� w . . , ` � � REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: October 11, 1999 ITEM NO.: Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: Name Gregory A. Gappa Engineer's Report Title Director of Public Services Item Description: Request for Sanitary Sewer 480 Russell Avenue We have received a request from the property owner at 480 Russell Avenue for connection to sanitary sewer. This properry is located adjacent to the northeast comer of the Minnetonka Bluffs sewer project. There is an existing sewer in Russell Avenue at the southwest corner of the property. This property is an existing developed lot with a noncompliant septic system. There are no septic sites available on the property, as the house is located on a hill surrounded by steep slopes. This properry meets the criteria for use of one of the 50 sewer units available from the 1996 MUSA expansions comprehensive plan amendment. The 1999 connection charge for hookup to the Minnetonka Bluffs sewer project is $10,930. There are two possible options available for sewer connection. One option would be for connection to the property at the southeast corner, and installation of a sewer service through the southern portion of the property. The other option would be to extend the sewer north on Russell Avenue to the property line. This would require extension of an 8" sewer line and a manhole at the end of the public sewer. We are recommending that City Engineer approval be required for sewer connection plans and that construction inspection be required for any work in the public right of way. The property owner will be responsible for all costs associated with the sewer connection. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to approve use of one sewer unit for connection of 480 Russell Avenue to sanitary sewer with the property owner responsible for all costs associated with hookup, including the connection fee for the Minnetonka Bluffs sewer project, and City Engineer plan approval required.
