The lack of available State or Federal funding for <br />retrofitting neighborhoods with sewer laterals has forced the <br />City to fund such high-cost projects locally. While it has been <br />the City’s policy that individual neighborhoods will bear the <br />cost of solving their sewage disposal needs, the courts have <br />generally held that properties cannot be assessed amounts in <br />excess of the actual value added to the property by a specific <br />project. in the past, the City of Orono has been forced to <br />participate in the cost of local lateral system construction as a <br />result of the assessment appeals process. <br />Alternative waste management studies completed in the 1980s <br />have carefully considered the optional solutions for treatment <br />difficulties enumerated in the 1980 Comprehensive Plan. In each <br />case, the relSwive proximity to the existing sewer trunk lines or <br />interceptors has made the option of sewer lateral installation <br />the most feasible solution. <br />A number of rural clusters of existing development have a <br />potential for further septic system problems due to lot sizes <br />less than the T acre minimum and marginal soil/topographic <br />conditions. These clusters will be monitored closely to ensure <br />continued adequate sew«;i7e treatemert and disposal. If probl^s <br />occur which cannot be solved through on-site methods, alternative <br />waste management studies will be conducted to determine the best <br />possible solutions. These clusters are identified in detail in <br />the 1980 Comprehensive Plan and iclude: <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />Cygnet Place <br />Bay Ridge <br />Foxhill <br />Webber Hills <br />Fox Ridge <br />Bracketts Point <br />7. <br />8. <br />9. <br />10. <br />11. <br />Orono Orchard Road <br />East Long Lake Road <br />North Long Lake <br />Country Club <br />Chippewa Lane <br />I. Expected Sewer improvements <br />Based upon the existing sewer facilities, the Metropolitan <br />Interceptor capacity assigned to Orono, and the foregoing <br />alternative waste management studies, the following improvements <br />as shown on Map 3 are expected to be constructed in the period <br />1990-2000 s <br />- -r." .
