ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL JOINT WORK SESSION—JANUARY 19, 2016 5 <br /> Acting Public Works Director Anderson indicated that the rear yard sewer is a public sanitary <br /> sewer that was originally constructed with clay pipe. This sewer has since been lined. The <br /> proposed sewer would be constructed with PVC pipe. Public Works will need to clean this sewer <br /> periodically and to accomplish that will need access from the street to a new manhole in the back <br /> yard with an easement machine. Public Works will need this access protected by an easement and <br /> kept clear of all obstacles such as fences, retaining walls, gardens, plantings, etc. <br /> Staff requested that the Council provide the applicant with feedback on how to proceed. <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding the proposed sanitary sewer realignment at 3280 Sandeen <br /> Road. <br /> Mayor Grant asked if this sanitary line had been relined. <br /> Acting Public Works Director Anderson reported that this was the case as the existing clay pipe <br /> had been lined. <br /> Mayor Grant questioned how many additional feet of sewer lines would be needed. <br /> Acting Public Works Director Anderson commented that the realignment did not require a <br /> significant length of extra line. He stated that the difficulty with the proposed realignment would <br /> be jetting the new lines. <br /> Councilmember Holden questioned the cost of putting in the new lines. <br /> Acting Public Works Director Anderson reported that the City would not bear any of the costs <br /> for the new lines. The request was being made by the property owner and would benefit the <br /> property owner. Therefore, the entire cost of the project would be the responsibility of the <br /> property owner. <br /> Steven Nelson, 3280 Sandeen Road, estimated that the project would cost between $12,000 and <br /> $20,000. He explained that he was interested in selling the house, having it demolished, and <br /> allowing for a new home to be built. <br /> Mayor Grant asked how the City would maintain these lines in the future. <br /> Acting Public Works Director Anderson discussed the access and grading difficulties with the <br /> property. <br /> Mayor Grant inquired how the City would get the sewage to flow away from the lake. <br /> Acting Public Works Director Anderson indicated that there was a ridge on the topography that <br /> would enable the sewage to flow down and then away from the lake. <br /> Councilmember Holden asked if the DNR had any concerns with the proposed realignment. <br />
