WHEREAS, Subdistrict No. 511 (Lindbergh Terrace Addition) established on
petition by Ordinance No. 4286, adopted February 18, 1981, 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, the entire cost of the installation of such sewers including the
engineering, survey, and inspection costs, is estimated to be Two Hundred Twelve Thousand
Dollars ($212,000.00) 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. 511 (Lindbergh Terrace Addition) is
necessary in the interest of public health; that such sewer shall consist of approximately 3,050
lineal feet of 6-inch and 8-inch sewers, which shall be capable of efficiently serving or draining
the entire local drainage area; that the entire cost of such improvement, including the
engineering, survey, and inspection costs, to be paid for by special tax bill or other evidence of
special benefit assessments upon the land benefited by such improvement is estimated to be Two
Hundred Twelve Thousand Dollars ($212,000.00), such special tax bills to be purchased by the
District and held for collection, such purchase being done as a cost reduction; 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
to those properties benefiting from 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 at such public hearing those persons owning real
property within such Subdistrict be informed that the District will encourage them to make the
improvement 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, 1987.
