The meeting was adjourned at 11:07pm CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota September 23, 1974 Detail of public hearing on utilities to serve White Oak Ridge, Knottywoods and Ross Additions held September 23, 1974, at 8:05 p.m. Robert Rosene said some property owners along the lake on 132nd Street asked whether the sewer laterals could be run along the rear of the lots since some of them have septic tanks located there and the homes are set back quite far from the street. He estimated service along the rear of the lots would cost approxi- mately $850 more than service installed in the street because the laterals would only serve one side. He also said maintenance of the lateral lines would be more difficult because equipment would have to be brought on the lots if any repairs were required. Also, easements would have to be acquired from all the property owners on that side of the street. Mrs. Ralph Johnson and Mrs. Richard Corrington, who live on Embry Way, said aside from not wanting water and sewer service (as stated in the petition), they also do not want Embry Way to become a public street. The Mayor asked for questions or comments from those in favor of the project along 132nd Street. Henry Zelenka said he thought rear service could be only for those lots along the lake and not the entire cul de sac. He also asked how far apart the manholes would be, about 300 to 500 feet. Councilman Garrison questioned serving only the lot owned by Lynn Thompson, he was told that lot could be served from Greenleaf 9th Addition with water but not sewer. Ken Nelson asked what the water pressure would be, 35 to 40 pounds. Lloyd Petrie said he was neutral except he is planning to sell his home in December and if the project is approved, how much and when would the assessments be levied? He was told bids could be let this winter and construction would begin in the spring the project would be assessed in the Fall of 1975. Clerk Asleson commented that if the project were ordered now, the assessments would be considered pending for cases where homes might be sold before the assessments are actually levied. Joe Brabec, who owns Lot 10, asked about the method of assessment. Clerk Asleson said on a front footage basis for laterals, but in the case of irregular shaped lots, the footage would be equilized and usually not assessed on more than 100 front feet. Mr. Zelenka asked about street improvements, he was told they are now gravel and would remain the same unless the residents requested improvements. Clarence Petter, who owns an acreage, asked about assessments and drainage. Mr. Rosene said though the costs are high now, they probably will be higher in the future. All the drainage is into Long Lake including the new additions. Ken Nelson asked if people would be required to hook up after the laterals were installed. Clerk Asleson said City Ordinance requires hook up in two years after sewer is available or when a second septic tank pumping is necessary. He also asked what size water pipe would be used. Mr. Rosene said i inch and a four-inch sewer pipe and there would be fire hydrants installed. Also the lower part of 132nd Street could be served without serving the cul de sac. Mr. Zelenka asked about pollution of the lake and whether this would require sewer, he was told that possibly, in the future, it could. The Mayor called for a show of hands to determine those in favor, none; those op- posed eight; and those neutral, three. He said nothing would be decided tonight and Mr. Zelenka was appointed spokesman for the group and would be notified when this item would be considered.
