RE: ITEMS FOR THE FEBRUARY 2, 1988 COUNCIL MEETING
Authorize Feasibility Report for 1988 Sanitary Sewer Extension,
City Project #181
Staff is requesting that Council authorize a feasibility report to study the
extension of sanitary sewer from Lift Station A, located just west of Hawkins
Pond, to the east to connect with an existing crossing under Shannon Parkway.
The reasons for Staff suggesting this feasibility report take place now are
two -fold:
I. The construction of the Hawkins Pond storm sewer improvement will
disrupt almost the entire area where this sanitary sewer line would more
than likely run.
It certainly would make sense to construct the sanitary sewer at the
same time as the bond improvements are going on. It would save on
restoration cost and possibly installation cost.
2. The 80 acres east of Shannon Parkway has a very good chance of beginning
development this year.
If the 80 acres east of Shannon Parkway does indeed begin developing in
1988, the only way they will be able to get sanitary sewer is by this
line to Lift Station A.
Because of the above two reasons, Staff would recommend that Council authorize a
feasibility report to study this issue and determine estimated cost. Staff has
Put the developer on warning as to a contribution from him to assist the City in
financing a portion of this sewer line because of his requiring a sewer line
prior to the need of the adjacent land owners. Another reason for the developers
contribution is that the City will not be able to assess one half of the cost of
the sanitary sewer line that is adjacent to the ponding easement for Hawkins
Pond.
Because the City would be initiating this project the Council must approve of the
feasibility report by a 4/5 vote. I will be available to answer any questions
Council may have at the February 2, 1988 meeting.
