 1988,
would be repaid with interest from future water connections.
Connection fees outside of Shorewood Oaks would be paid by the
respective property owner. Motion by Gagne, seconded by Brancel, to
approve of the proposal to pay for the Shorewood Oaks connections to
the Boulder Bridge Farm municipal water system from the Contingency
Fund until June 23, 1988 to be repaid with interest from future
connections. Motion carried unanimously.

WCL ACRES DISCUSSION
Mr. Herb Gager of 23640 Yellowstone Trail appeared before the City
Council to discuss the effects of the WCL Acres Development Project
on his property. The WCL Acres project is located directly south of
Mr. Gager's residence. The concern is that the new street will come
out directly in line with his front windows and car headlights will
shine into his home at night. Engineer Norton reviewed the
construction staking for the roadway stating that the stakes are
normally off set from the location of the actual construction. The
Council and staff went over the construction plans with Mr. Gager.
Because of the location of the proposed street in relationship to the
front of the house, Mr. Gager requested if any screening would be
installed as part of the project. The Council indicated that none is
planned and directed Mr. Gager to contact the developer, Dick Larsen,
to make the request for screening. The Council took no further
action.
Motion by Haugen, seconded by Brancel, to adjourn the Special Meeting
of May 4, 1987 at 8:25 p.m. Motion carried unanimously - 5 ayes.
