Dave Herrick passed out copies of the following final Engineer's Report for Water District No. 12, Extension No. 2 (East Shore Circle and Teeter Road). Mr. Herrick gave an overview of what is being proposed. TOWN OF LANSING, TOMPKINS COUNTY, NEW YORK NOVEMBER 04, 1999 ENGINEER'S REPORT PROPOSED TOWN OF LANSING WATER DISTRICT NO. 12, EXTENSION NO. 2 EAST SHORE CIRCLE AND TEETER ROAD SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION Property owners in the proposed district have petitioned the Town of Lansing to evaluate the feasibility of extending present Water District boundaries to include their properties and facilitate the construction of a municipal water system. After due consideration of possible district boundaries and service alternatives, construction of 8 -inch water mains connecting to existing water mains on East Shore Circle (Water District No. 12) and NYS Route 34 (Water District No. 7) are proposed. T e Town hoard a} tpri��d tl}is Er}gir}pering Re t rrr ' 0 peFessary o Iff i�? Y t+F }R 4 gs�F ibe the project f ppbliF review a.pd cpmme0 p r e his report provides the basic information needed to assess the project an he costs so that both the people and the Town Board may express their comments. After the public hearing a determination will be made by the Board as to why liq tp Tgceed with the process. The Board's determination will be subject to a permissive I� fgT90Oni. �f'the Board's decision, supported by the people living in or owning land in the proposed district, is affirmative, final documentation for the establishment of the Water District Extension will be prepared and submitted to the New York State Comptroller for review and approval. The forms and applications will be filed and permits (including the Water Supply Pa suant to Article 8 of the December 01, 1999, continued Environmental Conservation Law, the State Environmental Quality Review Act. SECTION 2 - SERVICE AREA The project location is shown on Map 1. The proposed service area includes 19 parcels consisting of 18 single- family residences and one vacant property. The total service area includes roughly 90 acres. Map 2 illustrates the approximate boundary of the District extension. The following table lists the parcels, street address, parcel owners, use and the number of Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) for all lands included in the service area. EDUs are defined per the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission (S.C.L.I.W.C., also known as Bolton Point) Schedule B in the Appendix. SECTION 3 - OVERVIEW OF METHOD OF OPERATION The source of water supply is the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission (S.C.L.LW.C.), located at Bolton Point on Cayuga Lake. The Town of Lansing as well as the Towns of Ithaca and Dryden and the Villages of Lansing and Cayuga Heights are members of the Commission. The Commission was established in 1974 as an Intermunicipal cooperative organization for the purpose of supplying high quality treated water in adequate quantities to meet the needs of participating municipalities. Water from the Commission is pumped into the Town of Lansing's distribution system via the Town Pump Station located at Burdick Hill. The Town's Storage Tank No. 1 is located at Village Circle South and has a capacity of 1.0 million gallons. Two additional water storage tanks, identified as Water Storage Tank No. 2 and Water Storage Tank No. 3, constructed as part of a system -wide improvements project are located in the vicinity of Bean Hill and Ludlowville, ® respectively. Tank No. 1 and No. 2 act as `sister' tanks with overflow elevations of 1188+ feet USGS. Tank No. 3 is located on Wilson Road and has an overflow elevations of 696+ feet USGS. Tank No. 4, located on Emmons Road, is a 250,000 gal pre -cast, pre- stressed concrete tank constructed in 1996 as part of Water District No. 17. The base and overflow elevations are 967.5' and 993.5' U.S.G.S. +, respectively. Water District No. 12, Extension No. 2 will be served from the Village Circle Tank (Tank No. 1). The tank overflow elevation is approximately 1,188 feet U.S.G.S. The low water elevation of the tank is approximately. 1, 184 feet U.S.G.S. Due to the vertical difference between Tank No. 1 and East Shore Circle, water pressure in the distribution main will be reduced using the Asbury Road pressure - reducing valve station (PRV). The regulated outlet pressure of the PRV is approximately 60 psi and the ground elevation is approximately 933' U.S.G.S.

