Adams: • <br /> �ae received a copy of D2r. Du�f ' s letter �.o you. �•1e haven' t hear3 <br /> from you, but we assume that you intend to refer this local service <br /> ques�ion back to the City as is your normal practice. Since you <br /> are personally fariiliar with the area, however, I thought you would <br /> like to know what has transpired on this to date. <br /> Mr. Duff' s letter is misleading on several points. The sewer built <br /> along County Road IS is �he MwCC` s Orono-Long Lake Interceptor, not <br /> a 1oca1 trunk secaer line. A local project has been installe3 to � <br /> serve properties adjacent to �uff ' s. His property was excluded <br /> because that is what he told the City Council he wanted. <br /> Mr. Duff and several others in similar circumstances were individually <br /> asked to chose whether they wanted to participate in the local sewer <br /> projects or not. These owners were given this opt�on because they <br /> were on the perimeter of the proposed sewer project area and because <br /> they each had o��er two acres of land, enough to a11ow adequate on- <br /> site sewage treatment and to conform to rural zoning requirements . <br /> Some chose to opt-in, others to opt-out. � All ��ern told in the st:ir.mer <br /> of 1980 that their decision would be final. Mr. Duff was given <br /> several opportunities to become involved . <br /> This point is important. The City Council bent over backward to be <br /> fair to the citizens and to keep them fully informed. People were <br /> justly concerned with the high cost of assessments. They did not <br /> want to pay for an expensive project only to have an adjacent <br /> landowner come in later without paying a fair share up front. All <br /> costs were determined on the basis of the numver of units served <br /> at the time the project was ordered. Two years worth of assessments <br /> and interest have already been paid. <br /> BUtLU111:a LII�I�I. - 17)•1337 � AUNI\I�fR,�ll(11 L �11A\lt �7) ')Sb • Yl bllC MUNKJ �'j 7)34 <br /> .��Jti�l��� <br />
