Plana and Cost Estimates have been completed, which would provide for the following: The proposed sewer extension would consist of the -instal- lation of 830feet of 8 inch pipe and 3 manholes, extending south from an existing pump station near Penjajawoc Stream toward Mt. Hope Avenue. .The total estimated cost of the sewer installation is $181000.00. Of this amount, the City would pay 50%, and the remaining amount would be assessed against the properties benefitted, as follows: Property Owner Frontage Estimated Assessment West Side State of Maine (=I) 755' $31220.00 (non -assessable) State of Maine 300' 11280.00 East Side Edythe L. Dyer 505' 21154.00 (non -assessable) Elpla, Inc. (Pine State Volkswagen) 300' 11280.00' qV Realty (Village Subaru) 2501 1,066.00 Totals 29110' $99000.00 As will be noted above, much of the property is considered to be non -assessable. The property, of Edythe L. Dyer is con- siderably lower than the sewer, and could thus notusethe sewer without the construction of a pump station;. furthermore, the Dyer property will eventually be served by the Penjajawoc Collector sewer, to be constructed subsequent to the Penobscot East Interceptor Sewer. A large portion of the land on the west side, being part of the Eastern Maine Vocational Technical Institute, is con- sidered non -assessable, since it is alreadyserved by a sanitary -1- sewer; however, approximately 300 feet of the =TI frontage is considered assessable, since it is much closer to the proposed new sewer than to the existing sewer. The property of Elpla, Inc. would receive no immediate benefit from the sewer, since that property is presently served by its own pump station, and is connected into the sewer on the FVWI property; however, there is a possibility that it might be feasible for Elpla to tie in to the proposed new sewer at some time in the future when operating or replacement coats of their pump might outweigh the cost of connection. In this respect, it is felt that a deferred assessment should be placed against the Elpla property, to be paid at such time as entry into the proposed new sewer is requested. It is further suggested that the deferred assessment be paid by QV Realty, upon the condition that they be reimbursed at such time as Elpla, Inc. decides to enter the sewer. Although a large portion of the frontage in question is non-assessableit should be pointed out that it has been the i City's policy n the past to include such frontage in the computation of front -foot assessments; otherwise, an unduly severe assessment would result against a few individual properties. It should be further pointed out that the proposed sewer will probably eventually be extended to Mt. Rope Avenue and beyond, and all of the frontage to be covered by a future extension will be assessable. For these reasons, it is recommended that Qv Realty be assessed on the basis of their frontage and the Elple, Inc. frontage, and that a deferred assessment be placed against the Elpla property, to be levied and reimbursed to QV Realty at such time as entry into the sewer is requested in the future. Plans of the proposed sewer installation are on file in the Office of the City Engineer. Respectfully submitted, Sohn T. Frew y, City Engineer -2-
