ANALYSIS <br /> Of the 38 -platted residential lots in Forest Lake, there are 35 lots which may benefit from <br /> this proposed water main installation . The 24 owners requesting the installation of the <br /> county water system include 18 owner signatures on the petition, and 6 owner signatures <br /> on temporary water service agreements, representing 69 % of the 35 lots which may <br /> benefit from this project. The owners of 3 lots on 2nd Square SW, who paid for the <br /> installation of their own water lines and were provided service in July 1997 , are not <br /> included. <br /> Although the streets in Forest Lake are private , the certificate of plat dedicates a <br /> perpetual easement for utility services . <br /> The properties are typically 0 . 53 of an acre , plus or minus . Exceptions include lots as <br /> small as 0 . 43 to as large as 0 . 72 acre . The largest lot has only 63 . 98 feet of street <br /> frontage , whereas typical lots have from 125 to 140 feet of frontage ( one having more <br /> than 180 feet ) .
