DIann Goetten and Mary Butler. The following represented the City staff: City Administrator Ron Moorse, Public Works Director John Gerhardson, Finance Director Tom Kuehn, Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Michael Gaffron, City Attorney Tom Barrett, City engineer Glenn Cook, Assistant City Engineer Harlan Olson and City Recorder Tei i Naab. Mayor Peterson called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. Mayor Peterson stated the purpose of the hearing was to receive public comments on the proposed assessment for the Stubbs Bay Sewer Project. The owners have been provided with a notice of proposed assessment and a fact sheet regarding the project need and assessment. She stated that the Counci 1 appointed citizens advisory committee In lute 1990 to meet with area residents and staff regarding the project and to provide the Council with updates of residents’ concerns. The Committee felt that the residents favored the Installation of the sewer but felt that the cost was unaffordable to many of them. She said that In November of 1991, the Council held a public hearing to listen to comments and Questions regarding the project. Counci I decided after that meeting to proceed with determining the scope of the project, and the preparation and acceptance of bids for the project. She stated the Council and staff has met many times to discuss the project and has also held three open houses to allow citizens an opportunity to express their conce’^ns. She noted after the hearing Counci I would consider adoption of the project, after which there would be a 30 day appeal period. The Affidavit of Publication was noted. Barrett announced that this hearing is part of a legal process which allows the City to decide the assessment for each property. He stated that if a property owner wishes to appeal they must first submit to the City a signed statement of objection to the assessment Including property address and property Identification number. He explained that the appellant must initiate with District Court an appeal of the assessment within 30 days of the final order of the City adopting the assessment role. MINUTES OF THE STUBBS BAY ASSESSMENT HEARING HELD BY THE ORONO COUNCIL ON HELD MAY 4, 1992 m Gaffron explained that discussions on sewer installation tor the area Initiated in 1974. The 1980 Comprehensive Plan identified five areas withlr the City to be studied for possible sewer Installation. Four of those five areas have been sewered and Stubbs Bay Is the fifth area. He noted that in 1988 an Alternative Waste Manaflement Study was done for the area, which did not include Oxford Road, Cygnet Place and Leaf Street. Since that time the project has been expanded to include those areas due to the proximity to the creek or the lake, the smal I lot sizes and the potential problem due to a lack of an alternative septic site. In 1989 the PCA updated their septic system regulations, including a redefinition of what Is a non-conforming system, which definition Includes systems that do not have a three foot vertical separation above zones of sol I motti Ing or other indicators of a seasonal V4ater table. The DNR has mandated that deles with significant lakes an 1 s t reams adopt shore I and regulations which limit new ^ny^lopment near shoreiand and mandated the adoption of the PCA s septic regulations. Gaffron reviewed that staff has analyzed a number of factors of the area and estabiished a classification system. He stated that 18 of 127 existing homes have failing or non-conforming systems and 78 homes probably do not have an alternate septic site. He noted that based on their data, nearly ail alternative sites would require a mound-type septic system. He stated that homes without an alternative site, wou'd have to Install a holding tank If their system failed. Gaffron said that municipal sewer will elImlnate existing septIc problems and provide a cost-effective alternative to holding tanks. Cook explained the project design. He stated that the project is expected to take approximately four months to complete, and if they do not encounter any problems with obtaining the required easements, the entire project could be completed by September 1992. Moorse explained that staff worked with a number of assessment experts to determine benefits to the properties which are reflected In the assessment cost. He noted that to keep the cost down, formal individual appraisals were not done in the area. He indicated that some factors that quantified benefits included: 1. Cost of sewer vs. holding tank. It was determined that over a 15 year period, a holding tank would cost two to three times the cost of the sewer assessment. 2. There are a number of properties that are expected to have a short i upgraded. in the area that have systems fe span and would need to be rt'■ ! .f ■s if.

