TO: Mayor Callahan and Orono Councilmembers <br /> Ron Moorse, City Admi.nistrator <br /> FROM: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst. Planning & Zoning Administrator <br /> DATE: November 29, 1993 <br /> SUBJECT: 1340 Baldur Park Road - Sewer Connection <br /> List of Exhibits <br /> A - Plat Map/Sketch <br /> B - Letter from David Mess 4/11/89 <br /> C - Table - History of Ownership <br /> D - Letter to Jack Collins (Midwest Federal) 6/5/84 <br /> E - 1982 Approved Preliminary Plat Drawing <br /> Summary <br /> This residence is within the MUSA boundary and has a nonconforming septic system(due <br /> to lack of 3' separation from water table identified by mottling) which must be replaced by <br /> 12/31/95. There is no place on the property meeting the minimum criteria for system <br /> replacement. Connection to City sewer is the only reasonable alternative. <br /> Connection Issues <br /> The house sits on Lot 30 (see Exhibit A) and is owned by David Mess. The sewer in <br /> Baldur Park Road only extends up to Lot 21, about 500' from the house. William Franklin <br /> owns I.ots 21 through 29 and 31 through 33, all of which are vacant except for a detached <br /> garage on Lot 28. Mr. Mess has a driveway easement through Lots 21-29, but not a sewer <br /> easement. Mr. Franklin apparently has refused to grant Mess a sewer easement(see Exhibit B). <br /> All of Lots 21 through 33 were owned by Gladys and Fred Olson at the time sewer was <br /> installed in Baldur Park Road as part of the 1965-LS-1 project. Lot 21 was assessed front <br /> footage, and Lot 30, with the house, was assessed one $225.00 sewer unit. A 1970 letter to <br /> Fred Olson confumed that the sewer was provided to the property and that he was already past <br /> the deadline for coruiection. <br /> In 1974 Lots 21 through 29 and Lot 33 were sold by Olson. The history of property <br /> ownership appears in Exhibit C. <br /> Although the City has sent many letters demanding sewer connection and had many <br /> discussions with the various property owners through the years, it can be argued that the <br /> property technically has not been "served" by sewer since the interveni.ng Lots 21-29 were sold <br /> twenry years ago. <br /> C � 12-- 13-`�3 <br /> ,, <br /> ` 1�'(zcL�``� c�� 5?�;�INE`v 1-� - C� <br />
