Highway 11169 Water Trunk Crossing - Public Hearing Councilmember Duitsman indicated that the Utility Commission requested a feasibility study for a proposed trunk watermain across Highway 11169. Councilmember Duitsman indicated that the proposed trunk watermain would extend from Freeport Avenue in the Barthel Planned Unit Development east toward and under Highway #169, and ending with a connection at the existing watermain in the Barrington Place Planned Unit Develop- ment. Councilmember Duitsman inditca ted that the trunk wa termain is necessary to in-, crease water flow to the east of Highway 11169. Councilmember Duitsman further in- dicated that the project would be a part of a tax increment financing project in the Barthel Planned Unit Development or as an alternative, the project would be assessed. The City Administrator indicated that the proposed trunk watermain could be a part of a tax increment financing district if a district becomes available. The City Admin- istrator further indicated that the feasibility study proposes a 16...itich watermain and further indicated that it is proposed to assess the Barthel Planned Unit De- velopment for the equivalent cost of a 12-inch watermain which would be consistent with the Barrington Place assessment. The City Administrator indicated that originally, it was proposed to assess property owned by George Dietz north of the Barrington Place Planned Unit Development, but in light of the recent zoning developments, it is proposed to route the waterline in the same area and not to provide service under Dodge Avenue to the Dietz property. Mayor Hinkle opened the public heraing. No one appeared for or in opposition of the proposed trunk watermain.
