This level is likely to be somewhere around the ordinary high water mark. <br /> <br />Pumping Route: The water would be pumped to Valentine Lake via a storm sewer pipe <br />extended to the existing storm sewer through the Guidant property. This is illustrated as <br />alternative #2 on the attached map. <br /> <br />Financing: The project cost is estimated to cost approximately $70,000 once construction, <br />legal, and engineering fees are accounted for. The preliminary financing proposal calls for a <br />SO/50 cost split between the City and residents living directly adjacent to Karth Lake. To finance <br />the residents' portion ofthe project, it would be necessary to create a Lake ImprovementDistrict <br />prior to the project proceeding. Once the Lake Improvement District was created, the cost of the <br />project would be assessed to the Lake Improvement District (those members living directly <br />adjacent to Karth Lake). For the overall project, the cost is estimated to be $745 per household. <br /> <br />Prior to the creation of a Lake Improvement District and any assessments, a public hearing <br />would be required. The City Council will consider this proposal at their July 28th, 2003 <br />meeting. The meeting begins at 7:00 pm. If you should have any questions, please feel free to <br />attend the meeting or contact me by phone at 651-634-5133, by fax at 651-634-5137, or by <br />e-mail attom.mooreralci.arden-hills.nm.us. Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> <br /> <br />d.~ <br /> <br />Thomas J. Moore <br />Operations & Maintenance Director <br /> <br />City of Arden HiDs . 1245 West Highway 96 .
