Notice of Public Hearing on Myrtlewood Neighborhood
and 850 and 875 Wayzata Boulevard West
Sanitary Sewer and Water Main Improvement Project
Dear Myrtlewood Neighborhood Residents,
Notice is hereby given that the Orono City Council will meet in the Council Chambers,
2780 Kelley Parkway, at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, February 23, 2009 to consider a sanitary
sewer and water main project for the Myrtlewood Neighborhood pursuant to Minn. Stat. 429.011
to 429.111. Such persons as desire to be heard with reference to the proposed improvement will
be heard at this meeting, or written comments may also be submitted to the City. This would be
an assessment project with all of the project costs assessed to the neighborhood residents.
The City received petitions from 9 of the 10 Myrtlewood property owners on April 3, 2008. A
summary of the petitions indicates that 9 property owners were in favor of the sewer project and
5 property owners were in favor of the water project.
A Feasibility Study has been completed for this project, and a pressure sanitary sewer system is
being proposed in which each property owner will be responsible for the installation,
maintenance, and operation of their own grinder pump station. Previous analysis showed that a
gravity sewer system to serve this neighborhood was not feasible. The feasibility study reflected
the inclusion of 10 properties on Myrtlewood Road. In addition, the Study looked at providing
municipal water to the 10 Myrtlewood properties. The total estimated project cost for the sanitary
sewer and water project is $185,000. The estimated cost per parcel for sanitary sewer is $8,500,
which includes the sewer line in the street and a service stub at the edge of the street Right of
Way. The estimated cost per parcel for the water system is $10,000, which includes a water main
in the street and a service stub at the edge of the street Right of Way. For the sanitary sewer
system, the per parcel cost does not include the cost of installing the grinder pump station,
installing the service connection from the sewer stub to the grinder pump station, or abandoning
the septic system. For the water system, the estimated cost does not include any costs for the
installation of the service line between the Right of Way and the home, plumbing costs or, if
necessary, abandoning existing wells.

Myrtlewood Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer and Water Main Project

The Study also looked into the possibility of providing sewer and/or municipal water to serve
properties located at 850 Wayzata Boulevard West and 875 Wayzata Boulevard West. The
estimated project cost to provide sewer and water to the Wayzata Boulevard addresses is
$350,000.
For Myrtlewood residents the project cost can be assessed over a 15-year time period at a 6.25%
annual interest rate. In addition to the sewer cost, there is a SAC fee of$2,000. This SAC fee
increases on an annual basis and is payment for the additional costs of the future downstream
capacity in the Metropolitan Council Sewer System. Also, the estimated property owner costs for
the grinder pump station, service connection, and septic tank abandonment can range from
$10,000 to $13,000 depending on the length of the service connection required. The City is
currently negotiating sanitary sewer and water charges with the city of Wayzata. The agreed upon
rates will be passed on to the properties served by the new sewer system.
For properties with a conforming septic system, City policy allows continued use of the septic
system as long it remains conforming. Connection to the sewer is required when the system
becomes nonconforming, or requires major repairs or expansion. Property owners with
conforming septic systems can choose not to be assessed for the project costs at this time, and
then pay a lump-sum project connection fee at the time they want to connect to the sewer. The
connection fee is based on the project assessment amount updated annually for inflation. The
property owner can also be assessed for the project costs and continue to use the septic system as
long as it remains conforming.
If there is sufficient interest in the project after the Public Hearing is held, plans and
specifications will be prepared and sealed bids solicited. An assessment hearing will then be
held, the project assessments approved, and a contract for project construction this summer will
be awarded.
The City of Orono has a Special Assessment Deferral Program available for property owners 65
years of age or older that meet specified income and assets criteria. Information on this program
is available from the City upon request.
The City Council shall discuss specifics related to sewer and water extensions to serve 850
Wayzata Boulevard West and 875 Wayzata Boulevard West at the public hearing. The estimated
project cost of$350,000 to provide sewer and water to these two properties will be assessed to
850 and 875 Wayzata Boulevard West.
Please contact me at 651-604-4863 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Tom Kello
Orono City Engineer
