Mr. Nelson showed a slide showing the length of the improvement and the cross section of the proposed road right-of-way and indicated that the current 66 foot wide right-of-way would need to be widened to at least 80 feet of permanent right-of-way for this improvement. Mr. Nelson then presented maps showing where sanitary sewer was proposed to be extended at three different locations along the route of the highway improvements and where water service lines and a water lateral would need to be extended so that the new highways would not have to be cut for future utility extension improvements necessary to serve the properties. Mr. Nelson showed a map indicating the cost participation of the city, county, federal and state governments in this project, identi- fied as Tables 1, 2 and 3, and a preliminary report cost summary. Mr. Nelson stated that the proposed estimated assessment rate for 1985 for property with R-2, single family, zoning for the road would be $27.50 per front foot and for the B-4, commercial, zoning would be $41.25 per front foot. Mr. Nelson indicated that there was approxi- mately 816 front feet of R-2 zoned property and 9,172 front feet of B-4 zoned property which the above estimated assessment rates would be applied. Mr. Nelson indicated that the estimated front foot assessment rate for the sanitary sewer would be $36.25 per front foot, and the water main rate is proposed to be $31.00 per front foot. Mr. Nelson indicated that the total cost estimated to the city for all of the improvements came to $1,196,900. ~ • • • The city clerk explained that the policy of the city was to allow the assessments to be spread over 20 years with interest paid on the unpaid principal each year with the first year's assessment coming due in 1986. At this time Mayor Zaun opened the meeting for questions and comments from the audience. Mr. Jerry Wicklund questioned the cost and need for the sanitary sewer assessment on his property along Trunk Highway 50 and what the area sewer assessment was for which was assessed back in the mid 70's on his property. Mr. Ernest Baillif asked about the benefit of the road improvement to his property and why he should be assessed for it when it was a county highway. Mr. M.J. Helkenn stated he thought the sanitary sewer should go down 173rd Street rather than Trunk Highway 50. Mr. Dale Carey stated that he did not fee there were any benefits from the street improvements to the property owners for which they should be assessed. Mrs. Gene Squire indicated she felt the proposed assessments were to high. Mr. Glenn Klotz asked about why the Bullock property on the west side of County Road 5 was not being proposed to be assessed for the utility system improvements, mainly the sanitary. sewer. It was explained that the property is much lower than the street and would not receive gravity service from this line unless there was a great amount of fill put on the property. Mr. Patrick Wren asked about why the layout number two from M/DOT for the road improvements did not show the relocated west frontage road. The city administrator explained that the relocation of the west frontage road had been dropped from the project for the time being until such time as the Wren property is redeveloped, and then the frontage road would be relocated across the north end of the Wren property connecting to County Road 5. Both Mr. Wren and Mr. Jackson asked who would pay for it when it was relocated, and the city administrator indicated it has been city policy to assess such a road on a 50-50 basis to the abutting property owners. The city council discussed with the staff the need to take into consideration possibly deferring the assessments on the proposed utility extensions until such time as the property owners either plat, develop or connect existing homes or structures to the utility systems. 84.116 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to close the public improvement hearing.
