ADOPTION OF ASSESSMENT
WALTER MAY SANITARY SEWER CONNECTION FEE
Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: adopt Resolution 2006-031, adopt
assessment roll, Walter May connection fee.
Overview
Walter May resides at 41'2 Webster Place in Hopkins. He currently has a sanitary sewer pump
that lifts wastewater from his home to the Hopkins sanitary sewer system. The recent
Minnetonka Blvd improvements included a sanitary sewer line that is low enough to serve Mr.
May's property by gravity. Thus he could remove the pump. This sewer line is owned by the
City of Minnetonka and they have approved his connection, but will require him to pay
$10,973.85. The property owner has petitioned the City to pay this connection fee and assess his
property at 7% for 10 years. They have waived their rights to a public hearing and appeal of the
assessment under Minn. Stat. Sect 429.01 et seq.
Staff recommends approval ofthe resolution assessing this property.
