INTRODUCTION T~e City will be entering into an agreement with James D. and Pamela S. Deal for the deigelopment of an Industrial Park located between the Burlington Northern Railroad and Trunk Highway gl0, approximately one-quarter mile west of County Road #57. The oWners have requested the sewer and water be extended to service the industrial park. This rePOrt is intended to examine the feasibility of this sewer and water extension and determine the estimated costs and assessments for these utilities. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING CONDITIONS The parcel proposed for the improvement is located approximately one-quarter mile west of the intersection of Highway #10 with County Road #57. Sanitary sewer will be available immediately north of the railroad tracks which border the north property line of the property as a result of a City project to extend sewer and water to the Anoka Electric Cooperative facility. Watermain is available at the intersection of Highway gl0 and County Road #57. DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS It is proposed that sanitary sewer be extended to the property by jacking a ten-inch sanitary seWer beneath the ri'acks of the Burlington Northern Railroad. Once the sanitary sewer is br°ught to the property, it will be extended eastward and westward along an easement running along the northern property line to the eastern and western boundaries of the pr°perty. The depth of the sewer will be held deep enough such that gravity sewer service can be extended to serve the properties between County Road #56 and County Road #57 from this sewer. An eight-inch watermain will be extended from the existing watermain located on the northwest corner of County Road #57 and Highway gl0. This watermain w!ll be installed with the right-of-way of Highway gl0 and will be extended past the Oak Terrace Estates Trailer Park and the Ed Hamilton residence to the subject property. Watermain will be extended through the length of the subject property within the drainage and utility easement along the northern right-of-way of Highway #10. Turf and drive entrances along Highway #10 will be restored. Turf in the areas east at the subject property will be restored with a minimum of four inches of topsoil, fertilizer and seed. The subject property will be restored with four inches of topsoil, seed and mulch. Drive entrances will be. restored in-kind. ESTIMATED PRO,IECT COST The estimated construction and project costs are summarized in Table 1. Detailed estimates are included in Appendix B. It is proposed that the jacking of the sanitary sewer beneath the railroad tracks and the extension of the watermain from County Road #57 to the eastern property line of the subject property will be considered trunk charges to be financed from the sewer and water trunk funds. Table 1 also indicates overhead costs at 30% of the construction costs as an allowance for engineering, legal, and other indirect costs. The allowance is comprised of the following components with the final cost of these items d~termined by actual costs: Engineering 10% Staking and Inspection 7% Fiscal and Legal 3% Administration 5% Contingencies 5% Total 30%
