April 30, 1997 File: 230-365-10 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway P.O. Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330-0490 MACON STREET AND RIVERVIEW DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS PUBLIC HEARING Dear Council Members: As you are aware, the public hearing for the Macon Street and Riverview Drive improvements is scheduled for May 5, 1997. Please bring along the Feasibility Study (blue cover) you previously received for this project. If you are unable to find the Feasibility Study, please let me know and I can provide additional copies. As you are aware, the Feasibility Study discusses extending City sanitary sewer and water along Macon Street and Riverview Drive, along with reconstructing a permanent urban street with concrete curb and gutter. The street and utilities will serve Outlot A and B of Country Crossing 3rd Addition. The Feasibility Study recommends that the existing lots on the west side of Macon Street and south side of Riverview Drive be assessed for street and storm drainage improvements, but that the sanitary sewer and water assessments be held by the City until such time that the individual properties decide to hook up or utilities are extended throughout the entire neighborhood. In the Feasibility Study, the estimated total assessment against the existing lots is just under $13,000. The immediate assessment for street and storm sewer would be $6,000. This total is very comparable to Orono Lake 3rd Addition, which was assessed $12,150 per lot. We are optimistic that through the bidding process, the proposed total assessment will be lowered slightly. We would suggest that the assessment hearing to be held later this year would be the appropriate time to look at the total assessment to ensure that it is comparable with similar projects. The proposed assessment for the Country Crossing lots is $11,275 per lot, based on the preliminary plat. This is slightly lower because the number of lots is greater on their side of the street. An Equal Opportunity Employer Honorable Mayor and City Council April 30, 1997 Page Two I will be prepared to make a brief presentation at the public hearing and then answer any questions the City Council or audience may have. Attached is a resolution for the City Council to consider at the close of the public hearing. This resolution orders the improvement and authorizes the preparation of plans and specifications. Due to the petition submitted by the Developer of the Country Crossing 3rd Addition, this resolution requires a simple majority vote of the City Council. If you have any questions regarding this, please call. Sincerely, MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS Terry J.~ Maurer, P.E.
