~EC~~ii'~.~ <br />G[[; 14. 1~J1 <br />~~~ ~~" wuu,~tVr <br />February 13 , 1991 <br />To: Hearing official -City of Eugene <br />From: Ste~~e Thompson <br />Re: River Road Sewer Project <br />153 Elkay Drive <br />After much discussion and research with the sewer prof ect com- <br />mittee, it was decided that the real reason ~ had to have two <br />service lines, was to meet state plumbing code requirements . In <br />a telephone conversation with Gary Keeble, I learned of a plumb- <br />ing code dating back to the early 1950's which states that where <br />two homes are located on one tax lot , separa ~e service lines <br />must connect them with the rnair. sewer line. Although I feel <br />that the plumbing code is outdated, due to more modern plumbing <br />materials and ractices, I felt that I had finally been given a <br />P <br />reason as ~o the city's requirements . <br />~~ <br />Since my discuss ion with Gary, I have observed other properties <br />which have two homes on one lo~~. ~t appears ~ however, that they <br />have only one service line connecting them to the sewer. This <br />would be a violation of the plumbing code and would show an <br />inconsistent application of the code by the city. The code <br />should be enforced on all properties or not enforced at all. <br />I would like to know the status of other properties with two <br />homes before I am assessed the extra S75o charge for two service <br />lines to my lot. <br />I apprecia~e your fair consideration and the time taken to <br />review my case. Thank you . <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Steve Thompson <br />
