Why do the citizens of Hackberry have to pay the <br /> $500 to the Orono plant when they are being hooked <br /> � up to Long Lake? <br /> � This is a plant cost that must still be paid. Wayne Long <br /> ! Everyone must pay this $500 connection charge <br /> no matter when the sewer was put in. <br /> � If your estimates are right, are the benefited Russell T. Lund <br /> � people paying $25,000 more than cost of benefits? 905 Tonkawa Road <br /> • You cannot assess more than the actual cost of Wayne Long <br /> • the project. <br /> � What does the Village do with $111,800 excess? <br /> � Wayne Long explained this is normal procedure <br /> so we do not fall short of funds. This excess <br /> � goes into a separate City account. <br /> � Didn't you know what costs will be as of Richard Nelson <br /> September 2 , 1975? Did we not have bids on <br /> � this? <br /> Unit price bids, not lump sum bids; the contractor Wayne Long <br /> ,� bids on feet of pipe, square yards of sod, square <br /> yards of bituminous and we measure how much he <br /> � has put in and he is paid on that basis. <br /> � What ti�as the hookup cost previous to this project? Ken Bowman <br /> � Fror.m 1963 to 1971 the cost was $225. Wayne Long <br /> � Is any charge by Metro Sewer being assessed? Lois Fossen <br /> � No. This is not being assessed but is paid at Mayor Searles & Wayne <br /> � time of hookup to City which in turn goes to Long <br /> Metro Sewer. <br /> � <br /> + What is your definition of a unit? Dunwreath Peasley <br /> � A unit is the minimum required lot size for that Wayne Long <br /> zone for which a building permit will be issued. The <br /> � Guide Plan and Zoning Code were established to <br /> determine whether a unit is Z acre, one acre, <br /> � and depending upon how a larger piece of land <br /> could be divided in the future. <br /> • <br /> • Why doesn't the two acre area have to pay sewer? <br /> S Searles explained that Orono had a differentiation <br /> as to where sewer and no�-sewered zones should <br /> � be, that the two acre zones do not need sewer in <br /> �order to get building permits, that the City will <br /> not allow two acre zoned properties to connect to <br /> the sewer line, that in many cases, the sewer line <br /> � cannot physically be used to allow connections until <br /> � additional extensions are built by the City; therefore, <br /> the City will allocate $115,000 on the general tax <br /> r <br />
