BACKGROUND A petition has been received from the residents of 114th Lane, Rousseau River Shores, requesting the County supply potable water to its residents. In 1993 a petition was acted on and a sewer systen was installed by assessment. County water was not available at that time. Later this year a water line will be installed along Indian River Drive, which will allow Rousseau River Shores subdivision, the availability of County Water. We are now coming to the Board of County Commissioners to seek approval to begin design of the above-mentioned project. (See attachments I - Plat Map, and 2 — Petition 3- Schedule of properties). ANALYSIS There are 9 platted residential lots. which may benefit from this proposed water line on 114' Lane. The 8 owner's signatures. on the petition represent 89 % of the owners supporting this project. The properties vary in size, the smallest being 0.16 of an acre, the largest 0.79 of an acre. Typical lot sizes are approximately 0.25 acre. Due to the disproportionate lot sizes Staff is recommending an equalization, with 0.50 of an acre being the maximum square footage for any single lot to be assessed. The attached map (EXHIBIT -1) displays the area to benefit from the assessment project. Tlus project is to be paid through the assessment of property owners along the proposed water line route. Funding will be from the assessment fund No. 473. Design services will be provided by the Department of Utility Services. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends approval of the above -listed project. and requests authorization for the Department to proceed with the design engineering work and award a contract for survey services through the issuance of a purchase order based on the most favorable quote, in preparation for the special assessment project.
