Willie advised me that he indicated he would not <br /> oppose a vault toilet situation as long as it has no sink or other water plumbed into the bathroom <br /> facility. His conclusion was based on discussions with Public Works Sewer& Water Supervisor <br /> Scott Oberaigner in which it was noted that connection to the municipal sewer would be lengthy <br /> and potentially difficult, likely requiring boring under County Road 51. <br /> Three additional pieces of information lead me to conclude,however, that a vault toilet would <br /> not be allowed at Noerenberg. First,the property was assessed for municipal sewer as part of the <br /> 1963-1B Trunk interceptor sewer project(see attached assessment spread sheet). Second, at <br /> least three sewer connection stubs were installed to serve the property;these stubs appeaz on City <br /> as-built plans(copy and enlargement attached). Third, Orono Municipal Code Section 58-45 <br /> sta.tes that"The owners of all buildings where city sewer is available, or becomes available, shall <br /> connect the buildings to the city sewer..." A copy of that complete code section is attached. <br /> Based on the above, it is my conclusion that installation and use of a vault toilet system at <br /> Noerenberg Memorial Gardens would not be allowed. Please contact me at 952-249-4622 or via <br /> email at mgaf&on_,ci.orono.mn.us if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ���� � <br /> Michael P. G on <br /> Asst.
