He 224 indicated they have a sanitary sewer and manhole stubbed into the property for future connection. 225 226 Councilmember Carlson asked if someone has a working sanitary sewer, and does not wish to hook 227 up at this time, what the benefits are to them on this project. 228 229 Community Development Director Grochala stated they went through the 429 process and the project 230 was turned down by the property owners. He indicated the City decided to go ahead with the project 231 anyway, so if property owners do not hook up, they will not pay an assessment at this time. He noted 232 that at the time of hook up, the homeowner would pay the assessment, with the option to spread 233 payments over 15 years just as is an option now. 234 235 Councilmember Stoltz moved to adopt Resolution No. 04-31 approving an amendment to the 236 Comprehensive Plan. Councilmember Carlson seconded the motion. 410237 5
