MINUTES OF TiEIE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 26, 2006 7:00 o'clock p.m. a (3. JAMESTOWNROAD SANITARYSEWER PROJECT ASSESSMENT HEARING, • Continued) Moorse noted a property owner with a conforming septic system may also elect to request exclusion from the project assessment and the City will then finance the assessment debt service cost until the property does connect to the sewer system. At the time a property that requested exclusion from the assessment wants to connect to the sewer system, payment of the fiill current sewer connection fee is then required before a sewer connection permit is issued. McMillan inquired what happens if the property has an alternate septic site. Moorse stated regardless if an alternate septic site exists on the property, once the current septic system on the lot becomes nonconforming, that property would be required to connect to city sewer. Mayor Peterson opened the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. The public hearing was closed at 7:08 p.m. McMillan noted one property owner requested to be excluded from the project. Moorse stated that property owner would be deleted from the assessment roll and would then pay the full connection fee at the time the property is connected to the sanitary sewer. McMillan inquired what state law requires be done with the old septic tanks. Kellogg stated the tanks would have to be abandoned, which typically means that the top is removed and the walls collapsed and the area filled with soil. Kellogg stated the costs to abandon the tank are not included in the project costs but that the property owners were given an estimate on the anticipated costs to complete that work. Ben Young, 3105 County Road 6, inquired whether the grinder pump could be installed in the septic tank. Kellogg stated the pump does not work in the septic tank. a.
