Council member Berning reported that Council member Vetsch and himself met with St.
Michael Mayor Zachman and Council member Hagerty discussing the Albert Villas storm water
ponding that Albertville is proposing to place on the new STMA School property. This storm
water ponding will be located within the St. Michael city limits. Berning stated that as they
discussed drainage, the subject of Main Street or Main Avenue connection came up in the
conversation.
The City Council looked to City Attorney Couri for advice inquiring what option the City
Council could have should they decide to go forward, and only IF the Council would allow Main
Street or Main Avenue to connect to St. Michael. Is there an option or options that could be put
in a Comp Plan when and if the time arises to connect Main Street or Main Avenue, could the
Council have the option to consider implementation or construction of the street?
City Attorney Couri stated that it appears the safest approach would be to put a Comp Plan in
place and basically leave it open as to whether the future Council has the option to proceed with
the connection of Main Street or Main Avenue or not to proceed with the construction.
Mayor Peterson informed the City Council members and staff that he was not in favor of the
connection of Main Street or Main Avenue from Albertville to St. Michael.
City Administrator Kruse reported that staff will discuss the option whether to proceed or not
during the Tuesday, November 21 Consultant staff meeting. Staff will put together a proposal
and present it to the Council at a future meeting.
