City Council meeting of March 16, 1998 Page 5 130TH STREET LIFT STATION The Council considered the City Engineer's report regarding the proposed location and cost of a lift station necessary to serve the proposed Beaver Ponds Subdivision, as well as adjacent developable property. The Engineer's report is based on the City's Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan, and recommends moving the lits station from the proposed development to a site further east on 130th Street. This would allow for efficient service to other properties in the area. The City Engineer estimates that moving this lift station will cost the City approximately $189,000. Potential funding sources for the project include assessment of adjacent benefited properties, the City's utility fund, or some combination of the two. Leroux made motion, Goiffon seconded, directing City staff to draft a Development Agreement and resolution establishing a Service Connection District for the lift station. All aye. Motion Carried. FENWAY BOULEVARD LANDSCAPING The City received a letter from Mrs. Laurie McRostie, a Landscape Architect with OSM, providing a cost estimate for preparing a landscaping plan for Fenway Boulevard. This road will be the dividing line between industrial property to the west, and residential property to the east, and deserves a more detailed landscaping treatment than normally provided for City streets. An option for paying for future maintenance on such a system is to create a Special Service District for the Industrial Park, where the industrial properties will pay to maintain the buffer area between them and the residential properties. Leroux made motion, Miron seconded, that the City enter into a Agreement with the landscape architect from OSM, for the preparation of two (2) concepts for a landscape plan for Fenway Boulevard, at a cost not to exceed $4,900. All aye. Motion Carried. STANDARDS FOR FIRST FLOOR ELEVATIONS The City's Water Resource Engineer has recommended that the City raise the threshold of the lowest floor elevation by one foot. Miron made motion, Leroux seconded, directing City staff to prepare an amendment to the City's subdivision ordinance reflecting the change to the lowest floor elevation requirement for review by the Council. All aye. Motion Carried.
