Brotzler, P.E., City Engineer Kim Lindquist, Community Development Director AGErIM 9. 2 ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit APPROVED BY: RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion Only 4 ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL City Council Work Session: June 15, 2005 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. 3 PROPERTY ID NUMBER 34. 02010 -010 -B0 2005 ESTIMATED MARKET VALUES (PAYABLE 2006) FEE OWNER PROPERTY ADDRESS 13930 ROBERT TR S ROSEMOUNT MN 55068 PAYABLE 2005 TAXES NET TAX SPECIAL ASSESSMEN TOTAL TAX 8 SA MICHAEL 8 MERLA PETERS 13930 ROBERT TR 5 ROSEMOUNT MN 55068 -3437 PAYABLE 2006 ASMNT USAGE RESIDENTIAL 4X75 7ZVb SFWFe trim ARmot7 ThPErTrES O /Q ffAVE S,bN$TAt y sewac sta' cE FXZST. ,,U6 ISIVE •'Wary M1 PON rarlrA4 ZJ/S Ago /445 voarE,D Mow i'E aniNs .142ND_eT_N 1 )TE Dimensions rounded to nearest loot SITE MAP LAND BUILDING TOTAL LAST QUALIFIED SALE DATE 11/1997 AMOUN pyngnl 2005, Dakota County is drawing Is neither a legally recorded map nor a survey and is not Intended 10 be used as one is drawing is a compuation of records Information and data located in various my county, and to offices and other sources arecling the area showy. and Is to be used /or reference purposes y Dakota County Is not responsible fo any Inaccuracies herein contained If discrepancies are nd, please contact Dakota County Survey and Land Information Department p Date June 7, 2005 Parcels Updated 5/12/2005 Aenal Pnolography 2004 LOT SIZE (EXCLUDES ROAD EASEMENTS) 30,261 SO FT SCHOOL DISTRICT 196 0 69 ACRES LOCATION SW 1/4 SE1 /4 SECTION 20- 115 -19 PAYABLE 2006 HOMESTEAD STATUS FULL HOMESTEAD WATERSHED DISTRICT VERMILLION RIVER 2005 BUILDING INFORMATION (PAYABLE 2006) TYPE S FAM RES YEAR BUILT 1956 ARCH /STYLE ONE STORY FOUNDATION 50 FT 1144 FINISHED SO FT 1144 BEDROOMS 3 BATHS 1 FRAME WOOD GARAGE SC) FT 720 OTHER GARAGE MISC BLDG aas aai DeVeLoPotrIT PLAT NAME TAX DESCRIPTION i fOWER_138TH ST H._ 1 i 6.
