MINUTES OF THE STUBBS BAY SEWER HEARING — NOVEMBER 20, 1991 <br />Crane replied that she can say that because she will be served <br />immediately with sewer. <br />Cook explained that the inclusion of Cygnet did reduce the amount <br />somewhat, but not equivalent to 29 times. He noted that by <br />taking out Cygnet Place,,the trunk cost probably would be reduced <br />by $80,000. <br />Jabbour observed that Crane is assuming that the City is doing <br />everything wrong and that the City will not assume any additional <br />cost. <br />Crane felt that the line should be installed immediately for <br />hookup, and later assessed for incremental cost. <br />Goetten explained that when looking at the area, they looked at <br />areas that were close to the lake that were having problems. She <br />noted there are some failing systems on Cygnet Place. <br />Crane noted that Cygnet Place was included in the project without <br />the benefit of the general study. He noted that the City did not <br />review each property individually. He felt the cost implication <br />of adding in this area is so detrimental to them that there is no <br />way to justify it, especially when there is no intent to supply <br />the lateral. <br />Cook noted the report recommends certain areas for immediate <br />hookup. The report does not make a decision on who is included <br />or excluded from the project. He noted that if the full amount <br />is assessed, the property would be able to hook up. <br />Crane noted that if only assessed for the trunk charge, he would <br />be unable to hook up, and felt his property was only included in <br />the project to reduce the trunk cost for everyone else. <br />Don Gronberg, 110 Leaf Street, noted his property is vacant land <br />on which they had plans to build a retirement home. His property <br />is 3/4 of an acre and asked if he would need variance approval to <br />build. <br />Goetten noted that if the lot was determined to be unbuildable, <br />there would be no assessment. <br />Gaffron reviewed that it is a substandard lot which would require <br />variance approval to build. It should be determined by .both the <br />City and owner prior to assessment whether the lot would be <br />approved as buildable. <br />Frank St. Lawrence, 253 Cygnet Place, asked if the cost could be <br />reduced if all agreed to the assessment by reducing the <br />litigation factor. <br />Mayor Peterson agreed that it would be reduced if all agreed to <br />the project and assessment. <br />15 <br />
