A� I won't be in town ta personally give my views
I wish the following to be re�d �t the Council Chambers
on August 12, 1970 (rezson) : sa.r.itary sewer on Mystic St.
I am plezsed tha.t the sa.nitary s�wer on Mystic Street
is in but not with the method used by the z{yessor to fin-
�.nce it.
I own z f'ull 50 foot lot (#43) plus z 18 foot lot(�}!�2)
that is 70.2 feet in the rear. The total a�iessa.ble front�ge
zccorc�.i.ng to thetriangle lot method is 78.8 feet. My build-
ing permit shows my house on lot 43 and off street parking
on l�t 1�2. I have only one 4 inch SCWrr connection.
Lot �I�7 i� 50 feet in front znd 8feet in the rezr.
Their a�ssable fronta.ge (using the tri�ngl� r!m�th�ril is
only 39 f�et. They cu:. !^_��*c only on� 4 inch sewer connec-
tion.
I believe this formul� unfur because:
1) I need only one !��' sa.nitary sewer connection ever. with
68foot fronta.ge. ��
� - ��_ r�:.._
2) Using triangle lot formula'my 18 foot lot becomes 2�.8
feet and a 50 foot lot becomes 39 f�et. I'm pa,ying
almost as much for � lot (used for parking cars) with-
,
o�t a sewer connection as one with a house and �
. * �
� sewer connection. My 78.8 (or $774 a�ssment) is
more than twice of a lot (47) with 39 feet (or �3�3 a�es-
�nent) but each h�ve only one sewer connection.
I rczlize that it is difficult to arrive at a'�fair"
method for a�essing but �rhy not take into zccount the lots
that are suitable for only one sewer connection. After
all, this is a sanitzry sewer a.nd not a. stoxm sewer which
is based on the squar� foot�ge of land.
Thank you,
Allan G. Poucher
