As you are aware, the Ruffled Feathers Annexation Agreement, approved in 1989, specifically allows the owner of Lot 1 to install and maintain a private well for potable water supply (see attachment 1). The same agreement, specifically Article VI, Section F, allowed the developer the option of a shared septic field for the golf maintenance facility and Lot 1, subject to Village Engineer approval. The golf maintenance building, as you know, was subsequently built to the east with a connection to public sewer. The agreement did not exempt Lot 1, standing alone, from connection to the public sanitary system. The Zoning Ordinance, Section V -J -1 (Sewerage and Water System), requires connection to public or other community sewer, unless a `Utility Extension Hardship" is granted by the Village Board (Section V -J -2; see attachment 2). If you desire connection to Village water supply, it is your responsibility to prepare construction plans to show how the connection will be made. You should consult with Steve Mav, Village Engineer, to see if the connection is feasible. Since the Annexation Agreement specifically exempts this lot from a public water supply connection, I have to conclude that the lot was designed for a private well. You would be responsible for any costs and fees associated with this work. You would also have to obtain Village Board approval to tie into a water main without extending it across your property. If you seek to avoid connection to public sanitary sewer, you should request a `Utility Extension Hardship" under Section V -J -2. Make the request to me, in writing., and state the reasons why you believe there is a hardship (for example, sanitary sewer is not available or is beyond a reasonable distance). Provide details of the private system you wish to install. Staff will review your request and take it to the Village Board for review at a Committee -of -the -Whole meeting, then act on the request at a regular meeting. If you send the materials to the Community Development Department no later than Friday, May 5, 2000, we will schedule this item for discussion on May 15, 2000 (meeting starts at 7:00 pm). Staff will make a recommendation at the meeting. Hardships may be recommended if the owner agrees to connect to sanitary sewer within one year after it is made available to the lot. We will take into account the Annexation Agreement Mr. Bill Soraghan April 12. 2000 Page 2 Article VI, Section F as described above. Of course, use of a private, on -site sewage disposal system is subject to Village Engineer review and compliance with applicable health regulations. Finally, you should be aware that Lot 1 is included in a sanitary sewer recapture area that was established by Ordinance No.0 -62 -98 (see attachment 3) and requires a recapture fee of $7,450.59, plus eight percent annual interest. The Village of Lemont's standard charge for connection of a single - family dwelling to sewer is $1,800, bringing your total connection charge to $9,250.59 plus the applicable interest. The high recapture fee represents the extraordinary costs of the public sewer installed for the Oak Tree and Steeples developments, spread over the properties that will benefit from the sewer extension. The Village Board may have to address this issue. In conclusion, it is unfortunate that construction of a house on this lot cannot proceed straightforwardly, but the annexation agreement and recapture ordinance are recorded instruments binding on the property, and the Zoning Ordinance requirements are clear. Please call me at 630/257 -1595 if you have any questions.
