There are properties built adjacent to the Elk River. There are also vacant properties and parcels that could be split further, if City sewer and water was available. The proposed project would provide City sewer. and water and a permanent urban street. This would allow for the development of the undeveloped parcels and potentially splitting of additional lots off of some ofthe developed parcels. The project would minimize Street Department maintenance efforts and the scope is large enough to keep construction bid prices competitive. From these standpoints, the project is cost-effective. V. RIGHTOFWAY As indicated earlier, in the mid-1990's all but four property owners on Naples Street and 186th Avenue signed easements for utility, drainage and road purposes. Exhibit 2 shows the properties that have given the easements and those that have not. For any type of improvement to proceed regarding public utilities and permanent streets, the other four easements would be necessary. Costs presented later in this report assume that the additional four easements would be given and eminent domain would not be used by the City to acquire the necessary easements. VI. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS a. Sanitary Sewer Sanitary sewer to service Naples Street and 186th Avenue would be extended from the existing lift station in the Fox Haven Addition immediately to the east. Sanitary sewer would be extended along the boulevard area in the location of the bituminous pathway to Naples Street. It would then be extended northerly to the intersection with 186th Avenue and then westerly to the termini of 186th Avenue. The sewer would be deep enough to provide gravity flow from the lowest level of the existing homes in the area. Four-inch service stubs would be extended to the easement line of each existing home and to each potential lot split in the area. The proposed sanitary sewer improvements are shown on Exhibit 3 and the estimated costs are presented in the Project Cost section of this report. 2
