<br /> <br />'Established" 1857 <br /> <br />1880 'Main Street, Centervi[(e, ?o1:N 55038 <br />651-429-3232 or rr.u:. 651-429-8629 <br /> <br />July 21, 2006 <br /> <br />Memo to Council: <br /> <br />The well serving the property at 7085 Progress Road has failed. The owner, Paul Montain <br />is proposing to replace the well. The property is located about 200 feet from city <br />watermain at the comer of Progress and Main Street. Since the well failed, the property <br />is temporarily connected to water from an adjoining property. The property urgently <br />needs either city water service or to replace the well. <br /> <br />Due to the downtown redevelopment plan, and the uncertainty over when and how this <br />property will be ultimately be used, it may be appropriate to consider allowing the <br />temporary investment in the well. Further, the City is pursuing grant programs for <br />infrastructure needed in the downtown and those programs will not pay retroactively for <br />any work completed before a grant is approved. The property owner is willing to sign an <br />agreement acknowledging that he well is a temporary solution and agreeing to be <br />assessed when the watermain would be installed. For these reasons, I would recommend <br />that the property owner be allowed to construct the well, conditioned upon execution of <br />an agreement recognizing the temporary nature of the private well. <br /> <br />Dallas Larson, Administrator <br /> <br />94~ <br />
