RE:
GUARDIAN ANGELS LAKE ORONO DEVELOPMENT
PUBLIC HEARING
Dear Council Members:
The public hearing for the proposed sanitary sewer and water main improvements associated
with the Guardian Angels Lake Orono Development is scheduled for Monday evening, May 18,
1998. Please bring the green-covered feasibility study, dated April 19, 1998. If you need a new
copy of the feasibility study, please inform City Hall and we will provide one.
As you will recall, Guardian Angels petitioned for sanitary sewer and water improvements to
serve their Lake Orono development. The development consists of 80 units of assisted living,
20 town homes along the lakeshore, and one commercial site. In order to provide adequate fire
protection, the feasibility study recommended that the watermain be looped easterly along the
Elk Motel to the existing water that dead-ends in the driveway to the Elk Bowl. All the costs
associated with improvements within the plat boundary of the Guardian Angels development are
proposed to be assessed to Guardian Angels. The watermain loop to the east and a short
extension of sanitary sewer to serve the Elk Motel and the other property in that area are
proposed to be assessed against those two properties with an additional contribution from the
Elk River Municipal Utilities. The improvement also calls for constructing a bituminous pathway
over the watermain corridor. This was a recommendation from the Park and Recreation
committee. The cost of the bituminous pathway is proposed to be financed with Park and
Recreation funds.
We will be prepared to make a brief presentation of the information contained within the
feasibility study at Monday evening's public hearing. After the presentation, we will be available
to answer questions that the City Council and/or public may have regarding the proposed
improvements. At the close of the public hearing, it would be appropriate for the City Council to
consider the attached resolution, which orders the improvement and the preparation of plans
and specifications for the project.
