On October 6, 1983, tax lots 1900 and 2000 were annexed into the city in order to gain access to the sewer for development. Local SDC charges have been paid on both lots. A new home was built at 84 Green Lane (tax lot 1900) in 1991. This property has been in the owners family for over 50 years. There are no plans to further develop this lot through partitioning or subdividing. 5 A new home was placed on 62 Green Lane (tax lot 2000) in 1991. There are no plans to partition this lot for an additional dwelling. Both lots are zoned R-1 and the owners were required to trench apx. 200 feet to access the existing sewer and to pay the city service connection and MWMC fees. Estimated costs for properties served by sewers in Basin 96S Even the language in the Eugene Code regarding "Sanitary sewer assessments" precludes these properties from bearing the cost of the new sewer construction. Eugene Code 7.175 Local Improvements - Apportionment of Assessments (2) (b) 5. Sanitary sewer assessments. The cost of sanitary sewer construction shall be borne in the following manner: a. The properties specially benefited by a sanitary sewer shall bear the cost of the sewer up to and including eight inches of pipe diameter. The additional cost of a sanitary sewer may be borne by the specially benefited properties, the city and others as provided in subsection (1) of this section. (Page 7-20 - 11/01/92) (2) (b) 6. Other local Improvements. The cost of local improvements not identified in subsections (b) 1 through (b) 5 of this subsection shall be borne by the property specially benefited as provided in the council resolution forming the local improvement district. (Page 7-24 - 11/01/92) These properties will not be specially benefited because there is llQ. benefit to them to have a sewer line also adjacent to their northern boundaries.
