MINUTES OF THE STUBBS BAY SEWER HEARING — NOVEMBER 29, 101 <br />Fred Blanch, 3965 Bayside Road, asked if there was a possibility <br />of service extending westward, and felt if a large area were to <br />be done it would be more cost effective than sewering smaller <br />areas. <br />Gaffron announced that the City has looked at densely developed <br />areas, and the City has sewered as necessary those developments. <br />The City has also decided not to sewer the 2 or 5 acre rural <br />zones. He stated that his personal opinion is a 2 acre lot, in a <br />number of cases, may not be large enough to provide for both a <br />primary and secondary septic system. <br />Blanch asked if soon the Painters Creek area would need sewer. <br />Gaffron noted that those lots are,2 acres, which do not need <br />immediate attention. <br />Blanch asked that the City consider doing a sewer project <br />efficiently for a change. <br />Cook explained that the existing sewer system downstream has a <br />limited capacity of 200 units. The Stubbs Bay area may take <br />about 135 units. To go beyond those units, everything downstream <br />would need to be replaced. <br />Blanch asked that if sewer is provided, they run it along the <br />other side of the street near his property so as to save the oak <br />trees on his property. <br />Candi Rowlette, 3775 Bayside Road, responding to a previous <br />comment about the fact that all the Committee members live on <br />Bayside Road, agreed that all members of the Committee live on <br />Bayside, and reminded the public that anyone could have and still <br />could volunteer for the Committee. She noted the members have <br />volunteered a lot of time. She explained that the cost of <br />litigation has been built into the cost of the system, and if not <br />needed; may reduce the cost of the project. <br />Scott,�Anderson, Eastlake Street, asked why the project is being <br />considered if the testing to prove it is necessary has not been <br />done. <br />Mayor Peterson noted that further testing could be done. She <br />reiterated that the project has not been ordered yet. <br />Callahan stated it was his understanding that 25 -35% of the <br />systems in existence are already failing or on the verge of <br />failing, regardless whether they are discharging directly into <br />the lake or not. <br />Jabbour indicated that the project has been broken down into <br />different districts and people should try to isolate their area <br />and determine just that areas' need. He noted that Lake' Street <br />is one of the areas that requires immediate attention. <br />8 <br />
