WYLDEWOOD ACRES COMMUNITY SEPTIC DISCUSSION – CARRIE MITCHELL
Carrie Mitchell, 14192 209th St N., attended the December Council meeting and asked the City
Council to assist her in transitioning her house to a more cost-effective septic system than the
Wyldewood community system. Staff provided Council with emails from the City Attorney
stating that any resident wishing to disconnect from the Wyldewood community septic system
must obtain the Homeowners Association’s (HOA) approval. If approval is granted, the City
would then need to revise the Wyldewood Development Agreement. Ms. Mitchell stated she
would work with the HOA.
Steve Plaisance, 21160 Odell Ave. N. stated the HOA is working on the plans for the state-
mandated improvements. He would like the City to reconsider its position on taking over
ownership of the system, believing City ownership provides the best financial relief for all
residents involved. He suggested perhaps a management agreement could be reached under
which the City owns the system, while the HOA continues to oversee its operation. Mayor
Kronmiller directed staff to continue this discussion and add it to a future meeting agenda.
Councilmember Gribble stated he sees the merit of Mr. Plaisance’s request, but believes that
helping Wyldewood would not be fair to other developments that have worked to fix their
community and individual septic issues.
