" It's the shallowest at the south end of your property. As far as individual property, if it can possibly be worked out, I think it would be the intention and desire to fit into that. GEORGE WINIECKI: Along the southerly edge, granted, it would be easier for them to put it in, but again all the burden of the assessment is pushed over on that piece of property. I guess what I want made clear is that the north is gaining from something on that's going to the southern part of the Village. You've got to be fair in what the costs should be to the property owners. MAYOR WOODBURN: I can assure you that fair is what we want to be. I know you don't mean that we aren't, but none-the-less that too is why we are listening here, to see what can be done., . MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: There is obviously a two-sided frontage on the north; there is only one-sided on the south. In either case the frontage would be essentially assessed against your property. I suspect it would be about the same, whether it is at the north or the south. Obviously, the total cost of the improvement has something to do with the rate. GEORGE WINIECKI: I'm looking at too - you have two big easements running down that north and south lines of the property. MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: As I recall, there is a 20' easement on the north. GEORGE WINIECKI: Right down the center, 10 on each side. MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: If there were something built to the south, and the sewer was constructed to the south, I would assume that there would be a 20' - 3D' easement over to that sewer, where- ever it might be. GEORGE WINIECKI: Is there another alternative? MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: Not that I know of. Like 1 say we did investigate going to the south. There was the other alternative of leaving the lift station and constructing less shallow sewers, pumping across the other direction to the west, but by the time you put sewers and feeding back gravity sewers to get back to the lift station, the lift station operation over a period of time it was found to be more economical to spend the capital up front and get rid of the long-time operation of the one lift station because they are expensive to operate. MAYOR WOODBURN: The Council has been working on this with Mr. Christoffersen 3 to 5 years, I think; it feels like. I don't know exactly how long, but we have had many reports on it and finally ordered the feasibility study on this north section be- cause it turned out to be the best - cheapest. Any further comments? . 7
