Sewer committee recommends EDU reduction; board to review bedroom-definition dispute
Summary
The Sewer Advisory Committee recommended reducing one property's EDU from 3.0 to 2.3; the board heard public comment and agreed to re-examine whether a contested room meets the sewer-law definition of a bedroom before taking final action.
The Sewer Advisory Committee presented recommendations on two appeals and proposed an adjustment of an EDU assessment. The committee recommended reducing one property's EDU assessment from 3.0 to 2.3 EDUs; committee members were present and invited to speak.
During the Kearney appeal, a participant (addressed as Mr./Ms. Carney) asked to speak about whether a disputed interior room meets the town's sewer-use definition of a bedroom (discussion focused on whether the room is a pass-through versus having independent access and whether it meets a 70-square-foot threshold). The Chair and council members discussed the interpretation of the sewer use law and agreed to "look into it" rather than act immediately, so no final change was recorded at that moment.
