We are w iting to provide additional information on the proposed Green ,~, Acres St rm Sewer System. We reported to the Council on four (4) i alternate methods in a letter report dated July 23, 1975. As a result ''"-'' of the Au ust 5, 1975 Council meeting, I agreed to investigate additional methods f providing the needed storm sewer service. RECOM ENDED STORM SEWER SYSTEM mend a combination of open ditches and underground storm sewers to provide permanent storm drainage system for the Green Acre Area. The pro- posed pl n is shown on the attached Figure No. 5 Recommended Storm Sewer System. The prop sed shallow open ditch between Ivywood Street and Heather Street Northwes will provide needed surface drainage to eliminate standing water in individ a1 sewage disposal system locations. The proposed open ditch (3-4 foot epth) through the Block between Heather Street Northwest and Dahlia St eet Northwest will provide an outlet for the entire area. A future pond coul be constructed in the same location as the proposed ditch. The prop sed underground pipe system on Heather Street Northwest from a point 35 feet south of 142nd Avenue Northwest to 142nd Lane Northwest will provi e needed outlet for both 142nd Avenue Northwest and 142nd Lane Northwes . Open ditches (5 -6 feet depth) in this area would be too deep to be accept ble in a residential area. ,-, \ f '-- '....'. ~, -~ , ~ . ,- Andover 'Ci y Council - August 19. 975 Page Two With the pr posed storm sewer system the existing street ditches should be cleaned to rovide proper drainage or should be filled and the streets regraded to provide f r "cleaning up" of the boulevards. We have pr pared a separate cost estimate for the necessary street reconstruction consisting f lowering the street approximately 1 foot, removing the culv'erts and placing 32 f ot wide gravel surfacing. This method of street construction appears mÇ>re feasi le in an u:rban area than the open ditch - culvert system normally used in rur 1 residential areas. However, e have prepared a preliminary cost estimate for regrading the existing ditches to p ovide proper surface drainage. ended project costs including 100/0 contingencies and 150/0 engineering, ministrative cost is: Storm Sewe $30,000 -~ Street Reco struction $ 35, 700 '"-,, Street Ditc Regrading $ 13, 000 ALTERNA ES METHODS The alterna e storm sewer method previously discussed in our July 23, 1975 report were as fol ows: Alt. No. Project Description Est. Cost 1. Co plete Open Ditch System w/reshaping st eet ditches $ 23,800 2. Co p1ete unde rground system w /0 street re onstruction $ 65,000 3. Ope ditch in SE Area and partial underground sy tem draining west w /reshaping street ditches $ 39,500 4. Ope ditch, system as in Alt. 1 except add 18" pipe th ough easement from Heather Street NW to Da lia Streetw/reshaping street ditches $ 42,800 PROJECT INANCING We entire amount to the benefited property owners. ,~, , , '-' (a) Sewers ·~~, - . _. - Andover Ci y Council August 19, 1975 Page Three Separ te storm sewer project is usually assessed on an area basis. The bound ries of the drainage area are determined and each lot within the bound ries is assessed for their area which drains into the system. The reen Acres benefited areas is approximately 970,000 square feet or 22 ac es. The e timated cost per square foot for this proposed construction is $30,0 0/970,000 SF = $.031. For a 110 foot by 165 foot lot the proposed asses ment would be $570.00. Assessments can be paid in full, or paid on an installment basis with property taxes over a 15 year period.' The annua charges would be based on an 8% annual interest rate. (b) Stree Reconstruction The s reet reconstruction is usually assessed on a front footage basis. The ~ propo ed regarding and gravelling of the streets would include approximately ,----,' 6,600 front feet. The e timated cost per front foot is $35,700/6, 600FT = $5.40. RECOMME DA nON It is our re ommendation that the Council take the necessary action to have a public hearing to resent the information contained in this report to the property owners in the Green Acres Area.
