Item 4.2. Howard R, Green Company CONSULTING ENGINEERS June 21, 2000 File: 807650-0030 The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, Minnesota 55330 RE: WESTERN AREA PHASE IV IMPROVEMENTS REVISED FEASIBILITY STUDY CITY OF ELK RIVER, MINNESOTA Dear Council Members: Attached is a copy of the Revised Feasibility Study for the Western Area Phase IV Improvements that was ordered by the City Council with the adoption of Resolution 00-27 on April 24th, 2000. This Revised Feasibility Study removes the water main looping and street construction on 185th Avenue (North Frontage Road of TH 10). It adds the westerly extension of trunk sanitary sewer and water from the southwest corner of the Sherburne County Government Center through the Hoyt Partners property to Waco Street. These changes in the proposed improvements result in an increased total project cost to $2,677,500.00. The project is proposed to be funded through three sources: (1) assessments to the benefiting properties, (2) cooperative agreement funds from MnDOT, and (3) Municipal State Aid construction funds. With the revised improvements, the area available for trunk sanitary sewer and water assessments has increased substantially. Added to the proposed assessment role was the remainder of the Hoyt Partners property and S&Z Investment property located west of Waco Street. Still in the proposed trunk sewer and water assessment is the White property (Wapiti Park) and the Roy property (Custom Motors). With these proposed trunk assessments, all properties located north of County Road 30 in the western area will have been assessed for trunk sanitary sewer and water. There are still a few small parcels located in the extreme southwestern area that have yet to be assessed. With this increase in assessable area, the amount of the project proposed to be assessed has increased to approximately $2,000,000.00. The property owned by Denny Chuba and Rich Kincannon adjacent to TH 10 is not proposed to be assessed, and in fact, is not even mentioned in the Feasibility Study because this property is outside the Urban Service Area. Previously, the property owners petitioned to be removed from the Urban Service Area, and this removal was granted by the City Council. I have talked with Mr. Chuba regarding the possibility of being included in the Urban Service Area again. I have indicated to him he would need to petition for this inclusion and suggested the best time to do that would be after the City Council awards the construction contract indicating that trunk utilities will be extended to Waco Street.
