;Rathryn Anderson <br /> 'July 5, 1991 <br /> Page 2 <br /> The Council has considered what standards would be appropriate <br /> for allowing exemptions for properties currently within the <br /> proposed project boundaries. Properties with at least 2 acres <br /> and providing testing to show that they have primary and <br /> alternate drainfield sites available, would be considered for <br /> exemption as long as other properties served by their <br /> neighborhood lateral had similar conditions. Your lot is 1.0 <br /> acre in area, and while your system may be functioning <br /> adequately, the properties directly to your west and north have <br /> problem systems, are both significantly less than 2 acres in <br /> area, and likely will need expensive repairs if the sewer project <br /> does not serve them. <br /> You mentioned that perhaps Cygnet Place should be included in the <br /> �roject. While Cygnet Place will possibly •need City sewer in the <br /> uture, it is not included in the current project. Including <br /> Cygnet Place at this time would not significantly decrease the <br /> overall project cost for the rest of the Stubbs Bay area. <br /> However, the Council is considering whether it is appropriate to <br /> defray a portion of the trunk cost now, expecting to recoup that <br /> investment at a future time when the Cygnet area is served. This <br /> would have the effect of reducing your assessment to some degree. <br /> At the June 24th City, Council meeting, the City Engineer was <br /> directed to update his previous feasability study, to indicate <br /> any changes in estimated project cost since his last update. <br /> City staff is working with the Engineer to ensure the most cost <br /> effective system design. The City Council is wel 1 aware that the <br /> cost of this project may be prohibitive for a share of the <br /> residents in the area. <br /> Again thank you for your letter stating your concerns. We will <br /> try to keep Stubbs Bay area residents informed as discussions on <br /> the project continue.
