Engineer Statz stated that they are willing to work <br /> with residents that will be receiving a raingarden on their property regarding (ability to access <br /> rear yard, recommended plantings if desired and paid for by the homeowner, etc.). <br /> Engineer Statz stated that the elevation of the new roadway would better than the existing <br /> roadway, additional catch basins would be installed and that the City would work with him <br /> regarding the curbing and his existing driveway in attempt to fulfill the City's need and his <br /> needs. <br /> Engineer Statz stated that it is most economical that a watermain be installed at the same time as <br /> the Type I improvements. This improvement would be outside of this assessment hearing <br /> process, if a property owner chooses to connect to those services in conjunction with this project <br /> it would allow them the ability to take advantage of the assessment process for those services and <br /> utilize the City's contractor potentially providing a cost savings to them. Engineer Statz stated <br /> that an Assessment Right to Appeal Waiver would need to be granted by the property owner <br /> requesting connection and all associated assessments. Engineer Statz also stated that this <br /> assessment would bring the water service from the right of way into the home. One (1) hose bib <br /> or outside facet would be allowed unless the homeowner desired for the well to be abandoned at <br /> an additional cost. Engineer Statz stated that the contractor is willing to bore the water line <br /> which will provide minimal disturbance to yards versus connection at a later date. <br /> Discussion was had regarding policies currently in place for connection versus future Council's <br /> desires for possible extension of the connection deadline date. <br /> Finance Director Jeziorski reviewed the assessment, interest rate (4 %), length of the assessment <br /> for the Type I (15 years) and Type 11 (10 years) and bonding amount. <br /> Legal Counsel Glaser stated that resident input would be kept at five (5) minutes, requested that <br /> those that desired to speak come forward to the podium and sign in.
