November 16, 1976 IIIMaking only two lines necessary. Mr. Zelinka said these homes would have to go under Sunset to hook up and that costs about $40.00 per foot. Mr. Cooper said there are no sewers on Sunset, just laterals and storm sewers. Mr. Randy Ringaman, 6833 Rustic Lane, asked, if all the utilities are put in the streets, will the streets then be upgraded? at a certain width? Mr. Carley said, Yes, the str- eets would be paved with curbs and gutters. Mr. Gardner, 7172 Sunrise, asked what the cost would be if the utilities are put in the street and the entire project done? Mr. Schneider wondered what the cost would be to the City if the sewers are put in the streets in reference to the footage of Sunrise Park? Mr. Carley said if the entire project is constructed the cost is $1.9 million dollars - approximately $6,900.00 per 125' lot; just sewer in the street - $1,090 million dollars - approximately $4,300.00 per 125' lot; sewers in the rear - $730,000 dollars - approxim- ately $2,800.00 per 125' lot. Mr. Truman, 7173 Sunrise, felt the cost of installing the sewers in the rear of the lot lines would be-just as costly as putting the lines in the front. He was concerned about the long line necessary to connect to the sewer line in the back and the problems of keeping that line open. Mr. Carley was asked if these estimates are on the low side and he told the people that IIIhis firm makes estimates such as these on the high side and he pointed out the Center - ville bids came in about $200,000.00 under the estimated cost computed by his firm. There were many people who did not want to sell the back portion of their lots and there- fore felt this would not benefit them. They would perfer the utilities in the street. Mr. Clare felt the figures had been presented and felt that a count should be taken on who wants what. Mr. Zelinka asked who wanted all the utilities in the street - approximate count - 31; who wanted just the sewer in the front - 4; in the back - 0; who wanted nothing - 21. Mr. Munchou asked, if the streets were put along the back of the lots,would there be a hearing of all people notified and he was told, Yes. Mr. Ringaman felt this area is in reports as being a probi;em area. He felt the system would save money in the long run in that the people could put the system in at their option and not be forced to by the PCA. Mr. Howard James asked when there would be knowledge on Federal Funds being available? Mr. Carley said there are no Federal Funds except for the construction of treatment plants and interceptors. Someone asked when the construction would take place and how long it would take. Mr. Carley said if the plans and specifications are ordered now, bids would probably be in around the first of March, the construction would be done in the summer of 1977 and the IIIassessments would be placed on the tax rolls for payment in 1978. Mr. James suggested delaying this for six months to investigate the Federal Fund Quest- ion question. Mr. James asked when the project would then be completed and Mr. Carley said, a year later and the costs would have gone up as a result of the current inflat- ion trend.
