Mayor and City Council July 12, 1993 Page 2 . To the extent that Mr. Hanson wants to run a sanitary sewer line along the southerly portion of the Hanson orooertv to connett to existing sanitary sewer improvements located on .Ilia property, my clients do not object, We understand that the Hanson property has already been subdivided and platted, and presumably the subdivision approval was given with full knOWledge by the City and Mr, Hanson that he would have to make the sanitary sewer hookups on his own property. To the extent that Mr, Hanson would like this hook-up to occur in the near future so that he can sell his lots, it is imperative that he do it on his own property. To the extent that the hook-up is altered to cross-over the Bachman! Andersen property, such hook-ups will be contested and will delay if not eliminate any proposed improvements on the Bachman property . 2. There is no need for the City to incur additional sewer improvements. ~ The simple fact of the matter is that the Hanson property. the Bachman property, and the Andersen property all have adequate sanitary sewer improvements to halldIe their existing lots And even potential or existing subdIvisions thereof. There is no need for the City to incur additional costs al its expense, or the expense of neighbors. for unneeded and unwanted improvements. 3. An)' proposed condemnation for a S81litar)' sewer easement will be opposed by my clients. My clients will not agree to a negotiated sale of any easements to the City for the needless purposes of the proposed sanitary sewer improvements. The acquisition of any such easementS would, therefore. have to take place by condemnation, and my clients intend to contest any such proceeding and argue that the improvements fail to have any "public pUlpose" . 4. The sanitary sewer improvements could end up costing the City of Arden Hills tens of thousands "of dollars. Although we have not yet obtained a copy of the feasibility study. we reviewed it quickly last Friday. Our reading of that feasibility study indicates that the total cost of improvements could well be in excess of $50,000. not merely the $8,000 as set forth in the . Notice.
