WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 439 (Tanzberger Drive) was
established on petition by Ordinance No. 3359, adopted November 9,
1977, as amended by Ordinance No. 3450, adopted February 8, 1978,
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 Sixty-five
Thousand Dollars ($65,000.00), 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 lateral sanitary sewers in the area known as Subdistrict
No. 439 (Tanzberger Drive) is necessary in the interest of the
public health; that such sewers shall consist of approximately
2,325 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 Sixty-five
Thousand Dollars ($65,000.00); 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 or be connected
with existing public lateral sanitary sewers located 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
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
3
contract for construction is advertised, the construction is being
done by private means, then of course, the District will refrain
from proceeding.
