Gity of Qrono <br /> 2750 KeEEy Parkway <br /> �P:O. Box�66 <br /> Crystat Bay, Ntinn. 55323 <br /> i.e. consideratior� of sewer co�nect�on fa� properties of t090 Brow� Rcf. Nort� a►�d <br /> 2085 Co�nty Road Six , Orono, lv�i�n. <br /> Dear �ity Offfcials, � <br /> tvty septic systert� requires repEacement. f have signed a contract to have a new <br /> system built and woufd have afready dorte sa except that the area is to water saturated <br /> to e�ter ir�to co�str�et�on. ! have recentky heard ttiat a plan to exter�d the city sewer <br /> system north on brown road and inta the Country CEub area and Dakota Ave. <br /> I am requestEng to F�ave bath af ti�e above named propertEes to be inciuded ir� <br /> fhis projecf for the reasons listed : <br /> 1. V�lher� S & P Testing walked my properties to searci�for a septic site, �ey <br /> found one s�te onfy o� my 2.8 acres that wo�ld bafely meet eode. Same por�ons of <br /> this site do not meet the rec}uirement of �!2 trtches of good soil below the septic. E was <br /> told that afl the rest of my land has water r�ghi near the surtace o�that because o� <br /> heavy truck traffic when my property was a free farm, that�he soi! is 'much to <br /> eompacted'to pEace a septic over it. ttVith this as a start�ng poin�, it is a given tEzat this <br /> mound system is doomed ta�aif. f was tvlc# a range o� 8 to 15 years. Wf�en this new <br /> systern fairs, anott�er site for a new system does not extst. <br /> 2. Tt�e site fourtd to be acceptable exists in the middf� of very dense, beautiful <br /> tree growth. Because this was arr ok# tree farm, many old, catt arborv�tae, pine, and <br /> birch trees exist here. There are�► 100 or rnore trees that woutd need to be eEeared <br /> arrd hauled off teaving a large void amongst the other trees. Besides the ang�ish of <br /> loosing so rnany otd trees, there is the great additional eost of cutting ar�d removi�g <br /> these trees. They would neecf to be cut ar►d chain ciragged out of the site because the <br /> a�ea cannot be driven or� or the soit wouEd be compacted makEng the site warthtess. { <br /> cannof have any of the tress moved Eo a new site for the same reason. The only optiort <br /> is to destroy natures beautifuf growth. Because of the size of these trees and tF�e � <br /> dense nature o� there growth, There remova! adds thousands to the cast of the new <br /> system. <br /> 3. The Eot next to brown road had Qnty one site iound to meet t�►e criteria for a <br /> mound systerr� aEso. 7he problerrt with this site is that i� Fs dErectly aver the Qnly <br /> suitabfe bui[ding sfte for a house. This matces tE�e new lot essentiaffy worthiess unEess <br /> it had access to city sewer. <br /> 4. The cost of this septie system has grov�r� �o be betweert $13,�00 to $16{10Q <br /> depeRdirzg on the finaE tree remova! biff. To spencE this amount of money on a pro�ec� <br /> that adds zero vafue to my house is unfortunate, especially wEtk� �he krrowtedge that at <br /> some point whi(e I am livi�g here fhaf E wit! be requtred to spend even more to �ooEc c� <br /> to city sewer. Because of the circurnstances, Et seerris prudent and wise to become <br /> part of the c�t}r sewer now and not have to pay double jeopardy. The ti�rtFng �s per�ect if <br /> not one year to Iate. <br /> f hope this adequately describes my dikerr�ma. My p�operties are avaifabte for a <br />
