City <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item <br /> <br />#5.8. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Co~n~ <br /> <br />Michele McPhersoi~, Director of Planning <br /> <br />October 28, 2002 <br /> <br />Consider Mining Area Utility Feasibility Study <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />· October 24, 2002 Letter from the City Engineer <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />The City Council is asked to consider authorizing a feasibility study regarding the ability to <br />provide City sewer and water to the gravel mining area. <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />As is outlined in the City Engineer's letter, staff has been approached by Tiller Corporation <br />regarding the future development of their property near the County Road 33/Highway 169 <br />intersection. If City services were provided, the area would develop differently than if individual <br />well and septic systems were required. <br /> <br />This question is also of interest to the Comprehensive Plan Update Task Force as they enter into <br />a series of exercises designed to help them develop future land use scenarios. Information like <br />that being requested would be of assistance to them. The gravel mining area is uncharted <br />territory and to provide the best plan for the future, the feasibility, both technically and <br />financially, of providing services to this area is important to know. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />If the City Council authorizes this study, there may be very little expenditure if the answer to the <br />first question in the Engineer's memo is "no", no further study is needed. Monies for this study <br />would likely come from Council Contingency. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\CCREPRTS\10 28 02 Utility Feasibility.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
