M'antagcr, Ater & 91as'ieetiater Utility D26/e Theodore D. Berns Attomey at Law 1007 West 3rd Avenue Suite 300 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 (907)272-0345 August 26, 1982 Mr. Brust Director Div. of Environmental Health Dept. of Health & Environmental Protection Municipality of Anchorage Pouch 6-650 Anchorage, Alaska 99502 Dear Mr. Brust: I represent Ms. Louise Koonce, owner of Lot 9, Block 1 Sea Cliff Subdivision in Anchorage. This property contains one single family dwelling which is situated on the lot as shown in the attached as built survey. Prior to the expansion of Dimond Boulevard, the initial size of this lot was such that the dwelling was located, in its entirety, well over One Hundred Feet (100') from the edge of the Dimond Boulevard Right -of -Way. However, the State of Alaska subsequently acquired the back twenty-five feet of the lot which has resulted in a situation in which a portion of the dwelling falls within One Hundred Feet (100') of the Dimond Boulevard Right -of -Way. This situation has caused a problem in that, under AMC 15.65.030 A. septic tank systems are not allowed if "the premises" on a lot are within One Hundred Feet (1001) of "A right-of-way or easement containing a sewer line from which sanitary sewer service is available." There does not appear to be any dispute as to the adequency of the present septic tank system which has functioned well for many years. It is my further understanding from talking with Mr Les. Bucholtz and others that the soils in the area are such that there is no reason to believe that the continued use of the septic system would pose any problem. Additonally, I Mr. Brust-Page 2 understand that exceptions to th0e above "100 feet" rule have been granted where excessive costs would be involve and where no health problems are present. Because of the above quoted ordinance, Ms. Koonce is having great difficulty obtaining financing in conjunction with a sale of the property and is being asked to escrow a large sum of money in case the expesive connection to the sewer line within the Dimond Boulevard Right -of -Way is required. It is my further understanding that this connection would be extremely expensive due to the heavily wooded nature of the back lot area and to the fact that the connection would be over One Hundfle Feet (1001) to the actual sewer line in the Dimond Boulevard Right -of -Way. As noted above, I have dicussed this matter with Les Bucholtz, and I feel that the clear intent of AMC 15.65.030 A is to cover a situation where a dwelling is well within One Hundred Feet (100') of the actual sewer line. Unfortunately, due to the ambiguous reference to "the premises" a question exists as to whether AMC 15.65.030 A would mandate a sewer hook-up in the present case. I believe that a reasonable interpretation of AMC 15.65.030 A would be to require a mandatory hook-up where the entire premises or atleast the entire dwelling area is within the One Hundred Foot distance to the public Right -of -Way of Easement. Under such an interpretation, the property invovled in the present case would not be required to hook-up since the bulk of the property, including most of the living area, is outside of the One Hundred Foot boundry. I believe that if your office will concur with this interpretation in this case and indicate your concurrence , the appropriate financing authorities will accept this and will not require the unnecessary expense of a sewer hook-up in conjunction with Ms. Konnce's sale of her her property. Since a closing date on the property is immenent, your earliest attention will be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions concerning the above pleae contact my office at 278-3551. erely Theodore D.
