lift station which is a poor way to do it, and it's expensive. So when we did the calculations of bringing a road all the way to the back of these lots, which is also the back of these lots, we found we could open up six new lots, potentially at least. The reason this one isn't shown is because it's in government ownership - not the city, but other government agencies and they're not in the house building program so they would have no interest in having that lot improved. When we looked at (inaudible) bringing the various utilities down because we would have to loop the water main (inaudible), carrying the storm sewer over a now filled street, tve found it a very expensive proposition - like $12,000 a lot, as I recall. This didn't sound like a money making proposition for anyone. The second alternate would be to try to serve just the northerly lots. Once again looping the water main, bringing the sanitary sewer main across this lower back lot section resulted in high costs. There would be three lots affected, possibly four. Very high cost - in the $12,000 to $13,000 category and we don't feel this is a feasible solution. The third alternative C would be merely to provide the neces, sary road frontage that the code mandates to this lot. In doing so, we would put a pump (inaudible) put some curb and gutter and pave that section and would be providing this to the lot. It would be possible to (inaudible) some day may happen back in this area or this open space on the other side - the county open space owns all the land from here to Lexington. I would not recommend vacating those at this time, but I do recommend the paving of this small portion of roadway which would make this lot then buildable - probably for one lot. r1R. POPOVICHg Mayor, members of the Council. The original matter came in by a petition and in the process of studying it the engineer obviously had to add more to the petitioned area to give you these alternatives. The published cost was $73,812, \}hich is Alternate A which would have ended up with the six lots, or roughly $12,000 assessment per lot. Alternate B which ends up with three or four lots comes to $39,653.00. The last alternate C is for a total cost of $4,080. If you decide to go that route, that would be the total cost of the improvement which would be assessed over a 20 year period with an 8% carrying charge. 2
