MAYOR DEMOS: But would he be required to hook up or would the hook up come at a later time? MR. HONCHELL: The code requires a hook up within two years of when the sewer is deemed by the City to be available. Ob- viously, if we build it, we would have to say it's available. COUNCILMAN FRANKE: And it would still cost him more to hook up? MR. HONCHELL: As I view it, being able to get to a man- hole with a service - I know it sounds like a long way to this owner and there are other circumstances - but it's less than 200 feet from the structure (inaudible) by all methods we've used to make those determinations. MAYOR DEMOS: If this was built this summer, after comple- tion he would have two years. COUNCILMAN FRANKE: What additional cost would he have two years from now? MR. HONCHELL: The additional cost would be that he would have to hire a plumber of his choosing to go from the property line, which is near the fire hydrant, to his home. I don't know exactly how far that is - probably 40 feet or something like that - and going to the wall and making a connection to the sanitary sewer facility. COUNCILMAN KEHR': You said that there was two and a hal f feet from floor level to the manhole. Is that correct? MR. HONCHELL: Yes - to the bottom of the manhole. COUNCILMAN KEHR: By the time he gets the sewer to the house - he canft drop that two and a half feet. What's the required fall per foot? MR. HONCHELL: He can get a half foot fall in that short distance (inaudible). COUNCILMAN KEHR: We're looking at two feet below the ground - a minimum of two feet. MR. HONCHELL: Yes. COUNCILMAN FRANKE: If he hooks up or if we run the sewer in. to that point and defer the assessment - how big is the house? (Inaudible) that somebody might want to build something bigger on it someday if he was to sell it? What I'm wondering - if at that point somebody builds a house and they have a basement and what have you (inaudible) how much does that involve? 6
