EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ISSUE
Consider options for the proposed extension of salutary sewer service to 13930 South Robert Trail and
provide direction to Staff.
BACKGROUND
Building staff has determined that the property at 13930 South Robert Trail has a non comphant
individual sewer treatment system (ISTS). This is based upon information obtained through the City's
pumping program and inspection. This past spring, the property owner was issued a notice that the ISTS
needed to be brought into comphance with City and MPCA standards. The notice prompted the owner to
request possible extension of City sanitary sewer service to the property from an existing line that crosses
Trunk Highway #3. A sanitary sewer hne exists between the properties at 13898 and 13830 South Robert
Street, and was extended west to serve the Community Center and Armory. Two lots along Trunk
Highway #3, the subject property and the car dealership are the only two of the five developed properties
along Trunk Highway #3 that do not have City samtary sewer service.
Building staff has conducted a visual inspection of the property and determined that there was no surface
discharge that would create an imminent health /safety hazard due to the non compliant system Staff has
mchcated that a new system does not need to be mstalled immediately if there is the future possibility of
City sanitary service m the near term This agreement is also predicated on the property owner agreeing to
a routine pumping schedule to ensure there are no health issues Should the condition on the site worsen,
staff would require immediate installation of a new ISTS system.
The extension of sanitary sewer service to 13930 South Robert Trail appears feasible and could be
completed in two different manners. The issue is whether provision of services to this site is tied to the
GlenRose townhome development project located south of the subject property on the "Sunrise Lumber"
property The GlenRose developer, Dean Johnson, is hoping to obtain approvals vet this year that would
permit installation of utilities this fall to perrriit fall and winter unit construction. It is anticipated that the
G \Sanitary \SewerEatensionSoRobertTradC W SG -15 -05 doc
GlenRose project will require the construction of a lift station and forcemain along Trunk Highway #3
that will connect to the existing sanitary sewer hne that serves the Community Center and Armory. Until
this issue came to light it had been assumed that the forcemain would be located within Trunk Highway
#3 and therefore no easements outside of the GlenRose site would be necessary for utility installation.
The following hsts the two utility options available to the City to serve the 13930 South Robert Trail. The
su.m naves list the advantages and disadvantages with each option.
Option 1
The first option is to consider the two projects separately.
The GlenRose project utilities would include a lift station within the development and a forcemam
along Trunk Highway #3, past the property at 13930 South Robert Trail, connecting to the existing
sanitary sewer line A separate project would then be necessary to extend a gravity sanitary sewer line
south from the existing line to provide service to the property at 13930 South Robert Trail.
In order to accommodate the extension to 13930 South Robert Trail, it would be necessary to acquire
easements from two or three propernes as Staff would also expect to extend sanitary sewer service to
the auto dealer property immediately south of the subject property As always, Staff would attempt to
negotiate the acquisition of necessary easements but if unsuccessful, condemnation of the easements
would be necessary. This project would be a 429 project initiated by Council, as costs associated with
the extension of sanitary sewer to 13930 13940 South Robert Trail would be assessable
The advantage is that the tinung of the improvement project for the GlenRose Development would
not be compromised by the various stages of the 429 process, which requires additional time for the
necessary hearings and easement acquisition Additional time could be required if easement acquisition
cannot be negotiated but rather use of eminent domam becomes necessary.
The disadvantage m this option is that it does not appear to be the most cost effective manner to
provide sanitary sewer service to all of the subject properties and would result m parallel systems.
Option Two
The second option is to consider one combined improvement project to provide sanitary sewer service
to both the GlenRose Development and the property at 13930 South Robert Trail, and also the auto
dealer property.
Under this scenario the City would follow the 429 process as project costs associated with the
extension of sanitary sewer service to the existing properties along Trunk Highway #3 would be
assessable. Again, the project would also require the acqutsiuon of easements from two or three
properties for the extension of a gravity sanitary sewer line south along Trunk Highway #3. Similar to
the above, Staff would attempt to negotiate the acquisition of necessary easements but if unsuccessful,
condemnation of the easements would be necessary.
The advantage to this option is that the project should be more cost effective and would be
constructed in a more efficient manner from an overall system perspective.
The disadvantage to this option is that the infrastructure improvements for the GlenRose
2
Development will most likely be delayed. This delay would be necessary to accommodate the 429
process for pubhc improvements with assessments, a deviation from the standard process for
infrastructure improvements within developments that are privately funded by the developer.
CONCLUSION
The issue of extension of sanitary sewer service to accommodate the property at 13930 South Robert Trail
raises the same pohcy discussion that the Council and Staff have had on several occasions. In this
instance, there are two property owners without services, one of which has a failed system. The issue is
whether the City should facilitate the extension of services to the property, even though it may impact an
additional two property owners due to the need for easements Another question relates to providing
services to other properties, and assessing them, although they do not have a failed system and have not
requested City services If the Council decides to provide service to 13930 South Robert Trail, the utilities
will certainly be extended to serve the car dealership directly south Another issue is whether that property
should pay their proportionate share regardless of whether they would like the services at this tune.
Finally, there is the question of condemnation and whether the Council will consider use of eminent
domain to provide utilities in certain instances such as this even though the affected property owner may
not want the service or need the service at this time.
SUMMARY
Staff will further review the options with Council and is seeking Council direction on how to proceed with
this matter.
