Van Eeckhout request for connection to Long Lake
municipal waterf 650 North Brown Road
Attached is a copy of the request by Van Eeckhout Building
Corporation for City of Orono approval to connect the home under
construction at 650 North Brown Road to the Long Lake municipal
water system. As you are aware» Long Lake has approved this and
would be billing the property owners directly.
This property is in Orono’s Rural Zone, and the Rural Land
Use Policies of the Orono Community Management Plan generally
state that rural development will occur without the extention of
municipal utilities. In this caser there is an existing Long
Lake watermain adjacent to the property, hence no "extention* of
municipal utilities is required.
The applicant has not demonstrated a hardship and
development of a well on the~property is certainly feasible. The
only "hardship" is financial.
There are likely other properties in Orono and adjacent to
the Long Lake water system that could make the same request.
Staff has not identified such properties, but we presume that in
virtually all cases, a well could be placed on the property
without any problems.
If the Council wishes to keep the same consistent policy as
with sewer connections, ^-hen a hardship must be demonstrated,
i.e. show that a well can't be developed on the property. On the
other hand, I can find nothing in the Code or the Comprehensive
Plan which specifically disallows connection of adjacent
properties to existing water utilities as long as no extention of
the utilities is required. Water utility connection/- are not
under the umbrella of MWCC control, and hence no Comprehensive
Plan amendment is required by the City to allow a hookup such as
is requested.
