Dunn & McCuskey S&W Charges Analysis <br /> April 15,2008/April 7,2009 <br /> Page 3 <br /> a connection fee is largely an issue of fairness and equity. No property should be afforded <br /> the privilege of connecting to the sewer system without paying its reasonable share of the <br /> costs to build and maintain that system. In the typical case where the cost of a `retrofit" <br /> sewer project is assessed equally to all benefiting properties, a nearby property not originally <br /> assessed should pay its share of those original costs at the time it does connect; it should not <br /> be allowed to connect at no cost to a system that others have paid for. In the case of a new <br /> development, where the developer builds a sewer system to serve new homes, the developer <br /> surely adds a portion of the cost of that sewer construction to the price of each lot. Should <br /> those lot buyers be subsidizing the sewer for properties not part of that subdivision? <br /> Probably not - outside properties connecting to that system should be charged a fair and <br /> equitable connection fee. However, the City as recipient of that fee has historically not <br /> redistributed it among the original subdivision lot owners. <br /> Possible Dunn Expectations. There is potentially an eapectation by Dunn that no City of <br /> Orono connection fee will be due for her connections. Remember that Lazniarz had to <br /> purchase an easement from Dunn for access to the Creekside Development over a portion of <br /> Dunn's property (Tract G, RLS 352). In correspondence between MPG and Dunn's attorney <br /> Jeremy Steiner in 2004, Steiner asked that the Developers Agreement include language <br /> stating that 1) two sewer and water stubs will be installed along Dunn's lot line and that 2) <br /> Dunn will not be assessed for City water and sewer. My response was: <br /> 1. The preliminary plat approval resolution acknowledges WDD's (Henry Lazniarz's) <br /> intent to provide sewer and water service to the Dunn property, but does not require <br /> that WDD provide such service. Assuming that WDD agrees to `the installation of two <br /> water and two sewer service stubs to serve the Dunn property' becoming a requirement, <br /> the City will not object to this being added as a condition of the Developer's Agreement. <br /> 2. In terms of assessment for the installation, the Cit�� of Orono will require that WDD <br /> bears the entire cost of construction of all improvements including sewer, water, road <br /> and utilities. WDD will upon acceptance by the Cit3�, turn over the sewer and water <br /> facilities to the City of Orono, and they will become part of the Orono utility system, to <br /> be operated by Orono. <br /> However, we are assuming that the City of Long Lake will charge WDD (or will charge <br /> Orono) some form of `per unit connection charge' for the privilege of connecting into <br /> the Long Lake sewer and water systems. Our expectation, pending completion of a <br /> formal agreement between the two cities, is that WDD will pa,y Long Lake directly for <br /> the connection charges for his seven units, but I have no knowledge of whether he will <br /> pay the connection charge(s) for Dunn. I don't l�now when Dunn will make use of the <br /> two units. I don't know whether Long Lake will expect up-front payment of a <br /> connection charge for all potential units (we think that there might be as many as ll <br /> total units over the long term,induding WDD's seven, Dunn's two,and one each for the <br /> properties at 130 and 140 Brown Road),or whether Long Lake will only collect now for <br /> the 7 initial units and collect for future units as they are connected. And I don't know <br /> whether Long Lake would bill those in the future to the individual users or would <br /> expect that Orono pay whatever connection charge is due (in which case Orono would <br /> bill or assess this to the individual proPerty being connected at that time). <br />
