( #12) DISCUSSION OF PROJECT FUNDING FOR NORTH LONG LAKE SEWER PROJECT AND SCHEDULING OF ASSESSMENT HEARING - RESOLUTION NOS. 3881 AND 3882 • Gaffron reported that the per -unit assessment amount for the North Long Lake Sewer Project is being recommended at $14,300. Goetten inquired whether the project would include the Maresh property. The Council discussed this issue. The limited number of sewer units available was noted by Goetten. Kelley voiced favor in sewering as many properties as possible. Jabbour noted the obligation to sewer commercial properties along Hwy 12 and the school property. It was noted that the Maresh property if sewered would result in one additional buildable lot. Development of the lot would result in tree removal. Tree preservation had been noted as a major reason for the request for sewering. It was noted that, if included, Maresh would be responsible for the entire cost of sewering his property. Kelley asked how many residents outside of the specific hot spot area are currently requesting sewer. There are 10 requests in this project area. There are 55 units committed to this project; 12 units are committed to the ice arena, resulting in a remainder of 8 units of sewer capacity available in the total Highway 12 area. Jabbour directed Staff to determine a solution to the Highway 12 sewer capacity issue in the next few weeks. Jabbour voiced concern with setting a precedent in relation to which properties are included in the project. He suggested the City's original plan for sewering be maintained • and requested a comprehensive sewering plan be established. 17
