front foot basis for storm sewer. Mayor Neisen explained that the front foot
storm sewer assessment was only on the new areas. However, all property could
be assessed an area assessment.
Mrs. G. Lunde, 8444 Red Oak Drive, asked how the benefit value was determined for
each lot. Engineer Bearden explained that any land within the drainage boundary
is considered to have benefit.
Attorney Meyers further explained how benefit is determined. He noted that
the final determination of benefit will not be made until the assessment hearing
next year.
Mr. David Grove, 8449 Spring Lake Road, asked why the new street west of Spring
Lake Road does not go directly north and south. Engineer Bearden explained that
on the north the street may not be able to go through due to housing construction,
and on the south, if the street were to go through it would go through expensive
commercial property. He said that it's possible traffic to the south may be
able to filter onto a road now in existence in Spring Lake Park.
Mr. Fred Moore, 8345 Westwood Road asked if Spring Lake Park has given their
permission to use the street. The Mayor said that "no" they haven't at this
time, however, we may be able to work something out. In addition, this proposal
is only in its preliminary stages.
Mr. Marvin Schluter, 8312 Spring Lake Road said water now does stand in his back
yard.
Mr. Robert Bruflodt, 8346 Groveland Road asked if 35% of the affected property
owners had petitioned for the improvement. The Mayor answered "no" that a
petition was only received for proposed Knollwood Drive and a portion of proposed
Pleasant View Drive. He explained that the Council ordered the hearing expanded
because storm sewer is necessary before any street can be constructed in the
area.
Mrs. Schluter, 8312 Spring Lake Road says she pays too much in assessments now.
Mr. William Foerst, 8340 Red Oak Drive asked how it was determined that everyone
in the drainage boundary was assessed. Engineer Bearden explained that it was
determined by the break in street grades taken from various utility maps.
Mr. George Grone, 8407 Spring Lake Road asked how wide the easement for storm
sewer is. Engineer Bearden explained that the permanent easement will be ten
feet and the temporary easement will be wider, depending on circumstances. The
storm sewer would generally have a depth of ten feet.
Mr. David Bissonnette, 8312 Red Oak Drive asked which roads were petitioned for.
It was explained that only Knollwood Drive and a portion of proposed Pleasant
View Drive were petitioned for.
Mrs. Arthur Abbott, 8270 Spring Lake Road asked why the cost for easements.
Attorney Meyers explained about acquisition procedure and its related costs.
