INTRODUCTION The feasibility study for this project was petitioned for by the landowner, Fox Development Company, and the developer, Residential Development, Inc. The project received preliminary plat approval from the Planning Commission at their meeting on February 6, 1996, and from the City Council at their meeting on February 27, 1996. This report will examine the feasibility of the project, the estimated construction and project costs and the apparent assessments, for the construction of municipal sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer, streets and trails for the proposed development. The project area is shown in Figure I. DESCRIFIION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS The project area lies adjacent to and south of 153rd Avenue and adjacent to and east of Sunfish Lake Boulevard (County Road 57). Immediately to the south is the undeveloped Kurak parcel, and immediately to the east is DNR Wetland l14P and the FOX KNOLL Development. The existing homestead is in the northeast portion of the development area, with the existing home and garage contained in proposed Lot 20, Block 1. These buildings will remain and will be occupied by the current resident. Ali other existing structures will be removed. Site topography is characterized by a pronounced depression in the southwest portion of the site, and a pronounced slope down to the wetland on the east side of the site, wrapping around to the northeast comer and 153rd Avenue. The site has mature cedars along the westerly boundary, a combination of mature pines and deciduous trees along the northerly portion, and mature oak trees along the slope down to the wetland on the east side. The platted area contains approximately 25.3 acres. DESCRIFIION OF PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS Complete municipal improvements, including streets and utilities, are proposed to be extended to service the 46 lots to be created with the development. Ail improvements are shown in Figure 1. Sanitary sewer will be provided to the site by connecting to the existing 30 inch trunk sani.tary sewer line, which currently terminates in the wetland on the east side of the site at the extension of 152nd Avenue. Sanitary sewer will be extended in the proposed streets of the development as an 8 inch pipe, except the segment in 152nd Avenue is a 10 inch trunk line approximately 30 feet deep. This pipe wiI1 be jack-bored under Sunfish Lake Boulevard terminating on the west side for extension as a trunk line in the future. All proposed lots will be extended a 4 inch service line. Water service will be provided to the site by extending the existing 12 inch trunk waterline, which currently terminates 'on the' east side of the site at the same location as the trunk sanitary sewer. The waterline will be extended through the site as a 12 inch trunk line in J.52nd Avenue to Sunfish Lake Boulevard and south along the east side of Sunfish Lake Boulevard to the southwest comer of the development area. The 12 inch line will be jack- bored under Sunfish Lake Boulevard for extension in the future. All other streets in the development will receive either a 6 or 8 inch lateral waterline. All proposed lots will receive a 1 inch service extension. I I I I I I I I ! I i I I ! I ! I I I
