Tliat fact and the mere geographical location in relation to the entire project area, led to an early conclusion to serve your immediate neighborhood. In the normal situation, a sewer lateral would have been constructed within Landmark Drive, with stubs to serve your property, the Evans' vacant lot, and an extension along Kyle's driveway outlet to serve their property. This lateral would have served your property at the southeast boundary but would have been extremely expensive to construct due to replacement of your private road. Further, the extension to the Kyle's along their outlot would be similarly expensive due to the extreme depth. In order to reduce the cost of the project (and therefore the cost to the property owners) it was determined that the lateral would be constructed along the old driveway along the west side of Evans' building site. This lateral would end at Kyle's property line and stubs would be placed to serve all three properties. Your stub v;ould have been at the southwest boundary of your property. Subsequent to this plan, you initiated discussions with various City staff and consultants regarding the extreme expense of connection to a stub at this location on your property. The main problem factors included having to follow a connection route northwest around the existing pool, then south through the hill to get to the southwest corner.
