The Department of Utility Services staff has completed design of the water distribution <br /> system . <br /> 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 2 "d 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) . Staff is proposing equalization, by not assessing any lot for more than <br /> 0. 50 acre. (See ATTACHMENTS : 2 - Plat map which displays the area to benefit from <br /> the assessment project, and 4 - Schedule of Properties ) . <br /> This project is to be paid through the assessment of property owners along the proposed <br /> water line route . Funding will be from the Assessment Fund No . 473 -000- 169 - 501 . 00 . <br /> The total estimated projects cost, and amount to be assessed , including engineering and <br /> administration, is $ 191 ,548 . 51 . The estimated assessment cost per square foot is <br /> $ 0 .255075 (rounded) . (See ATTACHMENTS : 4 - Schedule of Properties , and 5 - <br /> Preliminary Assessment Roll . ) <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County <br /> Commissioners approve the attached resolution III , which affirms the preliminary <br /> assessment roll on the subject property. <br /> LIST OF ATTACHMENTS : <br /> 1 .
