WS -3 WORK SESSION MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council From: James E. Studenski Date: August 17, 2005 Re: Work Session Item 3 — Lakeview Drive Utility Extension Background The City has verified a petition (attached) from the Lakeview Drive residents requesting the extension of City utilities along Lakeview Drive. This petition resulted in 42% support of the project. Attached is a map of the Lakeview Drive area, which shows lots that signed the petition. This information was presented at the July 20th Work Session. The area of the petition is defined as Low Density Unsewered Residential. It is in the Stage 1 Growth Area; however, it is outside of the MUSA boundary. The street reconstruction is not scheduled in the current 5 -year plan. This area is identified as a future sanitary sewer trunk line extension. The next step is to order the preparation of a report on sanitary sewer and water service. A copy of the petition and a sketch of the project area are attached. The study will cover Lakeview Drive from Elm Street to North Road. The study will address, on a preliminary basis, design, cost, assessment, schedule, and other issues as they relate to providing City utility service to this area. Surveys and soil borings will be performed to assist in preparation of the report. The cost of the Feasibility Study will not exceed $45,000. Funding of the study must be determined. Requested Council Direction Staff is requesting direction from the City Council as to the next step that staff should take in response to the utility extension. Items that must be addressed by the City Council include; study funding, comprehensive plan, MUSA, street reconstruction schedule, funding of trunk improvements, and assessments of the street portion of the project.
