PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Creating Sanitary Sewer ULID 140: Mr. Erin Forrest, City Engineer,
addressed Council and noted for the record that notice of the public hearing
was published and posted as required by law.
Mr. Forrest explained that a developer purchased a vacant lot along Pearl
Street in this area and wanted to obtain a building permit for a house on his
property. Since there was no public sewer immediately available, he wanted
to install a septic tank and drain field to service the property. Because of the
density of the adjacent lots, the proximity of the public sewer, and the fact
that all of the properties immediately to the south are served by a public
sewer, staff reasoned that his lot would best be served by a public sewer
system. Therefore, staff recommended that he extend the public sewer
system to serve his lot. The nearest public sewer was located about 550 feet
to the west. However, the developer decided that the cost to install the sewer
by himself was too high for him to absorb and still make a profit.

regarding when and where septic tanks can be repaired or replaced when
they fail should be included.
