City deviate from (waive) the dictates of the applicable ordinance, or, in the alternative, <br /> that the City grant us a variance from the general requirement that the two lots be <br /> connected to the public sanitary sewerage system. <br /> The reasons for our request, and why our situation is unique or "extraordinary," <br /> are as follows: <br /> 1. Minor Impact. Only one lot is being added. Most subdivisions, both existing <br /> and planned, consist of many lots, oftentimes spaced closely together. Were <br /> those multi-lot subdivisions not to have sanitary sewer connections, the <br /> environmental impact could be extreme, and the City would have to monitor <br /> multiple sites. <br /> 2. Inability to Spread the Cost. Again, in a multi-lot subdivision there is a <br /> material difference between spreading the cost of connecting to the public <br /> sewer system over multiple lots, as opposed to our situation where the cost <br /> could only be apportioned between two lots. Here, the extraordinarily small <br /> number of lots (two) is unique. Further, in our case, we will be paying the <br /> entire cost ourselves. There is no one to pass this cost to or share it. <br /> 3. Large Parcel Size. The total parcel is 20.75 acres, and the two lots will be <br /> 13.57 acres and 5.17 acres in size. In other words, the site and each parcel <br /> are extraordinarily large. These are not lots measured in square feet but in <br /> acres. <br /> 4. Extraordinary Areas for Placement of Septic Sites. Because of the <br /> extraordinary lot size, the areas available for the placement of septic systems <br /> are also extraordinary. Nothing must be shoehomed in to fit the lots. <br /> 5. Extraordinary Sewer Line Length. To connect to the public sewer system <br /> lying along Old Crystal Bay Road, would require an extraordinarily long sewer <br /> line connection. The connecting line, from Old Crystal Bay Road to the <br /> easterly line of the westerly lot would be approximately 1,000 feet. That is an <br /> extraordinary distance for a connecting sewer line. Then, after running <br /> westerly approximately 1,000 feet, the connection to each lot would have an <br /> additional run of approximately 500 more feet, to reach the existing and <br /> planned improvements on the lots. <br /> 2 <br />
