As you had suspected,. <br /> it appears that a por�tion of the �Dr ve,t erte ds as fewe feetr into <br /> the residence at 315 . ilver Meado <br /> your property. � <br /> Orono's septic code normally requires a setback of 20' from the <br /> toe of a mound system to the lot line. It is not uncommon, <br /> however, for the City to a l low a 10' lot line setback in cases <br /> where the site area is restricted and where the d2creased setback <br /> wil 1 not affect neighboring properties. <br /> While the City vf Orono measures setbacks to the toe of the <br /> mound , the State of riinnesta Individual Sewage Treatment <br /> S�andards and Regulations , also known as Chapter 7080, states <br /> that the setback should be measured from the defined soil <br /> treatment area , which ends at a point 5' beyond the ends of the <br /> rock layer. Under that interpretation, the mound system in <br /> question might very well meet the setback standards withfn the <br /> State rules. while I do not agree with the State's definition, <br /> contractors working in many different cities may find different <br /> interpre�ations in each locality. <br /> The mound in question, installed by American Sewer 6 Water under <br /> Permit �1495 for M & L Construction, was constructed in December <br /> 1988. The only documented ins�ections on fi le are for the tanks <br /> on December 6th and for the ground rough up inspection on <br /> December 8th. There is no indication in the records of a <br /> question about the lot line location, r�nd we do not know on what <br /> � basis American Sewer & tti'ater determined where to put the mound, <br /> : except that the approved plan indfcates a 10' setback from the <br /> BUII�I�G i�ZO�t1.UG-�73-�57 • ADN1115TR�1Ti0�d Fl�A�CE-r73-735E • PI�BUC a'ORK�-�': <br /> ASSFtq�iG F�Y-17}0510 <br />
