The City Attorney expressed concern about Alternate #2 found on page
52 of the report as to how long the forcemain would be and would
the forcemain really constitute a part of Lake Ann Phase II and III.
Perhaps that alternate should be elaborated upon to determine at what
point,in the northwestern part of Chanhassen, it goes from aforcemain
to a gravity line. This may be a way to get a part of the balance
of Phase II or Phase III completed.
