TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DATE: MAY 15, 1987 THRU: CHARLES P. BALCZUN COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR VIA: TERRANCE G. PINTO TP/W,, DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES FROM: JEFFREY A. BOONE ENGINEERING OPERATIONS MANAGER SUBJECT: PETITION FOR WATER SYSTEM EXPANSION ON 47TH AVENUE IN GLENDALE LAKE ESTATES SUBDIVISION BACKGROUND The Division of Utility Services has received a petition to extend the water system along 47th Avenue in the Glendale' Lake Estates Subdivision. The original petition consisted of 7 of 131or 54 -percent of the benefitted property owners in favor of the water line extension on 47th Avenue to 9th Place. However, the Division of Utility Services feels it necessary to continue the line extension west on 9th Place to 48th Avenue to connect into the line recently installed on 48th Avenue by means of a similar petition project, thereby completing a -looped system for the subject project. It will be possible to serve three additional residences by completing this loop. These three residences have expressed interest in participating in the petitioned project and their signatures on the petition are being solicited by the neighborhood representative. At the time of this writing two additional signatures have been added to the petition by residents on 9th Place between 47th Avenue and 48th Avenue for a total of 9 of 16 or 56 percent of the benefitted property owners in favor of the project. ANALYSIS The petition water extension project on 48th Avenue is' nearing completion at this time, and with the current petition to extend water service along 47th Avenue, approximately ones, -third of the residents on the Glendale Lake Estates Subdivision will be served by the County's water system. It appears that due to similar water quality problems experienced by the residents in the surrounding areas, the County may very well expect subsequent petitions for water system expansion elsewhere in the subdivision. As an alternate to proceeding with the current petition for 47th Avenue, it may be prudent for the County to investigate the feasibility of extending the water distribution system throughout the subdivision. Such was one of the recommendations of Mr. Jack Pearce who acted as the neighborhood representative for 47th Avenue petition. RECOMMENDATION The Division of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the preparation of detailed cost estimates for engineering and construction as well as engineering design plans and specifications for the water system expansion along 47th Avenue and 9th Place between 47th Avenue and 48th Avenue in the Glendale Lake Estates Subdivision and to prepare a preliminary assessment roll based on these estimates. Furthermore, the Division of utility Services requests that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the investigation of the feasibility of expanding the County's water system throughout the Glendale Lake Estates Subdivision by developing preliminary budget estimates for engineering.and construction costs. l MAY 2 6 1981 49 _ BOOK
