Pursuant to Council Order 149 -AA passed May 30, 1973, directing
the City Engineer to prepare a report relative to the cost of
providing a service to the Hammond Street a est of
Interstate Highway 1-95, the following report is submitted:
The study was made at the request of Mr. Frank Murray, the
owner of property at 841, 847 and 849 Hammond Street. The sewer
extension is necessitated by malfunctioning septic task systems
on those properties.
The proposed sewer installation would begin at an existing sewer
located approximately 300 feet south from Hammond Street at an
Mifisting manhole located in the dedicated right-of-way of
ldred Avenue, and would extend in a northerly direction to
Hammond Street, and thence i v
easterly direction to serve the
properties in question. The n
installation would consist of 405
feet of 8" Class 2400 asbestos cement pipe and two manholes. The
total estimated cost of installation is $4500 0£ which 75%, or
$3375 may be assessed against the properties benefited. It
should be noted that the sewer extension would not only serve
e the
r
property owned by Mr. Murray, having a total area of 18,700square
feet, but would also serve 126,400 square feet of land owned by
the University of Maine, located north of Hammond Street and west
of Interstate Highway I-95. In this respect, it is proposed that
the sewer assessment be prorated against the above-mentioned prop-
erty in proportion to the area served, as follows:
Total Assessment
Land owned by Frank Murray - 18,700 sq. ft. $ 434.95
Land owned by Univ. of Maine - 126,400 sq. ft. $2940.05
Total: $3375.00
It should be also noted that Mr. Murray requested in his petition
that the sewer
assessments be reduced from 75% to 50%. I£ this
were done, then the total aaent for the above-mentioned sewer
extension would be $2250, to be assessed as follows:
Total Assessment
Land owned by Frank Murray - 18,700 eq. ft. $ 269.95 sm
Land owned by Univ, of Maine - 126,400 sq. ft. $1960.05
Total Assessments: $2250.00
it is recommended that the sewer
assessments be reduced to 50%,
rather than the 75% which has been assessed sed previously. The State
Statutes allow municipalities to assess up to 50%, and apparently
only Bangor and Portland are allowed to assess more. it is felt
that 75% is excessive, especially in cases of ertergency, such a
this, where the sewer extension isimmediately r sary for health
Furthermore, it is felt that the reduction of sewer
assessments to 50% will stimulate private development of residential
and commercial areas. It should be pointed out that the assessment
for street construction is only 50%.
It is recommended that the sewer asent against the property of
Frank Murray be limited to 50%, to be levied upon completion of the
sewer construction. It is further recommended that the asent
against the University of Maine property be limited to 50% if
University agrees to pay the assessment upon completion of the sewer;
if the University requests that the assessment be deferred, then it
s recommended that their prorated share be computed at the rate of
75% for deferment.
A plan showing the proposed sewer extension is attached.
Respectfully Submitted,
John T. Frawley
