I COMMISSIONER Glen W. i 'lint said the commission JSJ "II contribute $78,000 with rest of the cost being paid i) 'he Utah Department of reimportation. iA j He said that originally the jZ uniy's share of the Barton J,reek project was $56,000 but aler commissioners were in- ormed that an additional 7 MO would be needed. COMMISSIONER Flint noted not-ed that the DOT agreed to reduce the amount by $8,000 on the engineering costs. Total cost of the project is $129,549 and the contract has been awarded to R. C. Jones Construction Company of Murray. COMMISSIONER Flint explained that the county's share of the costs will be derived from the special 2-mill 2-mill flood control levy assessed as-sessed countywide for storm drainage and flood-control work. Meanwhile, the commission has under advisement for further committee study proposals to extend sanitary sewer and culinary water lines to the unincorporated area west of Farmington which is under residential development. AT A recent meeting of the commission, about 100 persons per-sons representing some 3,000 acres affected in the proposals said they were in favor of the expansion because of recent and future residential development in the area. Most-of the property owners attending the meeting said they expected to develop their land within the next five years if sewer and water systems are provided. OWNERS OF approximately approxi-mately 150 acres said they are planning to develop their property within the next year, with or without sewer and water. Richard Harvey, county environmental en-vironmental health director, has been assigned by the commission to work with the property owners to develop sanitary sewer and culinary water systems since th commission com-mission has delayed adoption of a stringent septic tank or--dinance for six months. IF ADOPTED, the ordinance or-dinance would have severely hampered residential development in the area. Mr. Harvey said only one owner of 34 acres said he does not intend to develop his property within the next five years. COST ESTIMATES for environmental en-vironmental improvements in the area include $225,000 to build a sanitary sewer pumping pump-ing station and build a 14,000-foot 14,000-foot trunk line to take sewer to the Central Davis Sewer Improvement District Plant west of Kaysville. An additional $250,000 will be needed to develop sewer collection lines in the area. |
