February 5 , 19 9 l To : City o f Eugene From: Steve and Roberta Thompson 4 6 81 Fuller dive . Eugene, aR 97442 Re: River Road Sewer Project Property - 15 3 Elkay Dr. ~~ We would 1~ike to get the .facts down on paper concerning the sewer service to 153 Elkay Dr. ~1e would 1 ike to sta ~e, too, that each time we communicate with your office we are gi~len a dif ferent reason as to why 2 service lines are needed . A brief sequence of events will show our perspective: - June 11 ~ S eve attended an information meeting at North Eugene High . A man representing the city stated in writing that our property ~rould require 2 service lines and gave a rough estimate of the costs. - We were sent a form requesting our preference of placement of tie access ~ i ne . We returned the f orrn showing ~he 1 i ne to be on the east side. - A woman came by and began marking the service access on the west side. Steve spoke with her and corrected the error. She remarked ~he access and proceeded to talk with Steve about the hook up. She stated that it would be necessary to run 2 lines since there are two houses on the property . During the summer, we contacted Eric Jones several times by phone. He first cited the rule which says hat twv dwellings not connected by one roof must have separate service lines . Steve argued that to him this was not a valid reason for the extra charge. - Steve went down to the office to talk with Eric in person. They talked at length and this time Eric brought up the subdividing issue. Sieve told him that we bought it wi~h the understanding that it could never be subdivided. Eric did not offer to research his or tell us where to find out . Steve wanted further explanation and Eric said he would get back to him. - Eric never d~.d contact us . Steve went down again . Basically tie same conversation resulted with Steve requesting to see his si~pe.rvisor. Er?e said that it would benefi. ~ Steve more to just go to the February 1~ meeting and that Michelle would be there to give a better explanation.
