� A RESOLUTION AMENDING CITY POLICY REGARDING
INCLUSION OF PROPERTIES IN A SAI�TITARY SEWER PROJECT �
WHEREAS, the city has had a policy requiring inclusion of properties in sanitary sewer
projects with the exception of a property on the fringe of the project area if the property has a
minimum of 2 acres, a septic system meeting all code requirements, and an alternate septic site, and
WHEREAS,the city has found that the timing of a sewer project is not always in sync with
the timing of the need for septic system replacements, so that project areas tend to include a small
number of properties with recently upgraded septic systems, arid
WHEREAS,those properties with recently upgraded septic systems may determine it is in
their interest to opt out of the project to avoid paying a sewer assessment in addition to the recent
• cost of upgrading their septic system, and
WHEREAS,it is reasonable to allow properties with recently upgraded septic systems that
meet all current code requirements to opt out of a sewer project, and
WI�REAS,it is not in the best interests of the city that a small number of properties with
recently upgraded septic systems prevent a sewer project, that would benefit a large number of
properties, from moving ahead, and
WHEREAS,if a properry that opted out of a sewer project desires to connect to the sewer
project in the future,the property should pay the full per unit project cost as a connection charge.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Orono City Council does hereby
amend the city policy regarding the inclusion of properties in sanitary sewer projects to enable a
property within a sewer project area to opt out of the project if the properry has a septic system that
meets all current code requirements.
. � BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,that if the owner of the opt out property decides at any .
time in the fuhue to connect to the sewer system,the property will pay a connection charge equal
to the full per unit cost of the initial sewer project increased by a cost of living factor on an annual
basis.
