The Public Hearing was called to order by Mayor Al Klingelhutz with all Councilmen present. The following members of the Public were present: Mr. & Mrs. Willard Johnson - 1660 W. 63rd St. Mr. & Mrs. Vernon Peterson - Rt. 1 Box 122 Dale H. Collins - Rt. 1 Box 114 T.J. Dwyer - Rt. 1 Box 586G J.D. Hardy - Rt. 1 Box 586A Robert Overn - Rt. 1 Box 586J Lee R. Anderson - Rt. 1 Box 839 Walter Hobbs III - Rt. 4 Box 924 Gail L. STone - Rt. 7 Box 747 The notice of Public Hearing as published in the Carver County Sun was read by the Clerk-Administrator. It was also determined that notice of the Public Hearing had been mailed to all property owners within the proposed Project area. Mr. William J. Brezinsky of the firm of Schoell & Madson, Inc., Village Engineers, presented the Engineering Feasibility Report as well as a map showing the location of the proposed project and the manner in which the existing homes and vacant lots would be served. He advised that the pro- posed improvement conforms with the Village's overall plan and would serve a necessary part of the Sewer and Water system that would serve the present- ly undeveloped area in Chanhassen, North of Highway #7. He also brought out that it·would be possible to expand this system to serve that part of Victoria East of the Railroad and North of Highway #7. Mr. Brezinskyadvised that the Preliminary past study indicated that the service area included 50 potential assessment units, including six existing dwellings and thirteen vacant platted lots. He further advised that the total estimated costs of construction and Engineering, Legal and Administrative and Contingency's would amount to $116,500.00 or $2,330.00 compared to the average lateral cost of $3,780.00 in the North Area. Not included in these costs were the Sewer and Water hook up charges totaling $700.00. Mr. Brezinsky also gave a preliminary time table with the taking the bids on February 1, 1973 which would be considered by the Council at its meeting on February 5, 1973, with construction commencing two weeks there- after and an estimated completion date of April 15, 1973. Mr. Dale Collins expressed his concern owners of undeveloped lots in the area would probably not pay their taxes and assessments that the lots would ultimately be sold for taxes. He sited the instance at Island Park where this had happened and where land speculators came in later and picked up the lots for as low as $800.00. PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES - January 8, 1973 NORTH AREA SEWER AND WATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 73-1 -2- Mr. Vern Peterson expressed his concern about financing of the Project considering the fact that there were so few improved lots in the proposed area. I AfËer some discussion by members of the Council and the Public it was determined that further study should be made by the Engineers of the feasibility of providing Sanitary Sewer and Water to the proposed improvement area. Thereupon, upon motion duly made, seconded and carried it was moved that the Public Hearing be continued to Monday, January lS, 1973 at 7:00 p.m. at the Village Hall. I ~ I
