In that letter you <br /> identified the desire to connect your property to the sanitary <br /> sewer system at County Road 15. <br /> The City has received similar requests from other rural <br /> residential land owners where sewer lines run adjacent to their <br /> properties. In fact a similar request was made by the previous <br /> owner of your property in 1981 after the 80-1 sewer project was <br /> assessed and construction plans approved. Resolution #1180 <br /> (approved August 1980) excluded the property from the 80-1 sewer <br /> project because the property contained approximately 2.9 acres <br /> and owner had not elected to join in the project. In 1981, the <br /> owner sought two sewer connections so that the 2.9 acre parcel <br /> could be subdivided. The City advised that a rezoning <br /> application would have to be filed as the property did not <br /> contain the required 4 acres in area. The owner never followed <br /> through on the rezoning application and later divided off the <br /> additional .9 acres for combination with the adjacent Gregory <br /> property. <br /> You should be aware that in Council ' s review of such <br /> requests, that it is the burden of the petitioner or applicant to <br /> provide proof that the property is not suitable for septic <br /> expansion if a new system was required because the existing <br /> system was inadequate or failing. It would be appropriate that <br /> you contact a consultant trained in the evaluation of rural <br /> properties for potential septic development. Such consultant <br /> would provide appropriate soil borings, percolation tests, and <br /> analysis of slope conditions on the property to determine if area <br /> for septic expansion is available. Your consultant should confer <br /> with Michael Gaffron before he proceeds to make the necessary <br /> evaluation as part of your formal petition for sewer. <br /> .
