Dear Mr. Witt,
This letter is in regards to the availability of city sewer service for tax lot # 411300-
4-004-0004. We are weeks away from submitting for review to the city of
Bainbridge plans to erect a single family residence on this tax parcel. At this time we
must decide whether to proceed with a septic system design or submit to the city to
be included into the sanitary sewer system service area.
We received a letter dated March 10, 2005 denying our request for city sewer
service at this location. However, under the guidelines of the recently adopted
Public Sanitary Sewer Policies of the 2004 Comp plan update, minor modifications
which are within the existing sewer facility capacity may be allowed with approval
by the city council. In consideration of this recently adopted guideline, we
respectfully request to be included in the Winslow Sanitary Sewer System
service area.
Here are some other arguments for inclusion of this particular property in to the
sewer service area:
• The sewer Manhole is located at the S.W. corner of the property and serves our
neighbor next door. The sewer line could easily be extended an additional 10 feet
to service our property.
• Installation of the septic system large enough for the proposed structure would
require a drain field reaching to the front of the property directly across the street
from the Madrona Water System well. This well provides fresh water to eleven
different families. Since septic systems are known to fail, this would compromise
the safety of the well.
• Of the estimated 4600 septic systems on the island, 11% may be failing or near
failing. (Comp Plan Update, Sewerage Facilities Analysis and Future Needs). The
sewer service could be extended beyond this location to serve the entire
neighborhood north of this location and prove helpful if a surrounding neighbor
experiences a septic system problem near by the water well.

• We are not asking for sewer service in order to subdivide this property as the
property is capable of supporting septic for two parcels already.
Please consider this request at the upcoming Public Works Commission meeting on
April &h, 2005 and inclusion at the earliest possible city council meeting.
Sincerely,
Ken and Cami Fo

RE: Sewer Availability (Non -Binding Letter) for Tax Lot # 411300-4-004-0004
Dear Applicant:
We received and reviewed your request for sewer availability. Unfortunately, the tax lot
identified is outside of our current sewer service boundary area and, therefore, your
request for city sewer service is denied.
However, a sewer service connection could be allowed in this area if the City's Comprehensive
Plan is amended to include this property in the service area. For more information on the City's
comprehensive plan you need to contact the city's Planning Department. Ms. Libby Hudson is
the Senior Long -Range Planner most familiar with the Comprehensive Plan amendment
process. She can be reached at 206.842.2552.
If I can be of further assistance you can reach me at 206.780.3586.
Sincerely,
0�

The sen ice arca for the Winslow Sanitary Sewer System shall be the area designated in Figure
Emergency service or other minor modifications to Figure 2, which are within the existing se���er
facility capacity, may be allowe roval by the City Council, provided that such extensions
serve areas that have a environmental nee or sewer due to 1) a high number of documented
failing septic systems; or 2) proxtmt y o sensitive bodies of water that are unsuitable for on-site
septic systems according to the Kitsap County Health District. Major sen -ice area expansions that
require a facility capacity analysis shall be evaluated under Policy SSP 2.7.
Discussion: An emergency requiring sewer connection is defined pursuant to the regulation and
guidance of the Department of Health.
SSP 2.s
Sewer connections shall not be mandated for uses with existing septic systems that are full},
functioning and maintained, provided that the use does not change.
SSP 2.6
Those properties receiving new public sewer service shall pay a proportional share of the cost
for providing that service.
(Alternative: Funding for public sewer facilities will be paid primarily by users, in accordance
with Capital Facilities Policy CF 1.12)
SSP 2.7
Public Sewer Facilities Planning and Major Improvements
A. When the existing capacity of public sewer facilities reaches the threshold set for mandatory
evaluation of the treatment plant as established by regulatory agencies, planning to address
the shortfall in sewer facility capacity shall be initiated. The Public Works Department, in
consultation with the Planning and Community Development Department, will perform the
preliminary planning on the methods of providing sewer service utilizing a public
participation process. The planning will include evaluation of the following:
1. Feasibility of alternatives to large sewer facilities;
2. Operational changes to the existing public sewer facility;
3. Expansion of the existing sewer facility; and
4. Siting of a new public sewer facility.
B. In developing alternatives for providing sewer service, the Public Works Department shal l:
1. Investigate alternatives to modifications of existing or placement of new sewer facilities
that would be satisfactory to the regulatory agencies for their consideration;
2. Prepare a comparative analysis of alternatives, including a capacity analysis of the
existing facility; and
3. Develop costs and alternate financing methods for the feasible alternatives.
C. A comprehensive plan amendment will be necessary if new sewer service areas are
proposed for a new public sewer facility or major expansion of an existing public sewer
facility.
1. In planning and establishing a new service area for a new public sewer facility or major
expansion of an existing public sewer facility that provides additional service, service
