Residents of John St. - Mr. Ken Bassler, 303 John St. spoke for himself and three residents; Mr. Lamb, Mr. Magnuson and Mr. Nelson (Rolling Meadows). Mr. Bassler stated that on 9/17/83 they received notices that they were in violation of city code by having a private septic system where a sanitary sewer was available. He cited Indiana State Code Ordinance 36-4-3-8 as a factor in asking for a reduction to 1977 sewer rates. Dealings with this Board with T. Wilson, Stonehedge Estates, establishes the precedent for the reduction to 1977 rates. Also they would like to be able to pay the connection fee over a 10 year period without interest or penalty charges and that the payments be included in with their monthly sewage bill. They would also like to postpone connection till the fall to reduce damage to their lawns on their property. c. Craig Hauss - Mr. Hauss of 22 Circle Dr. passed out copies of letters and estimates to the Board. He stated that he had written a letter and spoken to 2 Board members previously regarding this situation. He explained the summary of the costs: 04/26/84 Page 2 The Hook-up is $2,532.00 Installation of line 1,291.42 Removal of 2 trees 750.00 Trimming of 2 trees 52.73 (to save) Removal of the trees 6,700.00 (if they died) Mr. Hauss requested four things of the Board; 1) A variance until the line is installed in front of house which would mean no trees would have to be moved. 2) An extension to the 90-day notice. 3) Could the hook-up cost of $2500.00 be spread over a 10 year period and added to the monthly bill. 4) Also, could the $700 per acre charge be reduced since he owns 2.5 acres but has only one residence on the property. Mayor Reiman suggested the possibility of Mr. Hauss being able to tie in with the property immediately northwest of his when they hooked on thus eliminating the need to possibly damage the trees in Mr. Hauss' front yard. d. Resident of Audubon Dr. - Mr. Thomas 0. Cartmel spoke in behalf of himself, Mr. Frederick Lewis and Mr. Walker D. Cheeks all of whom were present. All residences were in existence at the time the line was put through in 1969/1970. He stated that he was told that it was not feasible to connect because of the way the house sits on the lot unless a lift station was built which would have been very expensive. Mr. Cartmel cited Ordinance 5.12, sewer connection required as a possible reason that their property did not hook onto at that time. Mr. Lewis, a resident since 1967, stated the house was 22 years old. Mrs. Lewis stated that the previous owners, Sally and David Reeves, told them that the City told them they could not hook on because it would mean a lift station would have to be built and it would be too expensive. They have not had problem with sewage. Mayor Reiman requested they ask the Reeves to direct a letter to her office stating why they did not connect on to the line at the time it was put through. e. Mike Tamer - Mr. Tamer of 431 S. Guilford stated he is buying this house on contract from Mr. Rex Weiper. The property consists of 3.9 acres directly north of a church. He had submitted a letter of explanation to Mr. Weiper who in turn submitted a letter to the Board dated March 23, 1984. f. Paul Estridge - The Board was in receipt of a letter from Mr. Estridge of 1411 E. 116th dated March 14, 1984. In reference to sewer connection notice sent to his brother, Donald Estridge. (see attached) Mr. Estridge requested a waiver to hook-up until such 04/26/84 Page 3 time as we use the property as it is currently zoned. Nine buildings on approximately 10 acres are all temporary structures. To hook-up at this time would be very wasteful since they would have to be torn out in a year or two. The building at 1412 is already hooked up to the sewer line. Availability Digital Equipment Corp, 4000 E. 96th St.(Marbaugh Bldg.) - Mr. Walker made a motion for the approval of 4.31 EDUs as per Sewer Ord. S-41, not to exceed a daily flow of 1,293 gallons.
