~ ~ . Extract of Minutes March 14, 1983 Page 5 MAYOR WOODBURN: I'm concerned about how land will be developed west of the sewer line. I see you propose to develop this in one or two pieces at most. Mr. Christoffersen, will the western 250' of the Reiling property have to be pumped into sewer? DONALD CHRISTOFFERSEN: It would depend on what develops in the area; property is high along the existing sewer line; the ele- vations here are 936.7, 933.6, 935.7, 935.1, 937.2 varies about 4' at most; there is a saddle on the property (inaudible) GEORGE REILING: There is 900' between Nielsen and mine. Force main proposed is about 250' on my property. We'd be assessed for 250' we cannot use. We don't need the sewer, and we don't want it. COUNCILMAN MC ALLISTER: front footage assessment assessed at this time? The Reiling property has had no previous for sanitary sewer? (inaudible) can it THOMAS DEANS: I am not aware of previous assessment or City assessment practices, but assessments should be determined at the assessment hearing. (Some inaudible discussion). MAYOR WOODBURN: If there are no additional comments, I will close the public hearing at 8:23 p.m. In discussion, Christiansen said he tends to discount the sketch plan for development of the Reiling property at this time; feels there appears to be some benefit to the property for at least 650' . Mulcahy said he feels the entire assessment of $19,000 to the Nielsen property seems appropriate; cost seems manageable for the development; leaves the potential for development of the Reiling property clear. Mulcahy said he is also thinking of a relatively short payoff; would like to see it all paid in five years or less. Woodburn said he feels there is some benefit to the Reiling prop- erty; has had no frontage assessments to date; should be of bene- fit to both Reiling and Nielsen properties. McAllister said she feels the Reiling property does not indicate a "need" at this point; agrees with Mulcahy. Mulcahy noted that in order to adopt a resolution ordering the construction of Improvement No. SS 83-2, four votes are needed. Woodburn said he feels a combination is preferable; sug@ested that Council may wish to continue its deliberation until there is a full five. member Council. Christiansen moved to table the deliberstions until the March 28th Council meeting. Motion was seconded by Mulcahy and carried unanimoUSly.
