He stated the total project cost would be approximately $91,300, paid for with a combination of the City's water utility fund and property assessments. Mr. Stonehouse stated the cost of the watermain installation is estimated to be $28.60 per front foot. He stated it was proposed at the informational meeting that assessments be calculated as if both sides of the street were being assessed, therefore reducing the cost to $22.50 per front foot or $4,100 per lot. Mr. Stonehouse stated the work is proposed to correspond with the Ramsey County resurfacing project of Old Highway 10. He stated the County also wants to pave four feet beyond the existing pavement edge for shoulders. He stated there is sufficient room in the right-of-way to do this. He has also determined that the water line will be ten feet closer to the homes than originally proposed. This is due to the location of the existing sanitary sewer line. He stated that sod will be placed over the areas once construction is complete. Mr. Stonehouse stated if the project is approved, plans and specifications would be determined by June 6th, bidding beginning on July 8th, construction beginning July 15th, with completion scheduled by August 16th. Mayor Probst verified that publication of the public hearing occurred. He also eXplained that the resolution before the Council was ordering the improvement and preparation of plans and specifications for the watermain project, and that assessments would be due and payable when individual homes are connected. He stated another public hearing would be scheduled for the assessment portion of the project, but this hearing has not been established yet. Mr. John Grudnoske, 4439 Highway 10, inquired about the trail. Mr. Stonehouse replied that the four-foot paved shoulder will be striped up to the lawn, and is not a trail, only a shoulder. Mr. Gerald Grudnoske, 4405 Highway 10, inquired about the proposed trail. Mayor Probst replied that the trail is a long-term project and no funding is available now to complete it. Ms. Jeanne Winiecki, 4471 Highway 10, inquired if the new ten-foot setback included for the watermain would affect the utility poles. Mr. Stonehouse replied that the utility poles would either be supported or moved, but the utilities would not be placed underground. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Probst closed the public hearing at 7:43 p.m.
