Brian Fulmer The Doghouse Boarding Kennels 3505 W. Wayzata Boulevard Long Lake, Minnesota 55356 Ladies and Gentlemen: The matter of the Fulmers being allowed to hook up to the Maple Plain sewer interceptor has been before you for the better part of this year. As you will recall, the Orono city council acted to permit the Fulmers to hook up to the interceptor in April 1986 . Unfortunately the hook up has been administratively frustrated because the MWCC has more or less adopted a "work to rule" procedure with regard to Orono matters. What that means is that the MWCC is taking the position that with regard to Orono and whether it' s residential or rural developed or undeveloped, MWCC will not allow sewer hook-up without a comprehensive plan amendment. We understand this work to rule penalty has been imposed against Orono because of Orono' s past opposition to certain MWCC plans. While inter-governmental fights are always unfortunate, in this particular case innocent side parties are adversely affected. The Fulmers understood in April 1986 that they had passed the last hurdle in the sewer hook-up matter. In the fall of 1985 when they commenced the procedure they were aware that this matter with Orono was very delicate and the matter with the MWCC was very delicate. At that time they were advised to cooperate with the MWCC and grant the MWCC certain easements for the Maple Plain sewer interceptor. In addition to that easement the Fulmers ' property both along Highway 12 and along Stubbs Bay Road are subject to significant utilities easements in which are placed the Maple Plain sewer interceptor pipes. As you may recall, those utility easements in total took up one of the most promising places on the Fulmers ' land for their drain field, namely the area west of the house