It was determined that this Is an accepted level of assessment for the area. He explained a sheet on past assessments which Included original project costs and current connection charges for the area. Moorse explained that some le«o quantifiable factors included the number of septic problems in the area, the ability to expand the home with sewer available, and sewer vs. septic for resale. He stated the proposed assessment is based on a 15 year period at 8% interest. Property owners could prepay the assessment interest free. Mayor Peterson called for public comments. Michael Knight, representative of a number of people, which have submitted a notice of objection to the assessment, which Include the following: Stephen Whitman, David Ilse, Joseph DeMeo, Jeff DennI son and JanneII Sheriff, Albert Nelson, Loren Klitzke, Gay KeI ley, Melvin Peterson, Ernie Robins, Jeff Bartlet, Herbert Olson, Thomas Ritter, Carl Rhame, Jerry Ha!I, Brian Ahalt, Michael McLaughlin, Louise Belomy, Harlan Stockton, Pat Crane, Bill Levering, Lee Blermus, Henry Fuchner, Catherine Anderson, John McCoy, Harold Panuska, Joe Fisher, Donald Currier, Diane Ketke, Paul Vltko, Gregory Ehalt, Margaret Reusing, Hakan Andersson, Arthur Bloemendaal, Dennis Anderson, Calvin Presbyterian Church, Ron Forman, Robert Provo, Eugene Deterling, Dean Moline, James Lewis Brownlee, James St. Lawrence, and Michael Dale. He stated the main grievance his clients have is that they were not a part of the advisory committee to study the project. He proposed that Council expand the committee to represent all owners affected by the project. He suggested Council table the vote to allow representatI on of al I residents on this project In meet and discuss their concerns with the project and come forward with a workable solution. Don Gronb^ro. 65 North Willow Dr i ve . to _dlJCu.§.S-J3L!:PPSr tY.Al—115 Leaf Street, stated he would like to appeal his proposed assessment of $18,880 as he felt It is not fair. He noted he has called the PCA and Dave Gustophson of the U. of M. Extension Services to obtaIn guidelines for benefits and was told that the benefit of the project would be greater for properties that are sub-standard or that have holding tanks. 3 n Ipu. ¥ Pc i ■5v*; MINUTES OF THE STUBBS BAY ASSESSMENT HEARING HELD BY THE ORONO COUNCIL ON HELD MAY 4, 1992 mi la Paterson. 475 Oxford Baag^ stated they have recently built thair home and have no problem with their septic system and requested that they be eliminated from the project. naM«o 400 Oxford Road, asked that the Council consider p?oposa?of the group Iead~b; Knight. He stated that it would bo more efficient and cost effective for his property to ® to the trunk line along County Road 84. He noted he would like t see the project proceed, but the additional expense ^or him to connect through a line on Oxford Road has no economic benefit. Andvschult?. 3409 East Iake StreeU advised that his home is valucu at $00,000 and each house adJacuPt to him Is worth much more. e stated he has very little road frontage and felt that homes should be assessed per lateral footage. Henry Furchner. 360 Leaf_Slree.lx asked why the project will Leaf Street to 60’. He felt that Orono should remain rural and did not want them to destroy vegetation in the area. Mary Rassmuson. 3415 East lake Street^ advised their house was just appraised by FHA at $29,700, and the proposed assessment tor their lot is $8,800. She objected based on undue hardship. MarvLou Lutz. 258 Cygnet I lace, objected to the assessment. Vince Larson. 3500 Bavslde Road, stated he was very much in favor of the project. He noted that the appraisals being quoted were based on the property not having sewer. He stated that sewer will Increase both the appraised value and the salability of a home. He felt that City staff are the experts on this issue and felt it was time to proceed with the project. He commended Council and the engineering staff. Candace Rowlette. 3775 Bavslde Ro&d,, explained she was on the ftdvitory commlttss. She stated that Oxford Road, Cygnet Place and Leaf Street were not originally included in the project, but these people have known for many months that they were considered for inclusion and should have tried to become a part of the process. Pane Deterling. 240 Cygnet Place, stated that thev were informed In November 1991 that they wore a part of the project, and at that 11 me he subm i 11 ed to Counc i l a pe t i l i on show i ng 10Oii oppos 111 on of Inclusion Into the project.

He understood that he would only be reimbursed for the Installation of the station and not for future maintenance and felt that was unfair. KnIQht declared that he was not inferring that the engineering staff was Incapable. He felt the Issue could be worked out productively with the input of all residents affected. He asked what the harm would be In allowing a re'isonable time period to solicit comments from all affected property owners. Furchner noted they are proposing to take a 40’ easement along his property which would destroy his whole garden and he stated he wouId not allow it. Charlie Balgaard. 3435 East ake Street, explained that it was not the decision of the advisory committee to expand the proj*»ct. He opposed the assessment as he is currently using a holding :ank, which is working fine fo^ his small cabin. Scott Anderson. 3415 East lake Street, felt that the assessment shouid be based on taxable market of the property. Alvin Balgaard. 3560 Bavside Road, submitted an appeal to the assessment. Carl Rhame. 3245 Watertown Road, opposed the additional 30’ of rIght-of-way. Cook noted that the driven portion of the roadway of Leaf Street will not be wider than 32’, and it currently is 26’. He noted that Cygnet Place and Oxford Road will remain the same width, and Crestview, Tonka and Westlake Street may be a little wider after the project. DeMeo suggested they consider the addition of Foxbend property with this project. Mayor Peterson closed the pt'blic hearing at 8:05 p.m. Jabbour explained that the Council does not want any hard feelings to exist because of the project. ■•'FP».

