Acting Mayor Blanchard called the assessment hearing for Sanitary Sewer, Water
and Drainage Project 1971 -1 and 1971 -la to order at 8:33 P.M.
Clerk - Administrator Zylla read the legal notice and attested to its publication
in the New Brighton Bulletin on August 26th and September 2nd, 1971.
An error was noted in the legal notice in the statement "every lot, piece and
parcel abutting on Spring View Lane ".
It is noted in the minutes that the following persons received legal notice in
which the estimated costs per foot were included: Random, Inc., White Oak
Builders, Keith Harstad, Anthony Holschuh, Spring Lake Park Lutheran Church,
Vern Sinierson, Gordon Aspenson, David Mueller, Charles Charrier and Howard
Thorson.
Engineer Boehm made the presentation on behalf of the Village. He stated that
the rate per front foot on sanitary sewer lateral was $7.75, water main lateral
$4.65, drainage lateral $6.95. He also stated that sanitary sewer services
were $157.50 each and water services were $145.50 each. He said that this
compared with an estimated cost at the improvement hearing of $9.00 per front
foot for sanitary sewer, $6.10 per front foot for water lateral, $230.00 each
for sanitary sewer and $210.00 each for water services. He stated that the
drainage installation was originally planned to be put in with the street
project but that since so much excavating had to be done it was decided to
include it with the sewer and water project. He did feel, however, that the
$12.40 estimate for street surfacing would be reduced by an aiaount as yet
undetermined because of a fact that the drainage was constructed in this project.
Ed Dropps of White Oak Builders questioned whether credit was given for the
previous sanitary sewer and water street assessment on Woodcrest Drive and on
Woodale Drive. Engineer Boehm explained that yes, they we and in addition,
abatements were granted because of the creation of the north -south streets.
Mr. Dropps inquired as to whether only the north side of Woodcrest and Woodale
was assessed for drainage? Mr. Boehm explained that yes under this assessment
only the north side is. He stated that this assessment is not a storm sewer,
it is only a drainage assessment which is necessary because of the construction
of blacktop streets in the area. He felt that the people on the south side in
effect had paid this assessment when they were assessed for sanitary sewer when
their street was constructed.
Acting Mayor Blanchard asked if the drainage would have been built if the
project had not been started. Engineer Boehm stated that in his opinion
no it would not have been.
