r 1 X75 November 16, 1976 On a corner lot only the front footage is used for assessment purposes except for the side lot line that extends beyond 150'. This can be sold immediately and therefore benefits from the installation. He explained the people have one year from the date of installation to hook into the system. This is a State Law. Mr. Carley said some people wonder why the water and sewer cannot be put in the same trench - here again the State Law rules in these lines must be a minimum of 10 feet apart. On odd shape lots, the front and back measurements are added together and divided by two to get the average footage and the assessment is placed on that footage. This plan includes the installation of stubs. Mr. Carley also told the people the SAC for 1976 is $350.00 - for 1977 - $375.00 and will increase $25.00 per year until it reaches $600.00. This is collected in leiu of a Metro Waste Control levy on each community. Mr. Carley explained the alternate route for the sewers. This would allow for the in- stallation of the sewer lines down the rear lot lines and would only require two lines from North Road to Elm Street in place of three lines down the center of the streets and would reduce the overall costs by that amount. Mr. Carley told the people the lift station and force main would be designed to handle a larger area than just the Lakeview area and the cost would be assessed to 1320 acres at $160.00. This method would cost approximately $2,847.00 per 125.' lot. On a twenty year assessment, the yearly cost would be $256.00 per year or $21.00 per month. The people seemed to be concerned about the length of the pipe to connect with the sewer line. Mr. James Gruber of Lakeview said there is only a 5' easement across the IIIback of the lots. Mr. Joe Davis of Sunrise asked, if two houses were served by one Line with this method, would the SAC be divided in half? He was told, No, the SAC is per unit. Mr. Davis asked about the property East of Sunrise, will these lands not be considered? Mr. Car- ley said only in the matter of the acreage assessments. Mr. Davis asked the average costs per foot for the hook up lines? Mr. Carley said approximately $6.00 to $9.00 per foot. Mr. Zelinka explained by this method, with the existing systems going out the rear of the homes, it would be a simple matter to hook up and would eliminate the necessity of digg- ing up the basement floors. Mr. Steven Clare of 6949 Lakeview felt the basement floors could be dug up and restored and it would cost less the the long hook up line necessary if the sewer is installed on the rear lot lines. Mr. Ron Hale, 7024 Lakeview asked if the same pipes could be used and was told, No. Mr. Voller, 6929 Sunrise, felt that his basement would be below the sewer Fines and ask- ed if he would have to install a pump to reach the main Fines. Mr. Carley assured him the sewer lines would be well below all basements in the area. Mr. Floyd Matti, 7141 Sunset, felt the 200 or so feet of line from the main line to the house would create a problem in keeping clean and the cost would be out of line. IIIMr. Zelinka said that each two lot owners could put in a common line and share the cost, there is quite a difference in the cost of installing the 200' of line and replacing a street. Mr. Virgil Beecher, Lakeview Avenue, didn't feel the cost was that much different - he felt it should be put in the front and done the right way.
