MflceGaffi^ra <br />October 23,1995 <br />Page2 <br />We respectfully submit that WEBBER HILLS be included as a priority area for <br />municipal sewer in your amended COMPREHENSIV £ PLAN to the <br />METROPOLITAN COUNCIL and. correspondingly, the December 31.1996 <br />mandatory date for compliance for mound systems be removed. <br />As you can see, 82% of the Weber HHls Homeowners surveyed indicated^! they would <br />prefer to petition for municipal sewer at this time and thereby waive the 1-/31/96 <br />requirement for the installation of a new mound-type system. 18% voted “No , however <br />all of the “No ” votes came from home owners which have installed mound systems. <br />Please note 3 of the 5 “No ” votes indicated that resolution of the moneys already spent is <br />the key issue. The current element of uncertainty is a major concern to all homeowners <br />and it is obviously a very serious consequence to put a homeowner in a holding <br />tank/pumping situation where they have a functioning trench system but no allowable <br />alternative location for a mound system This is a particularly untenable situation siiice, <br />based on your handout, over 1/3 (34%) of the Webber Hills lots have no alternative <br />location for a mound s>'stem. Without the elimination of the mandatory 1.^31/96 <br />requirement, the current dilemma w/ill be exacerbated as more mound systems will be <br />installed in the ensuing months <br />There are a number of other commeitts/ suggestions received from various individuals for <br />your consideration. <br />Design a municipal sewer system utiliang grinders and other concepts that <br />would enable the use of smaller pipe and, therefore, lower the total cost. <br />• Do not include concrete curbs, sidewalks, or other peripheral improvements <br />which would increase costs and detract from the rural atmosphere. <br />• Design and locate sewer mains across individuals’ property to minimize loss of <br />trees or damage to property. <br />We appreciate your consideration of this important issue and would be pleased to meet <br />with you to conduct funher discussions Your response or questions should be addressed <br />to Ann Wyer, 2130 Shevlin Dr. (476-2657) or Tom McCune, 2150 Shevlin Dr.
