TO: Mayor and City Council 8186.2 // FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Administrato4P1 3 PolU'V41"" %!tFfING DATE: August 1, 1986 f,UU 1 1 j01;:p SUBJECT: VanEeckhout Request for water Hookup m As you will recall the City of Orono and the City of Long Lake have agreed to permit utilization of sewer by the VanEeckhout property immediately north of the City of Long Lake and immediately east of North Brown Road. Based on that approval, the builder submitted his applications for a building permit which indicated a hookup to Long Lake city water. Mr. VanEeckhout was notified that unless he had been approved for water staff could not approve the plans unless he wanted to submit the plans with a well. He has submitted with a well and a building permit has been issued. Attached please find the memo from Mike Gaffron outlining the issues related to water hookup. This property is not contained : ithin the water agreement area (see attached) as it was negotiated between the City of Long Lake and the City of Orono back in 1984. As such it would require concurrence of both ties. While such connection of the property does not necessitate an "extention", it is still in the rural area and sewer was permitted as the only feasible means for sanitary disposal. Based on the initial request there has been no demonstrated need of the hookup to water being the only alternative available to the applicant. This has been indicated to the applicant and it has been requested that he bring forward any facts that he feel appropriate to the situation. If the City of Orono does concur with his request, the City would then forward a request to the City of Long Lake requesting its approval for hookup to their water system. RECOMMENDATION It is the staf f Is recommendation based on the information submitted to date that the request be denied, as hookup to water is merely a convenience and cost saving to the developer and a well is a feasible alternative for this site. The basis for this recommendation is that there may be several other properties equally situated that abut the Long Lake water system who may also desire to hookup. Such hookups were not in the contemplation of the rural area currently designated in the comp plan unless there is a rezoning and/or comp pl:.i amendment. PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by , seconded by _, to deny the request for water hookup to the property as an onsite well is a feasible alternative in this case. Ayes _, Nays cc: Charles VanEeckhout Michael Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator John Gerhardson, Public Works Coordinator
