Public Hearing - Project 75-89. The Mayor called the public hearing for improvements for the Academy Village development to order at 7:03 p.m. and read the affidavit of publication. Mr. Rosene, the Engineer, reviewed the proposed improvements of sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer and street improvements. It is proposed to be done in two phases of $231,650 and $151,040 for a total of $382,690 plus previously installed trunks. Ail of the project will be assessed to the property. (Councilman Garrison attended at this time.) The Mayor called for any questions or comments from the Council and audience; there being none, the Mayor declared the hearing closed at 7:07 p.m. The Mayor reviewed the previous Council action on the Farquar area utility project. The storm sewer portion of the project was ordered at the special Council meeting of October 27th, 1975. Councilman Hayes said he requested recondiseration of this project because it would be less expensive to do the entire storm and sanitary sewer work at one time. Councilman Garrison said he attended a meeting of the Farquar Lake Homeowners November 9th and most of them felt the sanitary sewer protion did not need to be installed now if their homes could be served by the sewer pipe west of Farquar Lake. He also talked with Mr. Donahue, Attorney for the Camp Fire Girls, who said the extra burden of sanitary sewer assessments along with storm sewer assessments would probably force them to sell the property. Mr. Rosene reviewed the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan and said if the entire area north of Farquar Lake were served by the trunk in Pilot Knob Road, it would be overloaded. He feels the entire project should be installed now and sanitary sewer laterals could be installed in the future as needed. Councilman Garrison said the people in that area are opposed to sanitary sewer installation now and if it needs to be installed in the future at a higher cost, they are the ones who will suffer the consequences. Dorothy Anderson, President of the Camp Fire Girls, said they would not be able to pay the burden of the sanitary sewer assessment.
