WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 213 (Meadow Acres) was
established on petition by Ordinance No. 901, adopted January 7,
1963, and
WHEREAS, investigation has shown that such area is not
adequately served by lateral sanitary sewers and that the public
health is affected; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 680, adopted November 14,
1963 the Board of Trustees declared the necessity of constructing
lateral sanitary sewers in such area at an estimated cost of
Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00); and
WHEREAS, it is now estimated that the probable cost of
installation of such sewer will be approximately Thirty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00), 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 said Resolution No.
680 be and is hereby repealed; that the construction of adequate
lateral sanitary sewers in the area known as Subdistrict No. 213
(Meadow Acres) is necessary in the interest of the public health;
that such sewers shall consist of approximately 1,670 feet of
eight inch pipe and appurtenances, which shall be capable of
efficiently serving the entire local drainage area; that the
estimated probable cost of such improvement is Thirty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00); 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 connect to an existing public
sewer adjacent to said subdistrict.
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 streets,
roads and alleys.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a public hearing be held
with 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 adopted February 29, 1968.
