PUBLIC HEARING, SEPTEMBER 8 , 1980 Page 5 <br /> Mayor Van Nest : Yes, this was explained in our letter <br /> to you. <br /> Mr. Weed: I did not see this in your letter to us. I <br /> do not believe this was included. <br /> Mayor Van NeSt: This was included in our letter to you <br /> and was also in our legal notice in Orono ' s official paper. <br /> Mayor Van Nest: For the record, Mr. Weed, our letters <br /> to you not only spells out the appeal deadline , but also <br /> tells you the condition of your present on-site system, <br /> all hidden costs, and what the City intends to do to allow <br /> all property owners input up to the October 10 , 1980 <br /> certification deadline. I believe the City has, through <br /> our Administrator, informed you of all project details, <br /> your assessment costs and yearly bond retirement costs. <br /> We have for you additional handouts if you desire them now. <br /> Mr. Weed : I did not receive a notice in 1979 of the <br /> condition of my on-site system. <br /> Mayor Van Nest: Mr. Weed, we all agreed to wait until <br /> the interceptor was completed and on stream before we made <br /> a decision. Now, that decision is up to you. The City <br /> intends to enforce its ordinances and if there is no other <br /> recourse , properties might have to be condemned. <br /> Mr. Weed: In 1978-79 , we were not notified if we complied <br /> or not. You are now threatening us and using your ordin�nce <br /> to force us to sewer our areas. <br /> Mayor Van Nest: Mr. Weed, we are giving you the facts as <br /> we promised we would. Your property, as everyone elses, <br /> has been identified in our letter to you explaining your <br /> septic tank condition. <br /> Mr. Weed: I want each property owner to be notified if <br /> they comply or no�. <br /> Dave Johnson, 500 Hanlon Avenue : Mr . Gaffro;n was very <br /> helpful to me and to others in our area explaining <br /> to us the problems. I am very disappointed in our engineers <br /> and Council 's decision. The cost is impossible to absorb. <br /> We need alternatives to finance this project. <br /> Councilman Paurus : I am very concerned with the cost of <br /> this project and I know others are too. We have attempted <br /> to defer the upgrading of your septic systems until the <br /> interceptor was complete. New septic tanks and drainfields <br /> might not satisfy the problem or resolve the pollution issue. <br /> Gordon Ritz , 1165 West Ferndale Road: Has everyone been <br /> informed of their problems? <br /> Mike Gaffron: I have tried to speak with each of you about <br /> individual problems. <br />
