(0720) Council Bill No. 670 - Levying assessments for sanitary sewer in area between a line 400 feet north of 1-105 and a line 850 feet south of Centennial Boulevard (extended) from east line of 1st Addition to Ayres Subdivision to 1200 feet west of Fairway Loop (extended) (73-06), read the first time on October 29, 1974 and c:.'referred to Assessment Panel for hearing on November 4, 1974, was brought back for consideration of Panel recommendations and read the second t~me by council bill number and title only, there being no councilman present requesting that it be read in full. Mrs. Campbell moved seconded by Mr. Murray that the bill be approved and given. final passage. Don Allen, public works; director, reiterated the staff's position for recommending assess- ment of the levy as proposed. He said data given the public works department by Pape' was used to establish the elevation of the connection and the lateral was designed to ~ permit connection of the private allowing twice the minimum.'f1ow required. ,. Don Furtick, 1705 Fairmount Boulevard, objected to paying for lateral cost assessed against (0761) property at the northwest corner of Centennial Boulevard and Centennial Loop in which he had an interest. It was his understanding that the people from whom he had bought the property had refused to participate in the cost of the sewer installed to serve the McKay subdivison. That line could also be used by the Furtick property. He contended that the ,line was installed at the private developer's cost, that its cost had been paid for quite some time, and that there was no reason at this time for the cost to be charged to him. If it was charged to his property, he said, the same criteria should be used in assessing the cost to all the other abutting properties. Mr. Allen displayed a sketch showing the sewer lines constructed by the city and the private (0809) line installed by McKay to city specifications. He explained the assessment proposed and said the private line was constructed so that any property annexing later could use that system. There was agreement at that time that no future assessment would be waived for any property within 160 feet of the line. The Furtick property, he said, gained con- nection and the city had no choice but to assess accordingly. In response to Manager, Mr. Allen said the Furtick property had never been assessed for sewer service and probably never would be unless for this particular project. In response to Mrs. Beal, Mr. Allen explained the McKay ownership on Centennial and said (O~ that in staff's opinion there were no double assessments involved. . - In resonse to Councilman McDonald, Mr. Allen pointed out on the sketch where the Furtick (0884) property was connected to the sewer line and explained the charges on the cost of a private line versus the lateral. Rollcall vote ,was taken on the motion to approve and pa?s the bill. Motion carried, all council members present voting aye, and the bill was declared passed and numbered 17198. :3~~ 11/12/74 - 18
