Freeman, Atty. P. O. Box 1330 Sanford, Florida 32771 Re: ORDINANCE 1f66 Dear Mr. Freeman: The purpose of this correspondence is to outline various items discussed on Monday, December 13, pertaining to the revision of Section 3 of pro- posed Ordinance #66. Also, we would like to present some additional thoughts we have had regarding the revision of this section. .-.. The purpose of this section of the ordinance ance of septic tank and private well permits sewer facilities cannot feasibly be utilized is to provide for the iss~- when the central water and to serve a subdivision. ~ 1. A developer shall first make application to the utility company ~ holding a franchise to service the area. /2. In the event that the utility company refuses to serve the sub- division, the developer may, at his option, make application to the Village Council for utilization of septic tanks and private wells. ~ 3. The property shall be subdivided, consisting of minimum lot sizes ~ that conform to Seminole County Health Regulations. . /4. Even though septic tank and/or private well permits are issued, the developer is to design and construct a water distribution system and sewage collection system at his own expense, including a water and sewer service extended to the front property line of each lot. \ el'[sewer mains are to be located along the center line of the street rights- ~J of-way, and the water mains are to be located within the rights-of- :< e~\{l" ' ,way, approximately eight feet from the right-of-way line. Water and NO e€ r! sewer service are to be terminated at the right-of-way line. &~-~ 5. Plans and specifications for the water distribution system and the sewage collection system should be submitted to the village engi- neer and the franchised utility company for approval. I -- r"" ~ .- - Re: ORDINANCE 1,66 December 15, ~~/~ ,.. 1 ~t-O I \'.\ 0 Jer ' <\ CO ~,,{l ~~~€ 6. Upon completion of the water and sewer systems, the developer's engineer shall certify to the Village and the franchised utility that said systems have been completed in substantial agreement with plans and specifications. 7. The engineer's certificate should be accompanied by: a. An absolute bill of sale, conveying the water and sewer systems to the franchised utility. b. The developer, at the time of engineering certification, shall pay the appropriate connection fee (presently $115 for water and sewer) that is in effect at the time of the devel- oper's application. The payment shall be made to an appoint- ed escrow agent. (I suggest here that the appointed agent be the Village Attorney.) These funds are to be held in trust by the escrow agent and released to the franchised utility at the time water distribution and sewage collection systems are connected to the treatment facility of the franchised utility. .-.. c. In addition to the connection fee, the developer shall is- sue payment of a rehabilitative and activation fee amounting to $25 per lot. This payment is to be held in trust by the escrow agent and released to the franchised utility when the systems are connected to the central treatment facility. This fund will be utilized for disinfecting the cleaning of the water and sewer mains. d. The funds being held by the escrow agent will be released to the franchised utility when that utility has produced a written statement from a Florida-registered engineer, certify- ing that the water and sewer systems have been connected to the treatment facility and the water and sewer systems have been cleaned and disinfected. I \ \ I~ 8. Upon receipt of the appropriate connection fee, the franchised util- ity will furnish and install a water meter at the front property line of each lot. 9. It shall be the responsibility of each lot owner, whether it be the developer or subsequent owner, to install water and sewer piping within the lot and make the connection to the water and sewer service at the right-of-way line. Said connection will be performed under the supervision of the franchised utility. All water and sewer piping within the property is to be installed at the expense of the lot owner. ~ . 10. It will be MANDATORY that each property owner connect to the water '. '0 and sewer systems no less than 120 days after the systems have been connected to the central treatment facility of the franchised utility. The property conveyed to the franchised utility on the absolute bill of sale may be carried as an asset by the utility. r -- ....-. ",- - Re: ORDINANCE #66 -3- December 15, 1971 11. Said property shall be operated and maintained by the franchised . ~ utility. If the Village acquires the water and sewer systems and ~ - treatment facilities of the utility at some future date, the water and sewer systems that have been serviced under this arrangement of tem- porary septic tanks and/or private wells, shall be conveyed by the utility to the Village free of charge. This free conveyance applies only to those systems that have been served under this arrangement. f1 "p ~\! \ COV 0~~)€et!.'{f1 r ,. () .- r- YDlr'W\,,- 12. In the event that the franchised utility, upon receipt of an application from a developer, refuses to serve sewer--but can provide water service, the water system shall be installed at the expense of the developer and conveyed to the utility as outlined above. The con- nection to the central water treatment facility will be made immediately upon completion of the system. The water connection fee in this case will be paid directly to the utility company and only the sewer connec- tion fee will be held in escrow, along with the rehabilitative and activation fee. In this case, only the sewer system would be conveyed free of charge if the Village acquires that system at some future date. om, I know this is lengthy, but I think it is important that all of these items be considered in Section 3 of Ordinance #66. Please advise if you have any questions. Very truly yours, FLORIDA LAND COMPANY J. Nolan Reed Director of Development JNR/mh cc: Mayor Granville Brown Robert N. Dosh Mary Norton ~-
