On May 8, 2017, the Lino Lakes City Council passed Resolution 17-42 accepting the Feasibility Report for the West Shadow Lake Drive and LaMotte Neighborhood Improvements. Due to design considerations and input from residents adjacent to the project regarding the extension of water and sanitary sewer, the following additions are intended to be included as an amendment to the Feasibility Report. The proposed project with the amendment as outlined below, is necessary, cost effective, and feasible. Feasibility Report Section 4.3 - Watermain Improvements - 4.3.3 Alternative Improvements The proposed watermain improvements within the LaMotte Area include extending an 8” diameter watermain along LaMotte Drive and LaMotte Circle. The system would be served by water from the City of Centerville, but the infrastructure installed and maintained by the City of Lino Lakes. Improvements would also include hydrants, gate valves, and water service extensions to the right-of-way / property line. The project will also include a watermain loop at the north end of LaMotte Drive to an existing connection in the City of Centerville. Feasibility Report Section 5.1 – Opinion of Cost A detailed opinion of probable cost is included with this report. The opinion of probable cost is based on projected construction costs for 2018, and includes a 10% construction contingency and 20% indirect costs. The funding for the watermain installations for LaMotte Drive and LaMotte Circle would be provided through a combination of City trunk utility funds and special assessments. The project costs and funding are summarized as follows: LaMotte Area Watermain Summary of Costs Assessed Trunk Total Schedule C – Watermain Improvements $358,815.60 $127,875.00 $486,690.60 Feasibility Report Section 5.2 – Special Assessment Analysis The watermain assessments for the LaMotte Area were analyzed on a per unit basis of parcels adjacent to the project site benefitting from the extension of watermain. The per unit assessment was calculated by dividing the cost of the watermain by the number of parcels on the project. Trunk utility costs were not included with the per-unit cost for the watermain. Lots determined to be unbuildable, without direct access to the proposed utilities, with no benefit provided, or already have service were not included in the calculation. The analysis was based on 38 parcels within the project area receiving benefit from the water system improvements.
