He noted the letter of request from Mr. Hull along with Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron's analysis of the problem which was included in Council's packet for review.

City Administrator Bernhardson noted that the connection charge of approximately $9,000, if he were allowed to hook-up, is much higher than the repair of the septic system and also that a hook-up charge is not normally a spread assessment. Mr. Hull stated that during early discussions with staff that hook-up charge was estimated approximately $1,000 and he felt that the connection charge could be negotiated.
