ADJOURNMENT CITY OFF, HUTC'HINSON "'Wittlesota OFFICES AT 35 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST City Council City of Hutchinson McLeod County, Minnesota June 5, 1964 The undersigned engineer, to whom the following proposed improvement was referred, hereby reports that said improvement is feasible and should be made as recommended. Said improvement consists of the installation of sanitary sewer and water in various areas of the city. Charles J. Wilson City Engineer Registration No. 6683 ;Rtk 'Y SL,, DE_R - r -0 Cl jr- ENGINEER'S REPORT ON PROJECT 14 - 1 WATER AND SEWER PROJECT This project consists of installing watermains and sanitary sewers on several streets in Hutchinson. These streets are in scattered areas, and reports have previously been submitted on some of this work. Some p portions of this project will. have to be ordered by Council action, as formal petitions were not received on all. portions. grrTTnN T a. The 12 inch resupply line proposed in August 1963 comprises much of this section. This starts north of the new filter plant on Clark Street, goes west on Fifth Avenue to Prospect Street, north on Prospect Street to McLeod Avenue, west on McLeod Avenue to Ash Street, north on Ash Street to Northwoods Avenue, and east on Northwoods Avenue to Maple Street. b. Most of this area is already served by watermains and would receive no assessment. On Ash Street there are eight lots not now served by watermains, which would be assessed for this improvement. Mrs. Nyberg and Mr. Putney have signed petitions and waivers of' hearing for this improvement. Mr. Olson who owns two lots has not signed this form. Also, the property on the north side of Northwoods Avenue, between Ash Street and Maple Street would be assessed for this improvement. The reasons for this improvement were covered in the above menti o od report. This construction is the first stage in the elimination of several dead-end lines in the Northeast section of Hutchinson, providing a looped network, improving fire protection for Maplewood Academy, and providing more adequate service and fire protection to the nursing home site. c. When Mrs. Nyberg became aware of the proposed watermain construction she asked that sanitary sewer be installed to serve the lots on Ash Street. This is included in Section I. Mrs. Nyberg has been informed that it will be necessary to place considerable fill on Ash Street to prevent the collapse of the sanitary sewer lines. If she does not do this work it will be necessary for the City to secure this fill. d. The watermain construction in the alley west of Bluff Street and south of Fifth Avenue is in this schedule. A report was previously submitted on this work, a preliminary hearing has been held, and plans and specifications were ordered prepared. e. A petition and waiver of hearing has been submitted by the owner of lots in Oak Park, fronting on Century Avenue, between Jorgenson Street/ and Jefferson Street for watermains and sanitary sewer. This work is included in Section I. gPrTTnN TT The watermain and sanitary sewer construction for part of Oak Park Second Addition comprises this section. A report was previously submitted, 10 a preliminary hearing was held, and plans and specifications were ordered prepared. As of this time, the necessary money has not been deposited with the City Clerk to cover the cost of this construction. SECTION IiI Various small projects to be done at City expense comprise this section.
