CHASKA ROAD WATERMAIN IlœROVElillNT PROJECT (Formerly Ches-Mar Drive)
Acting Mayor Neveaux called the public hearing to order with the following
interested persons present:
Clark Horne, 7608 Erie Avenue
Curt Robinson, 202 West 77th Street
Frank Reese, 6400 Chaska Road
Bill Swearengin, 6250 Chaska Road

John Gleason, 6285 Chaska Roàd
Russell Larson
Bill Brezinsky
Mayor Hobbs came at 8:40 p.m. As a part of the Council consideration of
the Sommer subdivision and the Sweiger subdivision, staff had notàd
that public water should be considered and be available to these properties.
Mr. Gleason is now building a home in the Sweiger subdivision. The
Council ordered this public hearing to determine general support or
opposition to this project.
The feasibility study includes extending a six inch watermain along Chaska
Road from Melody Hill Road north to the Shorewood City line. At a future
time this line could be extended' to connect to the line in Melody
Hill Road. The total estimated cost of construction and all related costs
is $29,702. A total of twelve units could be assessed at a unit cost
of $2,475. In addition, since this area was furnished trunk sewer with
the North Service Area and these units were deferred, on the issuance of
a building permit or upon connection, an additional charge of $380 plus
seven percent interest from the date of the original assessment in 1973
would be levied. for a total cost of $2,915 per unit.
Richard Nicoli - You mentioned a return line that would make a circle
to Melody Hill Road.
Bill Brezinsky - We prefer to have all our lines looped. That gives added
dependability and also gives better circulation. What
we are showing here is a dead end line. That means the
water will sit in the line and it has to be flushed
periodically by opening up a hydrant which releases the
water and cleans the line. What w~wQBld propose is
hhat in the future when subdivision of the Sommer's
property comes through, I think it will be to the benefit
of this land to extend this water line and connect it
to Melody Hill Road.
Council Meeting September 5, 1978
-2-
Councilman Neveaux - Don't we have a dead end now on the north end
of Murray Hill?
Bill Brezinsky - Yes.
Councilman Neveaux - Isn't it closer to go from Murray Hill Road over I
.to Chaska Road?
Bill Brezinsky - It would be closer but there would be absolutely no
benefit to anybody. There would be no lateral benefit.
This would be strictly a cost that would have to be
paid for out of the trunk fund.
Bill Swearengin - Have you considered the possibility of just running
the water up to Lot C?
Bill Brezinsky - There is that possibility, yes. You are talking of a
higher cost because of the smaller project.
Frank Reese - It is our intent not to develop' that at this time. There
wouldn't be any benefit to us to have this water line.
What you are asking for is to put about 1,000 feet of
line in there when there is an immediate need for say
300 feet.
Bill Swearengin - We have no intent to split ours or develop any
of it right now.
Robert Sommer - How do you assess this? Would this be a deferred assessment?
Mayor Hobbs - It would be an immediate assessment.
Councilman Neveaux - It would not be assessed until 1979, payable in
1980.
Robert Sommer - What would the cost be to extend the line to Murray
Hill?
Bill Brezinsky - That cost would be approximately $10,000 and in that
$10,000 we are talking about acquiring easements.
Robert Sommer - Have you been in contact with Shorewood as to what
their plans are.
Bill Brezinsky - For the last six years we have been talking to them
about getting these lines looped and apparently there
is no interest.
