176 November 16, 1976 There was discussion on the lands East of Sunrise and what happens to them if the sewers go down the rear of the lots. Mr. Arnold, Sunrise Avenue, asked about the three homes on the East side of Sunrise and the homes on Rustic Lane, Mr. Carley assured her they would also receive sewer. Mrs. Jan Wymore, Lakeview Avenue, asked about a $14.70 per front figure and where this came from? did the petitioners have this figure? Mr. Carley said, No, these are the only figures that have been prepared. The Centerville costs were brought into the discussion. Mr. Carley said that Centerville is an entirely different project and a different' form- ula was used to set the assessments. Cannot go by figures read in a paper - no two comm- unities are alike. Mr. Cooper from Sunset Avenue asked what the cost per front foot would be not the cost per lot. Terry Clare, Lakeview Avenue said the petition asked for sewers, water, and storm sew- ers and streets, - felt this should all be done at once - would save money in the long run. The residents along Sunrise felt the empty land to the East should pay their portion of this assessment. Mrs. Jeanette. Gates, Lakeview, said the wells and septic systems are over 20 years old and have reached their capacity. Mr. Arnold, Sunrise, said the ground absorption has reached its limit. She wanted the lines in the front of her home. Mr. Howard James, Lakeview Avenue, asked if there would be an increase in taxes? Mr. Joe Davis, Sunrise Avenue, asked if any Federal Aid figure had been plugged into these costs? is there any available? any other funds? Mr. Carley said the only fund- ing available is the Public Works Act and this is being applied for throught a joint application with Blaine, and Lexington for water. Mr. Steven Clare asked if there are any Federal Funds and Mr. Carley said, No, just for the construction of treatment plants and interceptors. These funds are all controlled by the Metropolitan Council. Mr. Matti, Sunset Avenue, asked about hooking into the lines currently located in the street on Sunset. It was felt the lines on Sunset only extend about one block or less north of North Road and would be of very little use to the project. There was general discussion on the lands North of Sunrise Park and that they should share the cost; the easement on the rear lot lines; and the covenant that had been placed on the lands at the time of development. Mr. Zelinka said the covenant has expired but the utility easement is perpetual. Mr. Rick Juleen, 47 Fairmont, asked how he would hook up and he has paid the SAC, would he have to pay again. He was told the lines would run to his home from Lakeview and the SAC is only paid one time. Mrs. Wymore, Lakeview, asked why a corner lot should pay more than other lots of the same size? Mr. Carley said because the back portion of the corner lots can be sold immediately and thus benefit from the installation. There was discussion of the homes along Sunset hooking into the Blaine system, thus
