City Council meeting of 9/6/88 Page 3 can create administrative and legal problems for the city in the future. The city engineer has indicated that from a technical standpoint a 6" service line to the street can accommodate the flowage from the two houses; however, he also agrees that allowing multiple connections can be a bad practice. We have advised Mr. Granger of the appeal procedure to the city council pursuant to Chapter 262-6 Subd. B of the municipal code' Mr. Granger has indicated that providing a separate connection will cost him an additional $2,000. The city has authorized him to make the necessary cuts in the street for the connection; however, Mr. Granger's concerns seem to be economic in nature' At the Council meeting, Mr. Granger questioned why the city would want to tear up the existing roadway for possible future road problems, and stated that the connection would be done according to state code with clean outs to be installed at the street. A letter from the city engineer stated that if the multiple connection is approved that a manhole be installed at the connection for clean-out purposes. Mayor Atkinson and Councilman Vail and Olson felt that multiple connection could create problems for the city some time in the future, and in general is not a good precedent' Vail made motion, Peltier seconded, to deny the request of Mr. Terry Granger for a multiple sewer connection to serve a home located at 5598 141st Street North based on potential future problems for the city, and they do not want to set this type of precedent.
