G.3 Approve Extension Requests for Connection to City Sanitary Sewer —129th Street Improvement Proiect In 2007, a street project was done with improvements to 129t' Street, Elmcrest Avenue, and Ethan Avenue that included installation of municipal sewer and water. According to ordinance, property owners have one year to connect to the system or request an extension. Council approved three-year extensions in 2007, 2010, 2013 and again in 2016 on six properties, which will be expiring at the end of this year. Four of these properties have individual sewage treatment systems that are in compliance with Washington County's septic requirements, one property is a seasonal business with a holding tank that is pumped annually, and one is an unoccupied residence. Staff is recommending approval of extensions for five of the properties with the condition they remain compliant with Washington County's septic requirements, and recommends the unoccupied property be required to connect to the municipal system prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Staff recommend Council approve the three-year extensions for connection to City Sanitary Sewer until December 31, 2022, subject to the conditions as stated.
