R E S O L U T I O N NO. 1438
WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 352 (Hudson Road) was established on
petition by Ordinance No. 2079, adopted September 10, 1970, 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, it is estimated that the probable cost of installation of
such sewers will be approximately Fifty-four Thousand Dollars ($54,000.00) and
that the most practicable method of payment therefor is by special tax bills,
or other evidence of special benefit assessments upon the land benefited by
such installation,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the construction of adequate
lateral sanitary sewers in the area known as Subdistrict No. 352 (Hudson Road)
is necessary in the interest of the public health; that such sewers shall
consist of approximately 2,490 lineal feet of 8-inch sewers, which shall be
capable of efficiently serving or draining the entire local drainage area; that
the estimated probable cost of such improvement is Fifty-four Thousand Dollars
($54,000.00); that the cost of such improvement shall be paid for by special
tax bills or other evidence of special benefit assessments upon the land
benefited by such improvement, such special tax bills to be purchased by the
District and held for collection; and that such improvement be constructed in
said Subdistrict, such facilities to flow into or be connected with existing
public lateral sanitary sewers located adjacent to said
subdistrict,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that special benefit assessments for the
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 benefited area of such Subdistrict,
exclusive of 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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that at such public hearing, those persons
owning real property within such subdistrict be informed that the District will
encourage them to make the improvements by private means, as it is generally
recognized that there can be a saving over some of the necessary costs of tax
bills; that such methods, procedures and estimates of alternate costs be given
to them, and that they be told that the District will proceed in its usual
manner toward having the sewers constructed by the tax bill method, but that
if, before such contract for construction is advertised, the construction is
being done by private means, then of course, the District will refrain from
proceeding.
The foregoing Resolution was adopted November 12, 1975.
