INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this project is to install new City of West Fargo (“City”) infrastructure (“Improvements”)
to service Lots 10-18, Block 2 and Lots 1-9 Block 3, respectively, of Westview 3rd Addition (“Property”) as
petitioned by Jason Eid of Eid-Co Homes (“Developer”) and approved by the City Commission on
December 7, 2020. For related information, see the following exhibits: “Improvement District Map”,
“Existing City Infrastructure”, “Proposed Infrastructure”, and the Developer’s “Request for
Improvements”. The Property includes 18 lots and the area is bounded by 4th Street East on the west,
the Shadow Creek neighborhood on the north, the Westview 1st Addition neighborhood (i.e. 7th Street
East) on the east, and Dakota Commons Apartments (i.e. 40th Avenue East) on the south.
The purpose of the Engineer’s Report is to establish the general nature, purpose, and feasibility of the
proposed Improvements as well as to estimate the probable costs of the Improvements. Additionally,
this report will discuss the existing City infrastructure and condition of the Properties, the need for the
Improvements, Improvement alternatives considered, preliminary opinions of costs, and
recommendations for City Improvements associated with the Properties.
1. EXISTING FACILITIES
1.1. Land Use
The Property is currently a vacant field and considered Phase II of the Westview 3rd Addition
development. The original Westview 3rd Addition development project (i.e. Phase I) was constructed
in 2018 and Phase II was planned to be constructed as soon as market demand required it. The
Property is platted and zoned as a residential area which will consist of single family dwellings. The
proposed Phase II project will complete the residential neighborhood along 38th Avenue East and
Westview Lane East, which was originally started in 2012.
1.2. City Infrastructure
Infrastructure located in the City right-of-ways of Westview Lane East to the east and 4th Street East
to the west are able to provide and adequately service the proposed Property. Connections to the
existing sanitary sewer, water main, and storm sewer systems are shown on the “Proposed
Infrastructure” map included in the Appendix.
23

[PAGE 24]
2. NEED FOR PROJECT
The Developer’s has expressed their market analysis demonstrates the need for additional residential
properties in this area to meet current demands and inventory. Therefore, these Improvements are
necessary to service the Property.
3. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The existing infrastructure in this area is setup to service the Properties as seen in the “Existing City
Infrastructure” map in Appendix A, and the sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer, and street systems
will be continued within the existing Westview Lane East right-of-way as seen in the “Proposed
Infrastructure” map in Appendix A. It is the intent that all proposed Improvements will be designed and
installed per City of West Fargo standards and specifications. The following is further information
relating to proposed Infrastructure for the Properties.
3.1. Sanitary Sewer System
All sanitary sewer mains will be PVC SDR 35 pipe and a diameter of 8 inches. Sewer services will be
PVC SDR 26 with a 6 inch diameter and extended into each individual lot.
3.2. Water Main System
All water main will be PVC C900 pipe and will be a diameter of 8 inches with 1 inch service lines
extended into each individual lot. Fire hydrant(s) will also be installed as necessary in order to assist
with fire protection of the Property.
3.3. Storm Sewer System
Storm sewer under roadways will be Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) of various sizes to collect runoff
in the streets and flows will be directed into the existing storm sewer that conveys storm water west
to the 4th Street East system, which flows north into the Shadow Creek regional pond system. The
Shadow Creek regional pond system provides retention for this area for up to 50% impervious
surfaces. Existing rear yard inlets are proposed to be utilized for all rear yard drainage. Any storm
sewer runs for rear yard inlets, if required, may be High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. The rear
yard lot drainage for Lots 10-18, Block 2 will utilize existing rear yard lot inlets installed during the
Westview 1st Addition and Westview 3rd Addition – Phase I projects. It is proposed that the rear yard
drainage for Lots 1-9, Block 3 will utilize existing inlets located within the adjacent lot to the south of
24

