The attached Notice of Hearing is the notice required by State
t inform you of a hearing concerning certain public improvements :

s tisfy the various requirements of bonding attorneys. The facts <
f'gures as stated in the notice include some details not applicable
a 1 home-owners. The plans cover all aspects of the proposed proje
b t the practical affect of the project and Council policies conce�
s ch improvements are not explained in the official notice.
I am taking this opportunity to briefly outline some findings
o servations of staff people. In acldition, I am including some po
p actices that your elected officials have used in assessing prior
p oject costs. Z'he attached notice lists the total estimated cost
s veral improvements but does not advise you of the anticipated ho
c st impact. The following comments reflect past assessing practi

The hearing is being conducted by the City Council members to eceive
c mments in an official and orderly manner. Obviously, before you an
r spond in an intelligent and knowledgeable manner, you must have idea
o the cost and any other effects this project would have on you an your
p operty.� Please consider the following statements.
Basically the project consists of street reconstruction and s
provements. Past experience has proven that without proper drai
cilities, permanent streets that are constructed using the best
nstruction will fail long before their expected life. As a resu
oposal includes drainage improvements and permanent street const
e Council is considering the installation of a storm sewer colle
stem that will eliminate the unsatisfactory drainage ditches and
rmanently place most of the run-off in an underground pipe syste
ncrete curb and gutter is proposed on the streets in order to ch
e water into catch basins and thereby protect the permanent surf
ce it is installed.
The cost estimates reflect the cost of streets with concrete c
d gutters. The feasibility and cost study, prepared by the City
dicates that permanent bituminous streets with concrete curb and
11 cost approximately $25.00 per assessable foot. This includes
storation and shaping of boulevards, by grading, seeding and sod�
der to make a complete, finished project.

: is anticipated that this cost could be spread on tax payments o er a -
:n year period at 7� interest on the unpaid balance. The anticip ted cost
= the storm sewer collector system will, in all probability, amo t to well
rer $0.07 per square foot. However, when the several contributin entities
iamely Mendota Heights public streets, county roads and state hig ways) are
�nsidered and absorb their proportion of the benefit, it is antic'pated that
ie cost to the home-owner will be approximately $0.06 per square oot (this
:ans $0.06 for each square foot of lot area for your property). his could
: spread on tax payments over a nineteen year period at 7� intere t on the
ipaid balance.
The official notice includes other cost estimates. The small r amounts
hich include sewer and water services are applicable only to seve al special
ots on Sprinq Street and John Street and any other undeveloped va ant lots.
figure of $100,000 is included in the estimated cost for future 'mprovements
ownstream in the valley. It is necessary that this be included a part of this
earing because the additional fast run-off will require future im rovements.
t is anticipated that these "downstream" improvements will not be assessed
gainst the properties included in this project.
I trust that the foreqoinq information will give you a brief xplanation
f the practical and most likely form of cost impact if the projec is ordered
n. As most of you know, it is the City Council's duty and obliga ion to plan
nd build public facilities to serve the residents of the communit . Your
esponse and your comments at the hearing will aid the Council me ers in
aking a decision as to the need and urgency of these improvements. ,
