The request is from Steve Coddon via Zac <br /> Essig of Schoell & Madson, Inc. Coddon has provided the City with a copy of a <br /> purchase agreement he has for Lots 22-29 inclusive, Lots 32 and 33, and part of Lot 21, <br /> Baldur Park. Coddon owns Lot 31 subject to an easement for septic system serving Lot <br /> 30.

This raises a number of questions about the buildability of <br /> various individual lots or lot groupings based on required setbacks from lake and <br /> wetlands, hardcover limitations, the potential need for a re-plat of the properties, access <br /> requirements, burial of overhead utilities, etc. <br /> More immediate questions are raised by the request for a permit to construct a sewer <br /> system. How many units will be served? Is this merely a private connection, or is it to <br /> be a City-owned public extension of the public system to serve multiple properties? <br /> Would the City even consider allowing private ownership of a sewer system that serves <br /> multiple properties? Per Municipal Code Section 14-80, it is my conclusion that each <br /> separate occupied property must have a separate connection, and that the sewer system <br /> Telephone(9521 249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
