Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />At the public hearing held March 10, 1993, City staff was <br />directed to determine if an alternate location for the <br />Viking Drive water main could be achieved at less cost. We <br />were also directed to evaluate the possibility of City <br />participation in the cost of this project. <br />Regarding the first assignment, staff has evaluated the <br />possibility of providing an alternate route for this water <br />main coming from County Road B2 through the side yard areas <br />of adjoining property. It is the conclusion of the City <br />Engineer and staff that no cost advantage can be gained by <br />attempting this type of route due to the extreme variations <br />in topography, the significant amount of trees through this <br />area, distance between buildings, the cost of easements, <br />and the costs associated with property restoration. <br />Therefore, the route the City Engineer proposed does appear <br />to be the most economical given the factors previously <br />mentioned. <br />We are asking the City Engineer to provide us documentation <br />regarding the exact location of the three Williams <br />Pipelines located on Viking Drive. If the water main could <br />be located between Viking Drive and Highway 36, some cost <br />savings could be achieved through reduced restoration costs <br />as well as a lesser impact to existing trees. The trade <br />off to this route would be costs associated with either <br />street restoration or reconstruction of the existing fence <br />line. Also, a concern about leakage from the pipelines <br />following the water service line to the home would also <br />exist. Some correspondence from 1984 relating to locating <br />the improvement is attached for your review. <br />Page 1 <br />
