Staff has received a request for a sewer variance from Steve Smith and Eve Garlyn for two parcels located on Beverly Avenue, west of 5th Street (305-18-560H and 305-18-560G). Section 4.2(G) of the Utility Regulations requires the property to connect to the public sewer system when sewer is available. The regulations define available as a public sewer that is located within five hundred (500) feet of a property line of the lot or parcel being developed.  Additionally, the sewer main is required to be extended across the total frontage of the property to be served. There is an existing 8” public sewer main approximately 390 feet away at the intersection of Beverly and 5th that can be extended to serve these parcels.  All of the adjacent parcels on Beverly are on septic systems. City utility regulations would require connection of these parcels to the City sewer if/when those septic systems fail. The applicant could request a payback agreement with the City and receive a pro-rated reimbursement from the adjacent owners if they connect a service line to the sewer main. The payback agreement has a duration of 20 years. Staff recommends that the sewer extension be made in accordance with the Utility Regulations to the extent where it is feasible to serve the lots by gravity. Staff recommends denial.

Reconsideration of a change to Section 4.2(G) of the Utility Regulations that would reduce the connection threshold from 500 feet to 300 feet. Commission Discretion.

Limited to announcements, board and commission liaison reports, availability/attendance at conferences and seminars.
