RE: HILLSIDE ESTATES 3RD ADDITION FEASIBILITY STUDY
Dear Council Members:
The City has received a petition from Phoenix Enterprises signed by Mr. Richard Foster,
regarding the extension of storm sewer and streets to serve the Hillside Estates 3rd Addition.
As you may be aware, this area has previously had sanitary sewer and watermain extended
through it in the project which connected the new elevated water tower to the existing City
water system. This project was just completed in the spring of 1994. The Hillside Estates
3rd Addition is the final piece of the preliminary plat of Hillside Estates which included the
commercial property and the 1st and 2nd Additions. Attached is a copy of the petition
received from Mr. Foster.
We have prepared the attached resolution which declares the adequacy of the petition and
orders the feasibility study for the improvements in Hillside Estates 3rd Addition.
Mr. Foster also requests that the City authorize the preparation of plans and specifications.
As has been done in the past, we would recommend that, by City Council consensus,
direction is given to prepare plans and specifications contingent upon an appropriately sized
escrow account being established by Mr. Foster to cover the cost of such improvements. At
a future meeting, a resolution approving the plans and specifications and ordering the project
would be presented to the City Council.
If you have any questions regarding this project, I will be in attendance at your July 25,
1994, City Council meeting.
Sincerely,
MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS
