NEW BUS INESS CONNECTION COSTS FOR BARNETT GARDEN APARTMENTS ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF GEARY ROAD AND PIEASANT HILL ROAD Mr. Dalton, representing Mr. Horstkotte, District Manager-Engineer, stated that the original property on which the Barnett Garden Apartments is being planned was assessed ten units of assesBment, or $2,420.00. Seven parcels have since been sold off, leaving about 5.2 acres. Mr. Dalton stated that existing downstream lines in the area had limited capacity. ~ '_J To handle the proposed ninety two-bedroom, single bath, living units proposed, it would be necessary to install approximately 1,700 feet of eight- inch sewer to reach sufficient capacity. Mr. Dalton stated that he and Mr. Horstkotte had discussed a contribution by the District of $7,500.00 toward the estimated cost of installing the 1,700 feet of eight-inch line, estimated to cost $14,000.00, to a point of sufficient capacity. Mr. Dalton further stated that the area was part of the We,tershed 23 planning. President Mitchell stated that the subject property was within the Sanitary District and Watershed planning should be confined to properties outside of the Sanitary District boundaries. President Mitchell and Member Roemer stated they felt the property should be considered in the same manner as a subdivision installing sewers under Ordinance 25. ~ Member Roemer stated that, allowing credit for the seven parcels already sold off of the original parcel and allowing credit for other units against the original assessment of ten units of $242.00 each, or a total of $2,420.00, and figuring seventy-five units at $200.00 each, would approximate the cost of . installing the line and compare favorably with the original assessment unit of $242.00 and more favorably than recent assessment district costs. , ) Member Gibbs stated that he felt the staff proposal was inadequate and not equitable to the rest of the District. President Mitchell and Member Gibbs stated that the cost of installing the 1,700 feet of eight-inch line required by the District working out at $200.00 per unit for seventy-five of the ninety proposed was fair when considering the original unit cost in the assessment district and the cost of obtaining sewers today by assesBment proceedings. Member Roemer stated that the Board in the discussions has heard no arguments against the equity of the proposal to handle as a subdivision under Ordinance 2.5. Mr. Nakahara, architect representing the developer, stated that, along with the connection fees and other costs, there might not be sufficient means to go ahead. r"""\ After discussion, it was moved by Member Sa1fingere, seconded by Member Gibbs, that the developer of Barnett Garden Apartments be required to install approximately 1,700 feet of eight-inch line subject to rebate under Ordinance 25 and pay the connection charges under Ordinance 33 and other normal District charges. Carried by the following vote: AYES: Members: NOES: Members: .ABSENT: Members: Gibbs, Roemer, Salfingere, Bowman and Mitchell None None Member Roemer explained to Mr. Nakahara that, if the estimated cost for the 1,700 feet of eight-inch line proved to be higher than $14,000.00, he could came back to the District Board for further discussion.
