Mayor Pickar recommended that Mr. Harstad clean up the problems with the outlots
and return with new plats for approval.
Mayor Pickar closed the Pleasant Acres public hearing and opened the next public
hearing.
SILVER LAKE ROAD PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
Mayor Pickar stated that it was to be an informational hearing to get input from
the people on Silver Lake Road as to whether they were interested in having sewer
and water services put it and to give them an estimate of the costs involved.
Administrator Achen stated that the hearing was scheduled at the request of two
or three property owners on Silver Lake Road who would like to subdivide their
property and rezone it, but that a decision on whether or not to put in the
sanitary water and sewer services must be made first.
Engineer Hubbard presented three maps, each showing an alternative of how the
improvements could be made and stated that the assessments were based on 13 lots,
which resulted in approximately $2800 in assessments per lot.
Margaret Kramer, 7663 Groveland asked if the property owners along that stretch
of Silver Lake Road would have to pick up the entire cost of the project.
Mayor Pickar replied that just the residents on the west side of Silver Lake
Road would be assessed. Engineer Hubbard explained that Silver Lake Road acts
as a barrier and that services could not be cut across but would have to be put
in on the west side and that the east side would be serviced internally.
Jim Celt stated that he owned half of lot four and asked if the owners of the pro -
perty on the other side of Silver Lake Road could possibly cut across and join
up the services. Engineer Hubbard replied that they could not be serviced from
the west side unless Silver Lake Road was torn up completely, and stated that
utilities would have to be paralleled.
Mrs. Kramer asked what the square foot cost would be. Engineer Hubbard replied
that map 1 would cost approximately $31.06 per square foot for sewer and $21.06
for water and map 2 would cost approximately $29.55 per square foot for sewer and
$21.06 for water. He also stated that dual services would be required on two
family homes.
Administrator Achen questioned if it was certain that the improvements would be
of no benefit to the east side of Silver Lake Road and questioned if perhaps a
feasibility study should be done. Engineer Hubbard replied that he was quite
sure that the east side would not benefit. He also stated that the County would
not allow the services to be cut across Silver Lake Road.
Mr. Celt asked what it would take to have a feasibility study done. Engineer
Hubbard replied that if the Council feels the people want it, they would order
it done. He also stated that the cost would be approximately 20 to 25% of the
engineering costs of the project, which would be approximately 15°x, of which
the property owners would be assessed.
Mayor Pickar stated that 35% of the residents would have to be interested in the
improvements before any action could be taken. Mayor Pickar polled the property
