Vitu ac, County �orney <br />DATE: October 30, 1996 (dictated 10/29/96) <br />RE: Wastewater Service for Customer on Durrance Place <br />At the last meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, the Board <br />authorized our office to coordinate with Chairman Fran Adams to determine the <br />best method of providing public wastewater service to a portion of Lot 1 in <br />the Durrance Place Subdivision. For the Board's reference, this subdivision <br />is composed of private roads with lots being serviced by wells and septic <br />tanks. The lot in question is below the minimum size required to receive a <br />state permit for a septic tank. There was opposition by certain neighbors in <br />the subdivision to allowing a public sewer down the private streets for <br />various reasons, and the staff and Chairman were asked to look at alterna- <br />tives for providing service to the property. <br />After reviewing the plat of Durrance Place, it is our belief that the <br />following options are available: <br />1. Accept the offer made in the plat (Plat Book 9, Page 6) to accept the <br />roads in the subdivision as public and subsequently construct a public <br />sewer line in the public right of way. The difficulties with this <br />approach are that the existing roadway is not located as indicated on <br />the plat, with the plat roadway being more or less in wetland areas. In <br />addition, the roadway is below the minimum standards normally accepted <br />by the County and is ,unpaved. <br />2. The second alternative recognizes that all lot owners in the subdivision <br />have a right to use the private roadway for access and utility service; <br />therefore, the County could act as the agent for the wastewater <br />applicant and construct a single -service line in the private right of <br />way to the applicant's property. The line would be sized --to service <br />only the one property. Anyone who would challenge this construction <br />would have to show better title than the County has, and it is not clear <br />from the plat who that would be. <br />3. Take no action. <br />M <br />November 5, 1996 BOOK 99 PA -UE 616 <br />
