<br />WS – Item #3 <br /> <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 3 <br /> <br />Date: September 6, 2016 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Diane Hankee PE, City Engineer <br /> <br />Re: Aqua Lane Trunk Watermain Project <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The 2016 Aqua Lane Trunk Watermain Project originally included extending a 3 inch diameter <br />sanitary sewer forcemain from the north end of Black Duck Drive to West Shadow Lake Drive. <br />The sanitary sewer was included at this time because it was cost effective, decreased construction <br />impacts in the future (adjacent to an existing line), and can be installed within existing easements. <br />The utilities are being directionally drilled with the use of boring pits. Due to the location of the <br />boring pit, the sanitary line was extended along a short portion of West Shadow Lake Drive to <br />Sandpiper Drive. No services are being installed. <br /> <br />Recently staff received an inquiry to connect to municipal utilities to serve the undeveloped lot on <br />the south side of West Shadow Lake Drive (across the road from 7021 West Shadow Lake Drive). <br />To allow connection to the City’s system we will establish a connection fee for properties adjacent <br />to the line. This connection fee is anticipated to be higher than what a future fee may be with the <br />West Shadow Lake Drive improvement project. The connection fee along this section could be <br />adjusted in the future. The property owner would be responsible for making the service connection <br />at the mainline and repairing the roadway. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />Staff is seeking council direction on establishing a connection fee. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />1.
