Public Hearing fo� proposed sewers for Minnetonka 7 : 05 P.M. • Bluffs , Orono Lane , West Ferndale Road, and County Road #15 , March 20 , 1980 The Orono Council met on the above date with the following members present: r2ayor Van Nest and Councilmember Butler. Absent: Councilmembers Hurr, Massengale , and Paurus. Also present: City Planner Olson, City Engineer Cook, On-Site Systems Manager Gaffron, Public ��orks Coordinator Gerhardson, and City Clerk Strom. Absent: City Administrator Benson. � Mayor Van Nest stated that since a quorm was not MINNETONKA BLUFFS, ORON present and no action could be taken tonight, the LANE, WEST FERNDALE meeting would be an informal one with citizen ROAD, & COUNTY #15 participation and information presented for the SEWERS residents concerned for their particular area. City Engineer Cook stated that it was decided at the previous public information meeting to look at the feasibility of constructing sanitary sewers for this particular area. Two basic alternates were considered after checking the conditions of the soil borings, where peat was found in depths of 30 feet, so a normal sewer installation for the area would be difficult. Mr. Cook presented slides demonstrating the process of the flow of sewers to the Blue Lake Treatment Plant. The slides also explained the routes of the sewer line to be taken through the different areas to be sewered. Assessment boundaries were discussed, r4r. Cook stated that wetlands would not be served, but building sites would be assessed per buildable site, not by number of lots per dwelling. Division of larger properties was discussed concerning the need for sewers if they had adequate room for private septic systems. Mayor Van Nest stated that if larger properties wanted sewers, they would have to join in now for sewer and not a few years later after sewers are in, so that they would be included in the assessments now. Mayor Van Nest also commented that some areas on County Road #15 were large enough to handle private septic systems , and it would not be necessary for these larger properties to have municipal sewers; therefore, these were not included in the proposed project.

Alternate II consists of s gravity system in the Minnetonka Bluffs and Orono Lane area �aith Ferndale Road and County Road 15 being served with small grinder pump stations. The entire system then discharges into a lift station which pu�s into the Metropolitan Sanitary Sewer Interceptor. The estimated project cost along vith the estimated assessment rate as determined on a unit basis is as follovs: Alternate I Alternate II Est'd Cost Cost/IInit* Est'd. Cost Cost/Dnit* Minnetonka Bluffs $159,600 $8,400 $159,600 $8,250 Orono Lane 161,630 15,500 103,800 10,100 Ferndale Road 421,820 25,610 194,400 12,100 County Road 15 150,130 22,250 64,600 9,880 Lift Station 44,100 * 35,800 * * - Cost/unit includes lift atation Alternate II results in a lov cost/unit but maintnenance coets are approaimately $7,000 higher per year than for Alternate I, because of the grinder pump installa- tion�. It is proposed that the additional maintenance cost be distributed to the areas being served by the grinder pump at approximately $300/year. The maintenance costs would be adjusted as determined by experience in the future. The project costs do not_ include easement acquisidnn sa it is anticipated that easements will be donated by the property oWners. . c� `'� M ' � �� `Y� � � � � � � � � � ro �� ' � �, � � a " � � � � `� . �� '<� � � �� a � � � � � � � �� ' �� . � �� ' ,� � �' g q � � � `�' `� � S C� ' ' � �� `� v � � � � � � `�`r �1, c°�, > � _� -\ � � VA� � � y �' _� � � � •� � � �� `� ` ^ � � G � m I� � � � � N � � � � � L � \ Q -� � .�n .. � O �1 C��„ � \�1 � `� � a � � � Q � � \ , � J �, � � � �� , � � � � 1 , � �\\�' �� `.� .�, �� r� � � � �� I � � �� `��`' �� " �i � � `�`C � � � ~ � \ \ � � �� -� -- .�, `� � ` � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � , � � � �, � � � �� ` � � � q . �� , � �' � �� -� � . � � � � � � �� i �- � =�� , `� � � � °� �� --J , � \-; �1 � L � � " � `i � � � � �J � ' � � N � � � s �� , <� ' � �.... � C�- � � ' � � �- � ' � � � � � � � -1 �� v � � � . �.�, �a -• � ,�, r �� si--� . - --- .� ---- � - � -.-- �-- -` - -- - ---- --- - --------- - __._ _.---.�_._---___-- _-------- _ _ _. _ __ �,- - -_ .v _ �- �� ----<� . -_. . .- _ . . __. _ _.._ -- , --.__..___.__ . ___._._ _-. -- ---_. _ ___- --._____._.._�. \ ��\\\�� J • � \ I `-�- v � , . � � � �, � �� • . a� � ' �' --�i �, � :�� .� ��y `� ro � a � � � � �� 1 h (:o � ;[ �_-/ � U� � � �� l 1 `� `�� (�` � � \ � -O v 1 C I"� '`�� 'y � . , . � �' � � � � �' � � � � � � w' � � � Q, �-, ..; I.P � "� � � a� � �� `�' � � � � � � � �� .-� � �� , � � � �, �, � � -� � �� ,� �� : `� �� '� 1^� � �Y� � �� v �' \ — �+ �� N ' `✓� -� � . � � � , � �C � 6 " � `��' � � � � 2 z :� � ,� �, � � �:, � �� -� � � , � � �� ' � Grl � � � � ��--� "� S-' ` `� J ?� �`� ��. � \ � � �� , , .� � � �-, � f 0 —> � \c� ` `� F�� \ � l�'�\ ��Y� �;� .. .� �t � � � ,�+ .'� > , � .�r f '-' � ') \' .� � �� '� � � -^J � � � � � ,� � �� ,� � �,�` >-- � � � h � �;.�' �� c� .:_�, - - --- - ___- __� __ _ - - � ' - - ---- �- _. . . �..___�._ �.. � _ '_�.__... ...... . .... . ....._. .. . _.. .._..... l� '. .. .. .... .... _._ ____....�_. .. . ,,.�.__....�. »�.._.�....�..��+�.�� -- "��_�.�� .?- _ . . __ .��. .� __w..--r�-� .�.��-��..�.....�-.
