Regular City Council Meetrng <br />Nov. 12, 2001 <br />Page 3 <br />motion carried 6 ayes, 1 nay, Councilman Plata voting no. <br />Mayor Pfiester declared the public hearing open to consider levying <br />assessments on benefitted property for a portion of the cost of the expansion of <br />the sanitary sewer line extension for the Cope Addition, Suburban Estates <br />Addition, Golden Acre Addition, and certain tracts in the E. Crow Survey along <br />Meadowlark Street, Mockingbird Street, Cope Street, Pine Mill Road, Thomas <br />Drive, Welch Circle, and 46th Street N.E., thence southerly to tie into the <br />existing city collection system. <br />City Engineer Shawn Napier presented a visual presentation for this project. <br />He explained that this project started out with a petition being presented to the <br />City of Paris to bring sewer to Meadowlark Street, Mockingbird Street, and <br />Cope Street. Mr. Napier said in designing the project, the nearest sewer line <br />was a lift station located in the Morningside North Addition and that lift station <br />carried most of the southwest and south side of Highway 82. The sewer line <br />would go north all the way to Pine Mill Road and would intersect a small creek <br />crossing under Pine Mill Road and in that general area would extend east and <br />west, including Mockingbird Street, Meadowlark Street, and Cope Street. He <br />said that from this point the line would be extended east picking up Golden <br />Acre Addition and other houses on 46th Street. <br />Mr. Napier said that in computing the assessment, he used two different <br />methods. He said the first method was the tributary area method, where the <br />drainage area that included the area not served with sewer was estimated to be <br />approximately 170.5 acres. Mr. Napier said that he had computed <br />approximately 63 acres to be assessed in this drainage area. The percentage of <br />the assessment worked out to 37% of the drainage area which will be served by <br />this project and based on the 37%, that is how they levied the cost of the total <br />project and multiply that 37%, and that is how they came up with the cost. Mr. <br />Napier said the cost per acre was $2,570.25 per acre. Mr. Napier advised that <br />at the last meeting, there was a question raised regarding the frontage foot <br />method. He said they went back in and calculated by the frontage foot method <br />
