President <br /> Piney Mountain Homeowner's Association <br /> 4729 Taproot Lane <br /> Durham, N. C. 27705 <br /> Dear Mr. Whitaker: <br /> Over the last several months,I have had several conversations With Ms.Deborah Christie regarding <br /> the possibility of sewer service being provided by the City of Durham to the Piney Mountain subdivision. <br /> This discussion was in view of the fact that the current onske system serving the subdivision was not <br /> operating property. 1 had advised Ms. Christie that the Piney Mountain subdivision was located in a utility <br /> service area designated to OWASA by the City of Durham and that service by the City would be contingent <br /> upon a release from OWASA. <br /> As of this date. OWASA has not indicated a willingness to release the subdivision to service by the <br /> City of Durham, nor has R Indicated under what conditions, if any, it may be willing to do so. If, however, <br /> OWASA were to release the subdivision,subject to conditions found acceptable by the City,this is to advise <br /> that I would be willing to recommend to the City Council that the City of Durham provide sewer service to <br /> the Piney Mountain subdivision subject to the terms of an agreement. The terms to be Included in that <br /> agreement have not yet been fully determined. However, 4 would include a provision whereby the sewer <br /> collection system within the subdivision. a pump station, and farce main connecting the subdivision to the <br /> existing City sewer system would remain In the ownership of the Piney Mountain Homeowner's Association, <br /> and that sewer service would be limited to the existing lots within the Piney Mountain subdivision both <br /> developed and vacant. No new phases of the subdivision could be served by the sewer system nor could <br /> any other development outside the subdivision. <br /> The provisions of this letter are limited to an agreement between the City and the Piney Mountain <br /> Homeowner's Association. No commitment Is being made at this time for any similar arrangement with any <br /> other entity that might subsequently own and/or operate the sewer collection system serving the Piney <br /> Mountain subdivision. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me. <br /> sincerely, <br /> Kenneth E. Wright, PE, RLS <br /> City Engineer <br /> KEW/icp <br /> c: Lee Murphy <br /> Don Greeley <br /> Deborah Christie <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITYIAPitRMATIYE ACTION EMPLOYER <br />
