6. Extraordina Cost. The cost to install a connecting sewer line of the length <br />stated above would be approximately $50,000. To run connecting lines from <br />the common line to the improvements on the two lots would add <br />approximately $42,000 for the main lot, and approximately $32,000 for the <br />westerly lot, for a total cost of about $120,000. That is an extraordinary cost <br />by anyone's definition. When one considers that that cost would have to be <br />incurred to add but one more lot to the one lot that exists, the cost <br />consideration is even more extraordinary, especially since we would be <br />paying the entire cost ourselves. <br />7. Extraordinary Environmental Impact. A private sewer line that must be <br />excavated over the distances here in question would have a greater effect on <br />the environment, than would a sewer line of a more typical shorter length. <br />Again, this is an extraordinary situation. <br />The City may see other factors that make this situation unique and extraordinary, <br />but those set forth above demonstrate that our situation is extraordinary. <br />Accordingly, we respectfully request either (i) a "deviation" from the dictates of <br />the ordinance pursuant to Section 82-224(e)(1), or (ii) a variance from the requirements <br />of the ordinance, and that we be allowed to proceed with the addition of one more lot <br />without being required to connect our two resulting lots to the public sewer system. <br />Thank you. <br />3 <br />Sincerely, <br />Judson Dayton <br />
