PUBLIC HEARING – 7:00 P.M. 3. FARVIEW NEIGHBORHOOD SANITARY SEWER PROJECT a. ORDER PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS – RESOLUTION NO. 5534 White opened the public hearing at 7:06 p.m. Moorse explained the public hearing relates to the Farview neighborhood sanitary sewer project. A feasibility study has been completed and a meeting with the neighborhood was held. The City received a petition where the vast majority of the residents in the area have indicated support of the project. If positive public comments are received tonight at the public hearing, it would be Staff’s recommendation that the Council approve preparation of the plans and specifications for bid. Kellogg stated the one item that should be determined if the City elects to approve preparation of the plans and specifications is the number of properties that would be included in this project. Kellogg illustrated the service area on the overhead, noting that two additional properties on Fox Street have indicated an interest in being included in this project. The estimated cost per unit is approximately $8500, although the cost may decrease slightly if the two additional properties are included. Jerry Kemp, 2800 Farview Lane, stated with respect to the cost, the original feasibility report indicated the sewer would run up to Fox Street along Farview. To access the one property to the northwest, the sewer line would need to be extended, which would raise the cost slightly, but with the addition of the two properties, the cost would probably remain the same. _____________________________________________________________________________________ PAGE 1 of 10 Item #04 - CC Agenda - 11/27/06 Approval of Council Meeting Minutes 11/27/06 [Page 1 of 10]
