WHEREAS, Special Benefit Subdistrict No. 62 (Reavis and
Tesson Ferry) was established on petition by Ordinance No. 319,
adopted September 28, 1959, and
WHEREAS, investigation has shown that such area is not
adequately served by storm sewers and that the public health is
affected, and
WHEREAS, it is estimated that the probable cost of
installation of such sewers will be approximately Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), and that the most practicable
method of payment therefor is by special tax bills, or other
evidence of special benefit assessments upon the land benefitted
by such installation,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the construction of
adequate storm sewers in the area known as Special Benefit
Subdistrict No. 62 (Reavis and Tesson Ferry) is necessary in the
interest of the public health; that such sewers shall consist of
approximately 3500 lineal feet of pipe varying from 15 to 54
inches in diameter, which shall be capable of efficiently serving
or draining the entire local drainage area; that the estimated
probable cost of such improvement is Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000.00); that the entire cost of such improvement shall be
paid for by special tax bills or other evidence of special benefit
assessments upon the land benefitted by such improvement; and that
such improvement be constructed in said Subdistrict, such
facilities to flow into a tributary of Gravois Creek located at
the edge of the area described in said Ordinance No. 319.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that special benefit
assessments for the entire cost of such improvement be levied
against all land in the above described subdistrict, whether
public or private, in the proportion that each such lot or parcel
of land bears to the entire benefitted area of such subdistrict,
exclusive of public streets, roads and alleys.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a public hearing be held
within said subdistrict to afford all persons interested in said
improvement an opportunity to be heard; that such hearing shall be
held at such time and place as the Executive Director shall
determine, but not less than ten nor more than thirty days after
the adoption of this resolution; and that notice of such hearing
shall be given by the publication of notice in at least one issue
of a newspaper of general circulation within The Metropolitan St.
Louis Sewer District not less than ten days in advance of the date
of such hearing. The foregoing Resolution was passed October 22, 1959.
