an attic area that has been developed into additional space. There appear to be almost no windows in the basement area. Therefore, it is apparent that the primary living space is on the main and second floors, which are available for sewer service. The Eugene Cade does not guarantee that basement facilities will be serviced by gravity. whether Mr. Mueller has been able previously to service the basement toilet by a septic system, is unknown to the Hearings Official.

This is a very large parcel, essentially in the northeast corner of the intersection of Maxwell Road and the Northwest Expressway. A letter from the minister of this church, Pastor Gaskin, accompanied by other information, was received by the Hearings official, following the conclusive of the public hearing, Those materials are attached to the Minutes. It is the church's position that the church property no longer has frontage along old Maxwell Road since some of that property was deeded to Lane County to allow for a considerable extension of the storm sewer system. A view of this property reveals that it is currently undeveloped in any way. Access is achieved through a small street off old Maxwell Road, just north of the overpass ramp which carries Maxwell Road over the Northwest Expressway. The Hearings official received a Memorandum from the City Engineer in response to Pastor Gaskin's letter. That Memorandum is attached to the Minutes as Exhibit "I". The Memorandum points out that the property acquired by Lane County was added to the right-af-way of old Maxwell Road. Under the Code provisions, property within ~b0-feet of the street right-of-way line is subject to assessment. The Memorandum also points out that while no service line was constructed to the property because of an agreement between the City and the church, there is no legal reason why the church could not use the sanitary sewer line installed in old Maxwell Road. The property is vacant, annexed to the City and could be developed. in addition, there is sewer service provided to the parcel at other locations. Because of the approximately 26 acre size of this parcel, and physical features which includes a floadway channel that bisects the property, it was prudent for the City to provide several sewer connection paints to accommodate future development. wg-
