Resolution No. 03-106, Authorizing
Preparation of Plans and Specifications
for Marshan Lane Utility Extension.
Simple majority
BACKGROUND:
On October 8, 2001 the City Council ordered the preparation of a feasibility
study, following a petition from residents, for the extension of sanitary sewer and
water on Marshan Lane, east of Lake Drive. The Council received the feasibility
study on January 14, 2002. Following a petition submitted by four of 10
residents, to construct the utilities, the City held a public hearing on July 8, 2002.
Following the public hearing, the city received a petition against the proposed
improvements and the project has not moved forward. However there is still
interest by some of the residents for the extension of utilities. Opponents of the
improvements have indicated that the proposed cost of the utilities and additional
charges are their primary concern.
Staff is aware of on-site septic system issues developing along Marshan Lane
and believe that it is beneficial for the city, from a public health standpoint, to
further evaluate the extension of utilities.
Staff is requesting authorization to prepare plans and specification for the utility
extension. The completed plans will provide a more up to date and accurate
estimate of the project costs and allow the city to address, more accurately, the
possible financing scenarios.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 03-106.