Box 66 Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323-0066 I have reviewed your assessment letter and do not understand how I could be assessed the $14,990 amount indicated in the letter The proposed assessment Is arbitrary and discriminatory against my property. For example. In your March 12 letter you indicated that if the other oxfo. d road properties are excluded my property would be assessed along with the other residents who are serviced by the trunk line (a cost much lower than the Oxford road assessment). However, If the other oxford road properties require sewer hook up then my property would be assessed what the other oxford properties would be assessed; a cost substantially higher with no increased benefit to my property, it would also be more destructive to my property and require a longer trench for hook up rather than just using the main trunk line. Again, It does not make economic sense for my property to be connected to the sewer through the oxford road lateral; it is more costly without any increased benefit to my property. Finally, I wish to reiterate my position as being opposed completely to Inclusion in this project as the value of my house will not increase or increase substantially less then the assessment you are proposing. Also the cost to comply with my exisring septic system is significantly less then the cost of the proposed assessment. Please reconsider your position on the issues raised above and advise me. m wntmg as soon as possible. Again, I should be allowed to hook up to the sewer system tn the most cost effective manner available r* 4 Y cr-.j 1, ' “> r~ j ' L,'^ LL-.

The conclusion reached was that the project costs do generally reflect the level of benefit provided by the project. The level of benefit is related to the increased value provided to the property. The increased value is related to a number of items. A. Eliminates the need for holding tanks. Currently 17 properties would be forced cnto holding tanks in the absence of a sewer project. 78 of the 127 existing residences would be forced onto holding tanks at the time their current septic system failed. B. Eliminates the need for future septic system replacement. f: - - A:. ;v:«^ m’" C. In addition to the increased value related to A i Br the saleability of a home is significantly improved with sewer versus a septic system. D. Eliminates unplanned septic problems. E. Eliminates septic capacity as a restriction on the expansion of the number of bedrooms. Although the project costs generally reflect the benefit to the properties the proposed assessment amounts reflect a 30% cost participation by the City. The City Council has made this decision for several reasons. 1. m. .^•*4 The State Statute governing special assessments can make it difficult to demonstrate the relationship between cost and benefits. 2.The Ci'y as a whole does gain significant environmental benefits from the replacement of septic systems with sewer. 3. ? i '. y F : VA The City Council chose to use City funds to reduce the assessments to a more acceptable level rather than using those same funds to pay the legal and appraisal fees involved in responding to assessment appeals. y.i'0 W'-' —- ■ C>i-- , »■ "Mt r:v-' “N:: f Mlll- ^■msS;:-/.m .t ^v-f II :SPv; :■:£!'iXM' AppraisalsIII order to hold down project costs, the City did not have formal appraisals done for the project properties. Because of the wide diversity of properties in terms of size, value and condition of septic systems, property appraisals could have added over $100,000 to the cost of the project. Again, the City chose to participate in the funding of the project rather than adding unnecessary costs to the project. PROJECT ASSBSSMEN’/S Comparison with Past Assessment Amounts The attached chart shows the assessment amounts for sewer projects undert«'3;en since 1980. The average assessment amount was $10,516. Because these projects were completed at least seven years ago, a more meaningful comparison involves the current connection charges for those projects. The connection charges are the initial assessment amounts inflated to today's dollars based on annual increases in the Consumer Price Index. The average connection charge is $15,000. All proposed Stubbs Bay project assessments are below $15,000, most are substantially below $15,000. Assessments By Area Versus Total Project Assessments The proposed assessments reflect a decision to assess the trunk coat differently than the lateral cost. The cost of the trunk, ifbich serves all properties, is being shared equally among all properties. The cost of the laterals, which serve specific properties, is being assessed to those properties specifically served by the laterals. This has resulted in different assessment amounts for different project areas. This is the most fair and equitable method of assessment because none of the Individual areas is subsidizing any of the other areas. !•« . '» *' ‘TOs Frcmt Mayor Peterson and Orono City Council Ron Mooi.se, City Administrator Michael P. Gaffron, Asst. Planning & Zoning Administrator Oates May 1, 1992 Subject: Stubbs Bay Sewer - Vacant Lot Prior Buildability Analysis S:* 5'-. k ■ '■% ■ />• feli’ .