Bacon, Jr. , City Manager SUBJECT: Extension of Watermain to Lakeland Heights Subdivision Items on the agenda for the meeting of Monday, December 4 , 1989 are three resolutions relative to the extension of watermain to the Lakeland Heights Subdivision. The proposed watermain extensions would be from Grove Road to Highland Avenue on Lakeland Road and Wheatland Road and from Turpin Road to Midland Road on Kathy Court (see attachment) . There are 75 property owners within the described boundary. The City presently has signed water agreements from 44 property owners, representing 59� of the total. The approximate cost of the above described extensions is $59,000 . Assuming an $11 per front foot tapping fee and double water rates, the proceeds from the properties which have indi- cated a wish to connect to the newly extended watermains should amount to approximately $61,500 over 10 years. ' The three resolutions regarding this matter accomplish the following, respectively; (1) makes the required statutory find- ing that a majority of the landowners in the area desire the ex- tensions of the mains , based upon water service agreements presently on file and approved by said resolution, and directs the City Manager and the Director of Public Works to construct the extensions; (2) approves a change order to City Project 8901 Division A - Watermain Extension Program, to accomplish the con- struction of the mains; and (3) authorizes the City Manager to permit abutting landowners who have not yet submitted water serv- ice agreements to tap onto the mains after they are constructed.
