ROD BURWELL 941 ROSELAWN: We are very much against it as we have just finished paying the assessment on the sewer in front of our house. However, in looking at the plot, the big plot is now a business, Mr. (inaudible) 's truck farm, this is what he lives off of and its a long way down the road before there will be any building there. The main people that would benefit by this are the two lots on the far side. They are the two people who want it. One of those parties turned the sewer down when it was put through originally because they had to put in a lift pump. That property could be divided and they could sell lots, they could make a lot of money, and I think they should have sewer, but I don't believe the rest of us should be penalized just to bring the sewer to benefit them. There are other parcels in the green area that don't have sewer and they are not having any problems with their septics. And from what I've heard hooking up now instead of five or six years from now would put a financial burden on them. It would be a terrific burden on Mr. Zittle, if he had to pay for 600 feet at $30 a foot, or $23 a foot and therefore we are very much against it. Also with Mr. Pederson changing his feelings, we believe it should be tabled for further discussion. MR. ZITTLE: I am concerned about the accumulating interest, and not having to pay until its hooked up, I don't think that's the issue. The issue now is that if your running the sewer now to satisfy two people and at a great expense to the city, and the City is going to have to pay until such time as it is hooked up in this area. Therefore I believe it should be tabled for two or three months until a little more study can be done on it. We know that people from your office have talked to certain parties about building houses and so forth. It might be good for Roseville but not necessarily for us. Thank you. DEMOS: Mr. Burwell, as I understand it, you are already con- nected and would not have to pay again unless the land was divided? HONCHELL: His parcel in particular is already connected, so he would not have to pay. He will not have to connect to the new sewer or make any payments. DEMOS: As far as Mr. Zittle's 600 feet? HONCHELL: The same situation. He is already connected. ZITTLE: (inaudible) DEMOS: That is not correct, Mr. Honchell said that was a negotiable item. ZITTLE: Well, when we got the form from the Engineers, it said 10%, it said the interest is 10% from the time it's put it in. DEMOS: In the case of Senior Citizen deferments this is true but in this case its a negotiable item.
