Council, Meeting June 16, 1980 Page 2 Mrs. Elsenpeter questioned the kitchen facility requirement and Mayor Gourley said a living unit must have kitchen facilities according to State Building Code. 119 Mr. McLean moved to approve the transfer of this License to be effective until July 1, 1980, when the new license will be issued, the Bond to be re- placed by a Bond in the amount of $5,00.00 Living facilities to be completed by July 1, 1980 prior to the issuance of the new license and an administration cost be paid by new owners in the amount of $125.00. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Marvare told, the Council that he plans to run a clean and trouble free business at thatilocation. The feasibility study on the backup water system as prepared by Carley Eng. was discussed. Mr. Don Carley was present to present their findings and're -= commendations. Mr. Carely present three alternatives: 1. A new well to be interconnected with the existing well; 2. A new well plus an elevated tank with 100,000 gallon capacity; 3. A new well plus an 'elevated tank with the capacity of 750,000 gallons to serve the entire urban service area. Mr. Carley said the proposed location of this overhead tank is not fixed, the plan is completely flexible. The number one proposal would serve approximately 300 homes for the Country Lakes area - for over 300 should consider an elevated tank. number two would serve approximately 600 persons or 300 units; number three would serve approximately 2250 units and Mr. Carley pointed out that the area he had outlined had been computed by using 50 units per 40 acres. There was discussion of perhaps the location of the large elevated tank would interfer with the planes on Rice Lake - the size of the pipes that would be necessary. Mr. Carley felt that the tank would not interfer with the planes and he indicated the size of the pipes could vary depending on the distance from the tank to the area to be served. The general consensus of the Council was to look at a large area in the South- west portion of the City to be served and to consider the 750,000 gallon tank. The location, could be decided at the time the area to be served is considered. Mr. Carley presented some estimated cost figures; proposal no. 1 - 793.00 per lot; proposal No. 2 - 146.00 annually; proposal no. 3 - using acreage - 1550 lots 979.00 per lot - $88.00 annually. According to 'State Law at least 20% of the cost must be assessed. Mr. Carley said if 8d% was assessed and 20% assumed by the City this would compute to a 2.0 mil increase on 'the levy. Mrs. Elsenpeter suggested enlarging the area to include the Lexington Park Lakeview area and the Colonial Woods plat. Mayor Gourley said if this area is enlarged to include these areas, then the City must establish an assessment policy that can be applied for any project. This would include methods for assessing the cost of the system - by acreage - use revenue from systems such as imposing a unit charge $250.00 per unit.
