I understand the property is not currently within the MUSA and would have to be • <br /> incorporated int the MUSA in order to have City sewer service. In our discussion,it <br /> became apparen the prospects of bringing the existing neighborhood of approximately <br /> 12 homes into a MUSA are nil given the complexities and timing.Staff has indicated a <br /> more comprehe ive project to serve the entire Orono Oaks neighborhood and home <br /> along Orono Orchard Rd.may be difficult because many of the homes have newer,more <br /> conforming systems,were built after 1985,and even if incorporated into the MUSA was <br /> possible,many Owners might not be interested. <br /> Staff has indicated the property may qualify for an exception to the Met Council density <br /> calculation concerns associated with MUSA additions because the house was built before <br /> 1985,has a septic system that is defined as non-compliant, and likely does not have a site <br /> available for replacement. <br /> Based on the abdve,we would be willing to pay all appropriate costs of bringing a sewer <br /> connection stub to the property at the time Orono Orchard Rd is reconstructed.As with <br /> most City sewer projects I am familiar with,I also request these costs be assessed over a <br /> • 5 year period with an option of payoff at any time within the 5 year period or at time of <br /> sale if there is one. <br /> Finally, I would hike to "partner"with the consulting engineer as the final layout is being <br /> made so that the property end of the stub will be brought to a point that will best insure <br /> the most direct line of further attachment to the home stack and best insure avoidance of <br /> existing buried utilities. <br /> As usual,I'm available for further discussion on this matter. <br /> tMo rdially, <br /> • <br /> oo <br /> Jim.Murphy <br /> wow?
