Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Under separate cover, you were provided a copy of the <br />feasibility report for the Viking Drive water main <br />extension (Improvement No. 92 -13). The cost for the eight <br />lots if the water main is not looped totalled $11,375 per <br />lot. If the water main is looped, the cost would increase <br />to $17,050 per lot. <br />Based on these cost estimates, the Council may want to <br />consider if this new water main should be subsidized by the <br />City for the eight properties along Viking Drive. The <br />rationale for subsidizing these lots could relate to the <br />fact that there is only single frontage to assess for this <br />improvement and the improvement has benefit to the <br />community at large. It is safe to assume that the <br />residents will make this request based on the conversations <br />I have had with some of them. Therefore, the Council must <br />determine if this water main is a benefit to the City or if <br />some other reason exists by which a subsidy should be <br />provided. Without a subsidy, it would appear doubtful this <br />improvement would proceed. <br />It should also be noted that we have included the larger <br />parcels off County Road B2 which may have benefit from this <br />improvement should the water main be looped. The Engineer <br />will report on the necessity of looping the water main <br />based on fire flow requirements. He will have this <br />information available for Wednesday's meeting. <br />JRH:kpv <br />Page 1 <br />
