He estimated the Birchwood Ponds assessment would be $350 per unit and $650 for the Windsor Green units. Issues raised at recent neighborhood meetings were noted. The City would be addressing the grade transition of Windsor Court at County Road E, along with drainage collection in problem areas near tennis court while also increasing the turning radii within the cul -de -sacs. Public Works Director Wyffels discussed there had been several water main breaks in the proposed project area and that Staff was interested in placing the existing utility lines underground. Staff requested the Council initiate an additional Feasibility Study to review the underground Xcel Power lines, to relocate the existing watermain from Silver Lane to Windsor Lane and to reconstruct the existing concrete sidewalk. This additional study would be reviewed with the Council at their April 23ni.
