The residence in question was occupie~ by Mr. Weinig
during this department's initial inspection of the sewer
m~d water facilities. Unfort~ateiy, the sewage absorption
area location is unkno~n as vents for access are missing.
Since the location is unknown an~ thought to be in violation
from information supplied by the real estate agent, this
department offered two(2) options.
(1) Uncover components of the sewer system to establish
desitin and location for evaluation°
(2) Escrow monies for a new on-site system.
To facilitate closing the escrow option was utilized. The
existing system may absorb sewaue at.a~, acceptable rate for
current residence, however, its~prox~m~ty to the well is
unknown. Additionally, the well could at some future date
become contaminated. ~
This department still requests; (1) the existing facilities
be locate~ to determine if an a~equate separation between well
and sewer exist and, if indeed, the separation is adequate, the
absorption rate be tested to national standards and the
septic tank pumped or; (2) a new on-site sewer system be
installed per ~,~unicipal ordinances°
If there are any further questions, please contact this office

Dear Mr. Buchholz;
Weinig, Richard A. et ux
As you are aware, we have been holding an escrow for completion
of the sewer system to meet the Municipal standards since April
15, 1976. In that the real estate agent in this case~ Whitney
Ellison has been unable~ in her opinion to gain free access to the
property to place a sewer system upon the Same because she has
not been able to reach a proper agreement with the owners, Mr. and
Mrs. Richard A. Weinig, we have held Mrs. Ellison;s funds in escrow
as guaranty of completion of the sewer system to meet Municipal
standards for a period of approximately 2½ years. We desire to
complete whatever arrangements are necessary to satisfy the
requirements of the escrow for purposes of insuring that we
have an adequate sewage disposal system upon the site. Apparently,
the system is totally adequate for the Weinigs as they report
no failure. It seems we are in an impossible situation as we
understand it. But in any event, in view of the escrow agreement
and the legal documents, the Weinigs have signed with this Bank,
it is our position that we will proceed to resolve this matter
forthwith.
At this time, we would like to be advised as to the specifics of
why the sewer system does not meet the standards of the Municipality
of Anchorage. If in fact, it is inadequate, we would like to know
exactly what must be done to bring it to compliance for it is totally
inappropriate for us to continue to hold funds that were given us

by the seller or his agent in perpetuity because they are unable to
reach an agreement to enter the premises and complete whatever
improvements must be made. Your early consideration of this request
prior to inclement weather preventing construction. Thank you
for your help in this matter. /
