Title
Approval of sewer line extension to 794 Genesis Road
Body
SUMMARY: The owner of the property located at 794 Genesis Road has requested a sewer line extension. There is a developer that is wishing to purchase the property for the purpose of constructing multifamily apartments. There is an existing gravity sewer line located approximately 300 feet to the south of the property along Genesis Road. City staff is proposing a low-pressure sewer line installation instead of continuing the gravity. The low-pressure line would need to cross the proposed multifamily development to allow any requests for connections to the property to the north of the proposed development. A 2-inch low pressure line would be sufficient for the proposed development as well as any development to the north. The total extension will be approximately 480 feet of 2-inch low pressure sewer line. Under the Main Line Extension ordinance (18-107) the property owner/developer of the multifamily development would be responsible for the total cost of the sewer line extension. The cost estimate for the extension is $5,798.20. The developer may pay the City for the install, install the line themselves, or hire someone to install the line. A financial guarantee in the amount of the estimate plus 10% would need to be provided to the City if the work is not completed by the City. The financial guarantee would expire 12 months from the time it is accepted.
Easements may need to be acquired for the sewer line extension. If the developer cannot obtain them and the City must obtain them, then the developer must pay the city $3,442.00 for the easements.
The Crossville Regional Planning Commission recommends approval of this extension.
