3 We're not saying that's going to happen but we feel it's a much better decision at this point to put the utilities in than it is to tear that street up perhaps within three to five years. If those added utility services are put in, then they would also be assessable although inasmuch as they are not needed by the property at this point, we, as a staff, would probably recommend actual deferment of those assessments until they are used by the property owner. That's a decision for the next hearing if this goes forward. This portion of the project then would result in no assessments to anyone for the paving or the pathway except for the church parcel and the only services that would be assessed are to the extreme easterly lot. The portion of the project that is assessable and does affect many of the parcels, however, is the storm sewer portion. The other improvements either had all of the storm sewer in place or had much of it that could be drained and was relatively small in nature as far as drainage. In order to construct C-2, however, the entire westerly portion from Pascal to Snelling currently is without drainage. It simply runs on the road and wherever it can go to. We feel this is one of the factors that has accelerated the deterioration of the roadway. It's a flat roadway and the water sets and goes down under - the road gets wet in the summer and (inaudible) and thaws. We feel very strongly that there's a definite strong need to have a storm sewer system to properly drain that roadway. We're proposing to build that from Pascal to where the state project begins. The state, as part of their project, will continue that storm system, pick up their own drainage and take it down as what's shown as green in this slide to the pond in the Coventry area and into an outlet there. This will be discussed in another meeting before the Council in the future. Many of the side streets - residential streets immediately north, however, drain southerly so that they are also bringing water down to C-2 which compounds the problem. Lydia Street is roughly (inaudible) which is just a little ways north of where the boundary is and I will say everything within this solid black line is proposed to be assessed as part of this project- because that's where our preliminary investigations sh9w the break point is between water that flows north and water that flows south and the system used in Roseville is that if you have water that comes down to a facility then you're contributing to the problem. In a like manner, it's felt fair that you contribute some of the monetary expense. We're proposing to extend storm sewers part way up each of these four roadways and intercept the water corning down these roads with catch basins. On those roads we would only be con- structing on only one side of the road. We would be replacing any pavement that has to be removed as part of this work, again, with
