c) the City would pay for the oversizing of storm sewer beyond the Zitzloff and Parabody <br /> properties and then recover the costs when the other properties connect to the pipe. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen inquired the capacity of the pond. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that the pond is quite large, but eventually an outlot will be <br />needed for the pond but would be done as a separate project. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerlnan questioned if there would be an opportunity for pond to placed on <br />the south side of Highway #10. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that there are some opportunities. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen inquired the cost of such a project. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski estimated the project at $100,000 to $200,000 with the City portion <br />being approximately $121,000. The cost to go under the tracks would be around $25,000. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated that the Planning Commission requested that Council look at a <br />long term solution to the problem, but yet there are businesses in the area that are not willing to <br />participate in the project. She was concerned over the City being responsible for a 1/3rd of the <br />project. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that if the pipe size is increased and paid for by the City, the <br />City can recover the cost when the properties connect to the pipe. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendricksen questioned Zitco is willing to pay for their drainage. <br /> <br />Lowell Zitzloff stated that he is willing to pay for any drainage that needs to be done on his <br />property and that each property owner has an obligation to take care of their own drainage. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec questioned if all of the businesses were to attach to the pipe for drainage into the <br />pond would the pond have enough capacity to hold the water. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowsl<i replied that the pond should have adequate capacity. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson questioned if there would be more than one way to finance the <br />project. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich explained that it could be a special assessment project, but noted that <br />businesses could opt out of the project. The other option would be to adopt an ordinance that <br />would have a license fee to defray the cost of the storm water system without proving benefit. A <br />charge would be made similar to a utility charge. <br /> <br />City Council/September 28, 1999 <br /> Page 17 of 26 <br /> <br /> <br />