-.r • IS^/ fejS'"" I?L0'¥> Eleven vacant lots are proposed to be assessed a sewer unit in Stubbs Bay. Cf these, five exceed 2 acres in area and would be assessed the reduced amount. The six which are less than 2 acres and proposed to be assessed at a 100% rate, are listed on the attached sheet with the anticipated variances required under current code. To summarize the table: 1. 2. 6. The Gage lot has steep slopes and likely would not have drainfield sites, therefore is probably not buildable without sewer. The Sterner lot on Tonka Avenue might be buildable if a second drainfield site could be located, however a low wet area on the site makes this questionable. The Talbert/Addison combination of four lots on Tonka Avenue has at best one drainfield site, and therefore would not be buildable without sewer. The double lot at 3G0 Tonka Avenue has no sites available for a conforming septic system, and if there was, this would leave no reasonable location for the house. Gronberg's lot on Leaf Street was probably buildable prior to the Shoreland Regulations, since a house meeting the front, side, and wetland setbacks could have constructed without encroaching on the two mound sites. However, the Shoreland Regulations reduced the buildable envelope to almost nothing without sewer. The Ehalt lot on Cygnet might have two good drainfield sites near the front of the lot and more or less parallel to the road. However, the Shoreland Regulations would make it hard to place a house on the property without a shoreline setback variance, because the drainfield sites would generally be on top of the building envelope. As in Gronberg's case, the new setback requirements with the Shoreland Regulations severally limited the pc*-ential of building on this site without sewer. “ ■ PsA!' ■« fc ‘, ?: ■ »•Wife:?: rWW^v ^ is V .;v^:-^«1 : .r, V . ■ ■■ • ■! •. f-#- ■-"aft- I - sm tilfe"- li: - ? w:- ■ r. s ■ '-_ 'ife, lifeJ-- W'--' iir i-ft?;;:' ; JWW ,- "v -fe?’ ^ferf-v. -:WW>V - -ft,;- Hit: ■ rfe ■ .

(*• Although the property owner of 3425 Eastlake Street has been notified of a one unit sewer assessment at $8,840.00, it has come to staff's attention that the existing structure on that property has neither sanitation facilities nor a foundation, and is merely a 12'x22' (264 s.f.) summer cabin. In the Stubbs Bay area, sewer units were assigned to all developed properties in single separate ownership, without regard to the lot site or nature of existing structures. However, it could be argued that this small cabin is nothing more than an accessory building without a principal structure, and because of its lack of sanitation facilities, has never been an established dwelling unit. The question then becomes, does the City wish to assign a sewer unit, which eventually forces the issue of naving to approve variances to allow something substantial to be constructed on the property. The lot is 50'xl02', or 0.12 acre in a 2 acre zone. .Mso: 1.The lot is entirely within a sheet flow flood plain area requiring special considerations for construction. 2.It would be virtually impossible to construct a building on the property without variances to front, rear, left and right side, and lakeshore setback variances. (The 929.4 elevation contour extends up the creek from Stubbs Bay to abut this property.) 3.It can be argued that the non-conforming use section of the Flood Plain and Wetlands ordinance applies. Section 10.55, Subd. 26 (B) states "B. No structural alteration or addition to any non-conforming structure over the life of the structure shall exceed 50% of its value at the time of its becoming a non-conforming use, unless the structure is permanently changed to a conforming use or unless the alteration or addition would substantially reduce potential flood damages for the entire structure." That ordinance was adopted 1-11-79. The assessor's valuation at that time indicated a structure value of $72*?. 00. r> •r'/l.VV-:.Memo April 30r Page 2 1992 m / Staff Is aware that this property and the property to the immediate east are both in the process of being sold. Staff has continued to advise any inquirers that any expansion of properties on East lake Street will require the approval of many variances, and is not a sure thing by any means. The recent offer of a sewer unit for this property may have given the current owner the impression that the City will grant variances. m Council may wish to consider dropping the sewer unit on this property based on one or more of the above factors. It could be argued that if you assign a unit to this property, then you should also assign a unit to the 70*xl25' Addison lot on the west side of Tonka Avenue, which is also in single separate ownership and in many respects much more buildable than 3425 Eastlake Street. iir; -Tv - ■■Hz;-' SiK 1 m ^r' ■r ,ii ', K-;: >firrm\ :v-^ i 1 'i J H :> v: fcV :>■ ■- *h' "i * X- i\ ... _v !1.-*' i* •• ♦ ’ i ,;'f' • >■iV; '■ '1k'. ^ V-^1 \ t* I I -V In(I .. - i*:: • I'iC' ifn I ii ■; ■' ■‘^ '* I4i 'v» .'^•1 m { m «. f. .& S 10.55Subd. 26.

