3 COUNCILMAN CURLEY: How do those people get out at the vacant lot on the north side? MR. HONCHELL: Right now they could build a house here and get to Western Avenue, but they have no sewer or water so it's unbuildable. This doesn't show it too well, but I guess it goes to here. This would be the side lot, this is the frontage and the lot line is (inaudible) through here, so it's a rather typical lot due to the fact that these three lots have legally been combined into one large lot. MAYOR DEMOS: Are Lots 19 and 20 combined into one? MR. STRONG: Yes. MR. POPOVICH: The total published, anticipated cost of this improvement is $66,281. As you know, that's divided into the sewer mains which cost approximately $10,200. With 100% assess- ment that would be $2.68 a foot. Sanitary sewer services which would be lOO% assessed are $409 each. Watermains at $6,329, if assessed lOOt would be $16.70 a foot. Water services are $289.81 each. On street, curb and gutter the cost is $47,233, which is part of the total published cost. The estimated front foot cost for street is $92.62 a foot, and if only 25% is assessed, that would be $23.15. The total amount that would be assessed for all of the improvements is $ll,806.50, and $35,427 would be spread by general taxes, and the matters I mentioned relating to the other improvements so far as bid letting and bonds are equally applicable on this improvement as well. MR. ANDRE: We have not received any written communications. MAYOR DEMOS: I will open the hearing to the public, and ask that each speaker come to the microphone and give your street address. MR. EDWARD WIDERSKI, 386 Wagner: I'm the one on the south side of that. I owned it completely all the way down where I had water and sewer all the way to the property line when they bought that land from me. MAYOR DEMOS: You mean Ramsey County. MR. WIDERSKI: Yes. I had three lots planned and I had the water and sewer to the property line. They tell me I can't build or do anything unless I do something new. At the first couple of meetings that first cul-de-sac would cost around $2,500 and it would be up to about four people to pay for it, so that's not too bad, and the other one should run (inaudible), but now I have the final figures on it and I couldn't afford to have anything like that. That's beyond me, but I don't see why I can't build on this end of the cul-de-sac here. I can connect right to that sewer and water line there. What's the Objection against that?
