MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 15, 1984. PAGE 2 <br /> Gary Printup of 1261 Briar Street asked why the City is <br /> figuring the cost for each homeowner based on a unit <br /> charge. Printup stated that each lot differs in <br /> sa,uare footage and that the person who owns more <br /> acreage should have to pay the additional monies. <br /> Printup stated that the City should base their <br /> assessment the square footage method . Printup <br /> stated that the Art Center should be included in the <br /> study. <br /> City Administrator Benson stated that if the Art <br /> Center gets sewer that they will expand in an area that <br /> has limited parking facilities . <br /> Septic System Installer Gaffron stated that the Art <br /> Center was excluded because it has ample area to <br /> continue the system that it is using and is working <br /> fine. Gaffron stated that they just put in a big <br /> septic system appro�imately 5 years ago. Gaffron <br /> stated that the City ' s application f or grant f unding <br /> from the PCA might have been less compelling if the <br /> large Art Center property had been included, but since <br /> PCA funding is clearly not forthcoming, he had no <br /> objection to considering the Art Center for inclu.sion. <br /> Mayor Butler stated that in the past the costs have <br /> been spread on a unit and footage basis . <br /> Dianne Jentilucci of 1295 Briar Street stated that the <br /> Art Center probably has toxic materials draininginto <br /> their septic system and could reach the underground <br /> water. <br /> One �an suggested condemning the whole neighborhood <br /> and then the City could get federal funding. <br /> LaDean McWilliams of 1130 Willow Drive asked why the <br /> City doesn' t assess the cost of this sewer project all <br /> throughout Orono. McWilliams stated that she is for <br /> sewer but is worried about the people with fixed <br /> incomes . <br /> Councilmember Frahm stated that if the City did that <br /> they could besetting a precedence. Frahmstated that <br /> with other sewer projects the neighbors were assessed <br /> because they were the ones to benef it. Frahm stated <br /> that those people could come back and ask why the City <br /> didn't do the same for their neighborhood. <br /> Septic System Inspector Gaffron asked the neighbors <br /> why this area is trying to force other areas that don't <br /> have problems to have sewer and to pay f or the sewer <br /> that this area would benefit from. <br />
