There is one recent instance where staff did determine a connection fee for an existin� house that was part of the new subdivision bv virtue of havina sold part of its land to create the subdivision. That property is the Williamson house at 190 N. �'illow, which became part of the Glendale Cove subdivision. The Williamsons initiallv requested a sewer connection to the Hackberr}' sewer in 2004. prior to the Glendale Cove application. At that�ime the City advised them that their actual costs of connection would likely be reduced b5� waiting until the adjoining property on the east side of w�illo�� Drive was developed. This would avoid a lon� connection route and�crossin� of Willow with an individual service. Shortly thereafter they sold a portion of their property to Steve Bohl who as part of the development of Glendale Cove in 2006-2007 installed sewer and water lines as well as a road, stormwater facilities and other improvements to serve 8 ne�- homes. Those sewer and water lines became the property of the Cit`�, and the City maintains them as part of its s�rstem. As part of that project, Bohl installed municipal sewer and water stubs to serve the Williamson property. In 2004 we had advised the Vvilliamsons that a sewer connection fee based on the 1973-1 Hackberr�� project would be due. Because the Glendale Cove project subsequently included extension of sewer laterals and �ti�ater mains that the City would then own, staff determined it would be most consistent with City policy to establish sewer and water connection charges for the Willian�son property� (and any other existin� homes that would connect to the Glendale Cove lateral system) based solely on the costs of the Glendale Cove project, disre�ardin� the Hackberry� project. The 8 ne�� lots in the subdivision would not be subject to the Orono connection charae because their developer paid the entire costs of installation of that s�stem. Per discussions with City En�ineer Tom Kelloga and City� Administrator Ron Moorse in late 2007, a forn7ula was established in for assiQnina cormection fees for the Glendale Cove sewer and water system. based on the prorated line item costs of sewer or w�ater facilities installation plus 1/2 the cost of providing basic access for utility maintenance.
