MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON APRIL 14,1997 <br />(#12 North Long Lake Sewer Project - Continued) <br />Criteria was discussed under which additional properties would be allowed to be sewered <br />that are located outside of the project and MUSA line. <br />Goetten indicated the Met Council is holding meetings in May to allow cities the <br />opportunity to indicate changes to the comprehensive plan. <br />Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to recommend a set amount assessed at $13,950 per <br />unit for 55 units at a total cost of $767,250. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />Jabbour moved, Kelley seconded, to establish a policy by wliich the total project would <br />be divided etjually between 55 units. Vote. Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />If the Maresh property were to be included, his cost would be at 100% or $19,000. <br />The Council discussed the criteria by which other properties may be included in an <br />existing project. The property must be adjacent to the existing project. If it is removed <br />by one lot and that lot is owned by the same person, the two lots may be combined in <br />order to allow the lot to be sewered and meet the adjacent property requirement. <br />Council also discussed the Johnson property and other properties in that vicinity <br />requesting hook up to sewer. <br />Kelley questioned the properties along West Farm Road between the two project areas. <br />The properties which have failing systems that cannot be resolved on said property may <br />be allowed to connect to sewer at some point in the future. <br />The Met Council's standards will be applied for all adjacent properties, including <br />properties larger than two acres. Properties must adjoin a sewer project and must have a <br />failing system or non-conforming system, with no site on which to install a lew septic <br />system. <br />Gaffron noted that the code says when two adjoining lots are owned, one lot cannot be <br />sold if it leaves the remaining lot substandard. <br />Radio stated that properties do not have the right to be hooked up to sewer. It is <br />considered a privilege. If two lots can be combined for legitimate reasons, sewer may <br />then be acquired if properly adjoins the sewer project area. <br />Gaffron indicated the cost of paving is included as part of the total assessment. Council <br />agreed to paving of Dakota Avenue. <br />i
