Re: Feasibility Study
Beaudry's 2nd Addition
Gentlemen:
We have completed the preliminary study for improvements to the
following area within the City of Albertville:
Beaudry's 2nd Addition
-55th Street N.E.
-57th Street N.E.
-55th Circle
-Lake Avenue N.E.
-Lannon Avenue N.E.
The study area consists of properties as indicated in Figure 1.
Proposed improvements, to be addressed following in more detail,
consist of sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer and streets.
SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
The proposed sanitary sewer consists of 8 inch collection lines
as indicated in Figure 2. The eventual discharge point of the
collection system is at the lift station in Barthel's Industrial
Park. Currently this lift station pumps to an on -site treatment
and disposal system. Upon completion of the new treatment
facility, the lift station will be modified to pump to the new
facility. I anticipate that any permits issued by the Pollution
Control Agency for this sewer extension would have a condition
attached which would establish scheduling for hook ups. That
schedule should be based upon completion of the new treatment
facility.

The estimated cost of the proposed sanitary sewer improvements is
$88,800. This estimated cost includes construction cost
engineering and administrative costs. There are 41 benefited
lots adjacent to this proposed improvement.
WATERMAIN IMPROVEMENTS
Proposed watermain improvements are as shown in Figure 3. This
project will provide excellent looping for existing watermains as
well as provide the necessary distribution to the development
area.
One area of question is the easterly extension of 57th Street
N.E. As properties are currently platted, the dead end extension
provides no future use. If the Council feels that this street
may eventually continue to the east, watermain improvements
should also be installed from the intersection of 57th Street and
Lannon to the east plat boundary.
The estimated cost of the proposed watermain improvements is
$63,600. This estimated cost includes construction cost,
engineering and administrative costs. There are 41 benefited
lots adjacent to this proposed improvement.
STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
Proposed storm sewer improvements are indicated in Figure 4. The
estimated cost of the proposed improvements is $35,000 including
construction cost, engineering and administrative costs. There
are 41 benefited lots improved by this proposal.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The area being considered for
streets within the study area as
of street construction are to
construction with only gravel
utilities; the other to be full
gutter and bituminous surfacing.
street improvements are all the
indicated in Figure 1. Two forms
be analyzed, one being phased
base to be installed with the
street construction with curb &
The portion of the streets cross -hatched in Figure 1 has an
existing gravel base. Therefore, these adjacent properties will
only be affected if the Council elects to order full street
construction. The costs associated with the street improvement
alternatives are as follows:
. page 3
February 6, 1985
Full Street Construction - to consist of gravel base,
concrete curb and gutter, bituminous surfacing and boulevard
restoration. The estimated cost of these improvements in
the area cross -hatched in Figure 1 is $26,000 and $169,000
for streets in the remainder of the study area.
Gravel Base Construction Only - this phased construction
would provide a driving surface during the development phase
with eventual curb & gutter and surfacing to be completed
later. The estimated cost of the gravel base in the
cross -hatched area is zero and $31,700 for streets in the
remainder of the study area.
PREVIOUS IMPROVEMENTS
As stated previously, the sanitary sewer collection system
discharges to a lift station in Barthel's Industrial Park. The
storm sewer system discharges to an existing extension installed
for that purpose. These improvements were installed and financed
by the City of Albertville in conjunction with the 1979-3 Utility
Improvement Project. A copy of that assessment narrative dated
August 13, 1980 is attached. In essence, the City will now
recover that investment.
Costs to be assessed to the development area from improvements of
the 1979-3 Project is as follows:
Lift Station & Forcemain
$9,757.56
(page
5
of
narrative)
Storm Sewer Extension
$3,767.40
(page
6
of
narrative)
The interest rate for financing the 1979-3 project was 8%.
Assuming the period to 1985, the compound amount factor for 8%
over 5 years is 1.4693. Therefore, the proposed assessed amount
from the 1979-3 project becomes:
Lift Station & Forcemain
$9,757.56 x 1.4693 = $14,336.78
Storm Sewer Extension
$3,767.4o x 1.4693 = $ 5,535.44

Re: 1979-3 Utility Improvement Project;
Assessment Roles
Gentlemen:
As per your direction, we have prepared the enclosed
assessment role for the above referenced project. Reference
maps and diagrams have been attached to the back side of the
assessment role for your convenience.
The following is a discussion of costs and assessment procedures
incorporated in the cost breakdown of the role.
Project scope
The 1979-3 Utility Improvement Project consisted of extending
watermains to Barthel s Industrial Park via Old Minnesota
State Highway 152 from the intersection of Main Avenue and
Coun:.y Road No. 37. The watermain extends through the
Highway 152 realignment area, thus providing service to those
commercial lots along that route.
A gravity sanitary sewer collection system was installed in
the Industrial Park to serve that area proposed for development
in Phase I. A lift station and forcemain was installed for
the transportation of wastewater from the gravity collection
system. A septic tank and drainfield installation will
receive and treat the wastewater until a new wastewater
treatment facility is constructed, at which time the forcemain
will discharge to the new facility. The forcemain extends
through the Highway 152 realignment area, thus providing
service to those commercial lots along that route not
serviceable by the existing gravity system.

Street construction consisted of a full depth gravel application
on streets abutting the Phase I development area in the Industrial
Park. Highway 152 realignment was reconstructed to provide
a 45 foot wide, 9 ton urban street.
