City deviate from (waive) the dictates of the applicable ordinance, or, in the alternative, <br />that the City grant us a variance from the general requirement that the two lots be <br />connected to the public sanitary sewerage system. <br />The reasons for our request, and why our situation is unique or "extraordinary," <br />are as follows: <br />1. Minor Iml2act. Only one lot is being added. Most subdivisions, both existing <br />and planned, consist of many lots, oftentimes spaced closely together. Were <br />those multi -lot subdivisions not to have sanitary sewer connections, the <br />environmental impact could be extreme, and the City would have to monitor <br />multiple sites. <br />2. Inability to Spread the Cost. Again, in a multi -lot subdivision there is a <br />material difference between spreading the cost of connecting to the public <br />sewer system over multiple lots, as opposed to our situation where the cost <br />could only be apportioned between two lots. Here, the extraordinarily small <br />number of lots (two) is unique. Further, in our case, we will be paying the <br />entire cost ourselves. There is no one to pass this cost to or share it. <br />3. Large Parcel Size. The total parcel is 20.75 acres, and the two lots will be <br />13.57 acres and 5.17 acres in size_ In other words, the site and each parcel <br />are extraordinarily large. These are not lots measured in square feet but in <br />acres. <br />4. Extraordinary Areas for Placement of Seotic Sites. Because of the <br />extraordinary lot size, the areas available for the placement of septic systems <br />are also extraordinary. Nothing must be shoehorned in to fit the lots. <br />5. Extraordinary Sewer Line Length. To connect to the public sewer system <br />lying along Old Crystal Bay Road, would require an extraordinarily long sewer <br />line connection. The connecting line, from Old Crystal Bay Road to the <br />easterly line of the westerly lot would be approximately 1,000 feet. That is an <br />extraordinary distance for a connecting sewer line. Then, after running <br />westerly approximately 1,000 feet, the connection to each lot would have an <br />additional run of approximately 500 more feet, to reach the existing and <br />planned improvements on the lots. <br />2 <br />
