COUNCIL MEETING . , Y JaN 1 � za�� REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION CITY OF ORONp DATE: January 13, 2014 ITEM NO: 3 Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: Name Jesse Struve Public Works Director' Title Public Works Director/City Engineer City Engineer's Report Item Description: Public Hearing - Green Trees R ad Sanitary Sewer Extension - Resolution List of Exhibits A- Feasibility Report B- CD with Construction Plans and Specifications C- Resolution Approving the Green Trees Road Sanitary Sewer Extension Project At the July 22"a City Council meeting, residents on Green Trees Road petitioned the City to do a feasibility report to extend a sanitary sewer stub down Green Trees Rd to serve the existing 6 properties which access through Green Trees Rd. All of these properties are currently served by private septic systems which were installed between 1980-1989 and one of the properties has a non-compliant system. All of these properties are currently included in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area(MUSA) so they are allowed to connect to the sanitary sewer system if available. Bolton and Menk finalized the feasibility report at the end of August and the City sent all of the properties copies of the report and hosted a neighborhood meeting on September 5, 2013. Staff presented the findings of the feasibility report and answered questions from the attending residents. On September 16, 2013, the City received a letter stating 4 of the 6 properties were in favor of the extension, one property was undecided, and one property was against the property. I did receive a phone call from Chris Cox (acting as power of attorney) who represented the undecided property. This property is currently for sale and has a non-compliant system. After our conversation Mr. Cox is now in favor of pursuing the sanitary sewer project. On October 9`", the residents submitted the same letter previously submitted on September 16, but included the signatures from 5 of the properties. Since this letter was submitted, I had a phone conversation with David Ryerese (1520 Green Trees Rd) who told me he is now in favor with moving forward with the project. Therefore, all 6 property owners are supportive of moving forward with the project. The residents are fully aware that by supporting this project they will be charged all costs associated with installing a sanitary sewer forcemain and stub to their properties. These costs include all engineering costs for the design and construction administration for the project. There are a number of the property owners who would want to explore assessing their properties over a 10 year period. At the neighborhood meeting, I presented I did not know what the interest rate would be, but it historically has been between 4.5-6.5%. I spoke with Finance Director Olson and
