CMH INC - Waiver Request to Water Connection

LDC 6.14.2.B(1)(a) - Water Connection

CODE states New development in the Urban or Rural area shall connect to a centralized water system with available capacity if a water line is within a connection distance of 400 feet times the total number of Equivalent Residential Connections (ERCs).

APPLICANT requests waiver because the property has existing well. New water main (which is 400 feet away) will cost $50,000 and take one year to complete. The cost for city water to be brought to homesite is way too expensive. The estimate is 48 to 55K. The timeline from MCU is 10 to 12 months which is too long for this home project. I did get an independent bid from Civil Works & Maintenance LLC and this estimate is almost $45K which is way too much also for our home project. This lot already has a working well and septic and if we have to bring city water to homesite, the costs that we will spend will make our porject way too expensive for anybody to buy a new home on this property. We could not get an appraisal that would justify the costs of a new home on the property with city water costs. Clayton Homes of Ocala has a great reputation in our community providing quality homes to people living in our county already or moving into our county. Our project would clean up the last lot on this street and we would bring another happy homeowner into our community.
