91786.1 <br />Skp 20 E <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />��FROI+l: Mark Bernhardson, City Administrato��, <br />DATE: September 17, 1986 <br />SUBJECT: Howard Hull - Request for Municipal Service <br />Attached please find a review of the Howard Hull request together <br />with Michael Gaffron's analysis of the problem. The review the <br />City has done for the request has primarily been used for <br />clusters of homes. This analysis would be most appropriate from <br />now on for the review of individual properties also. <br />Issues raised by this request are as follows: <br />a. City Liability - It is alleged that because of a <br />failure to inspect, the current inoperable system. This <br />system was initially constructed without a permit and <br />City staff tried to work with the contractor to correct <br />it as best they could, with the system in place. The <br />City's inspections are done to the best of staff's <br />ability, but the City feels it does not have liablility <br />in the matter. <br />b. Precedence For Sewer - As this property is able to <br />put in a mound system, its proximity to sewer places it <br />in a catagory of at least 15 to 20 other properties in <br />the Hackberry area that are in close proximity to the <br />sewer, but are not hooked up. Additionally it raises <br />the issue of sewer in a rural/unsewered zone. <br />C. Review Procedures - As indicated this is the first <br />time the City staff used the comprehen:,ive plans' <br />guidance for sewer extention for an individual request. <br />Staff does feel however, that this is an appropriate <br />review and will be using such for indivi��ual requests in <br />the future. <br />J. astem Capac� - While existing pipe is significant <br />to perhaps carry a number of additional units, this <br />system ties into the Long Lake system at Watertown Road <br />and there is a capacity limit there based on existing <br />pumps at that lift station. The City is presently at <br />its limit for allocated units in this lift station and <br />any increase in units would require negotiation with <br />Long Lake. <br />e. Connection Charg_e - As you will recall the City has <br />had a policy that whenever a new person hooks into an <br />existing system that they pay a connection charge <br />equilivant to the assessment paid by each of the <br />property owners who originally hooked up. in the last <br />
