<br />Informational Meeting Minutes <br />Ridgewood East/Ridgewood East Third Addition <br />Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br />Q: Our property was assessed $1,700 several years ago for a sewer interceptor line. What <br />will become of that assessment? <br />A: It was explained that the $1,700 assessment several years ago was likely for an overlay <br />project but approximately 2S years ago there was a sewer interceptor assessment of a <br />much smaller value (likely less than $100 per lot) that was assessed. If this project moves <br />forward including sewer and water, the precedent has been that these previous <br />interceptor sewer assessments are given back as a credit against a future sewer <br />assessment. There would no credit given back for an overlay assessment since the <br />overlay of the roadways has served its useful life. <br /> <br />Q: If there were contaminated wells would everyone in the area have to hook up to the City <br />water system? <br />A: If there were some source of contamination that caused private wells to be contaminated <br />in the area, City water would be the only reasonable alternative; however, there is no <br />known source of contamination that would cause an event like this to occur in the <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />Q: Comment from a resident on King Circle indicating that he thought sidewalk on <br />Highland Road would be a good improvement was wondering about sewer and water in <br />the whole area and indicated that he and his neighbors were not in favor of it. <br />A: The whole area is in the sewer and water district and if we are going to look at <br />reconstructing Highland Road, the question of whether or not the remaining <br />neighborhood would like to investigate the extension of sewer and water seemed to be a <br />question that should be asked. That is why it is on the option list this evening. <br /> <br />Comment: The neighborhood on Lowell Street south of Highland Road is generally happy <br />with their septic systems and wells. <br /> <br />Comment: Most of the residents on King Circle have recendy replaced their septic systems <br />and are happy with their performance. <br /> <br />Comment: Please do something with Highland Road, it needs to be reconstructed in an <br />effort to slow down traffic and provide safe pedestrian facilities. I am in favor of option #3. <br /> <br />Q: How much would option #2 cost which is just provide a trail along existing Highland <br />Road. <br />A: This would be deemed to be a temporary solution and would likely have no assessments. <br /> <br />Q: Is there any state or federal money available for sewer and water extension into the area? <br />A: There are only city funds available to help with the cost of sewer and water into the area. <br />No federal or state funds are available. <br /> <br />Q: Would there be any changes in the sharp curves or hills along Highland Road with a <br />reconstruction project. <br />A: We would likely be able to make some vertical adjustments but would be somewhat <br />limited to horizontal adjustments given the existing right-of-way width of the corridor. <br /> <br />I <br />
