SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Community Development Department received a request from the owners of the KOA Campground to connect to the existing city water system in the Robe River Subdivision area. The campground owners desire to connect their existing water system to the city water supply on a seasonal basis. Their plans include tapping into the existing city water line on Aurora Street. This requires a water line to be run from the KOA Campground property (Tract F1, ASLS 79-116), across the city owned snow storage lot at the end of Aurora Street, known as Parcel B, Northern Lights Subdivision.
The attached exhibit shows the request 10’ wide private easement. The easement document will be paired with a written description of the easement and presented to City Council for approval at their next regular meeting.
The applicant will also be required to obtain a utility permit prior to making a connection to the city water system. The application, including engineered plans, has been submitted to the Public Works Director for approval. A ROW permit will also be required prior to construction of the water line, and for any maintenance or repair work in the future.
