r -2- Mayor 2-Mayor O'Connor announced that this was the time and the place for the holding of a public hearing including drainage area #2 as part of the Silver Lake drainage outlet. DeWayne Olson of Comstock and Davis,' Village Engineers, explained in detail the boundaries of Drainage Area #2 and its contribution to the Silver Lake outlet. He stated that the total estimated cost of the project was $31,600.00, or 26.44 per 100 sq. ft. or, $115.00 per acre. Mr. Olson explained that the estimate was a preliminary one and that the pro- ject was contingent on an agreement between the Village of New Brighton and the Village of St. Anthony. Mr. Allen W. Durtsche, 2908 - 36th Avenue N.E. asked if there were any lift stations included in the proposals. Mr. Olson informed him that the system was a gravity system and that no lift stations were inclu^ ded in the design. Mr. Durtsche asked if the internal storm sewer system for area #4 was to be assessed to that area, only. Mr. Olson explained that the internal system for the various drainage areas were assessed to the area only and that the main trunk system was assessed to those areas draining into the trunk system. Mr. Ketchum, 3507 Harding Street stated that his property was not included in the assessment for area #2 on an earlier storm sewer assessm- ent. It was explained by Mr. Olson that the perimeter boundary lines used for public notice were not the exact boundarylines used for assessment purposes, and that if he was excluded from district #2 assessments on previous imp- rovements that he would be excluded on this assessment also. The Mayor read a prepared notice of objection submitted by the Soo Line R.R. and ordered same filed. A representative of the Soo Line R.R. asked to be s heard, and stated that the company felt that the assessment as proposed should be financed from general revenue rather than assessments. DeWayne Olson, Village engineer, stated that the storm sewer improvements as affected the Soo Line R.R. property, alleviated flooding conditions along the R.R. RIW. Raymond Haik, Village Attorney, informed those present that assessment notices will be sent to property owners affected prior to an assessment hearing. This hearing would be conditioned on a joint agreement to proceed on the project that is being negotiated with the Village of New Brighton, and the ultimate construct- ion of the Silver Lake Outlet.
