Letter dated September 18, 1988. PROCEEDINGS: Mr. Schumacher stated that he would like time to connect to the stormsewer in the future. He became the owner in 1986. He applied to the city for a variance and the variance was denied. Mr. Schumacher introduced a letter which is the original permit creating the sewer line catch basin in the parking lot next to the building. Mr. Schumacher stated that he purchased the building in December 1986. Planning at that time was going on to provide for the disposal of stormsewer and surface water in that area. The Engineers, Toltz, King, Duvall , Anderson, directed a letter to this property on January 23, 1987. The letter was directed to the previous owner. In that letter they attempted to advise the previous owners, that if they wanted to save money and provide for a good way of disposing of their surface water and conform with the rainleader disconnect ordinance, that they could purchase or provide a payment of $1200.00 and get the stormsewer extended up York Ave. , so that the lines that were in place already, could be connected to the stormsewer, that could be perfect solution. The City should have known that I was the property owner. The long and short of all this is that the stub was never put in on York Ave. , to service the other apartment buildings.

The city will allow t e appellant to connect with the catch-basin. The distance iFr m the apartment building to the catch basin could be at leas 100 feet.

Schumacher and Mr. Herbert are taiking about connecting, �o h the rainleaders for the building and the drain for the parkin lot to the storm sewer. This would take care of the drainage Pr blem for both the building and the parking lot, it's just a qlue tion of expense in doing so. Steve Herbert, stated that' t ere are several opt�ons; one-just connect the catch-basin to t e storm sewer, drain the buiiding into the parking lot, which n turn would go to the storm sewer. Another options would be tp onnect up the storm line, then pick up the catch-basin. I Phil Ethier, stated that t e e would be charge for water treatment, and what will t�e cost be?

Schumacher . SUBJECT: Appellant is requesting an extension of time on the requirement of having to disconnect the rainleaders until such a time that a storm sewer is made available to the property. Letter dated September 18, 1988. PROCEEDINGS: Mr. Schumacher stated that he would like time to connect to the stormsewer in the future. He became the owner in 1986. He applied to the city for a variance and the variance was denied. Mr. Schumacher introduced a letter which is the original permit creating the sewer line catch basin in the parking lot next to the building. Mr. Schumacher stated that he purchased the building in December 1986. Planning at that time was going on to provide for the disposal of stormsewer and surface water in that area. The Engineers, Toltz, King, Duvall , Anderson, directed a letter to this property on January 23, 1987. The letter was directed to the previous owner. In that letter they attempted to advise the previous owners, that if they wanted to save money and provide for a good way of disposing of their surface water and conform with the rainleader disconnect ordinance, that they could purchase or provide a payment of $1200.00 and get the stormsewer extended up York Ave. , so that the lines that were in place already, could be connected to the stormsewer, that could be perfect solution. The City should have known that I was the property owner. The long and short of all this is that the stub was never put in on York Ave. , to service the other apartment buildings. A letter dated September 19, 1988, wherein, it indicates, in denying the variance, that upon investigation of the situation, it indicates that there is no storm sewer service available to the subject property, only a connect to. Other alternatives were discussed. The appetlant feels that he should not have to construct any extension of the sewer system to service the building, because the city failed to notify me. Steve Herbert, Public Works-Rainleader Division stated that all storm sewers in the area have been completed. City will allow him to connect to the one nearest to his property, which is about 100 feet. � - , � . . . �%�c�-�y37 � zsssosi � s Steve Herbert, stated that the i ter dated January 23, 1987, which the appellant referred was in error, on the quote of $1200.00. This letter was writt n by a City Hired Engineer. The letter did not originate fro the city. The section that is being referred to was ne er approved by the city to �be built. The city will allow the a pellant to connect with the catch-basin. The distance from t e apartment building to the catch basin coutd be at least 10 feet. Chairman Glassman, asked what t cost to the appellant would be? Steve Herbert, stated that the ost could be about 50 to 60 dollars a foot. Philip Ethier, stated that Mri, chumacher and Mr. Herbert are talking about connecting, bo�h he rainleaders for the building and the drain for the parkin� 1 t to the storm sewer. This would take care of the drainage prqbl m for both the building and the parking lot, it's just a questi n of expense in doing so. Steve Herbert, stated that the e are several options; one-just connect the catch-basin to the storm sewer, drain the building into the parking lot, which in turn would go to the storm sewer. Another options would be to ico nect up the storm line, then pick up the catch-basin. Phil Ethier, stated that there would be charge for water treatment, and what will th� c st be? Steve Herbert, stated that th charges would be the amount of money the appellant would hev to pay to offset the cost that the city would pay, as a city, to treat the rainwater, this would be at a cost of $45. 00 per th usand square feet per year. BOARD ACTION: Motion made t�y obert Viering to deny the request for a variance on the rain�'ea er disconnect, instead grant an extension of time for 24 mont s (July 1 , 1991 ) to bring the rainleaders into complianc�.

She also realizes that the ssue here is bathrooms, but that is what determines the number f persons that are allowed to live in the house.

The Sorority which is ,just around the co ner has had nine police calls. Toilet paper on neighbors t ees, garbage on the lawns, parties late at nite. Basically,'� o r office is getting numerous calls regarding the noise and the number of people.

For this reason we request that the variance be denied. If the board choices to gra t the variance, then Councilmember Sonnen would like to reques some conditions.
