Proposed Action.
staff recommends the following motion: Move that Council enter
into an access aqreement with Amoco Oil Company for the
installation of a monitorinq well in city riqht-of-wav at the
southeast corner of Mainstreet and Shady Oak Road.
overview.
In the course of an environmental assessment at Smith Imports
near Shady Oak Road and Mainstreet (former Amoco station), an
underground gasoline leak was detected. A ground water
investigation under the supervision of the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency has been under way for several months. The
purpose of the investigation is to delineate the extent of
dissolved hydrocarbons emanating from the former service station
site. Amoco oil Company, the apparent responsible party for the
gasoline leak, seeks to place a monitoring well in City
. right-of-way immediately south of Mainstreet between an existing
wood fence and an access road in the Pines Mobile Home Park.
Issues to Consider
0 Why is an agreement recommended?
The city needs to protect public interest in right-of-way
matters, especially when major alterations are anticipated
within the right-of-way, e.g., the proposed upgrading of
Shady Oak Road and Mainstreet. The MPCA could use its
authority to force the city into the siting of a monitoring
well on public right-of-way. For these two reasons it is
prudent for the city to retain as many options for the
future, and an access agreement meets that need.
0 Recommendation:
The city Attorney has reviewed the attached agreement and
finds it in order. staff recommends Council authorization.