[PAGE 25]
the Project location, but along the rear property lines of these respective lots. The Dakota Commons
apartment site design originally proposed that these inlet structures were to be installed within a
common storm sewer easement, thus allowing the Lots 1-9, Block 3 rear yard drainage to utilize
these existing inlets. This storm sewer easement, at the time of this Engineer’s Report, has not been
recorded. In order to record properly, this will be a land acquisition cost included within District
1315.2. It is recommended that the existing Dakota Commons storm sewer run should be televised
and inspected to verify that the storm sewer line was installed to City of West Fargo standards and
specifications before the easement is finalized. If this option is not successful, a rear yard inlet run
will be stubbed along Lots 2-3, Block 3 to provide sufficient rear yard drainage. This storm sewer
inlet run will still require land acquisition, but this shared storm sewer easement would be granted
by the Developer as the Developer is still the current property owner of Lots 2 and 3. Drainage on
the east end of the project will utilize an existing set of inlets on Westview Lane East. The remaining
portion of the roadway drainage will flow east to west to a new set of inlets.
3.4. Streets and Sidewalks
Westview Lane East on the east side of the project was extended with the intent of continuing
through and servicing the Property. The existing Westview Lane East roadway is a local, residential,
urban asphalt roadway section, with the proposed roadway section being the same asphalt
roadway that presently exists. Westview Lane East will extend from the east to the west until it
bisects 4th Street East. 4th Street East will act as the collector for this development, helping to
connect the development to 40th Avenue East as the nearest arterial roadway. There are no
proposed sidewalks to be installed under this project due to the impending residential
construction. The sidewalks will be installed by each individual lot once the respective house is
constructed. Once the Property is fully built out, there will be a continuous sidewalk system
connecting the existing Westview 1st Addition development to the 4th Street East path system. The
only proposed sidewalk improvements involve removing and replacing the existing alignment for
the sidewalk stubs from 4th Street East to match typical City of West Fargo design standards with
the existing platted right-of-way. The 4th Street East sidewalk stubs were installed with the
intention of a future bump-out in mind on Westview Lane East, but once this area was platted (i.e.
after the 4th Street East improvements were completed), the bump-out was removed from future
projects.

4. EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES
Given the nature and history of this Property being the last phase of an already pre-planned
development for the area, it has been determined that the proposed utility and roadway infrastructure,
as called out in this report, is selected as the only alternative. No additional alternatives were evaluated
in conjunction with this report.
5. IMPROVEMENTS COSTS, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS, & FUNDING
The Improvements will include local improvements consisting of sanitary sewer mains and services,
water mains and services, fire hydrants, storm sewer, asphalt roadways with curb and gutter, street
lights, and associated miscellaneous installations. The proposed improvements can be seen in the
“Proposed Infrastructure” map in Appendix A.
The total project cost is estimated to be $540,000.00. It is estimated the local assessment will be
approximately $28,000-$35,000 per lot. A detailed “Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Cost” and
“Preliminary Special Assessment Allocations” can be found in Appendix B. The estimated local
assessment for each lot is based on the special assessment unit costs as shown in the “Preliminary
Funding Summary” document provided in Appendix B. The “Benefit Methodology Map” attached in
Appendix A helps to portray how the aforementioned estimated local assessments were applied to the
associated properties.
In addition to the proposed local special assessments, of which a detailed breakdown can be seen in the
“Preliminary Special Assessment Allocations” and the “Preliminary Funding Summary” in Appendix B, a
summary of the existing and pending special assessments for the Property are as follows:
• Existing Special Assessments per City of West Fargo Website: Approximately $13,000 per lot
• Pending Special Assessments per City of West Fargo Website: Approximately $3,000 per lot
• Proposed Pending for Westview 3rd Addition – Phase II: Approximately $28,000-$35,000 per lot
• TOTAL ESTIMATED EXISTING AND PENDING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS: Approximately $44,000-
$51,000 per lot
6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The proposed Improvements are intended to be in accordance with the City of West Fargo design
standards for public improvements. As stated above the Improvements include the installation of
sanitary sewer mains and services, water main and services, fire hydrants, storm sewer, asphalt
26

[PAGE 27]
roadways with curb and gutter, street lights and associated miscellaneous items. The proposed
Improvements will help to develop the currently vacant lots intended to be Phase II of the Westview 3rd
Addition development and are necessary to service the Property as requested by the Developer.
Based on the information contained within this report, we recommend approval of the Improvements as
presented and look forward to the directive of the City.
