The engineering issues include whether the City would consider the use of a force main <br />for sanitary sewer service in this area, and the proposal for private water service, nearly <br />500 feet from the McMenemy Street right of way. The City's policy has been to require full <br />public utility services when available. In this case, the only issue arguing against the <br />requirement for public water is the economic cost of the length of water extension. If the <br />utility design is intended to be temporary pending a future public improvement, the design <br />of the public improvements should be identified at this concept stage to better evaluate the <br />ability to efficiently extend services in the future. <br />CONCLUSION <br />If the City believes that the current subdivision is a reasonable long term use of the <br />property, consistent with past decisions, the application could be approved subject to City <br />Engineer and Public Works review and comment on the utility issues. However, if the City <br />believes that this application is inconsistent with past decisions relating to private roads <br />and public utilities, the application should be denied, subject to the applicants' submitting <br />a plat proposal for the entire property. In either situation, public water should be provided <br />in conformance with past policy on water hook -ups. <br />cc: Kathy Glanzer <br />Greg Schmidt <br />Jerry Bourdon <br />Scott Tangen <br />Ron and Patricia Palmen <br />Mary Kay Vossen <br />Page 31 <br />
