2 there would be some minor improvements along the intersection of County Road Band Fulham. As many of you recall, in the early 1970's there was a storm sewer improvement for ~tidland Hills (inaudible). A force main was built from Walsh Lake along this dashed line along Fairways and up Fulham on the (inaudible) where the water goes into a gravity system. None of the areas within this boundary line have been assessed as part of that, or any other storm sewer improvement according to our records. We have some ponding that occurs in a low area identified as 4 and some of this low area (inaudible) particularly in the back yards of the homes and on the golf course. The major problem that occurs is the water reaches this location and there is no way to get the water out. This low area is approximately the same elevation of this pond. (inaudible) if the water would get to this pond (inaudible) you can not take it to the force mains routinely because the force mains are under pressure and if you had an open system connected to the force main you would not be taking the water to the main, you would be pumping the water and it would not go to the corner and, in fact, go to the low area. You would be pumping the water into the low spot. The improvement proposed as a result of the petition would be to intercept the water coming to this location (inaudible) into Fairways Lane where it would join other water that was being intercepted at the intersection, coming down Fairways in the low areas, and the water coming off tl1e road (inaudible) because it does not have adequate ponding without an outlet it would be necessary to build another pipe down to Walsh Lake where it would co-mingle with the other drainage and get pumped back out again to the north. (Inaudible) and take it into the gravity feed. Several different approaches were looked into but due to the . (inaudible) elevation between the various low areas there's just not a good spot to take any of the water to keep it from creating a pond somewhere in that general location. If this project were done, it would require acquiring easements here and along the golf course (inaudible). MR. POPOVICH: The total published cost of this is $156,200 and there are some 57 units of property involved. The total cost per unit is $2,740.35. The city recommends that 25% of it be assessed, or $685.09 per unit to be spread over a period not to exceed 15 years with an interest rate to be determined at the time of the assessment hearing. MAYOR DEMOS: Any writ ten statements? MR. ANDRE: We have a petition from some of the property owners.
