. '^ , f . By the way, this plat is at the preliminary stages right now and is before the Council for approval. It starts at the south end of the cul-de-sac street and goes northerly to the north boundary line. This particular reach of sanitary sewer has not been constructed at this time. The reason for that not being constructed - at one time the developer of the Royal . Hills plat had a cul-de-sac street coming in this direction on one of their preliminary plats, and had planned for the sani- tarysewer to drain down the cul-de-sac and out in this direc- tion. That was all the information that was available at the time this plat was - at the time the plans and specifications were approved for this plat. Therefore, this sanitary sewer was not constructed. The developer of the Royal~ Hills plat is making arrangements to have this little connecting link constructed this summer. Watermain consists of a watermain at the south end of the cul-de-sac street, running northerly and connecting into existing watermain on the Briarknoll plat. The Briarknoll developers have constructed the watermain to the south line. Watermain also extends easterly along Royal Lane to the park area, down along through the park and back to Floral Drive. The purpose of this particular watermain in this area is to complete a looping system which eliminates long, dead-end watermains, both along Norma Avenue and Floral Drive. Storm sewer is proposed to be extended to the low area in the park to drain the park and drain westerly to the inter- section of Norma Avenue and Royal Lane and then westerly out and down the steep hillside to the ditch along Highway 10 and into a low area which eventually reaches a storm water deten- tion basin to the north of Briarknoll. . There are two alternatives for streets. The basic con- cept for streets, obviously, in the Royal Hill Subdivision, is north-south for Norma Avenue and east-west for Royal Lane. Where the alternatives come into play is whether or not to build a cul-de-sac street or to build a through street down to Floral Drive. The Council is considering either one alternative or the other. The streets will be standard bit~nous surfaced streets with concrete curb and gutter, 34 feet wide with a gravel base. I believe that completes this presentation. MR. POPOVICH: Mayor and members of the Council, the total published cost of this improvement was $247,lOO. It was petitioned for by the developers of Royal Hills, which is in excess of 35% of the affected property owners. The base plan of the project, including sanitary Sewer, watermain, storm drainage and streets, totals the high figure of $247,100. The alternate plan, with the cul-de-sac, would reduce that cost to $228,700, according to the engineer's report. I should point out that on page 6 of his feasibility report, he in- cludes capitalized interest for only six months. That is going to have to be changed to add an additional six months 2
