I <br />March 5, 1990 <br />175 Landmark Drive <br />orono, Minnesota 55356 <br />Property, #23 on <br />Location map <br />Mr. Mark Bsrnhardson, City Administrator <br />City of Orono Municipal Offices <br />A'ost Office Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 <br />Re: Scy ?ov.er Prcj-ct <br />Dear Mr. Bernhardson: <br />We built a house at 175 Landmark Drive on 2.7 acres and moved in March <br />24, 1989. We installed a Mound septic system at a cost of $9,500, as <br />the only alternative allowed us by city officials. We requested a <br />drainage field septic system as a more cost effective alternative <br />because we knew the Stubbs Bay sewer project was pending. Our request <br />was denied. <br />We do not live on Bayside Road, but are opposite a cul-de«sac fronting <br />Bayside, which cul-de-sac is approximately 250 feet long, our present <br />septic system runs away from Bayside to the North and any location for <br />hookup is approximately 300 feet from the property line at the cul-de- <br />sac. The grade for a gravity flow line from my system to the proposed <br />lateral line is questionable and further clouds the issue of <br />feasibility. <br />My neighbor at 55 Landmark Drive has been excluded for the reasons that <br />distance and grade make his property too expensive to sewer. When I <br />add the 300 foot hookup charge to your city's estimates, I have a $24 - <br />25,000 charge to abandon my newly installed $9,500 system, when my <br />ii. this is que&tiouaole at tne ourset. <br />We have a fully conforming septic system and a fully conforming lot <br />with no frontage on Bayside Road. We consider our inclusion in the <br />Stubbs Bay sewer project arbitrary and capricious. We request that we <br />be excluded from participation in the use or funding of this project. <br />While we support the sewer project for those homeowners directly on the <br />lake with non-conforming septic systems, we strongly believe we should <br />not be included in this sewer project for the reasons stated above. <br />We also request that the lateral to our home that is currently drawn <br />on the plans be taken off, preferably before the plan is sent to the <br />Bayside community.
