WHEREAS, the Board has received a petition from
property owners in McDermott's Subdivision of Barracks Heights, a
subdivision of St. Louis County, Missouri not included in any
subdistrict for the construction of lateral sewers to serve such
area.
WHEREAS, investigation has shown the necessity for such
improvement by reason of the fact that said area is presently
served by septic tanks, which are inefficient in such a congested
area, and the effluent of which creates a nuisance in said area
and the surrounding territory; and
WHEREAS, it has been estimated that the probable cost
of the installation of such lateral sewers will be Fifteen
Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00), and that the most practicable
method of payment therefor is by special tax bills, or other
evidence of special benefit assessments upon the real property
included in such area;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the construction
of sanitary sewers in said area is necessary in order to protect
the health of the residents therein, that such sewer shall be
lateral sanitary sewers available to each parcel of property in
the area; that the estimated cost of constructing such lateral
sewers is Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00); that such costs
shall be paid for by special tax bills or other evidence of
special benefit assessments upon the real property in the area;
and that such lateral sewers be constructed in the area of
McDermott's Subdivision of Barracks Heights described as follows:
Beginning at the point of intersection of the centerline of
Sigsbee Avenue with the centerline of Kingston Drive; thence
easterly along the centerline of Sigsbee Avenue to the point
of intersection of the said line with the eastern line of
McDermott's Subdivision of Barracks Heights; thence southerly
along the said eastern line of the said subdivision to the
southeast corner of said subdivision; thence westerly along
the southern line of McDermott's Subdivision of Barracks
Heights and its prolongation westerly to its point of
intersection with the centerline of Kingston Drive; thence
northerly along the centerline of Kingston Drive to the point
of beginning, which said area shall be and the same is hereby
designated Special Benefit Subdistrict No. Seven, and such
sewers therein to be connected to certain trunk line sewers
presently installed in Kingston Park and Jefferson Barracks,
the connections to be made at existing manholes therein; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that special benefit
assessments be levied against all real property within the
boundaries hereinbefore delineated in the proportion that the area
each parcel of real property bears to the entire area within the
boundaries of the special benefit subdistrict; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a public hearing be held
in McDermott's Subdivision of Barracks Heights at such time and
place as the Executive Director shall determine, and that notice
of such hearing be given by the posting of notices in not less
than three public places within the boundaries of the proposed
3
benefit subdistrict; and by the distribution of hand bills among
the residents in such benefit subdistrict, for the purpose of
determining whether or not it is in the public interest that such
improvement, or any part thereof, be made. The foregoing Resolution was adopted October 31, 1955.
