MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD SEPTEMBER 14, 1992 <br />HARREN - STUBBS BAY SEWER PROJECT - CONT. <br />Mayor Peterson also agreed. <br />Gaffron noted there were two additional properties Included with <br />the project based or the design of the pipe. He said the question <br />here is, are there additional properties with similar situations <br />as Harren? <br />Jabbour asked how far Harren is from the Lake. <br />Gaffron said Harren Is approximately 500’ from the Lake but <br />geographically one could argue that the property should be hooked <br />up to sewer. He stated the pipe would have gone right by his house <br />if It had been placed in the street, and properties on both sides <br />of him will be sewered. <br />Butler suggested that a future owner will be extremely mad at the <br />City when the septic system falls and he finds out the City did not <br />force the owner to connect at this time. <br />Jabbour said 'f it were his house he would hook up immediately. He <br />stated he is trying to interpret the City’s philosophy. <br />Goatten asked If the property Is within the MUSA boundaries. <br />Gaffron noted that line has been set to be concurrent with the two <br />acre zoning district. <br />Butler said that after making accommodations In the design of the <br />sewer responding to Harren’s concerns, for h*m to now say he does <br />not want sewer is unthinkable. <br />Harren Indicated he was not involved in the discussion to move the <br />pipe. He felt the City moved the pipe to best serve their <br />interests, not his. He stated he tried to suggest to the City the <br />oest alternative. He added. In 1989 he Installed a new mound system <br />and was told at that time he could not use a holding tank until the <br />sewer was available. He noted he was included because of a <br />technicality, and he should be excluded for the same criteria. <br />Gaffron said from early on the City h»s tried to accommodate <br />Harren. He referred to a letter dated In 1989 to Eiden Construction <br />stating he would be happy to discuss options of action with regards <br />to *he septic system. <br />]
