Mayor RE: Inclusion of 3620 Eileen Street in the Bayside Sewer Project Dear City Administrators, Council Members and Mayor, We have soma sarious ccncams about the inclusion of the above mentioned property in the Bayside Sewer Project. Our lot is two acres, has fully conforming sewer, has had lui sewer problems, and has at least two other back-up sites. In addition we are over 500 feet from the lake and are not on the trunk line. In fact, it seems that extra effort and special laterals have been created just to include the two properties on Eileen Street. To induce the Eileen Street properties in the proposed sewer plan seems arbitrary and capricious. While we support the sewer project for those homeowners directly on the lake with non-conforming septic systems, we strongly believe we should not be included in this sewer project for the reasons stated above. Therefore, we are writing to ask the city administrators and the council to exclude us. We also request that the lateral to our home that is currently drawn on the plans be taken off, preferably before the plan is sent to the Bayside community. Over the past few weeks and months we have been asking why we were ever includec • i this project. The following reasons have been given: "When we looked at Bayside North, we thought lots of sites would need city sewer." in fact, only two (2) of the thirteen (13) properties need city sewer. The rest have plenty of land and conforming systems. Why should the other property owners foot the bill when they don't need it? 'The line was drawn there back in the early 1970's." Most of the properties were not developed at that point so this is no longer a relevant criteria. Lots within the "line" must be re-evaluated based on current lot size and suitability of septic systems.
