4. Fox Kidgc • 7 homes - subdivision created in 1963. • Lot sizes average appro.ximately 1 acre. • Wetlands have an impact on 3 of the lots. » 3 of 7 are within or partially within the Shoreland Overlay District. System Conditions: • All are trench or bed systems originally constructed from 1964 to 1968. « 5 of 7 have had significant drainfield repairs or additions during the period 1970- 1982. • 1 of 7 is failing as of 1992. with 1 other showing signs of pending failure. • Confomiity inspections have not been perfonned yet, but all are potentially non- conforming based on the separation requirement. • Lot sizes, slopes, and wetlands make system replacement questionable on some lots. potential for Con nection to Sewer: • This cluster of houses is Vo mile north of Webber Hills, and '.4 mile south ot the Orono/Long Lake boundary. • The nearest Orono sewer line is at Hackberry Hill, approximately mile distant. The most efficient way to sewer Fox Ridge would be a connection up Brown Road into the Long Lake sewer system. This would, of course, require a prior agreement between the two cities. 5. Brackett's Point • Area includes 26 existing residences on 22 separate properties, all of which abut Smith’s Bay, Brown ’s Bay or Tanager Lake. .Ml are within Shoreland Overlay District. Average developed lot size: 3 acres approximately. • Range in lot sizes: 0.5 acres - 22 acres approximately. • Area is identified as a rural cluster due to some existing development on very low land and general area proximity to lakeshore. System Conditions' Of 26 systems, none are currently failing. Systems range widely in age and construction. 2 i>f 26 are mound systems, remainder include trenches and Ived.s. 16 of 2(> have been constructed or had major repair since 1978. Generally sandv conditions exist throughout the aiea. which has limited the incidence of failure. ^ n ^ i • 1 of 2 mounds has had chronic intennittent seepage, other is adjacent to H ikh I plain and potentially affected by drainage problems. Perhaps 10 to'l5 of 26 are potentially non-conforming systems To date, one system (believed to be serving 3 residential units) has been inspected for conformity and was found to be non-conformiini. No others have been inspected tor conformity. Approximately 5 of 26 lots may be too small to contain a site for replacement system.
