20 April 1998 <br /> `�����, ._.��� <br /> Mr. Stephen Weckman ��� � � ��,�� <br /> City of Orono <br /> PO Box 66 Gi�f`r �:;� �;;=;�;�� <br /> Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> Dear Mr. Weckman: <br /> I am writing to follow up to our conversation of approximately one month ago regarding <br /> the septic system located near the rear of our property at 258 Cygnet Place. In August of <br /> 1996 we were issued a permit to connect our property to the municipal sewer. That was <br /> done and a septic system in the front yard was abandoned. From that time on the entire <br /> waste flow from our residence has entered the municipal sewer. <br /> As we discussed earlier, the basement level in our house does have a non-functioning <br /> floor drain that is connected to a septic system that is not on our property. That drain has <br /> now been filled with cement. In the basement there is also a sump pump that routes any <br /> water generated from the use of a humidifier, water softener and air conditioner to the <br /> ground surface. As discussed with you, this would be acceptable. <br /> �. <br /> The issue left to resolve is to determine who should be responsible for the septic system <br /> attached to our basement drain that is on our neighbor's property. We have made some <br /> inquiries about this. We have been advised that legally we have no right or duty to <br /> trespass on our neighbor's property to take steps to abandon this septic system. We have <br /> also talked with a contractor who has told us he will not do an abandonment of that <br /> system at our request because we do not own the land it is located on. No one has lived <br /> in the neighboring house since August of 1997. We have tried to contact the owner of the <br /> property to discuss the issue but have not been able to locate that person. Hennepin <br /> County records indicate the fee owner is Lisa Kannenberg and also show a Lawrence <br /> Gross, Trustee. The county told us that mail delivered to the last taxpayer address (the <br /> property)has been returned. <br /> We can think of no further action to take at this point. Please advise us as to what you <br /> would suggest we do. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> �� �� �. �-�. <br /> � <br /> Thomas P. Lutz and Mary Lou Lutz <br />
