MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 23, 1995 <br />(#7 - Kelly Avenue Drainage - Continued) <br />Option E would use a 6" pipeline, which is less than the 18" stonn sewer. The lift station <br />would cost $13,000, and the City would be able to salvage a pump Irom an existing lift <br />station. This piping would cause little disruption as h can be trenched in. No easements <br />would be required. <br />Moorse noted that the $56,000 does include legal administrative, and engineering costs. <br />Normal costs have been included for a total of $56,000+$58,000=$114,000, for lift <br />station and raising of Kelly Avenue. <br />Jabbour questioned why the pe:t material would be left under the road. Gustafson said <br />the e.\isting line would be replaced with a joint with a locked restraint that can take the <br />settlement caused by the peat. If the sanitary sewer is found to be in good condition, it <br />can possibly remain in place. The road can still be raised without replacing the sanitary <br />sewer line. The soil engineer estimated 2" of settlement in the foture and 3" with raising <br />the road 2* for a total of 5". <br />Gustafson recommended a neighborhood meeting be held to discuss the options and <br />financing. Gerhardson said there are 20-25 homes in the area and under 50 property <br />owners. At this time, one home would be affected by the plan. <br />William Stoddard, a neighbor on Kelly Avenue, is in favor of raising the road. He voiced <br />concern over the size of the lift station but was informed that the majority of it is <br />underground. <br />The high water level was discussed. Gustafson said the raising of the road by 2' would <br />place the road 1* above the high water level of932.5'. Jabbour reported that indications <br />are that the high water level now will soon become the norm rather than the exception. <br />Jabbour said the Council needs to develop a policy on how to handle this problem as it <br />will happen again as water levels rise. <br />Callahan directed Staff to prepare costs involved in the project and information for the <br />neighborhood meeting. The Council will next discuss the finances of the project. <br />Gustafson said that the cost could be formulated by the watershed basis cost and divided <br />up by the watershed area. This can be based on the amount of flow contributed as well <br />as the amount of hardcover. Callahan asked Gustafson to make this determination and <br />bring the formula back to the Council for discussion.
