It is my understanding that a majority of the homes on the east siae of Smith <br />Avenue are in excess of two acres and have ample room lor their septic systems. <br />It is also mv understanding that due to lot sizes of less than one acre tor a numoer ot homes on <br />the south side of Smith and nvo hom.es Lv-mon Avenue that it is the city's intent to ultimately <br />service these lots with a sanitary sewer. It is further my understandmg that the cost of the sewer <br />installation would be borne by all members of the neighborhood. <br />WTien we purchased our home it was extremely important to me that the e.xisting septic system <br />was m good shape and the lot was of adequate size to provide for future expansjon n^ssmy. <br />Pan of the value of a nvo and one-half acre lot is the ability to relocate your septic system in die <br />event of a f ^ure. This fle.xibility is built into and is pan of the value of a lot ut this size. If it is <br />determined bv the cinr that there are homes in our subdivision that cannot function without a <br />sewe' line then it should be their sole responsibility to pay whatever the cost is tor sewer service <br />to their homes so thev are conforming. To spread the cost over confonmng users that have no <br />use or need for sewer in an elTon to make the whole project feasible and less cosUy for non- <br />confomung users is simoly not equitable. If there is a need in the future for a homeowner not <br />initially hooked up to the sewer then they should be charged at that point m time and the initial <br />contnbuting members should be reimbursed pro rata. <br />Please keep me advised of any further discussions regarding this proposed sewer line. <br />Sincerely,' <br />Nlatthew N.
