COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 14, 2003 APPROVED iiik525 process they did a feasibility study, and started looking at providing sewer and water through the 26 Rehbein property. He added they received inquiries from owners further down who wanted sewer 527 and water as well. He stated there are still residents interested in receiving sewer and water, and they 528 know there are several septic problems with issues that will not go away. Staff feels they have the 529 opportunity to get to more properties this way and resolve the issues. 530 531 Concerning the land surveys, all of the parcels originally came from the same piece of land. Mr. 532 Rehbein's property is the largest parcel left. Community Development Director Grochala explained 533 that going from the legal descriptions and staking the lines it became apparent there are overlapping 534 corners. He noted this is not uncommon when parceling off pieces from a metes and bounds 535 description. He indicated they are addressing these issues, but they are not part of this project. He 536 stated they are trying to get the easement clarified, and it will happen as part of this process, and as 537 for extending it all the way, they will try to make that happen, which will help some owners pick up 538 additional lots. Regarding the assessments, they intend to put together a package that takes into 539 consideration two lots that can subdivide. For the rest, they intend to apply R-1 standards that say 540 everyone has an equal lot, even though in reality the lot sizes may be slightly different. 541 542 Councilmember Carlson asked if there would be a neighborhood meeting. Community Development 543 Director Grochala stated they want to get the plan and specifications put together, with costs, and then 544 will hold a neighborhood meeting. He indicated they would need to lock in some assessments before 545 they go through the bid process, since they incur costs during this process and need to make sure they 546 are covered. 547 .548 Councilmember Carlson asked if Mr. Rehbein has four lots. Community Development Director 549 Grochala stated it would be four lots with a little left. 550 551 Councilmember Carlson stated she understands the issue of failing systems and that the age of the 552 systems is a concern, and she asked for the last line of the report to be added to the Resolution. It 553 would read `Whereas the completed plans will provide a more up to date and accurate estimate of the 554 project costs and allow the city to address, more accurately, the possible financing scenarios.' She 555 indicated that right now it says further evaluate, which does not address the financial issue. 556 557 Community Development Director Grochala agreed they could add that to the Resolution. 558 559 Councilmember Carlson moved to adopt Resolution No. 03-106 authorizing preparation of plans and 560 specifications for Marshan Lane Utility Extension, adding an additional `whereas' to the Resolution 561 as stated above. Councilmember Dahl seconded the motion. 562 563 Mayor Bergeson indicated it seems like they are having more than the usual amount of questions on 564 property lines, and maybe it would be beneficial for the City to pay a surveyor to determine the lot 565 corners rather than having a number of individuals going about it separately. 566 567 Community Development Director Grochala indicated this may be getting done for them already. He 568 noted staff was meeting with Mr. Rehbein's surveyor to see what can be done. He advised the 569 problem is that the legal description on this goes 15 -feet further on either side than the legal 570 description of the other properties. He hopes to have additional information after the meeting next • 571 week. 572 12
