. Extract of Minutes March 14, 1983 Page 2 sewer at minimum grade can only be extended to the west about 650 feet. Beyond this point the sewer would not have sufficient cover and would have to be pumped. We have investigated two options: one is to construct gravity sanitary sewer westerly along the north r.o.w. of Red Fox Road approximately 650' or so to a point where we can get 6 or 7 feet of cover; from this point on we propose force main service for about 310 feet to some type of interior pumping station, probably within the building; sewage would be held in a holding tank until they get a sufficient amount of water in the tank, and it would then be pumped out from the building within the site to. the force ~ main to a point where it can be handled by gravity. The second option is relatively simple; it is simply to construct a force main all the way to the existing sanitary sewer. The advantage of option one over option two is the fact that if the development of the Reiling property at the west end is similar to the development on the east end, there would be some sewer available along Red Fox Road. Either option is feasible from an engineering standpoint. Thomss Deans, I believe will explain the f;bnancing. MAYOR WOODBURN: topography of the option? Before we get to that point, will you review the land in this area and the cost estimates of each DONALD CHRISTOFFERSEN: The lay of the land falls off in this direction, ~n other words from this high elevation to a low eleva- tion here. I believe it does rise again just around this corner. This portion slopes toward th~ road, but the back portion slopes away. It has been graded; is hard to determine, but it generally slopes away. According to the contour map, it does slope away to the north. The total estimated costs of option one is $24,000 and option two is $19,300. I'll be happy to answer any other questions you might have. MAYOR WOODBURN: Perhaps at this time we'll go on to Thomas Deans to explain financing. There will be time for more questiona later on, I'm sure. ~ THOMAS DEANS: Mayor and members of the Council. The improvement was petitioned for by Mr. Nielsen. His property does not comprise over 35% of the affected property; thus, improvement will be con- sidered Council initiated, and we will need a 4/5 majority. Again, it is pointed out that there are two options as to how it is to be done. The first option is $24,000. His recommendation would be a combination of a footage assessment at $16.18/foot estimated now, between the Reiling property and the Nielsen prop- erty and then a force main service charge of $5600. Wherein option two would entirely be a force main service charge of $19,300 approximately at this point. This would be assessed over what- ever priod of time you determine.
