City of Centerville <br /> Council Meeting Minutes <br /> March 26, 2014 <br /> bringing the total cost to approximately $9,942. Administrator Larson stated that at this time a <br /> resident did not have to connect, however, current City Code states that mandatory connection to <br /> municipal services if available would be by December 31, 2021. Administrator Larson stated <br /> that if residents that did not qualify for grant funding desired to connect, they could enter into an <br /> agreement with the City allowing the City to specially assess their property for the connection <br /> over a period of approximately 15 years at 5% interest leaving an annual payment of <br /> approximately $960 per year. <br /> Engineer Statz stated that the Royal Meadows Development was constructed in the early 80's <br /> without municipal water, houses are close together, area streets are in satisfactory condition, <br /> directional boring would provide the best installation of water main to the vicinity with the least <br /> amount of traffic disturbance, tree removal, yard or driveway restoration. Engineer Statz also <br /> stated that all properties will receive a water stub to the property whether or not they desire to <br /> connect at this time, explained property line boundaries, drainage utility easements /right -of- <br /> ways, grouping of service lines, hydrant location, the need for a 6" water main due to looping <br /> and benefits homeowners would receive from strong water pressure for their homes and fighting <br /> fires. <br /> Engineer Statz reiterated that this evenings meeting is an input meeting and not a public hearing <br /> regarding special assessments as individuals are not required to connect at this time and therefor <br /> would not incur a special assessment unless they choose to do so. Both Engineer Statz and <br /> Administrator Larson stated that residents that connected with this project would be required to <br /> seal their wells and that the cost is included in the estimate of assessments forwarded to <br /> residents. Engineer Statz reviewed with residents that the development is within the City's well- <br /> head protection area/plan which provides that unused/ abandoned, due to other available sources <br /> (municipal services) wells be sealed due to potential for contamination and close proximity the <br /> City's water supply well. <br /> Mayor Wilharber questioned whether if one of the residents that had not returned a survey still <br /> had an opportunity to do so. Administrator Larson stated yes, however a deadline for acceptance <br /> would be within the next few weeks. <br /> Mayor Wilharber opened the meeting for public input on the project. <br /> Ms. Melinda Hughes, 7187 West Robin Lane, questioned whether the City would attempt to <br /> protect existing trees and landscaping, location of fire hydrants, whether driveways would be <br /> involved, the projects commencement and notification of same. <br /> Engineer Statz stated that the contractors would do their best to disturb as little as possible such <br /> as existing trees and landscaping, reviewed the location of the proposed fire hydrants and stated <br /> that due to directional drilling there would be minimal, if no disruption of the items that she <br /> questioned. Engineer Statz stated that Lead Project Coordinator, Greg Burmeister would be on <br /> site throughout the project and he would attempt to minimize disruption. Administrator Larson <br /> stated that it is customary to hold neighborhood meetings with residents to obtain input/concerns <br /> and inform them of upcoming stages of the project. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> 113 <br />
