They request City cost participation in the project as an <br />exception to standard utility extension policy. No development plan <br />for the property has been submitted to the City. The minimum size <br />main is 8" and routes are available from the north and the west at a <br />cost of $23,000 to $27,000. Staff recommends no City cost <br />participation in the project and no reduction in the minimum allowable <br />size of water main. <br />BACKGROUND <br />1. Informal discussions with Mr. Al Ward, representing Decker McKim <br />Realtors, resulted in letters from the owners June 12 and July 3 <br />(See Exhibits A and B) requesting water service to their property <br />with City participation. No participation formula has yet been <br />proposed by the applicants. <br />2. Standard City utility extension policies require that the <br />developer fund the entire cost of a minimum size fire main, with <br />some reimbursement via future collections of front-foot fees (See <br />Exhibit C). <br />3. The minimum size fire main to serve this proposed commercial <br />development is 8" (See Exhibit D). <br />4. This property can be served via an extension from existing water <br />mains located in the right of ways of North 16th, B, or 8th <br />Streets or Fairmont Parkway. (See Exhibit E) <br />
