• <br />MINUTES OF A REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD JULY 12, 1993 <br />RASMUSSEN REQUEST - CONT. <br />Goetten stated it has been suggested that Council allow up to one <br />year to bring a non - conforming system into conformance, and asked <br />if the current owner knew the buyers' intentions. <br />Applicant's realtor stated obviously the new owners are not very <br />happy about this future expense. He noted the time table has <br />created a major hardship to the Present and future owners. <br />Hurr asked if the mortgage holder is requiring the system to be <br />conforming. <br />Applicant's realtor stated the mortgage company is more concerned <br />that the system is functioning, which it is. The buyer has <br />indicated he would possibly like to construct a deck and has <br />reviewed with the City the requirements. <br />Jabbour said the City currently does not have a policy on when all <br />• systems will be required to conform, but they do have a policy on <br />how often to inspect and beginning this year all systems will be <br />inspected for separation. He did not anticipate a change in the <br />septic system requirements. He said he would not have a problem <br />with allowing a two year time period to make the system conforming. <br />Mayor Callahan suggested they not take any action that evening. He <br />stated they all feel the system will need to be upgraded to be <br />conforming, but the real estate agent has suggested an extension <br />to the time period for which the system must conform would be <br />helpful. <br />Hurr felt the owners should be given a one year time period from <br />the date the entire neighborhood is inspected, the same as anyone <br />else would be allowed. <br />Jabbour felt a two year time period would be fair, or until the <br />buyer improves the property, or the City adopts a new policy on <br />enforcement. Goetten agreed. <br />Mabusth stated the City currently does have a time period <br />established of one year. <br />Johnson noted mottling is not a true indicator of separation, and <br />he felt the City will be faced with many similar judgement calls. <br />• He stated the system was highly inspected during installation and <br />is functioning. <br />7 <br />
