Contractor says utility hookup rules make permitting for Darrell Road parcel cumbersome
Summary
Michael Graft of MJG Construction asked the board for help obtaining a permit for a Darrell Road parcel, saying required water and sewer hookups are impractical because utilities are roughly 1,000 feet away; village officials explained hookup rules and variance requirements.
During public comment, Michael Graft of MJG Construction asked the board for assistance obtaining a permit for work on Darrell Road, saying the ordinance requires hookup to village water and sewer even though utilities are approximately 1,000 feet away and that variance procedures are cumbersome for a single-family home.
Director Chris Carlsen told the board, "Will be on their own for NMWRD" with respect to certain utilities, and Attorney David McArdle clarified the municipal code: "If the water isn’t available within a specified distance, they do not need a variance; they are required to hook up when the water main is available." The exchange established both the contractor's concern about permitting burdens and the attorney's guidance on when hookup is required.
