Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br />Public Services Director's Report <br />Item Description: Request for Sanitary Sewer 701 Dickey Lake Drive <br />This is a vacant lot in the Dickey Lake Drive subdivision that has never been built on. This <br />subdivision was plated in the 1980's. Since the wetland regulations have changed after this lot was <br />platted, a wetland delineation was recently completed and approved by the Minnehaha Creek <br />Watershed District. This lot is 2.40 acres in size with 0.15 acres of wetland and is confonnance with <br />the 2.0 acres of dry buildable land zoning requirement. There are no suitable septic sites, on tliis <br />property, that conform to the current septic regulations, so the provision of sewer service for this lot <br />has been requested. This area was added to the MUSA in the City’s recently approved yea; 2000 to <br />2020 Community Management Plan and is eligible for sewer ser\'ice with the property responsible <br />for payment of the total cost for the utility extension. <br />Sewering of this lot will require a City project for the installation of500 ’ of 8” diameter gravity from <br />the existing sewer on the west side of Willow Drive to the eastern side of the lot. We are <br />recommending that the sewer be Jacked or directionally bored under Willow Drive in order to <br />maintain trafllc on Willow Drive. The sewer will be installed in the street right of way on the north <br />side of Dickey Lake Drive. The estimated cost for this sew er c.xtcnsion is $61,000, and the property <br />owner will need to sign an assessment waiver requesting to be assessed for the total cost of this <br />project before installation of the sewer is completed. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to approve the provision of sanitary' sewer service to 701 Dickey Lake Drive contingent on <br />the property owner signing an assessment waver agreeing to be assessed for tlic total project costs for <br />a City project to extend sewer to the parcel, with the sewer under Willow Drive to be jacked or <br />directionally bored in order to maintain tralTic flow on Willow Drive.
