Gaetzke moved to have the City Engineer provide estimates for
this addition. Ald. Nilsson seconded and the motion carried.
Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Pellmann appeared to discuss their assessment
on Woods Road. The Pellmans objected to their sewer assessment
because the gravity sewer is installed at a depth of 30 ft.; thus
making it uneconomical to service any land divisions other than
• major subdivisions.
Mr. Joe Eberle appeared to discuss the servicing of Woods Road
past -the Pellmann Farm and how a future subdivision could be
hooked up to manholes in the road.
The committee reviewed alternatives for establishing a Hardship
Policy for property owners not required to connect to sewers due
to cost because of distance.
1. ECONOMIC HARDSHIP - The Homestead Act could be used
as a guideline.
Reverse Mortgage - The City could
make the sewer assessment and put a
lien against the property. Upon the
sale of the property, assessment fee
plus interest could be collected.
2. PHYSICAL HARDSHIP - The City would put in lateral to
within 10 ft of the property line.
Mr. Victor Lemke appeared to discuss the hardship with his
sewer. He is 500 ft. from the sewer main on Janesville Road.
Mr. Lemke was informed that the policy will be discussed at a
future meeting.
• Mr. Kibbe presented his report for February. The committee
