Swanson Landmark Construction Inc. P.O. Box 248 Long Lake, MN 55356 Re: Septic Billing 3830 Bayside Road Dear Mr. Swanson: Thank you for your letter of AFril lOth regarding a septic system program billing that was certified for collection with your 1989 taxes. This billing was for the 1988 insgection year. The billing covered the period January 1, 1988 through December 31, 1988. The billing is mailed in the spring of each year to all properties with an existing residence as of January lst of that year. As of January 1, 1988, there was an existing, habitable residence with an existing septic system at 3830 Bayside Road. That residence existed at least until March 25, 1988 at which time a demolition permit was issued. Since the residence existed on January 1, 1988 and since the City does not make it a practice of verifying whether existing residences are occupied at a given time, the property was considered as subject to the septic program charge. On September 30 , 1988 , the special assessment search • provided by the City indicated no special assessments. That search was correct in that the resolution for certification of delinquent septic charges was not appreved until the October 10, 1988 Council meeting, at which time the special assessment was considered as legally pending. Regarding the o�.d house on Lot 1, Block 1, that house had never received a septic billing because, according to the Frevious owner, it was used for storage only. The City did become aware during your subdivision app lication that that house had been occupied for some unknown period of time, but because the intent was to abandon it, it was never placed on the bi lling list.
