( 96) PROPOSED SEWER PROJECTS - NORTH LONG LAKE Cook presented an overall summary of the project and the results of the feasibility study. The improvement project will extend the sewer to the North Long Lake area as well as the Country Club Addition from the existing sewer off of Brown Road. A lift station will be located at the corner of Long Lake Boulevard with flow by gravity to the lift station from Dakota Avenue and East of Long Lake Boulevard. Some homes will require grinder pump stations placed on the lake side of their homes. Once the sewer has been installed, the street will be restored and boulevard resodded. The Dakota Avenue section is open to surfacing with blacktop. Cook reported that some easements will be required to provide service to serve several lots and for lift stations. The project will also require some temporary easements where tight corridors are present. The lift station will pump the sewage out Long Lake Boulevard to CoRd 6 and down to the Country Club Addition. The Country Club Addition will be served totally by gravity to the lift station on the south end of the subdivision and pumped out along Country Club Road and Brown Road to the existing manhole. Cook reported that an alternate force main was reviewed to the south across private property, which would require an easement, to West Farm Road and also by the marsh area. This would result in a savings of approximately $30,000, but because of the need to go through the marsh area, there is concern with pollution and access difficulties. The installation could take place by direct boring but repair would be difficult. This alternate is not being recommended. Cook noted three homes along the east side of Brown Road are not included in the project. 2
