City Council Minutes July 12, 1982 Page Two the estimated $896,800, approximately $200,000 are directly attributable to the MSA street construction and are proposed to be financed by MSA funds with the remaining $696,800 proposed to be assessed to the benefitting properties. Mr. Maurer indicated that a portion of trunk costs was done on a weighted acres basis using the following ratio of assessment rate: Single family and multiples 1 and Industrial/Commercial, planned unit development - 1.5. Mr. Maurer then reviewed the distribution of trunk and lateral costs by subdistrict. Mayor Hinkle indicated that he and the City Administrator have met with the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the MnDOT indicated that Highway #10 may be open cut for the storm sewer system if the project would coincide with the Minnesota Department of Transportation's Highway fnO improvement project scheduled for 1984. Mr. Maurer indicated that it is estimated that an approximate $50,000 savings could be accomplished by the open cutting of Highway 10 rather than the jacking for the storm sewer. Mr. Maurer further indicated that should the municipal state aid designation for Evans be switched to Gates, it may take some time at the Minnesota Department of Transportation for approval. Mr. Nick Olson requested that the City Council review the possibility of a credit for the storm sewer cost incurred approximately 6 years ago for the construction of some dry wells in the School Street area. General discussion was carried on regarding the construction of a temporary ponding area in the PUD if the School Street project is completed this year. Further discussion was carried on regarding the administration and engineering costs estimated in the total costs of the project. Mr. Terry Maurer reviewed the proposed project schedule. Mr. Maurer indicated that should a public hearing be held in August, plans and specifications would be prepared within approximately two months following the accepting of the bids would be scheduled for approximately November, with construction beginning the early part of 1983 with completion late 1983. Further discussion was carried on regarding scheduling of the storm sewer pro- ject in conjunction with the State of Minnesota's Highway 10 project improve- ment to be done in 1984. The City Administrator indicated that it is recom- mended the City Council consider segments one and two at a minimum because of the School Street improvement project and the planned unit development. Councilman Duitsman indicated that he also felt segments three and four were important and should also be considered in the current project. Ms. Julie Hipp questioned whether the cost for the construction of a temporary ponding area in the PUD would be assessed to the individual owners along with School Street improvement assessments. Councilman Duitsman questioned the amount of MSA funds available. The City Administrator indicated that there is approximately $700,000 in MSAfunds available. The City Administrator asked the City Council to specify the segments they felt necessary to be included in this storm sewer project for public hearing notices. Councilman Duitsman indicated that he was interested in the public input regarding the storm sewer project for all four segments. Mayor Hinkle indicated that he felt the total storm sewer project should be addressed all at once.
