41289.3 lb <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Mark E. Bernhardsonf City Administratoi <br />DATE: April 12, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: Highway 12 Feasibility Studies <br />Attachments: A. Trunk Highway 12 Sewer and Water Plan - <br />Dated April 1989 <br />B. City of Orono Capital Budget July/1988 <br />ISSUE <br />1. Determination of directing the plans and sepcifications to be <br />drawn for the following items; <br />- Highway 12 sewer Part I <br />- Highway Water system <br />Highway 12 Sewer Part II will be brought forward once the <br />alternatives are better refined. <br />INTRODUCTION - One of the issues related to the Comprehensive <br />Plan Amendment was provision of water and sewer for properties in <br />that zone in order to complete the necessary rezoning. <br />DISCUSSION - The Rebers* property currently is desiring <br />diTefopraent and it would be appropriate at this time to undertake <br />the necessary plans and specifications for these projects. In <br />addition to the steps outlined later in this memo. There would <br />need to be the attendent work to bond for the project and <br />undertake the assessment prior to the October deadline if it s to <br />be on the 1990 tax statements. <br />Financing alternatives for the project are outlined on page 8-10. <br />It is anticipated that it will be done with special assessment <br />charges. The financing proposal will be finalized following <br />meetings with the primary property owners. <br />As there is a range of alternates and costs for the second part <br />of the sewer, it is anticipated that the developers would <br />"escrow" the money and that there would be a rebate of monies <br />should the maximum cpst alternative not be undertaken. <br />Whether the City proceeds independently with a water system or <br />as an integrated system with Long Lake, the water main to s®jve <br />the Otten and Rebers properties would need to be constructed. <br />The Comprehensive Plan anticipated construction of a well even <br />if integrated in the next few years. As more water users came on <br />line, a larger water tower than Long Lake's probably would be <br />needed to serve the entire system in the longer term.
