Re: Connection of Cabin to Sewer and Water
Dear Mr. Kleckner:
Thank you for your letter of March 14 , 1989. I have reviewed our
files regarding sewer and water assessments and find that your property was
assessed for two municipal water units, and was assessed front footage for
the municipal sewer lines. If the City Council ultimately was to approve
conversion of your existing cabin to a guest house use, your connection
charges for connection to City water would be merely the cost of a Fermit
and water meter (currently totaling about $150.00) in addition to whatever
you are charged by your Flumber for actually making the connection to the
City water main.
Your sewer connection costs would include a $225.00 sewer unit charge
Flus the Sewer Availability Charge assessed by the Metropolitan Waste
Control Commissicn, which currently is $�75.00 , plus whatever your
contractor charges to physicaliy make the connection. There were two sewer
stubs provided to your property (as-built map attachec�) when the sewer was
constructed.
Regarding the use of the cabin as a guest house, I ha�e enclosed a
copy of the conditional use Fermit apFlication, and the aFproFriate code
sections. I must advise you that both the lot width and lot area of your
property would agpear to bE substandard for a guest house unit, since the
City's hi�toric agF-rawa 1�- of - such uscs re�uires that the guest house
struct�lre be loc�ted on a property twice as large as that needed for a
singl� residencc�. I� effect, a secon� 1/� a�r� is normatl� required in
order to h�.ve a guest ?�cuse where the zoning district requires 1/2 acre for
the pr�.rcipal r�sidentie cn t�e- FroFerty. Sirc� your lot i.s in a 1/2 acre
zoning distr�ct and . is ju��t Y�arely 1/2 acre in actual area, variances
would be required in o�aer for. the Ccu-nci ? to grant your cc�nditional use
permit. There i� cextainly no c�uarantee that your application would be
approved, and the h.istazy. r�f- su�h re�ueGts ir. the City sug�ests that you
might he wasting your tim�. However, the past payme�t for a seccnd water
unit �n� t.he� fa.ct that the b�ailding i� alreaay there, may h�ve a positive
bearinc� on yr�ar �p�l�cation.
