MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 24, 1989 FEASIBILITY STUDY LIVINGSTON AVENUE CONTINUED construct a storm sewer in the lower area between Lots 17 and 18. The normal procedure would be to run the storm sewer along property lines, but due to existing trees, it would run diagonally across Lots 17, 18 and € to the railroad tracks and discharge into the railroad right-of-way. One of the problems this proposal presents is that it will require more right-of-way to be taken from certain property owners than others. The estimated cost of this project is $30,250.00 and there is approximately 7.1 acres of land in the drainage area, which results in a cost s.f. of $0.10. A typical lot in the drainage area would be assessed approximately $675.00 for the storm sewer. Those houses on two lots would pay over $1300.00. Cock commented that it is very common for those residents at the beginning and end of proposed storm sewer to object to their involvement and assessment. Karen Cuff was present and questioned how many houses would be involved in the project. Public Works Gerhardson said that he would provide that information within the week. Ms. Cuff questioned the period of time over which assessment payments could be made. Mayor Grabek suggested having the City Finance Director put together some preliminary figures for Ms. Cuff to present to her neighbors. CounciImember Goetten noted that money would be saved if the City did not have to pay for easements.
