I I I Council Meeting Minutes April 26, 1994 Page 5 Public Hearing. continued Tom Bertrau, 660 - 23rd Ave., noted the sloping driveway on his residence and asked if it would be modified. Proper said staff will review his driveway situation . to help alleviate the steep slope. Any modifications will be replace with in-kind materials. Benke noted that the final plans and specifications will be presented to Council at a later date. Residents should contact staff in regards to special circumstances. Proper said that any residents who suspect problems with their sanitary sewer lines should make arrangements to have these corrected before construction begins. Terry Row, 187 - 7th St., asked what the reasoning was for the decision to use the forcemain as a gravity sewer. Proper said the Army chose that option because it was least expensive. The only option Proper opposed was putting the watermain through the forcemain. Proper felt that this option was more expensive and would be difficult to detect damaged areas. Mr. Row asked what is the expected life of 7th St. Proper noted an overlay which was done about 5 years ago, and expects a reconstruction project in about 7 years. Mr. Row asked if the continuing drainage problems will be corrected. Proper said the interim drainage solutions have worked, but the need for the storm sewer is apparent. Benke noted that the net cost to the City for either using the forcemain or installing a new storm sewer is about the same. Proper feels the selected option is more practical. Proper noted that a monthly newsletter will be mailed to inform residents of the ongoing construction process. There were no additional comments from the audience.

The deferment means that the City does not levy the assessment, but that the assessment would be due with interest when the property is sold.
