• Spray irrigation field — Question on whether alternate route will affect the City's <br />spray irrigation field. The City has an agreement in place with the MPCA. The <br />.._. City is working with WSN regarding the method of treating the sewer and a <br />decision by the City will be made prior to 2017 when the project begins. <br />• The question was asked whether there would be water and sewer at the <br />intersection of 371 and CR 11. Currently the plans do not call for water and <br />sewer; however if the decision is made at a later date to add the utilities, it could <br />be piped in pretty easily even after construction. <br />Discussion was held regarding the connectivity to the business district with the <br />alternate route. Discussion took place regarding signage on the highway. It was <br />noted that a person would be able to see the downtown area from the County <br />Road 11 and 371 interchange. There will be 3 opportunities for motorists to exit <br />off of the freeway if they want to visit downtown Pequot Lakes. <br />• It was suggested by the businesses owners that the default should be to go into <br />Pequot Lakes and the second decision would be to go around town. Jim Hallgren <br />noted that the route has been chosen and to make these types of changes would <br />create a challenge. <br />• MnDOT reiterated the information to the property owners regarding the right-of- <br />way acquisition process. They noted that there are 80-90 parcels that will be <br />affected with 6-10 parcels that will require total relocation. It was stated that there <br />�..- may be MnDOT survey crews in the area soon. There may also be some <br />environmental work beginning and some geotechnical (soil boring) work started. <br />Any soil boring will require MnDOT to contact the property owners directly. <br />MnDOT representatives met with property owners after the meeting to answer questions. <br />Meeting ended at 8 p.m. <br />� <br />
