No oversizing of the sewer or water mains for trunk service is required or proposed. The proposed watermain construction is directly from existing facilities to the single property served. It is proposed to assess all watermain costs to the benefitted parcel. The extension of sanitary sewer is adjacent to several currently unsewered parcels east of T.H. 47 located in the south half of Section 25, which properties can in the future connect directly to the sewer and receive benefit. It is recommended that the costs of the lateral sanitary sewer be allocated to potentially benefitted properties but assessed for current collection only against the property proposed for full utility service at this time. Those properties east of T.H. 47 would not be immediately benefitted since with water service not available, connection to the sewer would not be permitted. These~ properties would be subject to subsequent sanitary sewer assessments as per Chapter 210.012G of the City Code. Ail project costs are proposed to be funded by current lateral assessments and trunk assessments against the single 12+ acre parcel proposed to receive full utility service and benefits. The combination of assessment for lateral sewer and water costs plus the standard city assessment on a Residential Equivalent Connection basis for trunk sewer and water will exceed the total estimated project costs. The cost of project construction will be paid from these assessments. The portion of the total assessment in excess of project costs will be transferred to the city trunk sewer and water fund to pay previously incurred costs of trunk facilities. PROJECT FUNDING The city of Ramsey assessment ordinance and policy places cost responsibility for all lateral utilities upon the benefitted properties and in addition, provides for assessment of trunk sewer costs of $421.00 per residential equivalent connection (R.E.C.) and an assessment for watermain trunk, sewer and sewage costs of $936.00 per R.E.C. ($1,357.00 per R.E.C. total trunk assessment). The property to be served by the proposed utility extensions is an approximate 12 acre parcel zoned B-1. At the standard city rate of 5.5 R.E.C.'s per acre for B-1 property, the parcel is responsible for a total trunk assessment of $89,562.00 in addition to its proportionate share of lateral costs. Following is a cost summary showing the breakdown of costs between sewer and water and allocation of costs:
