Title
Approval of Outside Sewer Connection Request for 585, 595, & 623 Prentice Street
Body
SUMMARY: The Crossville Housing Authority has requested the annexation of three homes they own along Prentice Street. They have some issues with the septic systems at these residences and are requesting annexation for the purpose of connection to the City’s sewer system. In order to connect these houses to the City’s sewer system, a mainline sewer extension would be required. The extension is approximately 1220 feet to reach all three properties. If annexed, the Housing Authority would only be responsible for the material cost and any tap, grinder pumps, taxes and other fees. The cost to them would be $3,291.17 in material cost with an additional $4,363.59 per lot for Tap Fee, Grinder Pump, Taxes, and Fees. However, the total cost of extending the line would be, $25,059.17, of which the city would have to pay the difference, or $21,768.
Staff recommended the denial of annexation, but recommended the approval of outside city sewer. If outside city sewer is approved, the Housing Authority would be required to pay the total cost of the extension, $25,059.17, which includes all materials, labor, and equipment, plus the per lot expense.
Crossville Regional Planning Commission met October 18 and voted to recommend denial of annexation but approval of outside City sewer.
