2. Public Hearing on the Lake Edgewood Water Project.
A. Presentation of project.
Lund estimated the cost of the project to be 2.3 million. Water will be supplied through the MHOG District. Kiefer estimated the interest rate on the bond sale at 5.50% over 20 years.
B. Call to property owner.
A call to the property owners was made with the following response: Kenneth Patterson - Will this district include residential properties along Grand River? Murray - Yes, but only those directly on Grand River. Dave Keller - I am opposed to the project. There are already good producing aquifers in this area. Based on the cost, a new well would be cheaper. Jarold Joseph - I am in favor of the project. Will trees be removed along Grand River? Lund - Yes, but they will be replaced as part of the project. Sandra Monet - I am opposed to the project. One month ago I purchased a new well. Keller - Are we required to hook up? Murray - There is no legal requirement to hook up to water. Keller - Has the engineering been let out to bid? Murray - Never in the past. We have retained MPS to do the engineering on these types of projects. Bob Haverel - I am in favor of the project for both of my properties. Patterson - I am in favor of the project.
3. Consideration of a request by Applebee's concerning the fee calculation for the proposed restaurant measuring 4518 square feet.
Griffin Weyforth - Please refer to our 10-01-99 letter asking for a refund of $35,200.00 for the water and sewer connection. We were originally advised that the rate would be calculated at 2.5 REU's. Murray - There were two different tables discussed, however, that was discussed at the 08-02-99 meeting and the minutes reflect that discussion that the cost would be higher. Weyforth - We did not have time to respond to that letter which was dated the same date as the meeting. The people at that meeting don't recall the discussion. In addition, a letter was not sent to us about the change. Murray - We cannot ask you to pay less than what other development in that district has paid.