The regulated outlet pressure of the PRV is approximately 60 psi and the ground elevation is approximately 933' U.S.G.S. It is proposed East Shore Circle be serviced by approximately 2,480 linear feet of 8 -inch ductile December 01, 1999, continued iron pipe connected to the 8 -inch water main on East Shore Circle (Water District No. 12). and the 8 -inch water main on East Shore Drive (Water District No. 7). Approximately 380 linear feet of 8 -inch ductile iron pipe will also extend to the west side of parcel 37.1 -7 -27 on Teeter Road. SECTION 4 - DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS In rural Lansing the average number of people per living unit is assumed as three. For planning purposes, residential water use in the Town is an estimated 300 gallons per average day (gpad) per single- family residence. Actual consumption for a single - family residence has historically been much less. Table 4: Estimated Water Consumption Total Equivalent Dwelling Estimated Consumption Units* (GPD) 18 5,400 *Units based on S.C.L.I.W.C. Schedule B in Appendix. Extensions to the Town System were anticipated and available storage is adequate to meet both the consumption and fire flow needs of this district extension. The proposed water district affords hydraulic benefits by connecting an existing dead end water main on East Shore Circle to a water main on East Shore Drive. Hydraulic benefits include an increase of fire flow capacity to properties adjacent to the proposed loop on East Shore Circle and East Shore Drive. Based on U.S.G.S. quadrangle information, the ground elevation of the Service Area ranges from approximately 840 feet to 875 feet U.S.G.S. Using an outlet pressure of 60 psi at the Asbury Road PRV, the static main pressure at ground level will be between 85 psi± and 101 psi ±. The pressures are acceptable for water distribution mains according to the S.C.L.I.W.C. Pressure Standards for New Distribution Main Extensions which indicates the recommended minimum and maximum design elevation head to any portion of a distribution main extension should be 35 psi and 150 psi respectively. All connections to the system will be required to install an individual pressure reducing valve to maintain moderate household pressures as well as protect against pressure surges in the transmission pipe. Individual service line sizes will vary depending on the total distance from the main to the home and will be verified by Bolton Point staff. SECTION 5 - CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONS The 8 -inch water main will be constructed within the Town's right -of -way and, if necessary, acquired adjacent easements on East Shore Circle and Teeter Road. More precise locations will be identified in future design phases. A connection to the existing 8 -inch water main on the east side of N.Y.S. Route 34 (East Shore Drive) is necessary and will require a boring under the road. A "New York State Department of Transportation Highway Work Permit for Utility Work" will be necessary. During construction, traffic patterns will be disrupted; however, the contractor will be required to maintain a thoroughfare for traffic. At this time there is no information which suggests trench rock excavation will be necessary along the proposed water main route. Test borings will be conducted to determine if bedrock is present. If necessary, the construction cost estimate will be revised to reflect trench rock excavation. Test boring information will be made available to bidders at the time the project is bid for construction. SECTION 6 - ESTIMATE OF PROJECT COST Table 6 represents the project cost of water distribution main extension and service connections extended to the road right of way.

The project cost for Water District 12, Extension No. 2 will be financed by the issuance of serial bonds to mature in T meal installments. Bond rates are more favorable for larger bond amounts, therefor; the Town oposes bur. ling three water projects together for in order to receive the best bond rate possit te;for all three projects. Annual Charge tq frRpgrty RyTners It is proposed that t }g. annual installments, which include repayment of principal and interest, be assessed against tl}e:jWrtefited prq' perties in the District. The Town plans to finance this project with the issuance o °f a '§crial bo#} 'to mature in 20 years. The Town's Financial Advisor, David Allardice, InF. sug4Ivsts a bona rote of 5.5% is appropriate for a bond issue of $1.0 Million. Multiple water dirt ;Ft progccts are expected to be bonded concurrently. Although several projects will be bo' ed toga Pr, each water district will be responsible for its own debt retirement. The at1 1 pgymellt'for each district will be shared based on the equivalent dwelling units (EDU) within Thal d}stri�t. Equivalent Dwelling Units are based on Bolton Point's "Definition of Units fqr, r °�� of Connection Charges ". A copy of Bolton Point's unit allocation has been tS�Y�s t�ppendix B. j pst to be Financed $167,400 Int rest -Rate 5.5% Term (years) 20 Capitol Recovery Factor 0.0837 Annual Payment $ 14,008 EDUs 18 The annual