He presented a summary of the improvements noting that the <br />total costs are estimated to be $761,356.00. Mr. Powell outlined <br />a summary of the assessments for the subdivision which are <br />estimated to be $884,137.98. An estimated typical lot assessment <br />is $13,200.00. He noted that Living Waters Church will receive <br />their utility services through this subdivision and they have <br />been notified what their estimated assessment will be. Mr. <br />Powell presented a time schedule for the improvements and noted <br />that the project may be constructed in phases. <br />Council Member Kuether asked why it costs so much to develop in <br />Lino Lakes as compared to other cities. Mr. Powell explained <br />that this is an estimated cost and there may be some credit given <br />to the developer for trunk sewer. The final costs will depend <br />upon the bids for construction of services. <br />Council Member Kuether noted that the estimated cost is about <br />$1,000.00 higher than presented last year.
