cnuM/^n mpetinG JUN 1 4 1999 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Cl IY OHONO DATE: June 8, 1999 ITEM NO,= /3 Department Approval: Name Gregory A. Gappa Title Director of Public Services Administrator Reviewed: / Asenda Section: Engineer’s Report Item Description: Schedule Public Hearing for Fox Ridge Sewer Project The Fox Ridge neighborhood adjacent to Brown Road South was included in the recent MUSA expansions for sewer hot spots. We have had a neighborhood meeting with the project area residents to discuss this project. Two options were presented to the residents. A gravity sewer option with a municipal lift station at an estimated per unit cost of $33,800. The other option presented was a pressure system in which each property would own and operate their own residential grinder station. The estimated unit cost for this option is $21,100 which includes a $4,500 allowance for residents to purchase their own grinder station. We have discussed this project with the City of Long Lake staff and Metro Council Environmental Services staff. The most cost effective solution is to pump the waste water north along Brown Road to the Long Lake sewer system at the Brown RoadAVatertown Road intersection. Both Long Lake and MCES staff are agreeable with this option. This project is planned for year 2000 construction and could be completed under one contract with the Webber Hills project. Project surveying and design can be completed this year for a winter 2000 bid opening and assessment hearing. \ . The project area residents have sifbmitted a petition requesting that the City move forward with this project. There are also several residents along Brown Road north of the project that will be adjacent to the new force main that have expressed an interest in obtaining sewer. These properties are not in the MUSA. The current City policy is to allow use of the 50 additional sewer units if the following three criteria are met: 1. Existing residential development. 2. Non-conforming septic system. 3. No replacement septic sites available. Our recommendation is for Council approval of the attached resolutions ordering the preparation and acceptance of the feasibility study and scheduling a public hearing at the regularly scheduled Council meeting on July 12th. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of resolution ordering preparation of a feasibility report for the installation of municipal sanitary sewer to serve the Fox Ridge area. Approval of resolution receiving report and calling hearing on the Fox Ridge area sanitary sewer improvement.
