NOTES OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
HELD MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1973
I joined this meeting already in progress. They had asked me to estimate
the cost of the watermain and sanitary sewer to the Tom Reuter property
between 1st and Znd Streets from Spring to Ashland Streets.
Estimated Cost for 1973 Construction for W. 2nd Street Alley watermain
from Spring to Ashland Streets
Strengthening main in Spring Street, gnd Street to
the alley:
Sanitary Sewer and force main:
Lift Station - estimated cost
$9,35(:,. O0
$6, 577.00
15, 000.00 (plus or minus)
25, 500.00 (plus or minus)
As a comparison, the 4th Street Lift Station, which is a package unit being
replaced at Wilson Park is $41, 000. 00 plus or minus.
The engineer stated that there may be some alternatives to servicing the four
lots owned by Mr. Reuter if we were talking about a limited system, there is
a possibility that a sewage lift station and sewer line could be constructed
in the northern portion of the lots which would be in fill and outside of the rock
areas as part of the unreasonable high cost due to the fact that the rock formations
in that area are basically to the surface, having bored the alley, the rock for-
mation appears to be one foot to one-half foot below the present ground surface.
We can eliminate the rock excavation from the estimated project, the cost could
be reduced.
Also returned to discuss the 5-Year Capital Improvements Program, but the
meeting had been adjourned. Mr. Tanner will have full minutes of this meeting
at a later date.
Completed our meeting at approximately 9:30 P.M.
