Box 490 <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: TRUNK UTILITIES WEST OF COUNTY ROAD 1 <br />FEASffiILITY STUDY <br /> <br />Dear Council Members <br /> <br />Attached is a copy of the feasibility study for the extension of trunk sanitary sewer and water to the area <br />west of County Road 1. This area includes the proposed plat of Meadowvale Heights. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The feasibility study proposes lateral sanitary sewer and water assessments against a parcel of Nord <br />property east of County Road 1, trunk sanitary sewer and water and lateral water assessments against <br />the Meadowvale Heights development, and trunk sanitary sewer and water assessments against the Nord <br />property immediately north of the Meadowvale Heights plat. However, the assessments against the Nord <br />property north of the Meadowvale Heights are recommended to be deferred with no interest because the <br />water system cannot serve this area without an additional well and tower. <br /> <br />The developer of the Meadowvale Heights project is anxious to proceed with these improvements and <br />has indicated a willingness to waive his rights to a public hearing. To eliminate the need for a public <br />hearing also requires the Nords to waive their rights. In addition, the project requires the acquisition <br />of a utility easement from the Nords. Staff would recommend negotiating a deferral of the Nord lateral <br />assessments in exchange for the necessary easements. If the City Council agrees with this approach, <br />staff would recommend the City Council consider the attached resolution authorizing preparation of plans <br />and specifications. If an acceptable agreement cannot be reached with the Nords, a public hearing can <br />be held at a later date. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, I will be in attendance at your Apri119 City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MAIER STEWART & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> <br />~()~fatt1e,{J <br />Thrry e~;urer, P.E. <br /> <br />.
