5 Area E is over near Hamline and would consist of two pieces of pipe, one coming along Lydia, picking up the intersections; the second picking up the water in front of the school board property which I am sure you have seen under several feet of water; picking up the intersection of Millwood at Hamline, Sheldon and Millwood and Albert and Millwood. The last piece is a little section of F (inaudible) to put a small portion of pipe to pick up the low areas that exist immediately on the east side of Hamline and stand in the driveways at that location because there are no facilities to carry them to the north. We feel this work can be done so it doesn't interfe~with generally getting to and from the homes. We feel it would not have any impact on any tree or natural vegetation, and that it is a good project for the overall neighborhood and for the roadway system. MR. POPOVICH: This improvement had a published cost of $179,880 which was a typographical error, and that is the reason we're holding an informational hearing. The cost is $646,625. The next two improvements - 80-18 and 80-29 tie into this and would be considered in the light of what eventually happens to this particular improvement. The $646,000 includes the restoration of Lydia Avenue and if that were done the total estimated cost per unit would be $2,222. Based on the 25% rate that's being recommended, it would come to $555.52 per lot which, of course, would be spread over a period not to exceed 15 years at one-fifteenth of $555 paid each year together with accrued interest. If Lydia is not repaired, the storm sewer portion is $560,968. Then the cost is reduced to $1,927 per unit and at the 25% rate that would be assessed with the City picking up the other 75%, it would be $481.93 per unit divided by 15 years, or one-fifte'enth of that each year together with the interest carrying charge. The Council may wish to hear from the people tonight as to how they feel and we will move to continue the hearing to January 26, and the other two improvements that tie into this, we can hear those tonight and lay those over, or whatever the Council may decide at that time. MR. HONCHELL: believe Mr. Popovich Just for a point of clarification, I had the two numbers (inaudible) MR. POPOVICH: I said that. MR. HONCHELL: I thought I heard it the other way. MAYOR DEMOS: Any written statements? MR. ANDRE: We have four letters in opposition to the project, one from 1379 Clarmar, 1389 Clarmar, 1447 Lydia, and 1485 Lydia. MAYOR DEMOS: At this time I would like to open the hearing to the public and ask - this is an informational meeting - and