cost per EDU unit is approximately = 14,008 18 EDU = $778.20 r. December 01, 1999, continued SECTION 8 - SUPPLEMENTARY COSTS A. Water Use Water use fees, operating and maintenance (O &M) costs, and system -wide improvement costs are financed by metered water revenues. The customer receives a quarterly water use bill generated on the rates and surcharges as fisted below: L Bolton Point Water Rate (year 2000): Gallons Consumed Flat Rate per Quarter 0- 10,001 17.90 (base charge) 10,001 and over $1.79/1,000 gallons I Town O &M Surcharge (year 2000) The Town levies a surcharge of $1.10 per 1,000 gallons for O &M on the Bolton Point rate. The minimum quarterly bill for a i igle- family residence would be $28.90 based on the following: Quarterly water consumption ; = 10,000 (or less) gallons Bolton Point Water rate ($'7? /1,000 gallons) = $17.90 Town O &M surcharge ($1:10/ 1,000 gallons) = $11.00 Total I = $28.90 For planning purposes, residential water use in the Town is estimated as 300 gallons per average day (gpad) per single- family residence in which case the quarterly bill would be $79.11. If a residence uses more water, then the bill will be higher. B. One -Time Connection Charge The table below represents estimated costs when a household chooses to connect to the system. Bolton Point Water supply; Connection Fee ^ 3/4" Meter Inspection Fee Water service line from water main tap to home (cost will vary depending on length of service fine and depth to bedrock, if encountered), Estimated average: 501f @ $121 /lf Total $250.00 100.00 100.00 125.00 600.00 $1,175.00 ^ Connection fees based on S.C.L.I.W.C. Schedule B in Appendix. i. C. One- Time'B"uy -In Charges Water district extensions are required to buy into the original Water District. The "buy -in" expense is based on the number of years the original district has been bonded and the average yearly unit assessment of all bonded districts for the current year. Water District No. 12 was fully funded by the developer, therefor property owners in Extension No. 2 will not be required to pay a one -time buy -in. fee. (Appendices on file in the Town Clerk's Office) Mrs. Kirby asked for any questions from the residents that were present. Lori Rhoads presented letters of support from the residents to Mrs. Kirby. Daryl Rhoads asked if there would be an extra cost for people to go under the road. Mr. Herrick stated that there would not be an extra cost it was figured in the cost estimate. Mark Croft spoke on pehalf of his. mother Helene Croft. 44 •s� He stated he woul' 'like to ' r> { r� • .f, w'1 December 01, 1999, continued publicly express his very strong objection to the entire district. He stated he believed the whole process was miss handled and very unfairly done. It places an extreme financial burden on his mother and several people on the road. They would be endangered from losing their homes if this were to pass for something that a person neither wants nor needs. It is very unjustifying in his opinion. The way the procedure was done where certain people on the road were out promoting this, actively going around promoting it to their neighbors, I nor my mother were personally able to go and promote the opposition to it. A lot of people have gotten a very bias view of this. A lot of people have been influenced by not the facts and the dollar figures they have been influenced by what their neighbors will think or going along with the rest of the crowd. Mr. Croft stated he thinks this is a very poor way to process something like this that is such an amount of money over $17,000. It is a burden that is being put on people unfairly. We originally had seven no votes which would have been enough to oppose this. Several of those votes, three of them at least were encouraged to change, and also this deal with combining this district with the other four on the end of the road this was done at the very last minute and also was, I believe unfair, those people were unanimous and had already processed their water district. The rest of the people down the road really do not need it and could be done for those who really need it could be done at a whole lot simpler and cheaper manner. The way it was gone about for that amount of money should have been done officially and legally and without this informal process of just neighbors talking to neighbors. That is just no way to do this kind of business and that is no way to go about saddling someone with a financial burden like this for twenty years and making them lose what they have worked all their lives to keep. Mr. Croft stated that he thought this was really a raw deal. P 11 Mr. Keough stated that personally he thinks the expense is a little high and he has no need for the water. Lori Rhoads stated that Mr. Croft has miss spoken. They did not encourage anybody, (Connie Armstrong and herself went out to the neighborhood) if the neighbors could not afford it they did not encourage them to sign. If people decided they could afford it, they signed. RESOLUTION, offered by Mr. Beckwith and seconded by Mr. Butler: RESOLVED, to close the Public Hearing at 7:25 p.m. Carried.
