Title
Approval of Sewer Line Extension on Short Road
Body
SUMMARY: Property owner Anthony Findley has requested a sewer line extension along Short Road. The property Mr. Findley has purchased was recently annexed into the City of Crossville. The length of the extension is approximately 425 feet, to be installed on the western right-of-way of Short Road. Since the property is inside the City, the property owner is responsible for the material cost of the mainline utility extension. Attached is the cost sheet, prepared by the City’s Utility Maintenance Department. Per the City’s Utility Extension Ordinance, the material cost that the property owner is responsible for is calculated on the minimum need for the owner. In this case, a 2-inch low pressure sewer line would meet the needs of the owner. Since the City is projecting the sewer line to eventually be extended the length of Short Road, a 4-inch line is preferable for the City. The cost difference between the 2-inch line and 4-inch line falls to the City. The material cost for Mr. Findley is $1,269.88. The total cost of the project is $13,761.65, which would mean the cost to the City is $12,491.77. Mr. Findley would be required to pay the City of Crossville the $1,269.88 before any work would be done.
Crossville Regional Planning Commission met on 11/16/2017 and recommended approval of the utility extension.
Recommended Action
NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION: Approve a sewer mainline extension of 425 feet on Short Road at the cost projected by City staff.
