Jean/(/ig-r, Deputy Cit July 25, 2001 To: Twilight Acres 1st and 2nd Addition Area Residents Re: Project Update and Resident Poll Dear Resident: On May 14, 2001, the City Council held a public hearing for the above referenced project. At the meeting a revised feasibility report was presented. The revised report detailed the construction of sanitary sewer only. The sanitary sewer would be constructed in the boulevards to minimize street removal and replacement. By constructing the sanitary sewer in the boulevards it will not have the necessary depth to provide a gravity connection to the existing homes. The existing homes will need a grinder pump to facilitate their sanitary flow into the new sewer main. At the public hearing an alternative was also presented that involved removing the portion of the project within the Twilight Acres 2nd Addition. This may allow the City to apply the Community Development Block Grant it received to 25 lots, rather than 32 lots. This could reduce the average assessment in the Twilight Acres 1st Addition from $5,900 to $3,500. At the time of the public hearing it was not known if Anoka County would allow the City to reduce the project area and keep the entire grant. Since the public hearing it has been determined that the reduced project area would still meet the federal requirements for the grant. However, the County Board would review the revised project and may decide to alter the amount of the grant. The City Council has directed City staff to send out a survey to poll the affected property owners regarding the project proceeding. Please complete the attached poll form and return it to the City at your earliest convenience. We would appreciate receiving your response no later than Friday, August 3, 2001. If you have any questions before the meeting, please call me at 651-982-2430. Sincerely, John M. Powell, P.E.

Comments: No Yes When complete, please return to the City in the enclosed envelope. Thank you for your response.
