(Austad et al Continued from Page 1) In December the property owners submitted a proposed plan for the alternative drain field site and conveyance system to the staff for review. That review resulted in staff concerns with tree loss and resulting visual impact of the alternative drain field site, and concerns by the City Engineer with some of the mechanical features of the conveyance/treatment system proposed. On January 10, 2006 the Council Committee of the Whole considered both the property owners' plan and the staff's concerns with that plan. The petitioning property owners and a least one other property owner that would be adjacent to the new drain field attended the meeting and addressed the Committee. The petitioning property owners presented a letter of endorsement for the project from the other three property owners that reside adjacent to where the new drain field would be located. The petitioning property owners agreed to incorporate modifications to their project design as follows: 1. New tree plantings along the north/cast periphery of the new drain field that would provide immediate and effective year-round screening — as recommended by the City Forester as to count, species and as -planted sizing. 2. Such design modifications to the conveyance system and drain field as the City Engineer recommends to insure proper system functioning and City maintenance in the future. The property owners will pay for all system components and construction and City construction inspection. The City will become the owner of and be responsible for the portions of the system in Public right-of-way and on City property in the same manner as the 201 systems. The property owners will pay the City the periodic wastewater fee as now paid by 201 system property owners.
