CASE # PUBLIC HEARING ON IMPROVEMENT PROJECT #02-40 SANITARY SEWER WATERMAIN AND STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS TO OAK TERRACE ESTATES MOBILE HOME PARK By: Steven J. Jankowski, City Engineer Background: On November 8, 2002 a petition from Oak Terrace Estates, was presented to the City Cotmcil requesting that a study be prepared which would determine the feasibility of extending city sewer and water services to this mobile home trailer park located along T.N. 10. Attached to this case is a copy of the feasibility study which outlines the above improvements. Notice has been sent to the benefited property owner. Oak Terrace Estates Mobile Flome Park, as required by City Code and Minnesota Statues Chapter 429 along with a copy of the feasibility study. Thc project proposes a ten inch sanitary sewer be extended to the site from the manhole located approximately 100 feet west of Sunfish Lake Boulevard within the Sunfish Commons convenience strip mall. The proposed sanitary sewer will be constructed to City standards, including adequate drainage and utility easements to service the system. Thc City utility will be responsible for the maintenance of all facilities constructed to City standards. Any additional sewer-lines beyond those constructed to City standards will remain private sewers which will be the maintenance responsibility of Oak Terrace. All of the existing septic tanks and cesspools which lie adjacent to the railroad tracks will bc abandoned in conjunction with sanitary sewer installation. The remaining on-site facilities will be properly abandoned by Oak Terrace within twelve months of the sanitary sewer installation. Municipal water service would be extended from the eight-inch watermain which presently terminates just beyond the southeastern comer of Oak Terrace. The eight-inch waterline would be extended through the existing service drive which runs north of and parallel to the Highway 10 right-of-way. A six-inch service stub will be installed up to the existing well house. A reduced pressure back flow preventor and a service meter will bc placed between the City system and the Oak Terrace system which will remain private. The City shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the six and eight water system, fire hydrant valves and the water meter. Oak Terrace will be responsible for the abandonment of its well, and operation and maintenance of its private distribution system and the backflow preventor. Drainage and utility easements must be dedicated to the City over all areas necessary to service the public watermains. Tim existing drainage system is proposed to be replaced with four storm manholes and 630 feet of 12 to 24 inch storm pipe which would transmit the runoff into the stormwater pond which is located immediately east of Oak Terrace.
