CONSIDER SELECTION OF NW TRUNK SANITARY SEWER ALTERNATIVE By; Brian Olson, Assistant Director of Public Works Background: Thc City has been considering five alternative routes for the extension of sanitary sewer service to an area known as the Northwest area which has petitioned for this service. This area is illustrated in the attached figure. Following review of public comment and of the adwmtages and disadvantages of each alternative, the City Council concurred with staff recommendation at a work session held on March 15, 2005 that Option No. 3 (illustrated on the figure) be selected as the alignment to be considered in conjunction with this sewer extension request. On December 6, 2004, the City Council directed staff to implement a public participation program in conjunction with the proposal to extend sanitary sewer in this area, and the City held an informational meeting with residents that could be impacted by all the potential sewer alignments that could serve this area on February 7, 2005. During the Council work session held on March 15, 2005 the Council reviewed the public comments that had been received relative to the alternative alignments. The consensus of the Council in continuing the public involvement component of this process was to direct staff' to prepare two letters. One letter would be distributed to all those that attended the February open house informing them that the preferred alignment, Option No. 3, has bccn selected. The other letter would be sent to those property owners affected by this selected alignment informing them that this route has been chosen and informing them of a £ollow up informational meeting. Recommendation: Staff recommends that Option No. 3 be selected for the extension of the sanitary sewer to the northwest area petitioning for sewer service, and that all open house attendees of February 7, 2005 be notified of this selection. Staff further recommends that residents contiguous to Option No. 3 be notified of this selection and that a follow up meeting be conducted with these property owners. Action: Motion to select Option No. 3 for the extension of the sanitary sewer to the northwest area petitioning for sewer service, and that all open house attendees of February 7, 2005 be notified of this selection, and also that residents contiguous to Option No. 3 be notified of th is selection and that a follow up meeting be conducted with these property owners.
