Where would the treatment plant be located for the proposed sewer district?
The proposed location for the treatment plant for the proposed sewer district would be Fern Park. Fern Park is town owned and offers adequate space for the plant and separation from surrounding homes. The outfall is proposed to extend 500 feet into Fourth Lake.
|
Does the Town's property (i.e. Arrowhead Park) count towards the assesed value?
No. Since property owned by the Town is not taxable, any such Town property will be ommitted from consideration (it should not count toward "all taxable real property") and, therefore, the petition will not be signed on behalf of the Town.
|
What does the petition need before it can be acted on?
The petition requires signatures from (1) owners totaling at least one half of the assessed valuation of all taxable property in the proposed district, and (2) full-time resident owners totaling at least one half the assessed valuation of all taxable real property owned by full-time resident owners. Signatures of seasonal residents within the proposed district will count towards requirement (1) but not towards requirement (2).
