REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />COUNCIL MPirriNQ <br />M 1 2 1999 <br />DATE; <br />ITEM NO.: j <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Gregor> A. Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Engineer’s Report <br />Item Description: Public Hearing for Fox Ridge Sewer Project <br />The Fox Ridge neighborhood adjacent to Brown Road South was included in the recent MUSA <br />expansions for sewer hot spots. We have had a neighborhood meeting with the project area residents <br />to discuss this project. Two options were presented to the residents. A gravity sewer option with <br />a municipal lift station at an estimated per unit cost of $33,800. The other option presented was a <br />pressure system in which each property would own and opeiate their jwti residential grinder station. <br />The estimated unit cost for this option is $21,100 which includes a $4,500 allowance for residents <br />to purchase their own grinder station. <br />We have discussed this project with the City of Long Lake staff and Met ro Council Eiivironmental <br />Services staff. The most cost effective solution is to pump the waste water north along Brown Road <br />to the Long Lake sewer system at the Brown Road/Watertown Road intersection. Both Long Lake <br />and MCES staff are agreeable with this option. This project is planned for year 2000 construction <br />and could be completed under one contract with the Weber Hills project. Project surv'eying and <br />design can be completed this year for a winter 2000 bid opening and assessment hearing. <br />The project area residents have submitted a petition requesting that the '’ity move forward with this <br />project. There are several residents along Brown Road north of the pre 't that will be adjacent to <br />the new force main that have expressed an interest in obtaining sewer. ^se properties are not in <br />the MUSA. The current City policy is to allow use of the 50 additional sev r units if the following <br />three criteria are met: <br />1. Existing residential development. <br />2. Non-conforming septic syi-tem. <br />3. No replacement septic sites available. <br />Our recommendation is for Council approval of the attached resolution ordering the preparation of <br />plans and specifications for the Fox Ridge Sewer project. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Approval of resolution ordering preparation of plans and specifications for the installation of <br />municipal sanitary sew'er to serve the Fox Ridge area.
