2415 WILSHIRE BOULEVARD•MOUND,MN 55364-1668•PH:952-472-0600° FAX:95Z-472-0620°WWW.CFTYOFMOUND,COM February 5, 2019 By US Mail and Email Jeremy Barnhart,AICP City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway Orono, MN 55356-4510 RE: Inquiry Regarding Sewer Extension from City of Mound to Property at 4400 Doering Island in the City of Orono Dear Mr. Barnhart: Thank you for your email inquiry dated February 1, 2019 about the proposed extension of sewer from the City of Mound to the property located at 4400 Doering Island in the City of Orono. Staff respectfully offers the following information: 1. The City of Mound would require some form of formal release from the City of Orono, in the form of a memorandum or letter to the owner, allowing the owner to seek connection to Mound-owned utility systems in lieu of separate private systems as there are only impractical or no options to connect to Orono systems. The City of Mound should be included as a recipient on this letter. 2. If released by the City of Orono, the City of Mound would allow for connection of this property to its water and sewer systems,subject to the collection of SAC, Sewer Trunk Area Charges,and Water Trunk Area Charges(number of units TAD). This would initiate quarterly utility billing against the property that would be billed directly to the property by the City of Mound. 3. The City of Mound would consider the connection infrastructure to be fully private services beyond the existing limits of Mound public infrastructure and the responsibility of the owner to maintain over time. 4. The City of Mound would anticipate the owner gaining any and/or all easement(s), as may be necessary,for the lateral corridors. The owner shall also be responsible for obtaining any/all other-agency permits for the waterbody crossing and related construction activity and providing copies of all required permits to the City of Mound prior to the commencement of any involved or related work.
