Ms. 99 Hankee explained the portion that the city pays, the amounts assessed and the ability for people to 100 choose to hook up right away or later. The additional costs would be assessed, with a payment 101 period available. Council Member Rafferty recommends that staff give residents as much 102 information as possible about their exposure to costs. Mayor Reinert suggested that proposed costs 103 could be compared to past proposed costs for this project and he believes they would overall be lower 104 cost to the residents. 105 106 Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing. 107 108 Greg Olson, 6916 West Shadow Lake Drive, longtime resident. He originally purchased a lot and 109 had to attend a Planning and Zoning Board meeting at which problems with building were brought 110 up. That was 1982 and at that time they were assured that sewer and water was going to be put in. 111 Additionally the road is in terrible condition. The numbers are high but he recognizes that the work 112 must be done. He thanks the council for moving this forward. 113 114 Lynn Francis, 6961 West Shadow Lake Drive, asked about the additional cost to bring the services to 115 the home. Ms. Hankee said there will be different situations based on settings; she predicts that the 116 cost will be between $5,000 and $10,000. Mayor Reinert remarked that each time this is discussed, 117 there can be some sticker shock but later on those numbers continue to go up. 118 119 The council asked if the value of the home will reflect the cost of these improvements and several 120 residents said they believe so. 121 122 Council Member Manthey remarked that he has public water and sewer and has been told by realtors 123 that the value is there. 124 125 Marg Penn, 7002 West Shadow Lake Drive, asked if there is any chance that the city could have 126 residents get work done in aggregate to get better prices and Ms. Hankee said that is possible. 127 128 Mike Trehus, 675 Shadow Court. Mr. Trehus remarked that deciding the project is up to the city 129 council and the residents of the area. That means that the minority must live with the majority's 130 decision. He reviewed costs that he's heard. He noted his research on grinder pumps and sewer 131 costs. He noted that he has brought information to share on good septic systems which can be very 132 low cost to operate and very reliable. He also provided information on water services. He noted 133 that the neighborhood has a big decision to make. He stated that they do not need municipal water 134 but he is acceptable to the sewer services. Based on his question, there was also discussion about 3 COUNCIL MINUTES January 22, 2018 APPROVED 135 areas where the water will be extended. Mayor Reinert said he isn't convinced at this point that the 136 extension is needed and continues to receive data. 137 138 John Bergeson, 6996 West Shadow Lake Drive, spoke in support of extending sewer and water. He 139 is thankful for the road improvements and it makes no sense to put the road in without the sewer and 140 water. One point that has been missed is that if you have a functioning well and sewer, you don't 141 have to hook up to municipal utilities; you can keep the well and septic if they are maintained. He 142 feels that hooking up does make a positive difference when it comes time to sell a home. 143 144 Charles Puskas, 6994 West Shadow Lake Drive. He thanked Ms. Hankee for working with the 145 neighborhood; she has fielded a lot of questions and discussed a lot of concerns. He supports the 146 direction this is going and he encourages the council to proceed with the project. 147 148 Donnell Hansen, 6710 West Shadow Lake Drive. She has a newer septic system but she respects 149 other's needs and desires. She wants to know if people with septic systems will be asked to change. 150 Ms. Hankee said that septic systems must be compliant to remain. A building official determination 151 may be involved. Mayor Reinert said it's an important question. He feels that having a 152 noncompliant system would probably mean the system would have to be replaced anyway. People 153 should be able to know as much about that as possible ahead of the project. Council Member Maher 154 discussed with staff the threshold of "failure" that would be used. 155 156 Council Member Rafferty said he assumes that new development would be required to connect to 157 utilities; staff concurred. He also noted the survey numbers presented; it seems that only 33 people 158 responded out of 73 159 160 Pete Anderson, 6769 West Shadow Lake Drive, reported that he moved to the street in May. While 161 he did answer no to getting both utilities, he has heard the argument in favor of sewer. He has a 162 young family including four children and the cost is a big concern for him. He thinks he will have 163 costs even if he doesn't connect and down the line he knows there will be a connection requirement. 164 He also asked if this improvement will impact his property taxation as well. City Administrator 165 Karlson said he will check with the city assessor. The council said all information should be shared 166 with all interested parties. 167 168 There being no further speakers, the public hearing was closed. 169 170 613) Public Hearing: LaMotte Area Water System Extension — City Engineer Hankee reviewed 171 a PowerPoint presentation that including information on: 172 - Project area reviewed on a map; 173 - Neighborhood meeting was held and roadway components were reviewed; sanitary sewer 174 improvement and repair is already included in the project; 175 - There is a proposed water system extension included (shown on a map); 176 - Overall costs reviewed (utility); 177 - Proposed assessments were reviewed; other costs (trunk utility connection and cost of 178 connection from property line to house); 179 - Survey results; COUNCIL MINUTES January 22, 2018 APPROVED 180 - Proposed project schedule. 181 182 Council Member Stoesz asked about a delayed connection (such as someone connecting in Year 12) 183 and impact on how long someone would pay. Ms. Hankee said the cost would be whatever the city 184 charges for connection are at that time. 185 186 Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing. 187 188 Ms. Hankee presented a comment that was submitted in writing. Richard and Emily Biske, 1559 189 LaMotte Circle (letter on the file). Mayor Reinert recalled that in the past the issue of connection 190 would be forced by the city with certain road improvements. That situation has been reconsidered 191 and the forced element is no longer present. When a road is improved is decidedly a good time to 192 install utilities but he doesn't believe in pushing things on people. He doesn't see the interest here. 193 194 Joe Cameron, 1572 LaMotte Circle. He feels the neighborhood doesn't want water. Will a petition 195 be required? Ms. Hankee said she's received a few calls from the LaMotte area for the petition form. 196 Within 60 days the neighborhood can submit a petition. 197 198 Bernard Ward, 1549 LaMotte Drive. He is vehemently opposed to the water improvement. He 199 agrees with the roadway. To put water in where people don't want it is foolish. He will sign the 200 petition and he feels the overwhelming majority of residents do not want the water. They have great 201 water. 202 203 There being no one else present wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed at 7:49 p.m. 204 205 6C) SS Properties Addition/All Seasons Rental (7932 Lake Drive) Drainage and Utility 206 Easement Vacation — City Engineer Hankee reviewed the written staff report.
