JAMESTOWNROAD SANITARYSEWER PROJECT, Continz�ed) <br /> would be for the City Council to adopt a resolution ordering preparation of plans and specifications <br /> for the project. <br /> Andy Page, 3050 Jamestown Road, stated that although he had a conforming unit at present he felt <br /> hooking up was a good idea and asked whether the$9,700 would be assessed to the property or the <br /> individual.In addition,Page asked how the cost would be affected if several people chose not to <br /> participate at this time. <br /> Attorney Brokl stated that the assessment goes against the property and would be assessed two <br /> times a year with property taxes and would need to be disclosed if the property were to be placed <br /> on the market. <br /> Kellogg stated that the cost would be assessed against all 13 properties, even though not all might <br /> be participating at this time.The City would carry the costs of those not participating until they <br /> choose to hook up, at which time they would be responsible for the necessary fees. <br /> Murphy pointed out that if you choose not to participate at this time and hook up later,you will still <br /> be subject to all the same costs as you would now,and in fact, due to inflationary estimates likely <br /> more. <br /> John Ryder, 3045 County Road 6, stated that back in 1985 he installed a conforming septic system <br /> at the front of his property based on discussions with city staff at that time who had led him to <br /> believe that an eventual sewer line would likely run down County Road 6 for him to hook into. <br /> Since that time,the Jamestown system,which abuts the rear of his property has been designed and <br /> if forced to hook into the sewer system here this would place undue burden on both he and his <br />� neighbor at 3025 County Road 6.He questioned the logic for them to hook into a system which <br /> runs behind them, especially when all other utilities run in front of them down County Road 6. <br /> Kellogg stated that there is a provision in the city to eventually run lines down county Road 6 on <br /> the,south side which they could hook into.He indicated that,if the Council chose to,he could work <br /> up a new feasibility study which would run down County Road 6 and determine the costs. � <br /> ayor Peterson asked whether the line could run down County Road 6 to pick up these two <br /> eighbors and then cut through between the residences to reach Jamestown. <br /> llogg stated that this would be possible with the cooperation of the neighbors and easements. <br /> rse commented that if it is the intent of the City to run lines down County Road 6 in the future, <br /> estioned what impact it might have to run the line to two of the County Road 6 properties now <br /> e carrying costs incurred by the City to do so. <br /> .:.,. _ . <br /> h the final two property owners on Country Road 6 had conforming units,he suggested <br /> ontacted and included in the discussion because they might wish to be a part of this <br /> tension.He commented that the longer anyone waits to participate,the more expensive it <br /> s . v. <br /> PAGE 2 of 9 � <br />
