--,. e e Mr. Jim Norman Page 2 Ideally, this site would be best serviced by City sewer and water. We formally request the City to consider the possibility of extending municipal services to this site (perhaps via Puma St.) when sewer and water is extended west along Highway 10, which we would hope would be in the not too distant future. Alternatively, the City has in the past explored the issue of increased density in unsewered areas but has never defined criteria for such development. If public sewer and water were not timely available to the site a common septic system and perhaps common wells cou1,d be designed as an intermediate al ternati ve, integratable into a public sewer system, when the same is available to the site. Areas owned by North Fork north of 153rd could be used for drainfield purposes. The identified area is also not subject to the overall Park Dedication Agreement for Northfork which governs the rest of the Northfork PUD. Discussions, and perhaps resolution, of Park Dedication for this parcel may be timely given the proposed commencement of improvements of Lake Itasca Park. We would ask that the City consider the identified parcel for multiple development. We would further ask that the City commit to the extension of multiple services along Highway 10 to the western terminus of the City and since actual extension may take some time we would additionally ask the City to consider what criteria and what construction standards might be required for a temporary septic system which would allow for the current multiple housing development of the site and integration of this system into the municipal system when available to the parcel. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss these issues with you at your convenience. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please let us know. S, incerely, f ~~~ Dennis F.
