. , - ~ • Page Two May 7, 1986 Block 759 3. Ordinance 759 allows for Council approval of such extensions providing they are feasible and practicable and funds are available. In the last few years, applicants for residential water line extensions have been required to pay for a 2" line and the City has paid for a 6" or larger main if such main was required. Generally, applicants have deposited funds in City escrow, prior to construction, to cover their share of costs. A NALY SI S 1. The closest water main termination point to Block 759 is at the corner of 15th and "C" Streets, at the end of the existing 2" line. Extending the 2" line for Block 759 from that point is the most practical and economical route. 2. Extension of a 6" fire main down "B" or "C" Street (the exact route would be determined after a route survey is performed) is the most economical route for such an extension. It will improve fire protection for four existing homes and seven or more future homes in the area. A "B" Street line would also provide a loop for the 2" main which will improve pressure in the area. The cost to the City is under $600 per homesite served with fire protection. 3. Construction cost breakdowns for the 2" ($3400) and 6" ($6300) main extensions are shown in Exhibit "C". Design can be done by staff. CONCLUSION The petitioners have satisfied the conditions of Ordinance 759 for Council approval of their request. Extension of the 2" main on 15th Street is practicable, feasible, and economical. RECOMMENDATION Council to approve project in concept and to authorize staff to proceed with design and bidding stages and with a Utility Extension Agreement with the petitioners. Petitioners to deposit in City escrow prior to execution of design 50~ of estimated cost of construction; 100 of estimated costs to be escrowed prior to start of construction.
