. < <br />MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, January 27,2003 <br />7:00 o*clock p.m. <br />(#02-2860 SUNSTATE CONCEPTS, Continued) <br />Mr. Gorr, of Sunsta'c Concepts, stated that he would prefer the option to do so, but not be <br />required to hook-up. <br />Sansevere asked if there was precedent where a new home with the option to hook up to <br />city sewer chose to remain w ith a septic system. <br />Gaffron stated that the home had not been assessed as part of a sew’er project and has a <br />system designed for a four-bedroom home serving the residence, which the new home <br />would be. <br />With regard to the sewer project at Shoreline/Heritage, Gappa stated that it was assumed <br />that once the homes were replaced, they would automatically hook into municipal sewer. <br />Murphy asked what the cost of hook up would be. <br />Engineer Kellogg indicated that approximately 700 feet of line and connection would <br />likely run $17,000. <br />White asked what the house would likely sell for. <br />Gorr stated that the home would be listed at roughly $850,000 - $900,000. <br />Sansevere questioned why the applicant wouldn't want to hook up the new home to sewer. <br />Gorr indicated that he would like to be free to make that an option to the new owner. <br />Sansevere stated that, if the new owner was wilting to spend that kind of money on a new <br />home, they would probably want new sewer. <br />Kellogg stated that it would be difTicuIi to judge when an already 20 year old system <br />would fail. <br />Gaffron added that, although the new home would be designed as a four-bedroom home, <br />there is potential for greater consumption and usage. <br />Murphy maintained that the City had been under the assumption that, given the <br />opportunity to hook up to municipal sewer, rebuilds would do so. <br />Moorse reminded the Council that the City would unlikely allow a major remodel to <br />rebuild with only a septic system. <br />PAGE 22 of 28 <br />A,
