Tos Mark E, Bernhardson, City Administrator <br />From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Date: October 25, 1988 <br />Subject: SAC Refund Eligibility List <br />Deputy Clerk Teri Naab has completed a listing of all properties in <br />Orono for which SAC charges have been collected but which are connected to <br />septic systems and did not have City sewer laterals available. This list <br />numbers 323 properties. <br />Of these 323, 7 properties are located within the Stubbs Bay <br />Alternative Waste Management Study Area, and have a potential for being <br />sewered in the next year or two. This leaves 316 properties which have <br />paid SAC charges but are not contemplated in the current Comprehensive Plan <br />to be sewered in the near future. <br />Given that your next question might be, what additional areas would <br />the City have to consider sewering in the next decade? I would list the <br />following clusters of historically denser-than-2-acre-development: <br />-Lake View Terrace & Country Club Road <br />-Dakota Avenue and Long Lake Boulevard <br />-Heritage Drive and Heritage Lane <br />-Cygnet Place <br />-Shevlin Drive and Webber Hills Road <br />Obviously, if any of these 5 specific areas were excluded from a SAC <br />refund due to the potential for future sewer connection, this would be the <br />first public inkle that additional areas of the City are contemplated for <br />sewers other than the 5 areas delineated in the 1980 Comprehensive Plan. <br />In these 5 new areas, the number of SAC charges that could potentially be <br />refunded is 31. The average SAC refund for these areas would be in the <br />range of $300.00. <br />If these properties are not refunded the SAC charge, this would <br />represent a t i: cure potential cost saving to each home owner of $275.00 <br />under the 1989 SAC rate of $575.00, and the savings would increase as the <br />SAC charges rises over the years. In my discussion today with Ray Odde of <br />the MWCC, he indicated that the SAC charges paid previously are considered <br />as paid-in-full and there will never be an incremental additional SAC <br />charge for new connections under current policies.