Reference: Assessment for public mains sewage - Stubbs Bay. The intent of this letter is to officially contest the proposed assessment against the above property. Also to protest the method of assessment as being unfair to the community at large because of the unreasonable costs involved. Your method for calculating individual costs, make no allowance for properties which have conforming systems, and an alternate replacement sight in case of failure. As an example, the eighteen (18) failing sights you quote in the document "defining the needs" and the majority of the properties indicated, as not "appearing to have an alternate replacement sight", are by and large, situated within three (3) locations, these being: Stubbs Bay N.E. Stubbs Bay N.W. Bayside East. These locations, equate to eighty three (83) properties, or roughly sixty one (61%) percent of the overall grand total (137) of homes impacteti. A unit cost of $8,8^.00 per household is quoted as the individual contribution for these three locations. However, the sum dollar total contribution is $733,720.00, which only represents roughly half (» 50%) of the grand total required for the complete proj^. Such an assessment policy is unjust, and unfair to property owners such as myself, who have conforming systems, and also a replacement sight, but are asked to pay $4000.00 more, or a sum roughly equal to thirteen thousand dollars (- $13,000). k H. A 'f v>i' wm ;j,_ P, >-r;^ ' f .1 |: !•' .-■■K *fZ'b-m.m cl* ■ .'•Vf-.. Vi ft r^ SS|: Wi|ft/^ SK’ i^- 'il': It is important to remember, the City of Orono have been aware of the impending problem with these three quoted locations, for sometime. Had you confronted this situation in the beginning, the remainder of Stubbs Bay would not be forced to paying for this mistake now. A major consideration with such a project, should be the ability of all the impacted households to pay any proposed assessment. The cavalier approach taken by the Orono City council, is a further e.xample, of how far out of touch you seem to be, with the general economic well being within the country as a whole, and not least of all the Stubbs Bay community. Consider, the estimated median taxable property value in Stuobs Bay, is less than one hundred thousand dollars (< $100,000). Which means, it is not a wealthy community, and the average household does not have such availabil’ty h funds, or the ability to raise such monies, as the Orono City coi»»'^i prop'ise to assess. People simply do not have the ability to pay these amounts. Why is this so difficult to understand in light of the economic environment? Although I make no pretense to speak for the community as a whole, before we all land up knee deep in legal proceedings, which seems likely unless we come to a fair and equitable solution, I would like to propose the following plan as being fair, equitable and more in keeping with the communities financial standing. Proposed Alternate Assessment Plan, 1. A base trunk cost per household unit of ------------------$2,000. (payable, in installments by 12/31/92). 2. A lateral cost per household unit of .......-..........-.........$2 000. (payable, in installments by 12/31/93). 3. A special assessment for failing systems ot --------------$1,000. (payable, in installments by 12/31/93). 4. A special assessment for no alternate sight —........... $1,000 (payable, in installments by 12/31/93). 5. A special increase in property tax per household unit = 10% (payable from 1/1/93). This plan has been distributed to the general population of Stubbs Bay, prior to your public meeting. Therefore, please include this on the official agenda for discussion. Under this plan, the households (137) in tl e Stubbs Bay community would contribute, by 12/31/93, a sum roughly equal to seven w*: • f'Mr:, ®SR. Ih - -I --nv-y-x ' >y'^- ' ^ ;* hundred and fourteen thousand (» $714,000) dollars, or roughly forty nine percent (» 49%) of the projects costs. This sum however, does include the $100,000 which Orono City council sighted as an "extra protection contingency ”. With this sum subtracted, ($100,000), the community would contribute roughly fifty two percent (“ 52%) to the project. Now be aware of conjecture, dependant on the amount of the "original contingency" added to the "actual construction cost" (which Orono City council do not supply), but is likely to be at least an additional seven to eight percent (7-8%) or roughly a further one hundred thoi\sand (= $100,000) dollars. The cash contribution by the community, could be roughly equal to fifty six percent (- 56%). In respect to an increase in property taxation. If this is applied as a percent of the taxable value for each unit, the result would normalize the individual house size/price difference, proportionately. It would be up to the Orono City council to project the time span of this special increase, although my rough calculations indicate between 10-15 years. no Ultimately, there will be some form of compromise by all parties involved, a function of the economic realities, and personally I trust we can find this common ground. The communication which you sent each household however, is intimidating to say the least, as you seem to infer, we have r other option but to do your bidding. Nevertheless, you should be aware, although the majority of us can not afford to have individual legal representation at this point in time, we could collectively in the future if this proves necessary, which I sincerely hope will not be the case.
