the rear, to make water available in the event this gets split off sometime in the future, to allow for potential future development of this now vacant piece of property owned by Williams Brothers, and if not developed as a single site all by itself, if they ever expand (inaudible) it's also going to supply water in case there's ever another fire in that direction. Which leads me to the rest of the rationale as to why this should be built. We had a master water plan done, I believe, in 1976. At that point, one of the locations strongly recommended for looping, or connecting the watermains, was here at the extreme end of the City. Right now we have a 12 inch line that comes along County Road C and stops right there. We also have a 12 inch line on County Road C that crosses the road and goes around into the corner, but again has only small lines tied to it. It would be very desirable in the way of fire fightin~ for the entire western area of the City to connect this with a 12 inch line. Now, this is larger than these parcels need. There- fore, in the study, we recommended that that cost be prorated as against what they would have to pay just for their own parcel. Mr. Popovich will be talking more about proposed assessments in the next few minutes. We would say that even if this is not acquired that we would recommend the construction of that watermain and as M & M developed and the easement was agreed to for the construction of this watermain along their property and then once we get to Highway 88 it would go in the trunk line property all the way to County Road C-2. Again, we strongly recommend the construction of that watermain as well. I would say in conclusion that you would probably be well advised to somehow either obtain some feedback from Mr. and Mrs. Marabella or, at the minimum, to put a condition on any approval of the street you have that we would reach cost figures on acquiring easements for the roadway that would be in keeping with what is appropriate for the value received from the rest of the property and that there be some time limit for reaching a mutual agreement. If we simply can't reach a mutual agreement and the costs get too exorbitant, then one has to wonder about the value of the project. So again, if you would consider as a condition as putting a time limit on acquiring that land, I guess that would be my recommendation if you go forward. COUNCILMAN KEHR: Mr. Honchell, I would like to ask you a question (inaudible). You indicated that you wanted to put a cul-de-sac in there and that that cul-de-sac was going to be just a little longer than the standard cul-de-sac that we put in Roseville. MR. HONCHELL: What this shows in the estimate is temporarily until this can be concluded, either up or down (inaudible) we included costs of this with the cul-de-sac. Yes, this is considerably longer than the 600 feet that it calls for in the standard. presumably this might be a year or it might be some (inaudible) before that's connected to the St. Anthony piece. 6
