• • temporary water service agreements, which represent 69 % of the 35 lots which may benefit from this project. The owners of 3 lots on 2''m Square SW paid for the installation of their own water line and were provided service in July 1997, and are not included. Although the streets in Forest Lake are private, the certificate of plat dedicates a perpetual easement for utility services. The properties are typically 0.50 of an acre plus or minus, exceptions include lots as small as 0.43 to as large as 0.72 acre. The largest lot has only 63.98 feet of street frontage; whereas typical lots have from 125 to 140 feet of frontage,(one having more than 180 feet.) Staff is proposing an equalization, by not assessing any lot for more than 0.50 acre.
