RO L IIIIIIIIINI I C'+ REALTY, INC. March 7, 1997 James March City Administrator 1880 Main Street Centerville, MN 55038 RE: Lakeland Hills Dear Mr, March, Mayor Withather and City Council Members Powers - Rasmussen, Brenner, Buckbee and Helmbrecht: As we proceed into the final design phase of Lakeland Hills, it is important for our Company to realize the financial cornminnents to the project. Our Company has agreed to contribute dollars towards the City project to loop the water main north along Centerville Road and Peltier Lake Drive to Mill Road. These dollars are 10 lower the cost of the pudic improvement in lieu of our cost to loop the water ?:Lain ea'terly across Clearwater Creek to Clear Ridge Street. Your consulting engineer has estimated the cost to construct a water pipe across the creek and to purchase the necessary utility easement to be between $31,400 and $38,000 dollars. The estimate did not include any cost for administration, legal or engineering design services. At this tune, Royal Oaks Realty is willing to contribute an amount of $50,000.00 towards the Suture water main loop. This: dollar arnount is more than what is needed at this time for our completion of a creek crossing project. We also request the issue of sidewalks to he resolved. It i.s our opinion that sidewalks are not needed in Lakeland Hills. People do not want the maintenance responsibility that conies with having a sidewalk in front of their home, The streets in Lakeland Hills are local, residential streets that will carry less than 500 average daily trips per day. The traffic does not warrant sidewalks. The City ordinances do not require sidewalks. No other local residential streets have sidewalks, including the neighborhood immediately to the north. Royal Oaks Realty is requesting the City Council to uniformly apply the ordinance on sidewalks to Lakeland Hills. 4190 l- eungton Avenue • $hore.ie,.
