Staff recommends denial of this request because <br />of the availability of a mound system on this property <br />and Council review of past requests, the comprehensive <br />plan criteria, and other action taken by Council. <br />Bill and Marion Hull, 2445 Woodhaven Drive, were present <br />for this matter. Mr. Hull noted a number of unusual <br />circumstances which he felt the Council should consider. <br />He feels that the City should bear some responsibility <br />due to the irregularities and violations that occurred. <br />He explained that he presently has a home that cannot'be <br />refinanced, sold, or left unattended, and he can not <br />afford the extensive repair work required for a workable <br />septic system. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson noted that the connection <br />charge of approximately $9,000, if he were allowed to <br />hook -up, is much higher than the repair of the septic <br />system and also that a hook -up charge is not normally a <br />spread assessment. <br />Mr. Hull stated that during early discussions with staff <br />that hook -up charge was estimated approximately $1,000 <br />and he felt that the connection charge could be <br />negotiated. <br />7 <br />
