-238- FEASIBILITY REPORT STREET, STORM SEWER, WATER & SANITARY SEWER FOR PONDVALE ESTATES CITY OF RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 1.0 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to review the technical feasibility of'providing street, storm sewer, water and sanitary sewer facilities for Pondvale Estates and Pondvale Estates Second Addition, including 150th Lane and Helium Street to the plat boundaries, in the City of Ramsey as required by Minnesota Statute 429. The area of benefit is described as follows: Blocks 2 & 3 Pondvale Estates and Pondvale Estates Second Addition, City of Ramsey, Anoka County, Minnesota. The project area, as shown on Exhibits A, B & C, lies within the East Half of the Southeast Quarter of Section 23, Township 32 North, Range 25 West, City of Ramsey, Anoka County, Minnesota. In September of 2001, a public information meeting was held to discuss the needs of this area and hear the comments or concerns of the residents of the community. These needs form the basis for the improvements proposed in this report. It is proposed to finance the project by several methods. Since the streets are already paved in this project area, the street improvements are proposed to be assessed to the benefiting properties for 50% of the street improvements (excluding the storm drainage). The City would pay for the other 50% of the street replacement cost. The cost of the storm drainage will be Paid from the City's Storm Water Utility Fund. The cost of the water and sanitary sewer will be paid with hookup fees at the time of hookup per the City's schedule for water and sewer lateral charges. The resident will also be responsible for any applicable SAC and WAC charges at time of hookup. This report will also discuss the shared benefit or relationship of these improvements with two adjacent project areas, which are the subject of separate feasibility reports. The commonality of the proposed improvements 'in all three project areas create the desire to schedule all three projects for construction at the same time period, possibly resulting in reduced construction cost. One of the projects is the currently undeveloped area north of this subdivision referred to as" South of City Hall Campus" in previous staff reports and as Page 1 G:\MunicipaI~ARAMSEY\632\RA632FSR1 .doc I I I I I I I I !
