Consideration of Resolution No. 94 - 67 Authorizing Preparation of a Feasibility Report, Ross Extension on Ware Road - Mr. Schneider explained that a petition requesting water and sanitary sewer service has been submitted to the City by Mr. Al Ross, 6356 Ware Road. Mr. Ross has an immediate need for water service due to a failing well and is also requesting that sewer service be extended to serve his property. Both sanitary sewer and water service have been extended to within 100 feet of Mr. Ross' property as part of a previous improvement project. To determine the most efficient way to serve the Ross property, and those areas immediately around it, a feasibility report should be prepared. Mr. Powell has already done some work on preparing costs and looked at some alternatives for providing water service to Mr. Ross. Mr. Schneider gave a brief background on utility service on Ware Road. In 1991 a feasibility report was ordered for the entire area beginning at Hawthorn Road south to about 62nd Street. A petition for the feasibility report was signed by 80% of the residents in that area. However, when the costs were made available at the public hearing, the project lost its support. Since then there has been support for small sewer and water extension projects in the area. Mr. Schneider explained that at this time the minimum project he would recommend is connecting the eight (8) inch watermain stubs on Hawthorn Road and on one of the lots in Pine Ridge along with PAGE 20 1 1 1
